I booked this hotel through a platform and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The online booking was quick and easy, and I even scored a nice discount—definitely worth it. The location is unbeatable: just a 6-minute walk to the subway station, making it super convenient for getting around Seoul. Right outside the hotel, there’s a convenience store and a cozy Korean barbecue spot—perfect for late-night snacks or early-morning coffee. In about 10 minutes, you’re in the heart of Myeongdong shopping district, ideal if you love browsing boutiques and street stalls. I also tried the paid sauna option—it was a great way to unwind after a long day. Breakfast was a buffet with a wide variety of options, fresh and well-prepared. I loved starting my morning at a window seat, sipping coffee while watching the sunrise—peaceful and refreshing. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a bed and pillows that were just right—not too soft, not too firm. While they don’t provide toothbrushes or toothpaste (eco-friendly policy), they do offer slippers and two bottles of bottled water daily. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The only downside? It’s slightly on the pricier side—but honestly, the quality, comfort, and location make it totally justified. I’d definitely book here again without hesitation.
Absolutely loved our stay at Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong! The location is perfect for families—spacious rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a washer/dryer made packing so much easier. We didn’t have to bring too many clothes, which was a huge plus when traveling with kids. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. It’s just a 10-minute walk to Chungmuro Subway Station, making it easy to get around the city. The heating works well in winter, but the room gets quite warm, so we used the Dyson fan provided—still, I’d recommend opening a window slightly to keep air fresh, especially since there were a few mosquitoes. Cleanliness overall was good, though we found an unknown pill on the floor and some hair on the sheets—minor issues, but worth noting. One thing to remember: no toothpaste, toothbrush, or disposable slippers are provided, so pack your own essentials. Despite these small points, the value, comfort, and convenience make this hotel a top pick. Definitely booking again for our next trip to Seoul!
The Hamilton Hotel is incredibly convenient—just a 1-minute walk from Itaewon Station, making access super easy. The front desk staff even helped me book a taxi, which was a nice touch. While the area can get a bit noisy at night due to the nearby nightlife scene, it’s totally manageable. Overall, the location, service, and value for money make this a standout choice. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Seoul.
Staying at Summit Hotel Seoul Dongdaemun was an absolute breeze. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Dongdaemun Market and right next to the subway station, making it super easy to get around the city. There's also an airport bus stop right outside the hotel, which made my arrival and departure so convenient. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with excellent service throughout my stay. I loved how central everything was—shopping, dining, sightseeing—all within walking distance. This place offers fantastic value for money and truly delivers on comfort and convenience. I’ll definitely be choosing this hotel again on my next trip to Seoul.
I stayed at Mangrove Sinseol Hotel for a few days and was really impressed. The location is perfect—right next to the subway station, just a 15-minute ride to Seongsu and about 30 minutes to Hongdae. The airport bus 6002 stops right outside, making travel super convenient. There are plenty of nearby convenience stores like 7-Eleven, CU, OY, Mega, and Mammoth—no long lines even during peak hours. The building has a secure entry with a password lock, and the elevator requires your room keycard, which adds peace of mind. The shared kitchen is clean and well-maintained, and the rooftop terrace offers a great view—perfect for relaxing in the evening. Check-in and check-out are fully self-service, and the machine supports Simplified Chinese, which is a big plus for introverted travelers. The bathroom is on the smaller side, and housekeeping comes every six days, but that’s not an issue if you’re staying just a few days. Overall, it’s a quiet, safe, and well-designed place with excellent value. Highly recommend for solo travelers.
Staying here for two nights was an absolute delight! The hotel is perfectly located near Jongno Station, making it super easy to explore Seoul via subway. The surrounding area is lively with plenty of restaurants and cafes—great for dinner or a quick bite. I especially loved the spacious and clean room layout, with excellent shower controls for both temperature and water pressure. The vanity area was generous in size, and the wall-mounted TV was big enough to enjoy comfortably. The breakfast dining area was bright and airy, offering a variety of fresh breads, creamy mashed potatoes, and other tasty options. Staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our stay, even smiling warmly at check-out—such a nice touch that made us want to come back. One small downside: no power outlet near the sink, so using a hairdryer while getting ready was tricky. Also, the chair felt more like a conference chair—back support wasn’t sturdy, making it a bit unstable if you’re sitting to do makeup. A small stool would’ve been a great addition! Overall, this is a beautifully maintained hotel with modern amenities and a cozy atmosphere. It’s a top choice for anyone visiting Seoul—highly recommend for comfort, convenience, and charm.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Olive Young in Myeongdong, and surrounded by amazing local eats like juicy bulgogi ribs and crispy fried chicken. I arrived via Airport Bus 6015, and it only took about 2–3 minutes to reach the hotel—super convenient. Right across the street is Lotte Duty-Free, so shopping for souvenirs or essentials is effortless. What really stood out was that the staff spoke Chinese during my stay, which made everything so much easier. Friendly, helpful, and very professional. This place offers incredible value for money and is perfect for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and great service—all in one. Highly recommended!

There are tons of local eateries around—locals love coming here, so you know it’s authentic and vibrant. The front desk staff were super professional and spoke excellent English—check-in and check-out went smoothly without any hiccups. I loved that the lobby has a luggage scale; it’s so convenient for checking your bag weight before heading out, especially when you’re shopping. The room had decent soundproofing—some noise from the neighboring room (like TV sounds) came through, but nothing too disruptive. I brought earplugs just in case, and they worked perfectly. One small note: the slippers were made of leather, likely for eco-friendly reasons. If you’re sensitive to materials or prefer your own, it might be worth bringing your own. Also, there’s no free bottled water, but there’s a water dispenser in the lobby where you can refill your bottle. Overall, the value for money is excellent, the atmosphere is lively and central, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Seoul!
This stay at Hotel Skypark Myeongdong 1 was absolutely excellent—definitely one of the best in the area. The location is unbeatable, right next to Myeongdong SpaO, so after shopping, I just asked the hotel to deliver my bags back to the room and kept walking. No need to carry heavy bags around! I arrived at 8 a.m., checked in immediately, and they stored my luggage right away. After a full morning of exploring, I returned by noon and was already checked in—no waiting, no hassle. Staff were friendly, efficient, and most importantly, spoke fluent Chinese, making communication seamless throughout. The room is on the smaller side, but spotless and well-maintained, with two bottles of water delivered daily. For travelers focused on shopping and sightseeing, the size doesn’t matter at all. Plus, it’s just a 3-4 minute walk to both the subway station and airport bus stop—perfect for quick access to the airport or other parts of Seoul. Everything about this experience was smooth, convenient, and highly satisfying. I’d definitely stay here again.
The triple room we stayed in had four beds, and the space was actually larger than I expected—definitely more roomy than most hostels I've been to. The front desk staff speaks a bit of Chinese and can manage basic English conversations, and they were very responsive and helpful. We only received one key card initially, which made splitting up a bit inconvenient, but after mentioning it, they quickly provided two extra ones—really thoughtful! The nearby 7-Eleven is super convenient; just exit subway line 7, walk straight across the street, and you're there. It's a short walk if you're not carrying heavy luggage. Waste sorting isn't strictly enforced, but there’s a large trash bin right at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, so you can easily bring your trash down without hassle. Overall, this place offers great value, excellent location, and a comfortable stay—definitely a top pick for travelers visiting Seoul.
First off, thank you for the detailed photos on how to find the guest house—those were incredibly helpful and made our arrival so smooth. The location is unbeatable: right in the heart of the action with amazing dining options, shopping spots, airport shuttles, buses, and subway stations all within walking distance. Our room was on the smaller side, but honestly, it worked perfectly for just the two of us—we didn’t mind at all. What truly stood out was how spotless everything was: the lobby, shared spaces, and even the rooms themselves were immaculate. It’s rare to find a place this clean, especially at this price point. I’d seen some mixed reviews about the owner, but during our stay, he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. I’d highly recommend Yolo Guesthouse and will definitely be back.
We stayed here as a family and it was perfect—the room was spacious, clean, and well-organized.

The front desk team was friendly and helpful, offering great local tips and assistance with transportation. Everything felt welcoming and thoughtfully managed. It’s rare to find such a comfortable, hassle-free experience in Seoul, especially with family. The value for money is outstanding, and I’d definitely book again. Highly recommend this place to anyone traveling with loved ones.
