Hotels near Odusan Unification Observatory, Paju-si

This was one of the best budget hotels I stayed in. Very clean and smelled good. The room was simple with a huge bathroom but the furniture was quite tasteful. The appliances, hairdryer, hair iron are of good quality. TV was huge. Bed was nice and firm. Staff was friendly and accommodating of request. Location is less than 3 mins away from a major bus stop. Couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough. Will definitely book this first again when in the area.

The front desk staff generally speak English, making both check-in and check-out quick and efficient. Downstairs, there's a convenience store where you can pay with WeChat, which is super handy. There's also a BBQ restaurant, and plenty of other restaurants and shopping malls nearby. The room was a duplex with a small balcony that had a table and chairs, offering a decent view. It's a shame I was on a business trip and didn't have much time to explore. At just under 400, the price for a 300+ room wasn't too bad.

The room was decent, with enough space, and the location was good with plenty of dining options nearby. The overall environment was also fine. However, the indoor lighting wasn't great, and the air conditioning was noisy. The breakfast selection was quite varied, but they only served boiled eggs once during our five-day stay. The service attitude was mediocre and inflexible. We were there for an exhibition, and the shuttle bus schedule to the exhibition hall was not only inconvenient but also often unavailable without prior reservation. If you didn't book in advance, you couldn't take it. On one occasion, we had to take a taxi to the exhibition because the departure time was unsuitable, but then they wouldn't let us take the shuttle back. Compared to domestic hotels like Hanting, the service here isn't even half as good. They only provided two bottles of water in the room. We were even reminded to return our utensils before we'd finished breakfast. The air conditioning in the breakfast area and at the front desk was excessively strong. They also claimed we couldn't use Uber, even though we had no issues using it for our transportation.

It was close to Yadang Station, and above all, the view was great. Aside from the slight inconvenience of not having disposable slippers, the body wash smelled nice, and the room was more spacious than the photos, so I was able to rest comfortably.

Despite being located in a bustling area, the room was incredibly well soundproofed, keeping all outside noise out. I was able to enjoy a wonderfully peaceful and deep rest.

It is about 1km from Bunsan (Munsan) station, but the location is difficult to understand. The room has a double bed, so it's enough for two people. The site explanation is 22:00 check-in, but it is actually 15:00 check-in. There is no front desk, and when you open the door of the receptionist room, the key is placed, so you can choose your favorite room depending on the arrival time. It is convenient because there are seven eleven, supermarkets and restaurants nearby.

THE SHOWER HOLDER WAS LOOSE AND PUT WATER ONTO FLOOR AND I SLIPPED BADLY ENTERING BATHROOM, BUT LUCKY TO REGAIN BALANCE. THE MAIN BLANKEY NEEDS WASHING AS IT SMELLED OF CIGARETTES. THE BENCH WAS STAINED WITH CIGARETTE BURNS. I THINK THEY SHOULD JUST BAN SMOKING ENTIRELY IN THE HOTEL. BUT THE PLACE WAS NICE AND ITS EORTH STAYING HERE. I WOULD AGAIN.

Hotel Name: Hotel Yam Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Review: I recently stayed at Hotel Yam in Paju Geumcheon and had a pleasant experience overall. The hotel offers great value for the price, especially considering its modern amenities and convenient location. The check-in process was smooth and the staff were welcoming and polite. My room was spacious and clean, with all the essentials provided, including a comfortable bed, a small fridge, and free Wi-Fi. The decor was sleek, though a bit minimal, but it felt cozy and perfect for a short stay. The hotel is located in a quiet area, making it ideal for those who want a peaceful environment away from the hustle of central Seoul. There are several restaurants and cafes nearby, and it's easy to get around with public transport. The only downside was the noise from neighboring rooms, which could be heard at times, but it wasn't a major issue. Pros: Clean and modern rooms Friendly and professional staff Quiet location with nearby dining options Cons: Noise from neighboring rooms Limited facilities (no gym or pool) Overall, I would recommend Hotel Yam for those looking for a comfortable, no-frills stay in Paju Geumcheon. Would definitely consider staying here again!

There are good facilities. I recommend it for people with a small budget. Near various shopping malls in the market
