Hotel Kobos

Best part was the staff. Front desk was nice and helpful. If they couldn't answer something in English they called someone who could. Housekeeping was definitely great. They cleaned the room multiple times a day, kept everything well stocked. Also cleaning around our mess of clothes and random items.

Washing machine is a joke. 5000 won to use. There is only 1 washer/ dryer, it's tiny, and it takes 5 hours. It also doesn't dry clothes well at all. The "fitness center" is also a joke. It is a treadmill, stationary bike, and 6 random dumbbells stuffed in a tiny closet. However it does technically have these facilities (more than most comparable hotels) and I was also able to work out and do laundry (just not very well)

I like the location as it was close to the cherry blossoms and lots of good restaurants close to the hotel. The hotel was also unique as it has individual air conditioner which we could turn on, even though the hotel was centrally heated, we could open the screened window and get fresh air plus turn on AC to cool down the heated floors. Most staff did not speak english, but the one guy at front desk that did speak english was very helpful, too bad I did not get his name.

Our room was not cleaned by 3pm, we had to call down to front desk to have them come clean the room, and it was not finished until almost 5pm. By the next day we decided to forget having them clean our room, we got clean towels and empty the trash and that was it.
