My stay at Nakwon Arcade Sky Motel was quite disappointing, primarily due to the outdated and poorly maintained accommodations. While the location near Line 5 is a plus, the overall condition of the room left much to be desired. I feel I could have found a better deal elsewhere for a more pleasant experience.

The room was incredibly outdated, resembling something from the 80s. There were old wallpapers, a cracked bathtub, bugs on the bed, and dust everywhere. It felt dirty and neglected, with a mattress cover full of hairs and no bed sheets. This was far from a comfortable setting.

Service

The check-in process was lackluster, as the receptionist didn't ask for an ID or seem to pay attention to us. It made me feel like there weren't adequate security measures in place.

The motel's location is convenient, being close to Line 5, and there's a cute walking street just around the corner, which was one of the few highlights of my stay.

I had a mixed experience at Nakwon Arcade Sky Motel. The room was surprisingly spacious and looked better in person than in the photos, but it did feel a bit outdated and not entirely clean. The location was fantastic, with a charming walking street nearby, which I loved! Overall, it was a decent deal for one night, but the lack of amenities and cleanliness might make me think twice about staying longer.

I recently stayed at Nakwon Arcade Sky Motel and, to be honest, it was pretty disappointing. While the location was prime, being near the subway and lots of street food, the room was stuck in the past with old decor and cleanliness issues. Honestly, the price seemed way too high for what I got.

Check-in was lackluster; the receptionist didn’t even ask for an ID. That gave me a weird vibe about security which I didn’t appreciate. Honestly, when I entered, it felt like no one really cared.

The location is definitely a plus; it's close to Line 5 and within walking distance of places like Gwangjang Market and Insadong. Plenty of street food options too, which was great for quick bites.

There’s not really any on-site dining to speak of, just some pre-packaged stuff available nearby. I had to venture out for a proper meal.

The facilities were basic, and while they provided towels, I had to ask for sheets. The overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired, so if you're planning to stay for a while, it might not be the best choice.

I had a mixed stay at Nakwon Arcade Sky Motel. While the location was a huge plus, with major tourist spots like Gwangjang Market and Insadong within walking distance, the room left quite a bit to be desired. It felt outdated and not as clean as I would have hoped. Overall, I appreciated the good price, but I think it reflects the overall quality. 😅
