I came to Gyeongpodae on a trip and stopped by by chance Good value for money and the facilities were clean, so I was able to rest comfortably.
It is extremely clean. I think the secret to that cleanliness is bleach. As soon as I entered the room the smell of bleach hit me hard. The bathroom and the room still smelled strongly of bleach even with the air conditioner on. It felt like my respiratory system might get damaged. When I rinsed the bathroom with the shower it got a bit better, so maybe it wasn't rinsed properly. I turned the air conditioner on but had to turn it off because the bleach smell was too strong, and the room smell was so bad that I slept with the window open all night. Proper rinsing and good ventilation would probably make a big difference.
