Ciel Mini Hotel

Room was clean, bathroom was a decent size which was a nice surprise. The tourist locations are around a 25min walk from here, though not much around the actual hotel. There wasn’t any help provided on check in. Desk was mostly unmanned which wasn’t ideal, we were lucky to find her to check in. Towels were not provided which made showering interesting. The TV was frozen on a blurred login page to an adult channel and you could not navigate away.

The property is not in the town centre. It is tucked away behind a market in a small street so it could be difficult to find. The building inside is very clean though. Room are basic with individual air conditioner. Beds are small and a bit hard with is expected. Some rooms have futons. Bathroom is clean. We arrived early and nobody at front desk. Have to call the hotel lady was on 1/F but she came down and told us check in at 4pm. We asked to store our luggage and she took us to our room so we can check in early which is vey nice. Other than that we don't see anybody for the whole stay which is fine. We leave the keys on the front desk while check out. There is a communal dining area with water machine and two computers. We did not use the facilities so doesn't know what else is available. If you are going to Bulguksa and Seokguram the bus stop is just across on the Main Street but the bus will be full when it gets there. Overall it is a good experience.

No staff to check in, had to let a local call the provided number since we had no phone service on our SIM. No one to check out, but we just left our keys in hte hallway. Rooms were clean and good, but curtains were not the blackout type.
