Astar Hotel

Clean and tidy, with attentive service. They offer room service and have convenient transportation access.

The room was very spacious and comfortable. The decor was also nice. We were assigned a room on the 10th and top floor. You can order takeout to eat in the room, but you'll need to contact the front desk to help dispose of the food waste, which they were friendly enough to assist with. I tried calling the front desk once, but they only spoke Korean. However, going downstairs and using a translation app face-to-face solved the problem.

Service: Arrived at 12 AM Korea time, and the front desk gentleman spoke excellent Chinese, which made communication very easy. The hotel hallway was wide and smelled lovely. Even though it was fully booked, it was very quiet for sleeping, so the soundproofing seems good. Cleanliness: Housekeeping cleaned daily. There were no disposable toothbrushes, so you'll need to bring your own. The leather slippers weren't disposable either, so I'd recommend bringing your own slippers. Facilities: There's a kettle and a mini-fridge, with mineral water replenished daily. There are two Chinese-style power outlets, but the bedside outlets are Korean, so it's more convenient to bring your own adapter if you need one. Surroundings: The CU downstairs is open from 6:30 AM to 11 PM, but there's a 24-hour CU just 150 meters away. There are also 24-hour pollock soup and pork bone soup restaurants nearby. Compose Coffee is across the street. Overall, it's great, the streets are quiet, and it's easy to catch a taxi.

The hotel is great, clean, with warm service, and a convenient location.

I gave the facilities one star, and that one star is specifically for the hairdryer 🤣. I'd estimate that hairdryer cost about 20 CNY. Everything else was pretty standard.

I stayed during cherry blossom season, and it was super convenient to walk to Jeonnong-ro. If you're heading to the duty-free shop in the new city, it's just a five-minute walk to the bus stop. The road in front of the hotel wasn't congested either, making public transport and taxis easily accessible. Everything was great, except for getting to the old city beach area, which was a bit inconvenient (we opted for a taxi).

The service here exceeded my expectations. Every morning, I asked the front desk to help me call a taxi. The hotel breakfast was very rich and satisfying. Even staying for several days, the hotel was still very attentive to keeping the room clean.

The room was spacious and clean, with two beds. It was a great experience for a family of three. The hotel's breakfast was also quite good. The location wasn't too noisy either.
