明洞媽媽旅館 (Mama Guesthouse Myeongdong)

臟，舊，簡陋，窄小…… 轉機打算睡幾個小時，結果環境差得也沒睡著。偏僻，隱蔽，門口的圖片跟裡面環境不相符

Location wise, it is quite near to Myeongdong train station and street market but for people who are not good with hills, at least be prepared to walk uphills. Staff was friendly. Although you won’t be able to see one most of the time. Now the downsides; for ₩150000 or around $130/night, I don’t think we got what we paid for. Seen other reviews saying “you get what you pay for”, I’m not sure how much they paid for. Firstly, no basic beddings like duvet and pillow case. The pillow itself was small and thin. Half the size of the standard pillow. Literally just a bed cover and bed heater underneath. Blankets and towel were so worn down. Requested for another towel which turned out to be of better quality than the other one we had. Thick dust under the bed with some left empty bottles and cups probably left by previous tenants. Bed frame actually quite flimsy. We were worried if we would break it. Shower was working well. We were hesitant to stay but it was not refundable. We don’t have big fuss about breakfast but bread left for guests at the kitchen was expired. We checked in on the 16th. Our first breakfast was on 17th and onwards, the same loaves of bread with the same expiry still on the counter and not replaced. I understand it’s not a hotel, there’s nothing much you can expect in terms of service but cleanliness is a must. Having said all that, the price should have been way cheaper. Wouldn’t recommended this for the price we have paid. Not worth it.

운영자님 ... 개인적감정은 없습니다 그런데 초4딸과 첫서울여행왔는데 숙소때문에 울어서 몇가지 글남겨요 숙소가 너무더럽습니다 프런트에 직원없는건 그렇다치고 방에 들어가서 보니 벌레들이 죽어있고 구석구석 먼지가 엄청납니다 온수도 안나와서 전 찬물로 머리감고 정말 한기가 느껴져 전화해서 다행이 아이는 온수로 씻었지만 저 샤워할때 놀랐어요 지하조식은 더 놀랐어요 시리얼곰팡이에 우유 유통기한지나있고 라면도 전기레인지가 자꾸 꺼져서 못먹었고 토스트빵도 없었습니다 커피 타서 한잔하려다 정수기 앞에 하수구에사는 물벌레보고 ㅜㅜ 암튼 조식값 환불받고싶습니다 전화 연락도 문자도 안받고 답장도없고 정말 너무 화가 치밀고 아이데리고 한참헤매다 식당에서 조식 해결했습니다 낡은시설은 이해합니다 그치만 식당보세요 곰팡이투성에 휴.. 암튼 진짜 외국인들도 식당에서 경악을 하고 되돌아갔어요 부끄럽습니다 제가 울분이납니다 다시는 명동근처도 안가고 싶어요

Впервые в жизни жила в номере, где за 100 долларов в день: - на кровати не было постельного белья. Ни простыни, ни пододеяльника - только наволочки - под кроватью лежал толстый слой пыли. А кроме того пакет от чипсов и грязный пластиковый стакан от предыдущих жильцов - кондиционер при температуре плюс 12 совершенно никак не работал на обогрев и спать пришлось в куртке - был очень сильный запах плесени

Отель не самый дешевый, однако в номере не было пододеяльника и наволочки. Наволочку с боем получила, а пододеяльник так и не дали. Ни зубной пасты, ни зубной щетки в номере нет. Большой плюс отеля - расположение. Рядом все, что нужно туристу.

We were able to locate the guest house easily using Naver Map. However, our first struggle was how to reach the destination itself. The guesthouse is located in an uphill area, almost near Namsan Cable Car (600km/20min walk). A great tip we discovered (after struggling of walking uphill for 2 days 😂) was using the escalators/elevators near the Ihoeyeong Memorial Hall. Go straight from there and you’ll find a 7-Eleven convenience store upon crossing the street. Go left then right at the first wide alley way you see, it should be uphill. Keep on walking until you see a signage of mama guest house on your right side. We booked a day before our arrival so we could immediately check-in in our rooms. A note welcomed us and our keys were found at the reception area. Pls don’t forget to remove your shoes and change into the slippers they provide found in the shoe cabinet at the left side of the entrance. Our rooms were next to each other, but differ in size. Bathroom was okay, but I hope they’ll fix the sink’s pipe problem in room 104 since it leaks on the floor upon using. I suggest buying shower filters (5,000 Won) since the water in SK is quite harsh. I suggest to test how you’ll adjust the temperature when showering. There were no bidets in our bathrooms. Always bring your keycard with you whenever you go out. They don’t go into your rooms like hotels would. If you have any requests, just leave a note on their desk (ie. New towels, tissue, etc.) They also don’t have laundry machines. Do not eat inside the rooms, only in the kitchen which is in the basement. If you feel like your trash bins are getting full, trash bins are found in the lobby and segregate everything according to their waste category. Just think of it as you’re staying on your own room. Walls are thin, made of light wood materials so I wouldn’t suggest talking nor listening to your phone loudly. Breakfast menu were cereals with milk, bread and flavored jam, and instant noodles. You can only consume what’s inside the fridge unless there’s a note that a room guest owns it. You can cook and buy your own food, just make sure you clean up after. You can also fill-up your water bottles here. Going to different areas are easy too since it’s near Myeongdong Station exit 1. If you’re planning to go shopping in Myeongdong, just go straight after exit 1 and you should see E-Mart across the street then cross on the first crosswalk you see. If you want to enter the “main” street, go left until you see the bug HBAF building. Overall, I think our stay was a good since the staff we get see was very accommodating to our requests. I just hope they’ll fix some of their bathroom leakage.

As the price is low, I didn't expect much. I took a cab to the pty as I had heavy luggage. It's only KRW5500 from Myeongdong shopping street, via Uber. The ramp to the entrance has two steps, making it difficult to roll my luggage up. Will be good if the ramp can be modified to slide all the way to the floor. Read other reviews on the lack of human interaction upon arrival. My key was in a bowl labelled with my name. The room 109 was small but acceptable for me as I only plan to stay for a night. The aircon, TV, window blinds, door frame were filthy, so I wiped them clean with my own rag. The bathroom was in the best condition but there was no hot water. The bed was comfortable, sheets were clean. I actually slept very well, right through the night. The basement kitchen had filtered water and basic food supplies. Strong WiFi. I hope the owner will clean the room well for future guests. While the rates are low, the owner should minimally clean the aircon, TV, blinds, door frame and bathroom exhaust, they were too dirty. I would not stay here again. But if u wish to, pls bring rags and be prepared to clean the room a little. Also I suggest you bring your own towels, and don't forget your own toiletries, bedroom slippers, this is not a hotel.

非常非常差！半山坡角落裡，房間跟廁所那麼點行李箱都沒法放！而且很髒！門鎖都是壞的！跟工地那種臨時房一樣！根本沒法住人！千萬別上當！尤其中國同胞！
