Absolutely worth it! The hotel conveniently has direct access to the subway. There are also two subway entrances outside the hotel, making it easy to travel throughout the city. Additionally, there’s a bus station just a short walk away. The hotel is a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong night market, which is filled with numerous stores and street vendors.
The WiFi worked perfectly, and the room was spotless upon checking in. The check-in and check-out processes were incredibly smooth.
I highly recommend staying at Villiv in
The lodging is at very convenient location. Subway is just next door and easy access to bus and taxi. Room is clean and staff is very easy to communicate with.
Pros: Room was clean, it would be a more spacious size in comparison to a hotel. Communication was clear so it was a smooth process to check in and check out. Location was excellent, train located in the same building, in the basement. Convenience stores right outside of the building. Felt like a safe neighbourhood. Myeongdong is just a 10 minutes walk away.
Cons: There was daily housekeeping but we got the bare minimum which was change of towels. We did not get daily water bottles or toilet papers. Bed and pillow was not as comfortable. Elevator was a nightmare, better of taking the stairs, but after walking over 20,000 steps a day, you do not want to go through stairs again.

There was an error with my reservation- the room was not available (even though the entire stay was paid for in advance, and I also received the usual confirmation/reminder emails from Expedia in the days leading up to the stay).
I was moved to another hotel nearby, but would have to check out in the middle of my trip and check in again at the original hotel. It was incredibly difficult to contact the hotel, both on the original check in day and the day I had to change hotels. This was due to issues with the Expedia messaging platform- there was significant delays in the messaging platform, meaning that I could not see the messages from the hotel (with hotel details, check in information), despite them being able to see messages from me. I tried accessing the Expedia app on 2 different phones (Android/ Apple) and via webpage, with the same issue.
Having to change my travel plans in the middle of my stay (in order to check out/re-check in at 12pm) AND move hotels was incredibly inconvenient, and the messaging issue (which meant even more time spent trying to contact the hotel).
After all that, when I actually went to check in to the new room, the door code did not work, which necessitated another trip to "reception" to request they reset the door code. Fortunately staff were still on site (though I am unclear what the "reception" office hours are)
Please note this hotel does not have onsite reception-no "front desk" or staff it is run virtually. Would not book again.
Location always great. Accessibility was also as good as it gets. The space felt like a good proportioned apartment with amazing views. Very well equipped and furnished.
