migot New Year’s Eve

Really great location! Short walks to the walking mall and Jukdo Market. Short drives to both Yeongildae Beach and Homigot. Room was spacious and housecleaning kept it very clean each day. Our only complaint is that the bed was very hard. We prefer softer beds, but the hard bed is common in Asia so it may work for others.

Typical Korean ‘Hook-up’ Motel

The property screams “sex motel” all around. It was a very simple room, with horrible lighting and just a very large bed. It seemed a little pricey considering how basic of a room it was. When you check in there’s a wall between you and the workers and you speak through a small hole so it’s completely anonymous. The rooms seemed to be a normal level of cleanliness.

It's decent in my opinion~

For the price, the room was quite spacey and comfortable. There weren't any issues with the facilities. Only complaint I have was that the bar soap in the bathroom wasn't replaced, and that one pair of the room slippers was torn a bit. Other than that, I'd recommend this room for it's good location and decently-priced service~~ ^ ^

During our stay, we didn’t manage to use the TV. May be it is due to language problem as we don’t speak Korean. Anyhow, it seems that the hotel fixed the TV to broadcast only ‘selected’ videos.

Was not immediately disclosed as a love motel on the site. Would not have been an issue if the place had at least been clean, especially for the most expensive room. It was late enough when we arrived we just wanted to sleep, but pulling back the covers there was a large stain that was the final straw. Left and found an older business hotel nearby.

Stayed here for one night to tour the city the next day. The bed was alright but the service was great as we had to call them a few times for things. Overall very good, no noise from neighbors or outside so we were very happy.

청소상태가 아쉬웠어요

시설이 오래된 것은 어쩔수 없는 부분이지만 투숙객들의 위생을 위한 방 내부, 침구청소 등은 숙박업의 기본이라고 생각됩니다. 바닥침구에 여기저기 붙어있는 긴 머리카락들을 보니 찝찝한 마음이 들었습니다.

너무 낙후되어 이용하기 꺼려지는 숙소

숙소는 사진과 너무 다르고, 내부의 청결도가 너무 떨어지고 실내등도 약하고 어두워서 숙소 안에서 글씨를 알아보기 힘듬. 수건 등 어메니티도 너무 더럽고, 낡아서 새로 바꿔야 할 것임. 주차 시설도 낙후되었고, 주차장도 협소하여 외부에 주차해야 할 정도임. 그것도 오후 6시 이전에 도착했는데, 주변에 주차할 공간이 없음.
