When someone is talking about a six stars hotel, this makes me imagine the most luxurious resort, with glamorous rooms, lavish restaurants, and gigantic indoor pools.

But I forgot to mention that this particular hotel is in North Korea. Apparently ‘six stars’ does not have the same significance in the democratic republic and their idea about a ‘first class establishment’ clearly, does not match our fantasies.

On the American travel website TripAdvisor, the Ryanggang Hotel established in the heart of Pyongyang received some ‘mixed’ reviews. While tourists all around the world compared the hotel to a prison, locals believe Ryanggang is a very luxurious location.

‘The beds are so hard I think the floor was more comfortable… I flushed the toilet and my feet got a wash.’, wrote Simon Ryder, who stayed at the Ryanggang  Hotel in May 2012.

The hotel received more than 31 big thumbs down on TripAdvisor and the images with the accommodation shocked netizens from all around the world, many of them believing the post was an actual joke.

Until Kim Jong-Un’s ‘most prized possession’ will be finished, Ryanggang Hotel remains the most glamorous location in the North Korean capital. The project for the 1,082ft-high building was initiated 29 years ago.

So far, the construction of the pyramid-like glass and steel skyscraper cost more than $750 million dollars.

The project began in 1987, during Kim II-Sung’s supremacy, who planned to open the hotel in 1989. ‘Esquire’ magazine described the tower as the ‘worst building in the history of mankind’.
