Shin Shin Hotel

We had a big room for our family. The mattresses were hard, which we like very much. There is a rich and good breakfast buffet in Korean style. There's enough space if you get there in time. The location is central and close to the metro lines.

There were sticky spots of drinks/glasses on the cupboards. Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of mould and it took some time until the smell was gone from our clothes.

Location was great. Close to transport, restaurants, malls, banks. Reception crew was very accommodating.

1. There were 4 of us in the room but there were only 2 towels. The first night, it's acceptable that we had to ask for 2 additional towels. But the 2nd and 3rd nights, they should have already taken note that there are 4 guests so we needed 4 towels. Every night we had to call. It was a bit annoying. 2. Because there is a meatshop on the ground floor, the common areas smelled like a meat shop. 3. The breakfast was ok, but there was no variety and eating the same breakfast for 3 days is not ideal.

The room was spacious, comfy bed, great bathroom, amazing location.

The hot water takes ages to heat up for a shower, the staff weren’t giving basic customer service. Understandable language is a barrier, but we actively tried to say hello and thank you in Korean and we rarely even got a hello, even when we checked out, not even a thank you or ‘how was your stay?’, just simply ‘ok’. It also seemed like an effort to give us tips and help with directions etc. Other than that, very good stay for the positives.
