Tiffany Tourist Hotel Seoul
Tiffany Tourist is a no-frills hotel. It is just a basic accommodation intended to those travellers who are on a budget.
Unlike other popular high rated hotels in Seoul, Tiffany has no direct limousine drop-off from the airport. In able to get there, you need to ride a bus going to Hotel Riviera then take a walk across the street to the right.
One of the good things about this hotel is its proximity to a subway station which is your gateway to various tourist destinations. It is only several minutes walk to Cheongdam station.
Facilities are limited. Restaurant is on the first level same as the reception. Beside the reception is a business center with 2 old desktop computers which are free to use. Wireless internet access was advertised but there was no connection in my room on the 7th floor during my stay.
Hotel staffs are nice and attentive. Communication was greatly understood since the reception knew conversational English.
The room is surprisingly big, with cable television and a personal refrigerator. The first thing I noticed was the condition of the room, it was not serviced well though a bit clean. Dusts and hair particles are seen on the corners of the floor, table and some on the bed. The bed sheet and pillows however smelled fresh and looked clean.
What I was a bit concerned about was the security of the room, not on the inside but from the outside. The door seemed to be an ordinary door with an ordinary door knob, one hard hit or kick might force open the room. On the inside there is chain guard and you would not be conscious about your things if you are present in the room, but if you are outside the room, it is a different story. Just to be cautious, use the safety deposit box in the front desk for your important belongings and all will be fine.
In a small space goes the shower, lavatory and water closet. The shower has no separate partition so expect that the whole bathroom will get wet once you finish bathing. Nothing special.
The place served its purpose adequately considering its price.
