Reviews for Seoul Hotels

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.
Hotel WO Yongsan Station
3.3/510 Reviews
It's a motel. But it's very clean and has a giant TV. Basic amenities are available. You barely interact with a human being. You pick up your key from a vending machine that can check your reservation and later return the key to a box. If you need anything, you can call the front desk (usually there is one person taking care of the entire thing). The location is fantastic. It's a short five-minute walk to the nearest subway station and a two-minute walk to the express bus stop going to the Incheon airport. There are four convenience stores within walking distance.
Hamilton Hotel
4.1/5152 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
The Hamilton is in a great location - right by a subway station with only one train change to get to and from the airport. Heaps of great cafes, restaurants, bars, brewpubs and clubs nearby - even if you don’t go clubbing if it is a great vibe. One word of warning - if you are noise sensitive, bring some earplugs to get a good night’s sleep. We booked knowing this from reading other reviews - and we slept just fine :) Room was spacious, very clean and secure.
Hotel E-Cube
3.5/520 Reviews
It is near & between sookmyeong & namyeong station. (walk for 10 or 1 mins)And we can get to the tourist spots such as myeongdong / Gwanghwamun with these station easily. The room is clean. I didn't see any hygiene problem. The only problem with my room is, there is no door at the bathroom. So it may be not recommendable for friends. The staff is nice and friendly. They are happy to talk with guest. Some of them don't speak english, but they are still willing & try their best to share their opinion & suggestion via translation app. This hotel is also named E Cube. I forgot which is the new name. Try both name for getting to this hotel. Its a perfect experience for me to staying there.
Hotel the Designers Seoul Station
4.4/5326 Reviews
Seoul Station
Beautiful hotel equipped with all the necessary amenities. Especially loved the warm toilet seats perfect for cold nights. It also came with a great view of the city. Staff here were friendly and understood English well. It is located right next to sookmyung women university metro and very convenient to get around. Worth every bit of the stay.
Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel Itaewon
4.3/5107 Reviews
Yongsan/Itaewon
Great location in Itaewon, very clean and spacious rooms, staff was great and gave me a late checkout. There’s an Eggslut restaurant in the lobby which makes breakfast very convenient. Will be back at the IP boutique hotel again.
