Pros: My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The location was close to the subway station and other tourist destinations. The owner is very considerate, thoughtful, and honest. We forgot something very valuable at the hotel the day we checked out. Thankfully, he messaged us through booking.com as soon as it was found and returned it to us. We really felt at home during our stay here. He taught us how to use the subway station and assisted us a lot. The hotel and rooms itself may not be big but you could tell in an instant that this place was built with so much passion and love that not every hotel could give. This place is highly recommended for people who are looking for a 100% Korean service experience. Looking forward to staying here again when we return.

Pros: this hotel has the clean bed and comfortable mattress. I booked (total 7 days) the room with a bathtub and the tub was large enough to fit my body length head to toe. Although i'm only 5feet tall i think the tub was large enough for a 6 foot tall person too. The room was vey nice ( i stayed room#1601) and had no street noise. I also stayed at the room #507. it was closer to the street. it was very noisy when i open the window but i like my air conditioner 24/7 so i did't need open the window. It was really quiet if you close the window. i think they have good soundproofing window. i really liked the hotel. Everything was automatic, even the toilet flushing. The cleaning service was good too. I went out for lunch &shopping came back , my room was cleaned and organized. I do not want someone to touch my stuffs so i normally request not to do the cleaning service on my room but I forgot to request on the first day so the cleaning crew came in and cleaned my room which I was ok after that. it was very good. pleasant experience for me.

Pros: The room was nice. It had a good sized TV, a full sized bath and all the usual bits you'd expect from a hotel....
Cons: ....except for towels. We had booked a room with a double bed, implying two people. The room itself had two mugs, two pairs of slippers, etc. but only one towel. When we asked for an extra towel when we got back from an evening visiting the city, the night desk person was quite rude and refused, saying we didn't need it as we had three small towels. Next morning we requested an extra towel from the front desk 'no problem' was the response. We get back again late, did we get an extra towel? nope. They even replaced the towels used but didn't make the bed. Very strange attitude for the hotel to have overall. Won't be staying again.

Cons: Bathroom especially the sink is not well-cleaned & very inconvenient in shower room as no hanging hooks available to hang towels/ clothes. Floor was very dirty even though walking barefoot on it for 2 days (we have to remove shoes before going in). Bed mattresses were found slanted to one side. The only remote control used to control room lighting & TV was so dusty & dirty I have to wipe it before using. Male staff could not speak much English when check-in & upon check-in, he showed me a hotel T&C notice which was written ONLY in Mandarin, not in English & when I told him I can't read Mandarin, he rudely told me no English version available & instructed a Chinese security guard to explain to me.

Cons: - on our first day, we had kept the welcoming sheet in our room, the manager probably needed it for the following guest to check-in so he came to grab it our room while we were outside, but he forgot to lock our room after! Fortunately nothing was missing, but still I wasn’t happy at all to find the door open... - it’s not really clean and there was a strong smell from the bathroom - noise insulation is terrible, and the front door opens with a digit lock, so one hear “bip bip bip bip” each time that someone is coming back at night (unfortunately for us it happened every night on our 4-night stay) - sometimes breakfast is not refilled as it is out of stock, so one morning we didn’t have jam, another one was no cereals

Pros: The hotel is a two minute walk going straight from exit 4 on the Sinseoldong subway exit. The staff was helpful and spoke English fluently. There is a 3pm check in that was enforced during my stay due to a booked hotel. The staff "upgraded" my room due to this.. The upgraded room was spacious with two love seats, a desk and a bed. In the room you have control of the air conditioner but it is a single unit installed in the ceiling. Which is very different from what most hotels in America have, a major ac unit with multiple vents. I think this one unit air conditioner is typical in Korea. Liked the western style bathroom even though I didn't fit the tub. The bed was very plush with a sink in effect, which was nice since the other two hotels in Korea had hard beds with light sheets. Very clean and the cleaning lady was very attentive!

Pros: very good location, Airport bus directly to the hotel, only take 2 min walk to the underground train station, convenient store, coffee shops, restaurants are nearby
Cons: need renovations, a bit old
9.7 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is a two minute walk going straight from exit 4 on the Sinseoldong subway exit. The staff was helpful and spoke English fluently. There is a 3pm check in that was enforced during my stay due to a booked hotel. The staff "upgraded" my room due to this.. The upgraded room was spacious with two love seats, a desk and a bed. In the room you have control of the air conditioner but it is a single unit installed in the ceiling. Which is very different from what most hotels in America have, a major ac unit with multiple vents. I think this one unit air conditioner is typical in Korea. Liked the western style bathroom even though I didn't fit the tub. The bed was very plush with a sink in effect, which was nice since the other two hotels in Korea had hard beds with light sheets. Very clean and the cleaning lady was very attentive!
Cons: I really did not have much of a compliant about the encore hotel. There was a breakfast buffet which had satisfactory food, little flavor for the price. Also note that a hour to ending the buffet food is not replaced, just gone. But this i believe is cultural too I noticed in Paris baguette, dunkin donuts and other restaurants that they made only a limited quantity for the day.

2.5 Mediocre
Pros: Bed and pillow.
Cons: Staff at the frontdesk were very rude, as I asked about the bus stop for airport bus, a front staff said and pointed to go out and over there. I went out and so confused finding it for 5 min... where... where the bus stop. So I came to the front desk and ask where exactly it is, because hardly see one. He ignored and tapped on the girl to tell. So what.... it was more than 10 minutes walk from the hotel and you need to cross 4-5 little roads before reaching the bus stop. PLEASE TRAIN HOW TO BECOME A PROPER PERSONS WORKING AS FRONTDESK STAFFS. Lots of things missing when you check in, no coffee or tea, no soaps. The room's too dim. Lights couldn't be left on by the mirror, you have to use mirror in the bathroom, but sometimes you could get ready while your friend having a bath. But no... you could not as you wait to use the mirror in the bathroom. Life's too slow for some reasons. I visit Korea a few times, and this time was the most dissapointed booking.

3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing I like about this hotel
Cons: The receptionist is not friendly and doesn't enthusiastically answer people's questions. A smile just like being forced. I can know the nature of people from their faces. Also the room is very small even though it’s a suite room. I am very disappointed to have chosen this hotel based solely on the reviews.

We only have one each pillow, hope there's extra next time.

Cons: It would be great if the staff works more on their English skills. Only two of the boys could speak good English, so when they weren't on duty, I struggled a lot with explaining what I needed to others. In my opinion, for a good hotel what Golden City is, English is a necessity.

The aircon didn't work properly and when we asked about it the worker just said that it's hot because of the hot weather (this is why you use an aircon but ours didn't work) they didn't want to move us to another room and said that the other rooms are the same (hot). The bed was very squeaky and uncomfortable.

Cons: The pictures shown here is edited, once you go there its definitely different. The building is kinda creepy a bit, no lit very well so it's always quite dark inside the place. No proper pantry & place to sit. Also no cutlery/plate/bowl you can borrowed & used. I've stayed for few nights & I never know what breakfast they provide. Plus we never met any other guest during our stay. No housekeeping done throughout my stay, and they never took out our rubbish. Plus the dustbin also is very small & no extra trash bag is provided. The bathroom door is made of glass & in middle part of it is see through. Its very unpleasant & uncomfortable when you want to used it as the people outside can see what's happening on the inside. Plus the space for the bathroom is TOO BIG, they should do so renovation & reduce the size of it so that the actual room size can be increased. Btw, although the building is near the bustop, if you want to take airport bus from there. You still need to walk few block & waited on another bustop area.
