I've found this hotel fine. The room was comfortable. The hotel staff like you to pay in (1) euros (2) US dollars (3) Chinese RMB. I was glad I had enough cash as they weren't going to take my Mastercard credit card. more

Stayed a few times at the Koryo. Not a luxury hotel to us but the North Koreans think so. There are about three channels on TV, the guards wouldn't let me go off the premises, and very few if any spoke English. Fascinating from the hotel wondow but that's about it.
