Cs Premier Hotel

Note: if you have heavy luggages, with kids and your plan is to tour around, don’t pick this hotel. It 650 meters from sindaebang station exit 2 straight and crosswalk. (This is the nearest station) don’t go to “gwanak or anyang station” these two are very far compare to sindaebang. I suggest use Naver or google map to navigate after exiting from station. It’s a very looooong bumpy walk if you have heavy luggages. But if you’re a backpacker you will not mind it. Unless you want to take a cab from station which 3 minutes driving, but cost you about 4-5,000 Won, more if you’re from somewhere. For me it’s waaay too far and hassle specially if the weather is hot or raining. It’s from from touristy place, but reachable thru subways and busses. Very costly if you don’t use subway and opt for a cab. Remember: every subway station is very far from each other and when I say “very far” I mean “kilometers”. The Hotel: has pleasant ambiance, there’s elevator, carpeted hallway, CCTV’s, parking lot, hotel is located at main road, easy to get a cab, near bus station. Nearest subway sindaebang (green line), Quiet safe place. Clean and presentable. Most of the staffs can’t speak and understand English. Just show them the screenshot of your reservation, or picture and sign language will do😁. Booked this thru agoda 3 months prior to arrival date. That time is on promo so I got this for Php 2,887.00/ night or $55/night for 6 nights. There’s plenty of BBQ restaurants nearby, pretty cool to walk around to find the best food chain to eat. There’s a lot of chicken restaurants, (well, I don’t know why Korean loves chicken) Bakeries, Cafes, mini mart, drug store, pretty much everything you need. There’s CU convenience store just beside the hotel lobby. The Room: room itself is tiled floor. Clean, and spacious. Dining area, Newly renovated, so smells new. I booked for a twin bedroom, but they gave us one king bedroom disappointed because my son is 16 years old and don’t want to share bed with parents anymore. Luckily we’re just two. It’s hard to communicate with staff so we accept the room. The bed is quite hard and the pillows are uncomfortable. (Sigh) air conditioned, Theres in-room refrigerator with free bottled water. No in-room microwave (dissapointed again because My son loves to eat rice, and we can’t reheat the food right away) it’s a good thing I have ability, so I tried to ask permission at the convenience store nearby the lobby to use their microwave. The older man is kind enough to allow me-everytime! There’s in-room kettle and free teas and coffees. No big wardrobe. The only wardrobe I’ve seen is the one near by the main door. And the door connected to the comfort room is the same door for the small rack where the robes located to hang some clothes.(Disappointed) though the WiFi is very fast. There’s English Channel with good movies. The bathroom: Bathroom is spacious to move around, but no racks to hang used towels. And no curtain or blinds to cover the blurry glass window separating from the room to the bathroom. (Disappointed) not all travelers are couple you know. Some, with kids or teenagers like us. Embarrassing when you take shower, plus the bath tub is on the shower area. It’s not separate! No bidet as well, it’s uncomfortable to seat in a toilet then go wash to the tub. 👎🏽. There’s hair dyer. Slippers. The amenities: The room is equipped with amenities such as toiletries. They will clean and replaced everything that is missing and seemed used. I can’t complain on that! Plus free flowing of free bottled water. By request of course. Or if you see a housekeeping cleaning other room, feel free to ask for a bottled water they will give you without hesitation. Everyday I asked for 4 bottles. Don’t buy water outside. Just bring some instead. Breakfast is basic I don’t recommend it. It’s not decent and not worth the cost, don’t eat at the garden cafe too expensive for their menu. Just eat outside and find some decent meal. Check out is 12pm. Well, We stayed and toured in Seoul for a month This was reason I booked to a practical hotels like this. It’s safe, comfortable, decent, accessible to almost everything than to a backpacker hostel that is small, untidy and stinks with same price. For the value of money and everything on it, I’m still planning to stay here again. But next time with small luggage.
