Geumjeong Fortress

The rooms where nice and big, some amenities are provided like shampoo and soap, also big towels are available by asking the reception. The beds where a bit hard, but still confortable with an additional pillow per bed. The location was good, close to various shops and the Lotte mall, we could walk for dinner and to many convenience stores.

Room is very nice & clean, but too warm because the heater is on during fall time. All staffs are super nice & helpful, except one guy working night shift, there was a family sitting in lobby eating fried food, without any problem, but when we brought our fried chicken to eat there, the front desk guy showed us the sign Not allow eating Ramen there ?...even we didn't have Ramen, and made us leave. Very Rude.

1. 8mins walk fm Seomyeon stn (metro line 1 & 2). Surrounded by many restaurants & convenient stores. Lotte Dept Store, Seomyeon underground shopping st. & food st. are also nearby. 2. The building shared btw few tenants and Arban Hotel occupied few levels. No dedicated lift for hotel guest, but u need hotel room card to access to yr floor. Didn't notice if there is a CCTV/cam inside/near the lift and so for solo traveller, please be careful. Reception is at 13th floor. 3. We arrived Arban Hotel at around 11am and a bit disappointed that we were not able to check in early hence we left our luggage at the reception area. 4. We checked in on Wednesday for 2 rooms & 3 nights stay, my rooms were at 6th floor, were able to sleep well on our 1st night. When come to 2nd night, we started to hear noise when we entered into our room, as the noise level were within our acceptance level hence we had ignored it. When come to 3rd night (Friday), the noise became obvious and we finally realized that there was a bowling center on the 5th floor (below our floor), and the ball rolling & striking sound last till midnight, we didn't ask for a change since we will be checking out the next day. My intention of writing this is to alert anyone who intend to stay in Arban Hotel to avoid 6th floor, if possible. 5. Room & toilet were spacious. 6. Laundry room @ 6th floor with 2 washers & 2 dryers. Washer @ ₩4000 for 36mins and dryer @ ₩4000 for 50mins. U can buy laundry detergent fm kiosk m/c.
