Nine Tree Premier Rokaus Hotel Seoul Yongsan

Seoul|1.48km from National Museum of Korea
This was my first time visited Korea, and I stayed in this hotel on 31 may-5 june 2023. I was got confused on the first time I arrived because I can't find the reception and it was no staff standby to assist and directing. Apparently, the lobby area is on the 4th floor (press L in the lift). The first floor is only the bakery shop and concierge (but nobody was there when I arrived). And no any signage either. The lobby area is modern and has a good interior. All of the staffs are all well mannered, friendly and helpful, some even speak good English. The room size is not too big, but still fair. I like the bathroom with shower head. it was clean and the lighting of the room is good. But unfortunately, the main reason I chose this hotel in this area was because I want to have a room with Han River view. It was named 'Standard Han River View Double Room', so I had a huge expectation it would really provided a good view of Han River. In fact, the building was not directly face to Han River (a little bit cross 45 degree) and was blocked with other higher surrounding buildings. and most disappointing, it doesn't have a full wide window, the window was separated by a thick wall in the middle. (I forget to took a proper photo, so I screenshot from my video to my boyfriend). I asked the staff whether we could have a room with full wide window and he said that all rooms' window configuration are all same. so i feel my hussle was really in vain to intentionally move to another hotel since my previous hotel located much more strategically to my itinerary (and actually has a bigger room size and cheaper -- i consider this is more expensive because of the brand and the location). The hotel location itself is actually very convenience because it has a direct bus stop in front of, and Yongsan station is literally across the hotel. Another good point, it also has 24 hour of coin laundry in the building (cost 3,000 won for laundry and 3,000 won for dryer). u can directly buy the detergen+softener for 1,000 won in the vending machine in the laundry room. Overall besides the Han River disappointing expectation, i can say that my stay experience here was lovely. The cleanliness of room, helpful and fluent English staffs were all great.

H Hostel Itaewon
4.5/545 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.
Hause Itaewon

The place was easily accessible via train, just a short walk from Samgakji station (exit 1 or 13). It's also close to the airport bus stop that takes you directly to Incheon Airport - very convenient. It also has a nearby convenience store, and is surrounded by a lot of restaurants and cafes so you won't have to worry about where to get lunch or breakfast. Most of the guests I've met there are quite friendly and will give you tips on what to do if it's your first time in the city. They also have a kitchen in the 3rd floor so you can cook your own meals if you feel like it. We sadly didn't get a chance to see the rooftop and the upper floors because we were so tired by the time we returned. The main floor of the guesthouse is on the 2nd floor, including the reception desk, and you have to climb a steep set of stairs to get there which proved quite challenging when most of their guests are carrying huge luggages - no handrails btw, so you have to be careful. I was carrying a collective weight of 20kgs when I first arrived and had to get help from Johnny as it was impossible for me to do it myself. With its popularity among travelers comes the obvious problem of it being fully packed with people, which can get chaotic when everybody wants to use the showers at once. The place is a little small and there wasn't a lot of room to move around in once all the guests arrive and are buzzing about.
Mondrian Seoul Itaewon

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.
Itaewon Inn

Yongsan/Itaewon
Absolutely not the type of room you want to live in. Once you enter the door, there is a small space and a small toilet! First, there is only a small table, and everything must be placed on the floor The second toilet also only has a sink and there is no way to put things The third sleep has to walk through a corridor that is 3-4 meters long The fourth bed is convenient and there is no place to put things Fifth, I stayed in January 2023. There was a window smaller than my head at the head of the bed. At that time, it was snowing and the wind kept blowing in, so cold to death🥶! Sixth can't see anything out of the window! ! A little bit: Itaewon is convenient, you can stay for one night, the surrounding is safe, and there are convenience stores!
Hotel Noble Yongsan
3.3/513 Reviews
The hotel is self-service. There is no front desk and no reception staff. First of all, the first impression is very poor. It is not as good as a domestic third-rate hotel. , The room is particularly small, the only advantage is that the room is fairly clean ~ totally sorry for the price of more than 400 a night. Fortunately, it is very close to Longshan Silla Aibaoke, within five minutes walk ~ Overall disappointing
