Gangnam Artnouveau City
Check-in is available from 4 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM—perfect timing for a relaxed arrival and departure. Luggage storage is conveniently offered at the front desk, which is great if you're arriving early or leaving late. The room is spacious enough for one person, but comfortably fits two or even three guests without feeling cramped. Everything you'd need for self-catering is included—mini fridge, microwave, washing machine—making it ideal for extended stays. I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness; every surface felt fresh and well-maintained, down to the smallest details. It’s rare to find such attention to hygiene in a city apartment, and it really adds to the overall experience. Highly recommend for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a home-like atmosphere.
Migliore Hotel Seoul Myeongdong
I stayed at Migliore Hotel Seoul Myeongdong and had a very positive experience overall. The front desk staff only speak Japanese and Korean, but since they provided written translations, communication wasn’t an issue. A deposit of 100,000 KRW was required upon check-in, which was fully refunded at checkout—simple and hassle-free. I booked a triple room on the 17th floor, and it was spacious with a great view of Namsan Tower, especially nice during sunset. On the third floor near reception, there’s a small 24-hour convenience store, luggage lockers for storage, and a coin-operated laundry service that works around the clock—super convenient for long stays or last-minute laundry needs. My friend stayed in a double room, which was slightly smaller, but still clean and well-maintained. What really stood out was the location: just steps away from the bustling Myeongdong district. Everything you’d want—restaurants, shopping, street food, and subway access—is right outside the door. This hotel offers excellent value, great comfort, and unbeatable positioning. I’d definitely recommend it and plan to stay here again.
Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon by Aank
Staying at Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon was a fantastic experience. The hotel is perfectly located in the middle of Seoul's vibrant nightlife, yet the rooms are well-insulated, making it easy to relax and sleep soundly despite the lively surroundings. The rooms themselves are spacious with large TVs that make for great entertainment. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and spoke fluent English, which made check-in and any inquiries super smooth. I appreciated the 24-hour check-in option—very convenient for late arrivals. Plus, everything you need is within walking distance: restaurants, cafes, shopping, and the metro station. This place truly offers the best of both worlds—urban energy and peaceful comfort. Highly recommend for travelers who want convenience without compromise.
Hotel the Designers LYJ Gangnam Premier
This was my second stay at this hotel, and I’m even more impressed this time around. The location is unbeatable—right next to the subway station, making it super easy to explore Gangnam District. Walking just a few minutes gets you to cozy cafés, fresh bakeries, authentic Korean restaurants, and shopping spots. Everything you’d want for a comfortable, convenient trip is within reach. The room was clean, stylish, and quiet, offering great value for the price. If you're visiting Seoul, especially if you’re into modern design and urban convenience, this is definitely a top choice.
Rian Hotel
I stayed at Rian Hotel for eight nights and was thoroughly impressed. Despite having only 57 rooms, the hotel feels well-maintained and offers a surprisingly warm, personal touch. Special shoutout to Manager Mr. Park, and staff members Mr. Jeong and Mr. Ku—every interaction was friendly, helpful, and genuinely went beyond expectations. Whether it was giving directions or assisting with travel logistics, they made every guest feel supported. The hotel features a self-service kiosk for cashless check-in and currency exchange, plus a luggage scale if you're heading to the airport. The 24-hour lounge on floor 10 is cozy and perfect for relaxing with a coffee or a quick cup of noodles. Located in a vibrant area, dining options are abundant—grilling spots, authentic Korean food, convenience stores like CU nearby, ramen shops, Paik Coffee, Ediya, ARTBOX, and even pop-up street food stalls within a 100-meter radius. Just a 3-minute walk from Jongno 3-ga Subway Station (Exit 14), you can easily reach Gwangjang Market (just one stop away) and other key areas like Myeongdong, Insadong, Hongdae, Namdaemun, and Itaewon. The airport bus stops right outside the hotel, making departures stress-free. Spot Kworld nearby? Just walk toward it and you’ll find the hotel. Plus, fresh towels and mineral water are provided daily—small but thoughtful touches that make a big difference. A standout stay with excellent value and service.
H Avenue Hotel Dongdaemun Sungshin
The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the room was spotlessly clean and neatly arranged—perfect for a relaxing stay. I felt completely at ease from the moment I walked in. Its central location near Dongdaemun makes it super convenient for shopping and exploring the city, especially with easy subway access. The comfort and value here are outstanding. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever visit Seoul again!
Hotel Boutique 9
This was my second visit to Korea, and I’m still head over heels for this hotel. It’s incredibly convenient—just a short walk from Dongdaemun, making it easy to explore the city by subway or on foot. The room was much larger than expected, offering great space and comfort. One small note: don’t forget to bring your own toothbrush, as it’s not provided. But everything else was top-notch. The fish cake soup downstairs is hands down one of the best I’ve had in Korea—warm, flavorful, and authentic. Right across the street is a dumpling shop run by a Northeast Chinese couple, and their dumplings are absolutely delicious—plump, juicy, and perfectly steamed. I highly recommend both! If I ever return to Seoul, this will be my go-to hotel again. A fantastic stay with excellent value and charm.
Hotel the May Jongno
Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful—always with a smile. Our room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, with fresh linens and excellent comfort. We requested extra water and housekeeping assistance, and both were promptly provided without any hassle. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh, abundant, and delicious, giving us a great start to each day. The location is ideal for exploring Seoul, just a short walk from subway stations and surrounded by great dining options. It’s rare to find such a seamless blend of comfort, service, and value. I’d definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city.

I was genuinely impressed with the value for money at Hotel WO Yongsan Station—my friends and I were all extremely satisfied. Located just steps from Yongsan Station, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around Seoul, whether you're heading to Gangnam, Myeongdong, or even going on a day trip. The rooms are compact but spotless, with comfortable beds, reliable Wi-Fi, and efficient heating and cooling. What stood out most was the friendly and helpful staff—they made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Cleanliness, location, and service all hit the mark. It’s not just a budget-friendly option; it’s a smart choice for travelers who want comfort without the high price tag. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
Richwell Hotel
Staying at Richwell Hotel was an absolute delight! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from subway stations and surrounded by great dining options. The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, making it easy to get a good night's sleep.

We came here with friends, and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and catching up without any distractions. It’s clear that attention to detail and guest comfort are top priorities. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul. A real hidden gem!
Hotel Soulhada
I keep coming back to this place whenever I travel solo to Seoul! It’s a bit of a walk uphill from Gangnam Station and tucked away in a little alley, but totally worth it. The front desk staff are always super friendly and helpful—every single time! The bathroom is spotless, like a high-end hotel, and the whole room feels so clean and fresh—almost too good to be true! Honestly, if I’m in Seoul, this is my absolute favorite stay. Great value, quiet location, and such a cozy vibe. One visit and you’ll want to come back again and again!
Travelodge Myeongdong Namsan
I've stayed at this hotel a few times before the pandemic and always found it clean and convenient—especially with water dispensers on every floor, so no need for bottled water. But my recent 10-day stay was a major disappointment. First off, I found small insects in the fridge—whether it had been unused for too long or not, I’m not sure, but it’s concerning. I cleaned it myself, but it still left a bad impression. The worst part? The bathroom. The door is so tight that you can’t close it without awkwardly stepping sideways—basically impossible to shut properly. And during my entire 10-day stay, the bathroom wasn’t cleaned once. I ended up cleaning it myself every day. I understand eco-friendly policies, but the cleaning schedule is way too infrequent—only every two or three days. You have to request it each time, and even then, there’s no guarantee when they’ll show up. If the price were really low and you’re okay with irregular housekeeping, maybe it’d be tolerable. But given the current standard, it’s hard to justify a 5-star rating. Management really needs to address these issues—don’t rely solely on platform reviews to cover up problems.
