### Sophia Guesthouse

"First off, good luck getting a taxi that can actually find this place. The taxi dropped me off and then I spent an hour trying to locate the place on foot. It ended up being a 25 minute walk to the other side of town with all my luggage in tow on a hot and sunny day which was very unpleasant. Once I arrived, check in was easy. The accommodation was very basic which I didn’t mind because I only needed a place to sleep for one night. The shower leaked water all over the sleeping area even though...

### Dongdaemun Tourist Hotel

"I visited this hotel two months ago, but I came back. Last time, it was a bit chaotic because it was newly opened, but now it's a stable atmosphere? A staff member who was still friendly welcomed me. Having a staff member who can speak Japanese is a great advantage. They also ran a free breakfast. I didn't eat and just looked around, but it looked delicious. Coffee is free, too. Washing machines and dryers are also free if you just buy detergent. I feel this every time, but Dongdaemun at night...
