The location is excellent—right next to the night food street, just a short walk from subway stations and surrounded by trendy beauty shops. While the price feels a bit on the higher side, it's worth noting that with a small upgrade, you could easily get a higher-starred hotel. That said, the room comes with all the essentials—clean, comfortable bed, good shower, and functional amenities.

Travelodge Myeongdong Euljiro
The location is incredibly convenient—take the airport bus 6015 and get off at Euljiro 2-ga, then just turn left and you’ll spot the hotel right away. The front desk staff were very friendly and communicative during check-in, and housekeeping comes every two days while bed linens are changed every three days—really good attention to cleanliness. There’s some construction noise from nearby work sites during the day, but since we stayed out late exploring, it didn’t bother me at all. The area is packed with convenience stores, and there’s a little shop right downstairs that I ended up visiting almost daily—it’s amazing, with delicious food and a kind staff member who speaks Chinese and gives great recommendations. They also pointed us toward a fantastic grill restaurant across the street, which turned out to be one of the best meals of our trip. Overall, this place offers excellent value, comfort, and a great neighborhood vibe. I’d definitely stay here again when I return to Seoul.
Ddp Stn Avenue
The hotel is excellent overall—great location, super convenient for getting around Seoul, and the staff are very friendly. My only confusion was that I booked a two-night stay, but I had to check out on the second day and couldn’t recheck in until after 6 PM. That timing restriction felt a bit odd and wasn’t clearly explained upfront. Still, the team handled it well, and even though I had to move my luggage, it didn’t ruin the experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and the value for money was strong. Definitely would 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.
Hertz Hotel
The location of Hertz Hotel in Jongno was absolutely perfect! I arrived earlier than check-in time, but they kindly offered free luggage storage—so convenient. There were tons of restaurants, small shops, and cozy cafes nearby, making it easy to pass the time without any stress. The room itself was spotlessly clean, and having a bathtub was definitely one of the main reasons I chose this hotel—it made for a relaxing soak after a long day. Bathroom amenities included shampoo, conditioner, and a bathrobe, though I did need to bring my own toothbrush. For multi-night stays, water bottles were conveniently restocked. One standout feature was the sliding mirror that doubles as a blackout panel—just slide it across the window, and you’ve got complete darkness, ideal for sleeping in late. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a straightening iron available in the room—such a thoughtful touch. I’d definitely stay here again. Excellent value and a truly comfortable experience.
