"I had a nice time."

"It provided ramen, coffee &tea throughout the day in the lounge. It was maintained neatly. It's three story building without an elevator, where I stayed on the third floor taking up bags in the very narrow & steep hallway and steps. The entrance was rocky. On the checkout day, the staff helped carrying the luggage downstairs. It has 3 washers /dryers with laundry detergent."

"Friendly staff!"

"Glad I found this place when my other hotel reservation fell through! I booked last minute and all of the reviews I read were right—it’s clean, quiet, and convenient to access in Seoul. One thing I didn’t necessarily know (but I probably could have found on the website) is that it is not luggage friendly or handicap accessible. That’s not any fault of the owners, but I FYI to others, I did have to drag several suitcases up three floors! "

Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very accommodating for our big group of 11 arriving early. Great central location within the city. 7-11 and Starbucks nearby. Train station steps from the front door to easily explore Seoul."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. If you’re staying in Seoul this is an absolute must, I will be committing to this hotel for any future stay. Pros Friendly and helpful staff Central location near important subway lines Tax free convenience store inside hotel Superb cleanliness Affordable rooms Cons The only con is that the rooms aren’t full kitted out with everyone you need right from day one. You will need to ask for pots and pans etc but this is completely understandable and hardly an issue"
