Boutique Hotel SB Seoul in Seoul

It’s terrible dirty room! Ist very poor lights on the ceiling, black mold n the bathroom.

No service: when I said about garbage under my bed, it’s did not make an effect , before I start crying. after the cleaning the garbage stay here.  

Filthy and rundown, it's incredibly old. The bedsheets and duvet covers seemed unwashed, had an odor, and there were moldy and rusty items everywhere. No toothbrushes or slippers were provided, and it's clear nothing is cleaned, making it easy to catch something.

The room was full of previous guests’ hair, so no cleaning whatsoever. Further the room smelled of tobacco.

I’ll never stay here again. I wouldn’t have stayed in the first place if they’d honoured my request and refunded me. I know pictures always look better than real life but what I found was worse than old, worn furniture or the odd bit of dirt.

I’ll start with the good points -
1. Rooms are a good size
2. There is a free coffee machine in reception
3. Located close to buses and metro stations

Now for the bad -
1. Unacceptably dirty. There are questionable stains on every wall and I daren’t imagine what has caused them. The tiled next to the bathroom are covered in what I can only hope is just grime.
2. Behind the bedside table mustn’t have been cleaned or vacuumed in years. I get dust isn’t a huge deal but coupled with dirty tweezers and packets of condoms, it leaves me to think what the cleaners are actually doing.
3. The blinds on the window do not open. Not a huge deal but an easy fix. One I’ve seen mentioned a few times in reviews for this place.
4. Cigarette burns in the bathtub - I use the shower anyway but it’s not a good look.
5. Holes in the towels.
6. The seals of the bathroom door is covered in a sticky, rust-like gunk.

What’s annoying is all of the above can be fixed, pretty easily. I’ve seen replies from the hotel on various platforms thanking people for the review and promising to address their complaints. This is clearly b*llshit.

Avoid. And if you are considering staying here, check the price, then half it because that’s all it’s worth.

Ps. The people saying this is ‘luxury’ must live in squalor at home. Or have stayed in some truly horrible places.
