COMOCASA residence

Pros: Located right by Chungmuro Exit 7, with a very well-stocked convenience store downstairs. Cons: The cleanliness needs significant improvement. The electronic lock was a pain to use. While the visible areas of the room were passable, the hidden ones were just… speechless. Even though it had a balcony, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned. There was a full wall of built-in storage, but when I opened the shoe cabinet by the entrance, there was a used towel from a previous guest. The pillowcases were dirty, and the sheets had many stains. While this whole experience was pretty unacceptable, at least they did change everything for us the next day.

The hotel's location between two train lines was fantastic, offering great convenience for getting around. However, as a Japanese traveler, I found the rules around waste disposal and not being able to flush toilet paper quite challenging. Since it's a residence-style accommodation, you don't get the same services as a traditional hotel, but it's a great option if you're looking for a more relaxed and independent stay.

As many reviews mentioned, there were no slippers in the room, so it was a good thing I brought my own. The shower room has a door, so there's no need to worry about the toilet getting wet. However, the water pressure was weak, which made it cold during my winter stay, but thankfully the room was warm due to the 'ondol' (underfloor heating). There was a typical Korean sewage smell, but it wasn't an issue if I kept the bathroom door closed. Both check-in and check-out were self-service, which I found convenient as it avoided face-to-face hassle. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, bar soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and facial cleanser were provided, and there was water in the fridge. There's a 24-hour convenience store on the first floor. Taking out my own trash wasn't a problem at all, and I would definitely want to stay here again if I were staying for 3 nights or more.

It's great that it's a residence, so I could cook. However, the water pressure was too weak, which made showering difficult. Everything else was good, though! The accessibility is great, and there's a convenience store on the first floor.
