Reviews for Seoul Hotels

H Hotel Seocho
3.9/59 Reviews
It was so dirty. It wasn't just a hair or two on the floor, and there were many marks on the wall map. No 100,000 won motel has ever experienced this quality room. It was really so unpleasant
E Livingtel
3.7/5114 Reviews
It takes less than 2 minutes from Exit 1 of Seocho Station (Line 2), but there is no signboard of the hotel, and the cafe next door is a landmark. The so-called ``Goshiwon'', Livingtel and Officetel type guesthouses. There is a reception on the 4th floor, but the staff is not resident, and it depends on the time of day, so it is better to inform the check-in time. Shoe boxes and slippers are available for rent at the entrance. The 2nd floor is a single room with a shower, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors are single rooms without a shower. There is a shared kitchen on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th floors, and you can eat whatever you want. There is a water server on each floor. If you are not familiar with Kosiwon, it may be difficult for long-term residents because the staff is not resident. The room requires a normal key and a deposit of 10,000w at check-in. The room is a little over 2 tatami mats in size, and although the shape of the room is different between the inside and the outside, the basic structure is a shelf above the desk, a clothes closet next to it, and a refrigerator below. The lights in the hallway are turned off day and night, probably to save electricity (even if someone turns them on, they are immediately turned off), so the inside of the building feels a bit dry. The shared shower on the 4th floor is old and a little intimidating, which may be hard for Japanese people. The showers on the 2nd and 3rd floors are clean and bright. Wi-Fi had routers on the floor and in each room, but it was a little choppy, probably due to aging, so there was no problem with smartphones, but PCs were difficult to use. It is suitable for people who want to keep their accommodation costs low as it is easily accessible from the station despite being a cheap hotel. If you walk to the other side, you can reach ”Kyodae” station on lines 8 and 9 in about 10 minutes, so it's convenient. Airport limousines can also be boarded on the main street. There is a large mall with Lotte Mart on the other side of the station, and it is convenient because it also has a food court. There are many local restaurants in the back street, and it is crowded with local office workers, so you won't have any trouble staying. Since the staff is not resident, if you tell the time when you check out, they will come to return the deposit, but it is also a bit of a problem.
LE COLLECTIVE Seocho Atelier
4.4/536 Reviews
facility: The check-in experience is very good ~ It is consistent with the pictures ~ But it is a little smaller than the photos ~ You can store your luggage for free, and the 24-hour monitoring is very safe ~ The kitchen supplies are very neat, clean and complete ~ There is also an oven with integrated steam and microwave ~ Service: A small accident occurred during the check-in. I contacted the staff and he showed up immediately and helped to solve the problem and changed the room. Later, I also contacted the staff when I had something to do. I later found out that it was his personal contact information. I bothered him many times. I'm a little sorry... Environment: The transportation is also very convenient. There are many convenience stores and restaurants downstairs. There are also many people at night! But the corridor and the room are very quiet~ Hygiene: The room is very clean and tidy - no smell!
Hotel Peyto Gangnam
4.4/5134 Reviews
I am very satisfied with my stay. It is very convenient to go anywhere by taking the subway and bus. Bus 6009 stops at the door. The room is clean and well heated. Although it is small, it is fully equipped and worth staying! This is a hotel you can stay in next time you go to Korea!
Shilla Stay Seocho
4.3/5200 Reviews
Even though it was the day before my check-in date, they kept my suitcase with me, which was really helpful. However, I contacted them in advance via their website and trip.com to see if it was possible to leave my suitcase there, and on the day I called them about 3 times, but I never received a reply. I was a little worried about not being able to contact them (I was able to take my suitcase directly to them on the day and have them leave it for me). Overall, the rooms were simple, clean, and spacious enough, and the front desk staff were generally kind. It is unclear whether Japanese can be understood because the conversation was in English. Although it is a little far from Gangnam Station, it is fun to walk as there are many cafes and restaurants along the way, such as Olive Young and Daiso. It was also about a 5 minute walk from the nearest bus stop. There was a restaurant called Chamsolleongtang in front of us across the crosswalk from the hotel that was very delicious. I entered by myself. There is no coin laundry. If I have a chance, I would like to stay here again.
Gangnam AN Guesthouse - Hostel
4.2/517 Reviews
It's nice because it feels like a home, as if it was taken from the inside. It looks like it's all new except for a few items that have water or stains. It would be a good idea to bring toiletries. I thought it was expensive because it was a dormitory, but the bunk bed on the second floor had a separate step stool and looked good (check to see if it's sturdy). I don't know because I didn't see it, but it was on the second floor and easy to climb up to.) The owner also came on time to check out, so there was no inconvenience or anything like that, he was friendly. The only thing that caught me was that there was no personal curtain. It was open.
