Songjeong The Coolest Hotel

Very clean hotel. Very helpful staff. There are many restaurants close to the hotel. Convenient store just in front and beside the hotel. Very well located, just in front of the tourist train station. Nice view to the beach from the balcony.

예쁜호텔이었습니다. 다만 욕실바닥 청소가 더 깨끗했으면 좋았겠습니다.

The Coolest Hotel… it may have been the coolest in the past but seems to be past its prime. We stayed in one of the king suites which had an excellent view, nice bathrooms and very clean, however the air conditioning stopped working on day 3 of 5 and there was this lingering sewage smell for a few days. We stayed in October so it was not too hot, we simply opened the balcony doors and windows to get some airflow and it was cool enough at night. The sewage smell seemed to be coming from the extremely large sink drain so we just ran hot water for a little while and it went away. The rooftop pool, extraordinary view, and massive fitness area in the basement are certainly the main selling point here, otherwise the “Coolest” hotel is not worth the price. The staff were all very nice, but in general the hotel seemed to be understaffed. Breakfast was OK not great and not worth the price compared to other options in the area. The dryer in the basement does not dry well. We checked out with wet clothes. Unless you need a gym and/ or rooftop pool, I’d look elsewhere. 3/5

Ocean view and balcony were amazing—listened to the waves every night. Room was clean and adequate. Safe and quiet.

Upon arrival to the hotel we were met with a nice gentleman at reception. He seemed to be the only staff in the whole hotel. We were early for check in therefore asked if we were able to have early check in and potentially use the pool while we wait for our room to become available. He advised that this was possible and he was giving this to us for free. We did however had to wait for 1 hour and come back to reception for the room key. In the meantime we were able to use the rooftop pool. When we returned to reception as advised, the man previously there had left and a new reception person was there. This person stated that our room would not be ready and therefore had to just wait until usual check in time. Once we were finally arrived into our room. The room initially appears tidy. However floor was still wet, sticky, sandy and smelt of damp. Bathroom was not cleaned, just tidied with used shampoo and soap packets left. There were no bathroom supplies such as shampoo/conditioner. We had to head to the nearest 7/11. We were left disappointed with the room and overall hotel experience. The room was not well maintained with hooks not properly fixed to the wall. Bathroom water flooding into the room, and no towel hooks inside the bathroom. There were also no other services as advertised. No hotel bar, No restaurant, No hot breakfast, No room service, No reception staff out of hours. The rooftop pool feels neglected with lack of maintenance. No food or drink allowed
