Residence Hotel Line

The hotel itself is fine. But I haven’t found a single place in korea that’s foreigners friendly. They mention English language in the description on trip.com but the staff doesn’t understand it. I booked the room with a kitchen so I could warm up my food. Utensils were not present in the room. I went to the first floor to collect utensils but the receptionist told me that I can’t eat curry in the room. He said if I eat it, he can’t sell the room for a week. I wasn’t going to cook, just wanted to heat my meal but I wasn’t allowed. It was a disappointment. Other people were ordering pizzas and eating their meals inside their rooms. As a foreigner, I have extremely limited food choices. I said I won’t cook. I just need to reheat my meal but I was refused. Because of winter, I couldn’t take my food to eat outside. I felt most Korean hotels discriminate against foreigners. The room was fine. The curtains were not black out and light was coming inside at 6 am. There was no microwave oven. A washing machine was present with a cloth drying rack. I am also disappointed with trip.com. They publish the hotel advertisements like it’s an international hotel but the staff doesn’t understand minimum English. I paid 60,000 for one night stay on a working day.

Good hotel for affordability and security. I remember the bed being a bit uncomfortable and the water in the shower was barely more than cold. Staff are very nice, and a bonus option is you have options to fix food in the room with cutlery and bowls generously available in the lobby. Iif you’re not Korean, don’t speak the language, and are not familiar with the area, this part of town is bound to feel a little sterile and bland … the locals probably know better.
