We were disappointed by this hotel. The bathroom was moldy and smelled terrible. The carpet felt dirty and was old. It was a rundown place in comparison to our other hotel at similar value in the same neighborhood. I would not stay here or recommend.

It was so bad that I paid for another hotel and left after two hours at this "hotel". Run down rooms, mold everywhere, unidentified stains on the sheets... Could not pay me to stay there.

The hotel is definitely a bit run down and some of the rooms smelled like smoke despite being no smoking. But they did change my room when the smoke smell got really bad. Good location and price but don’t expect any kind of luxury.

I would happily stay here again

Hotel Biz is a great property for travelers eager to immerse themselves in Korean culture. Tucked down a green brick alley it is close to historical sites, traditional and chain restaurants, convenience stores, subway and bus lines. Some mobility notes - The elevator stops between floors so a walk up or down a flight of stairs is required to get to your room. The elevator is also on a landing up a flight of stairs above the reception area. The front entrance is up a small incline with steps over both main doors. The bathroom in my room had a high tub which could be hard for some to get in and out of and the shower was a handheld with a wall mount. I was able to leave my bags in the reception area after check out. The Airport Limousine (bus) stops about 3 blocks away. It was an easy walk to and from the hotel. The landing by the elevator has a refrigerator with affordable beverages and a free water dispenser to fill bottles or make ramen. There is also a microwave and coffeemaker. The room included full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, instant coffee, tea, an electric kettle, hair dryer and slippers. The bed was firm and comfortable. Bring earplugs. The walls are thin. I slept perfectly with mine in. This is obviously an older property but don’t let that deter you. I appreciated that the staff would help me practice my Korean. Everyone spoke English too. I had such a nice stay.

The hotel is nothing like the pictures. The room had dust all over. The walls were covered in mold. The smell was so strong I couldn’t stay there. I asked the manager to change the room and tu e only one she had was also smelly and I saw a roach there. The hotel itself seems to have had a better time before. Even the restaurant they used to have (and still keep it anounced here) has been turned into a garbage storage place! Terrible!

The hotel is close to several attractions, shopping and food sites. Only cons are that one has to walk to a closeby intersection to get a taxi, or a 5 minute walk to a metro station, and AC fies not generate enough cold air. The street it is on is not passable by cars. If you like walking, and exploring, it is central.

Normally I write good reviews, in this case I have to say this is not a 3-star hotel but a 1-star slum motel, please beware, read carefully before booking.

the location is great, close to subway Jong-ro 3ga station where you can take 1-3-5 line subway. Small problem with the cleaning lady but the counter staffs are nice. Room and facility are a bit old. Elevator is available with half floor up/down.
