Novaluz Tourist Hotel Reviews

advantage: [External coordinates] ●It is close to convenience stores such as CU and GS25, as well as reasonably priced restaurants, cafes, and dessert shops. ●There are bus stops and public restrooms at the door. 【Internal facilities】 ●The air conditioner is very cool and cools down quickly. ●The TV is clear and you can watch Disney, YouTube or Netflix content on demand. ●24-hour hot water not only burns quickly, but the water quality provided by the shower head is also very good, and the effect of washing hair is very good. ●There is an elevator, and it is very fast and reliable. ●There are sufficient disposable supplies. ●The space is not as small as people say, and ordinary suitcases can be spread out. ●There is a great refrigerator. ●There is a door chain on the door. 【Serve】 ●Even though check-in can only be done during certain hours (which is a common feature of Korean hostels), the front desk can be contacted 24 hours a day. The sister I met didn't speak much Chinese or English, but she communicated happily using translation software. Check-in for the first time is convenient, and extended stays confirmed through third-party software will be updated immediately without the need to re-check in. ●Excellent quality skin care product samples, brewed tea, milk powder, and mineral water will be provided every day. ●The water in the wash basin meets the drinking water standard, but I didn't try it. ●The cleaning is simple every day. Since I have been away from the hotel for a long time, I have never been disturbed and I don’t understand other people’s conditions. ●There is no odor or damp smell at all, including the toilet, even if I don’t know how to ventilate it? shortcoming: [External coordinates] ■It is quite far from the subway station Munrae/Yongdeungpo-gu Office. It takes 11-15 minutes without taking any detours. (But it’s on Line 2, so it’s very convenient to go anywhere.) ■Be careful when checking in at night. The street lights are not very bright in the alley. ■There is no shopping area within 2km, so you need to walk a long way to find a commercial place worth visiting. 【Internal facilities】 ■The gate has no access control and no security. Given that it's still on a small road, I often hear takeaways or people's friends coming and going, which may not be safe for single female guests. ■There is a drain outlet on the ceiling of the room that seems to come from the air-conditioning pipe. Water will drip under unknown circumstances, and it is right in front of where people sleep. This happened one day out of my five days and lasted maybe half an hour or so. ■The soundproofing is average, so you can't hear sounds from the street, mainly from next door and upstairs. If the water is boiled in the adjacent room, it will be very noisy. ■Unlike big hotels, there are very few plugs here, only traditional ones. The USB plugs provided are nowhere to be connected and cannot be used at all. Ordinary square adapter plugs cannot be used. Friends from Hong Kong (imperial plug) and mainland China (three holes/two pieces) should buy plugs or adapter plugs that are fully compatible with local round sockets in South Korea before departure, instead of Just buy a "Korean plug" that matches the socket at the travel store before departure. The wiring here looks very old, and I've heard that Daiso's regular plugs tend to overheat and melt in this condition, causing a fire. The price I bought locally was around HK$80. ■The position of the toilet is weird, you can't stretch your legs. It would be a problem for heavier guests. ■The bathroom also has no dry and wet separation. ■Slippers are not disposable. 【In summary】 It is more professional than a motel with management measures and enthusiastic service staff. However, it is not recommended for a single female guest to stay without knowledge of the area, even though this was the case for me. I checked in during the summer peak season at an average price of HKD 380 per day, and it was an urgent reservation. If the price fluctuates higher than this to HKD 4, 500 or higher, it is not a good deal. If it were still at this price or lower, I would be more than willing to stay again. Perhaps booking the basic room type here is the best solution for a budget trip if you have company/understand the local culture, because it has all the necessary facilities.
