The Shilla Seoul is an exceptional choice for a stay in Seoul. While the room size is on the smaller side and the front desk staff seemed a bit reserved upon check-in without offering much guidance, the service truly shines during your stay. For instance, after buying snacks from the convenience store near the entrance around 9:30 PM, the shuttle driver kindly offered to deliver them straight to our room—something we hadn’t known about since it wasn’t mentioned at reception. That small gesture made a big difference. And don’t miss the hotel’s ground-floor bakery—it’s widely regarded as Seoul’s top French pastry shop. The pastries are rich, delicate, and absolutely worth a visit. Despite minor initial impressions, the attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout the stay make this hotel stand out. Highly recommend for both comfort and convenience.

Staying at the Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Seoul Gangnam was an exceptional experience. The service and amenities were top-notch—everything from the elegant rooms to the attentive staff exceeded expectations. While the location isn’t in the heart of the bustling city center and there aren’t many shops or attractions right outside, that’s actually one of its charms: it offers a peaceful, quiet retreat amidst the urban energy of Seoul. Getting to major sights requires a short ride by taxi or subway, but the hotel’s convenient access to public transport makes it easy. For travelers seeking comfort, privacy, and a refined atmosphere, this is a truly rewarding choice. The value for money is excellent, especially if you're looking for a serene escape without sacrificing luxury.

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.

Staying at Seoul Forest Stay Guesthouse was an absolute delight! The host was incredibly friendly and spoke fluent English, Korean, and even basic Chinese—making communication so easy. He personally showed me around the guesthouse with great care, explaining all the amenities and local tips. The single room is compact but spotlessly clean, with everything you’d need: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a desk lamp, hairdryer, heater, air conditioning, and even toilet paper. Common areas provide towels for guests to use—very thoughtful. Located just steps away from Seoul Forest Park, it’s peaceful and quiet yet still super convenient for getting into downtown via subway. The value-for-money factor is outstanding. I’ll definitely be back!

Staying at Hah Guesthouse felt like coming home—warm, cozy, and full of personality. The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive; when I mentioned a noisy exhaust fan in the bathroom on day two, they fixed it the same day with zero hassle. What truly made this place special were the three adorable cats—they’d wander around the second floor, especially one who loved hanging out by the water fountain near my door each evening, peeking in with curious eyes. So sweet! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the subway station, making exploring Seoul super easy. With its charm, great service, and welcoming vibe, I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, authentic stay in Seoul.

I was really impressed with Cobe Guesthouse Dongdaemun—clean bathroom, tidy room overall, and a great value for the price. The only thing I’d suggest is a more thorough cleaning under the bed. Unfortunately, there were no curtains at the window, so bright morning sunlight made it hard to sleep—I ended up covering it with my own towel! Also, I accidentally left behind a water bottle at checkout—would you mind disposing of it? Despite the early check-out time (before 11 AM), which made me wish I could stay longer, I’m already planning to return this December or early next year. It’s definitely one of the best stays I’ve had in Seoul, and I’ll be booking again without hesitation.

Located a 10 to 15-minute walk from Sinmunwon Station, the journey itself is part of the experience—passing through a lively traditional market makes the walk feel quick and enjoyable. I loved strolling through the stalls along the way, soaking in the local vibe. There are several convenience stores nearby, with the closest being a Seven Eleven, and other GS or Seven Eleven branches within a 5–6 minute radius—perfect for last-minute essentials. The address is easy to follow on navigation apps, and check-in was smooth and hassle-free. From the moment I stepped in, it felt like home—warm, cozy, and inviting. I slept really well, thanks to the electric blanket on the bed and the consistently strong hot water supply. Towels are provided (2 per guest), and while the kitchen and bathroom are shared, they’re kept clean and well-maintained. This place offers an unbeatable value for money. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.

Checked in late at night, but the front desk staff were still very attentive and made the process super smooth. The team was friendly and even upgraded our room without any hassle—definitely a pleasant surprise. We appreciated the small touches like individually packaged skincare items, which felt thoughtful and added to the overall comfort. While it has a motel-like vibe with its compact layout, the attention to detail, cleanliness, and service quality make it feel much more premium. It’s definitely not your average budget stay—great value for the price, and I’d happily book again if I’m back in Seoul.

Just a 1-minute walk from Exit 8 of Dongdaemun History & Cultural Park, this hotel is perfect for shopping and exploring the area. The place was incredibly clean and well-maintained, giving a very welcoming vibe. The bathtub was spacious and so relaxing—perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Seoul. Great value and comfort in one!

My stay at Tria Business & Boutique Hotel was absolutely excellent. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and got me checked in quickly—something especially appreciated after a long flight. I also learned that the platform offers automated check-in for late arrivals, which is incredibly convenient for travelers with unpredictable schedules. The room was spacious and well-designed, with a comfortable bed and pillows that made for a restful night’s sleep. The air conditioning system is easy to adjust, allowing me to set the perfect temperature with just a few taps. I was particularly happy to find both a bathtub and a shower in the bathroom—a thoughtful touch that added to the overall luxury. Housekeeping came by daily, and everything was spotless and meticulously maintained. It’s clear the team takes pride in cleanliness and guest comfort. Overall, this was a truly pleasant experience from start to finish. I’d definitely choose this hotel again—excellent value, great service, and a memorable stay.

Staying at OYO Hostel Dongdaemun 1 was a delightful experience. The location is incredibly convenient—nestled in a quiet alley just steps away from the subway entrance, making it easy to explore Seoul’s main attractions. The atmosphere throughout the hostel is warm and welcoming, especially on the 5th floor where breakfast is served with soft background music. The heating system works well during winter, keeping the rooms cozy and comfortable. While there are no disposable toiletries (like toothbrushes), they do provide towels, which is thoughtful. Be aware that there’s no elevator—so if you’re not up for climbing stairs, request a lower-floor room. Noise levels are decent; even though soundproofing isn’t perfect, there’s minimal disturbance at night. One of my favorite moments? Sipping coffee on the 5th floor during a snowfall, listening to music, chatting with friends, and watching the city turn white—it felt like a scene from a movie. The front desk staff speaks excellent English, but service hours are limited to 8 AM–10 PM. For other times, you’ll need to use alternative communication methods. Overall, this place offers great value, friendly vibes, and a unique charm. A solid choice for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in central Seoul.

Staying at Inn The City Business Hotel was a fantastic experience. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the subway station, making it easy to explore Seoul’s vibrant neighborhoods. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious for three guests; we never felt cramped. Cleanliness and comfort were top-notch, with fresh linens, quiet ambiance, and excellent air quality. The staff were welcoming and efficient throughout our stay. It’s rare to find such a great balance between affordability and quality. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul.
