Boutique Hotel K Oido

Hotel K is described on Hotels.com as "no-frills". This is accurate as are the photos. This is a great place to stay for those on business or similar. The area is not my favorite (lots of bars, a little run-down), but I got used to it quickly. The staff are very kind and professional, giving a great first impression. I stayed in two different rooms over the course of two weeks and was happy to find them clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the lingering smell of cigarette smoke in my first room. The managers took note of my check-in experience through the website and kindly moved me to a better room when I returned for my second visit. The rooms have a nice computer, TV, and air-conditioner, which all work well. The cleaning staff tidy the room nicely each day, replacing all towels and toiletries. They refill the mini-fridge with drinks (more in the lobby). I've stayed in a Standard Double Room and a Suite. Both are good but similar. The suite has more space, a better layout, and a nicer bathroom with a large bathtub. I think the appliances (TV, A/C, etc.) may be in a better condition as well. So, spend the extra money for a little more comfort but don't expect anything fancy. I'm back next week for another stay and am looking forward to it. FYI: Public transportation in this city (Siheung) is a little slow, so you may have to rely on taxis (apps might be best) if you're in a hurry.
