Koreans hotel Seoul Korea
We got a room with bunk beds for 4 of us.
First, bathroom were really smelly from body odor scent. It got my daughter’s attention right away. They didn’t even want to take a shower. We found two bugs in one of the bed. Room was fine and having 120v and 240v was great. Location was good for sight seeing and restaurant around was ok.
Got breakfast in our package, one was American breakfast and other was Korean gookbap which was pretty tasty. Would recommend getting with the package.
Would not recommend for the price.

Weather was great but a little cold. Staff was nice. The room was great for the price, however, the AC didn’t seem to work too well.

Don’t bother
The only positive aspect of this hotel is its location. The room was smelly and dirty, with mold covering the bathroom. The breakfast was a complete waste of money. Early check-in came with an additional charge, and even requesting an extra blanket cost 24,000 won per day. I would never stay here again.

Location is good, but...
I stayed at Koreana Hotel for the first time in 2015. The rooms were outdated, old furniture, frayed carpets and so on. In the meantime they have renovated it, but it's still not as good as it should be. The standard rooms are ok, but the bathroom needs a total makeover. The premium rooms are better, new bathrooms, but the sinks are still too low and you get back pain trying to wash your hands. The towels are old and they still don't have any rooms with showers, just (small) bath tubs. It's such a pity that they do not want to modernise it properly. On the other hand, the location is outstanding. So they get enough tourists anyway.

Great Hotel.
Single night in Seoul. The parking was simple, location central, and the bed beyond comfort expectations. Staff service was friendly and accommodating for foreign languages.
