Reviews for Seoul Hotels

H Hostel Itaewon
4.6/548 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
The staff at the counter were really warm! 4 ladies shared the same dormitory and 1 shower room. There is only 1 hairdryer in the room to go around, I can’t help but to feel a little conscious if I were to use the hairdryer at night it might disturb my room mates. Breakfast every morning were in the common area with white toast and eggs (you have to fry it yourself and wash dishes yourself), coffee, juice and milk are also provided with cornflakes I think that’s nice. Because Itaewon is on Line 6, going around to the more tourist areas are slightly difficult, but I loved it because there is a straight bus to Sinsa and Gangnam. Laundry room is also free and good! It takes roughly 2h~ to finish washing and drying clothes (if you use the speed wash mode). The bed was very clean and very spacious, side power plug and hook basket for your common items like phone and wallet is great! Usually I would not stay capsules or hostels for more than 1 night, but I stayed here for 3 days 2 nights, it’s one of the best hostel that I wouldn’t mind staying more than a night. Would definitely considering coming back.
Hamilton Hotel
4.1/5161 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
I had an exceptional stay at Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon, South Korea. The staff's hospitality was remarkable, and the rooms were not only comfortable but also tastefully decorated. The hotel's prime location in Itaewon made exploring the vibrant neighborhood effortless. The amenities, including the rooftop bar and fitness center, added to the overall delightful experience. I highly recommend Hamilton Hotel for a memorable and enjoyable stay in Seoul.
Cube Guesthouse

Yongsan/Itaewon
everything was pretty great with a good location for young travels that enjoy night life, or even travelers that just want a ~somewhat~ central location that's close to a lot of different places
Mondrian Seoul Itaewon
4.4/5247 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted by an incredibly gorgeous hotel. Everything is beautifully designed from the lobby to the rooms. The rooms have all the necessary amenities to make it your home away from home, including amazing Malin + Goetz toiletries. Do note that they do not provide toothbrushes or razors for sustainability reasons but I do believe you can purchase them. But best of all is the service! I arrived at the hotel around 11 am and the receptionist was kind enough to let me check-in early with no extra charge, which was much appreciated. The location is not too bad too - short walks to the nearest metro line but the weather was kind to me during the trip so definitely take note of this if it's in the frigid winter or blazing summer. Overall, had a great stay and it was truly a regret of mine to have not been able to stay much longer to enjoy the other facilities like the pool and gym. But best believe, I'll be back!
Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon
4/514 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
A new hotel in the Itaewon area, conveniently located, close to the subway station 3 minutes, and bus stops, a slight rise in front of the hotel, this should be taken into account if you find it difficult to climb the mountain, the hotel is located in the entertainment center of Seoul, so on weekends it can be noisy, but weekdays are quite calm, pleasant staff at the reception, the rooms are small, although for some reason there are no places to store clothes, instead there is a huge TV on the entire wall)), very comfortable beds, soft mattresses, orthopedic pillows and pleasant blankets, but room cleaning is in Korean style, only the bath was cleaned, towels were changed daily.
Itaewon Seongji
2.3/55 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
The facilities around the water are a little clean I think the location is good because there are izakayas nearby. There is no station in the area, so I took a taxi, but I arrived immediately by taxi.
