Hound Hotel Seomyeon 1st Street

Actually a more appropriate score would be 4 out of 5 for this hotel. But I’ve upped it to 5 for the way they dealt with a complaint. Firstly the hotel itself is very clean and the location is fantastic, right in the middle of everything, not far from Seomyeon metro station. We stayed in the Garden Terrace Spa Room on the 6th floor. Which was quiet, spacious and very comfortable despite the busy streets down below. The room has two jacuzzi type baths, one in the spacious bathroom and one outside on the private terrace. One thing to be aware of it’s there’s extremely limited storage. Fine for one night, but we were staying 4 nights and since there’s nowhere to put anything, had to live out of our suitcases. It was such a lovely big room otherwise. While we were there, there was was a really bad storm and we came home after dinner to a flooded room! The staff handled the crisis well and without prompt immediately arranged for a full refund of that nights stay, which we were impressed by... hence the rating of 5! If you’re staying there, please try the restaurant across the road (go right out of the exit next to reception and it’s next to the Dublin Hotel). It looks a bit scary if you’re a foreigner, it has a cows face picture in its signage (picture in this review) I’d review it separately, but I don’t know what’s it’s called in English!! It’s a BBQ place, serving cows intestines. Don’t be scared, you’ll receive a warm welcome at section 5 and the flavours are fantastic.
