Romantic Hotels in Seoul

"I've stayed here twice already, and every time I visit Korea, I want to stay here. The location is super convenient, with the airport bus taking you directly to the hotel, and plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. It's just so convenient! The front desk staff are also very enthusiastic, and the room is spacious enough, making for a comfortable stay. The only downside is that the cleanliness isn't up to par. There were hairs on the floor and sticky residue by the bed, which I ended up cleaning myself. The disposable cups also showed signs of being used, so I guess the previous guest used them and put them back, and the cleaning staff didn't check or replace them. I hope they can improve their hygiene. Other than the cleanliness, everything else is great."

"Out of the three hotels I stayed at during my trip to Seoul and Busan, this one was by far the most spacious for three people. The room was significantly larger than the other two, impeccably clean with no strange odors, and even had a dedicated area for luggage, so we could open all three suitcases without feeling cramped. The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from both Line 2 and Line 5 subway stations. It's also not too far to walk to Line 4, Myeongdong (great for shopping!), and Lotte Duty-Free, maybe about 10-15 minutes. From our window, we had a fantastic view of N Seoul Tower and could even spot the G2 Hotel where we'd stayed previously. There's a GS25 convenience store on the first floor of the hotel, which was handy for snacks, drinks, and instant noodles. Our floor also had a public dining area and even a garment steamer! Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay 🏨. On the walk to Line 2, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops. There's one coffee shop on the corner across the street that serves excellent coffee and has pastries that looked much more appetizing than the trendy Japanese bakery 'Aso**something' behind the hotel. Definitely recommend checking it out!"

"## Location: Perfect Score Right across from Lotte Duty-Free and less than a 5-minute walk to Shinsegae Duty-Free, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. Its location is comparable to the Aloft nearby but significantly better than Voco (which requires a bit of a detour). If you're here for serious shopping, this location will definitely save you time and effort. ## Room & Facilities The room size is similar to Aloft's – both are on the 'compact' side. It's a bit smaller than Voco, so if you have a lot of luggage, you might want to reconsider. The hotel is located within a mixed-use building, so you'll need to go to the 9th-floor lobby for check-in. Waiting for elevators during peak hours can be a bit of a pain. There are free luggage lockers on the 9th floor lobby, which are very convenient to use. ## Service & Details The service was adequate, neither exceptionally good nor bad. However, there's a noticeable drawback: my Trip.com reservation explicitly requested a 'high floor,' but I was given the 11th floor (guest rooms are on floors 10-18). This compromised both the view and the quietness. I recommend calling ahead to confirm or actively requesting a higher floor upon arrival. The central air conditioning noise from the adjacent building runs 24/7, which somewhat affected my sleep. ## Alternatives Next door is Ibis. If you're not sensitive to floor level or room size, you could compare prices for the same location and pick whichever is cheaper. ## Summary: If you're looking for ultimate convenience and don't mind a smaller room or the occasional elevator wait, this place is worth considering. However, if a great view, spacious rooms, or a high-floor experience are important to you, I suggest lowering your expectations or looking elsewhere."

"Generally a good experience especially for its location in Myeongdong, which is convenient to go anywhere around the city area of Seoul. The space is good to accomodate a family of 4 but the toilet space is quite limited, given the space being occupied by the spa and the dining area. Nevertheless, the customer service is responsive and friendly and would recommend to everyone who likes to experience !"

"Facilities: The room was very clean and tidy, and the city view outside the window had a unique Korean charm ✨. I really enjoyed watching the railway below, with subways passing by and lovely yellow flowers – it was so beautiful ✨ (some reviews mentioned noise, and there is a bit, but the beautiful view makes it worth it 🤭; personally, it didn't affect my sleep). There's a CU convenience store right downstairs, where I bought some really cute fridge magnet souvenirs. It was also a great option for a late-night snack every day 😋. Plus, there's a Haidilao hotpot restaurant on the hotel's mezzanine level 🤣, perfect if you're not a fan of Korean food. Downstairs, there's also a bus stop with direct buses to Incheon Airport. Across the street from the hotel, you'll find 인생네컷 (Life Four Cuts photo booth), Olive Young, Mega Coffee, and a jewelry store with walls full of earrings, among others. Just across the road from the hotel entrance is a food street; every place looked so delicious as I walked by 😭. Unfortunately, I was traveling alone this time, and with most places serving BBQ and potato and pork bone soup, I didn't get to try them. Located in Yeouido, it's very convenient to get to Hangang Park and Hongdae. Other attractions aren't far by taxi either. The front desk lady even proactively helped me call a taxi, which I really appreciated!"

"The aparthotel is strategically next to Chumurong station and it is also linked underground. If you take the airport limousine bus from Incheon Intnl Airport. Alight at Hanok Village bus stop and cross the road. So conveniently located. We can literally see the Hanok Village compound and the Nansan tower from our room. Room is clean and beds are comfy for 3 paxs. However during our 1st night in summer vacation in Seoul, the room felt stuffy as the aircon is not cold enough even when the temperature is set to 19°c. The hotel receptionist offered us a standing fan to keep us cool for the night. On our 2nd night, the kitchenette ceiling light could not switch off despite numerous tries to turned it off. We were left to sleep with a bright light shining on us. Next morning, a team of ladies and an electrician came to fixed the lighting. The hotel team were quick to rectified issues despite the language barriers. Overall, stayed is good and memorable."

"On one of the nights during our stay, the fire alarm went off at 3 AM. We sat on the curb across the street, shivering in the cold for half an hour before the fire truck arrived. During that entire half hour, no staff member came out to explain the situation. Staff from Hotel Skypark II across the street did come out to check, and after the fire trucks arrived, we also saw Skypark staff communicating with the firefighters. About an hour later, other guests started returning to their rooms, and we followed suit. Even at that point, no staff from this hotel had appeared. On our way back to the room, we noticed a large amount of clutter in the stairwell (see photo) — a hazard in itself.  A few minutes after we got back to our room, the fire alarm suddenly went off again, but just for a few seconds, which startled us so much that we immediately went down to the front desk on the 3/F. At that time, there were two foreign female sitting in the common area. We thought they were just guests and chatted with them for a bit, only to find out during the conversation that they were actually staff members here. According to them, they were something like international students or exchange students working here— not trained professionals you would expect to handle an emergency. We also figured out during the conversation that they had actually been standing outside with the guests the whole time while we were all waiting for the fire trucks to arrive — yet even then, neither of them had come forward to say anything or offer any reassurance. We guessed that they were probably working here in exchange for a place to stay, which would explain why no one seemed to be properly in charge when things went wrong. Putting this incident aside, this hostel is actually quite good.  The three of us stayed in a family twin room. We were able to open two large suitcases in the entrance hallway, and there was plenty of space at the foot of the beds and underneath them to temporarily store things we had just bought. The double bed was more than spacious enough for two people, and there was also lots of room on the shelf behind our bed to place personal items. The only minor complaint is that a smell occasionally came from the ventilation system on the bathroom ceiling. Also, there is no shower stall/ bathtub (see photo), so when you shower, the entire floor and toilet bowl gets wet, and there is no place to hang clothes to change into after showering. The room was pretty clean. The common area has a vacuum cleaner, a washer-dryer, and a luggage scale. There is also a microwave, an oven, and a stovetop available for use. For breakfast, bread, eggs, cereal, milk, and Indomie instant noodles are provided for you to cook yourself.   The hotel's location is very convenient — it's right across from Hotel Skypark II. It's a short walk to Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station and Myeongdong, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, as well as a convenience store right across the street. If it weren't for this incident, I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel."

"The room was super new and apartment-style, with a fantastic breakfast spread. Most importantly, the location is unbeatable, right in Myeongdong. Step outside and you're surrounded by major department stores, supermarkets, and countless restaurants. Getting around is incredibly convenient and just excellent!"
