Seoul Nori Madang

I stayed here for a week and was impressed by how helpful and friendly the staff were. The hotel is also in a very convenient location for the both the metro (Line 4) and the direct bus to Seoul Incheon Airport (6011). I had chosen to stay in one of the Basic rooms and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and well appointed the room was: particularly the bathroom, which was relatively spacious. The free breakfast was sufficiently nutritious and the menu varied enough to make each morning a little bit different. The No 4 metro line takes you direct to or connects you with a lot of the worthwhile attractions in downtown Seoul or elsewhere in the city. The nearest stop (Sungshin Women's University) is 5-10 minutes walk away from the hotel. Conveniently located though the hotel is, it might still be a bit confusing to locate the hotel if arriving at night. If you use Exit 1 at the metro, or alight from the 6011 Airport Bus, you will see a branch of Olive Young (a Korean chain of cosmetics shops) ahead of you. Take the small street that goes up to the right of it. Then take either the second or third turning on the right. The hotel takes up the space between these two small streets.

This is a no frills type of hotel. Theres not even a staff member on site or a lobby. You check in on a kiosk and everything is self service. There is a small common area including a sink, ice machine and water/tea. If you need to speak with someone, you can WhatsApp someone. He/she does answer promptly as we were not aware that there is only heating in the winter. Our rooms were quite hot. We stayed in the twin bunk bed room. It's very small but functional. They just opened so everything was pretty clean. I'm from the states so far warning, the shower is not the type of shower you would expect. The shower is connected to the sink. So the shower and toilet is all in one room. It was hard keeping our sleeping clothes dry. They probably need a few more spots to hang clothes. As for location, it's fantastic. Right outside you'll have an olive young, 7/11 and the street market. The subway line is a bit of a walk but not terrible. There are buses right outside the front door. This type of hotel is great for young adult travelers. Would not recommended for older people or children. There is just not enough room. Otherwise, a decent place for a last minute booking.

Super friendly staff to check me in. Fast, efficient check in. Room is super comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great stay.
