This was our first stay at South Korea. The staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel was close to the subways and bus. There was also a emart next door. The location was perfect .

This was our second time staying at this hotel. Everyone liked it the first time and so we stayed there again. We were happy to come back to a familiar place. The hotel also has a scale to weigh our luggage. This helped us sort through things before we took the nearby airport bus.

Merlin has magic in its staff
While the Merlin is not 5 star, the service is awesome, it’s an older building but what it lacks in appearance is more than compensated by the helpfulness of the manager and other staff. People who complain that it’s old should spend more of their money and go to some fancy hotel where the service can be very impersonal. The Merlin is small but the personnel have big hearts. I definitely would check in here should I visit again.

1st time in Seoul for our group. The photos on the website were not what we expected. Room was rather small and could have used some refurbishment. There was a loft, but you could not stand there… I had to crawl from the ladder to my bed. What made up for the room was the staff. Very helpful! They provided free bottled water and had a laundry service across the street for us. The hotel was close to one of the subway stations and rather convenient. Would we stay there again?…. Probably not as it was too small for us. What made it okay was the staff’s friendliness and we were only there to shower/sleep since we were out the whole 7 days we stayed there. Also, get a room on the opposite side of the street as the sun makes the room very warm (even with the A/C) on.

For me
I wanted to repair the place where I stayed for 4 nights. size, cleaning, and service are no problem. The color of the wallpaper and the place seemed very old. The toothbrush was bad, I thought I needed a big towel. the location was beautiful

The sink and washer were both broken they were way to relaxed about security. The code to my room, and many rooms was 1234. When I asked for a new key I didn’t show ID. Just gave them my room number and they printed one out. The worst part was that the pillows and mattress were incredibly uncomfortable. Can’t get past that.

객실 상태는 양호하였지만 객실 사진과 다른 곳
객실 사진과 저렴한 가격을 보고 숙박을 결정하였습니다. 그런데 객실 사진과 실제 객실이 상당히 큰 차이가 있었습니다. 그리고 커튼을 열고 싶은데 옆 주거 건물이 보여 커튼 열기가 곤란하였습니다. 그리고 혹시 몰라 치약과 치솔을 사서 가지고 갔는데 샴푸와 바디워시가 통만 있고 채워지지 않은 상태였습니다. 아무래도 오피스텔을 개조해서 운영하시는 것 같았는데 화장실 헬로우 키티 스티커는 없애는게 좋을 것 같습니다. 그래도 에어컨을 잘 나오고 객실 청소상태는 양호하였습니다.

The hotel name is no longer Chungmuro Residences but Merlin Hotel. This is already a BIG misleading for people to book the hotel. So many amenities were not available as well like washing machine, iron and a shower curtain. Bath towels will actually run out of stock.
