Reviews for Seoul Hotels

Mondrian Seoul Itaewon
4.3/5246 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
The location is perfect, 10 minute walk from bustling itaewon town. Lots of good restaurants and food nearby. Breakfast was amazing and although it's not buffet style I really like picking out different meal each day. Gym and indoor pool are first class but I think it's a bit cheeky to pay extra to use the sauna/hot spring and altitude pool which attracted me in the first place. Rooms are clean and well maintained with lovely coffee but a bit small considering the price. The bathroom also has a slip hazard as the towel does not fit under the shower door and the shower water overflows often. The salon downstairs was amazing, I just felt that the hotel was more style than substance.
Royal Square Hotel Seoul
4.4/5296 Reviews
Gimpo Airport/ Magok
Everything was as expected. In-room washing machine is definitely a plus. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room bit small but very clean and comfortable. A little too far to walk to if it rains. Had to pay double to get a taxi to go there from the airport. Drivers were reluctant to go because it was only a short drive.
