You'll run into confirmed problems with accuracy and maintenance. 23 of 68 low reviews mention the space being smaller or different than described, and 13 mention broken appliances like washing machines and ventilation fans. Both issues appear in five-star reviews too, making them patterns, not outliers.
What the stars hide
The listing shows a queen bed and single bed in one bedroom, but guests find the room too cramped to open luggage or move around comfortably with two or three people. Some say the photos don't capture how tight the layout is.
Washing machines malfunction with drainage issues, ventilation fans stop working and cause odors, and some guests report the issue was known to staff before check-in. Repairs sometimes happen fast but the problems recur.
Construction noise, street traffic, and noise from other guests penetrate the room. The building lacks soundproofing despite being marketed as quiet.
The address doesn't map directly in navigation apps and there are two WECO STAY locations in the area. Guests have gone to the wrong building. The check-in code requires logging into the app rather than being sent in advance.
At 800+ KRW per night, guests feel they're paying for a central location but getting a tiny self-service unit with no daily cleaning. The space-to-cost ratio frustrates repeat visitors.
Listing language, decoded
Accuracy and maintenance complaints remain consistent in recent months, with four cost complaints in the last eight low reviews.
The host replies quickly to problems but has not prevented the same appliance issues from happening to multiple guests. One reply apologizes sincerely for the washing machine drainage issue.
