Hotels near Hapjeong Station, Seoul

Recommended to stay here as staff were very friendly and assisted fully in checking in and providing assistance. Breakfast was pretty decent as well and area was close to station, so it was easy to access other food areas such a Myeongdong. However, not much food options in the proximity of the hotel, aside from a 24hr ramyeon store.

The staff is helpful and good English for communication. Solo travelling is good to meet other tourists in the common area. Good hot shower and beddy. The Aircon is not really working, the whole night room temperature is in 26degree ...

Nice to have the airport limousine bus stop right at this hotel. Stayed in the exec twin room for 3nights. Very comfortable beds and fluffy towels! Room seems left ”vacant” for some time as the room doesnt smell fresh with stale-musky scent. Staff are professional but seems like the guest services is a little unsure of the hotel surroundings when we asked for directions. And regardless of being environmental friendly, my humble view is that a 5-star hotel should still provide to the basic toiletries amenities. On our 2nd night stay, strangely we can smell the cigarette smoke in our room - not sure if the air piping system is not good or some guest smoking in his/her room.

Our 5-day, 4-night stay at this hotel was quite good! We booked a triple room for two adults and one child. It's worth noting that many hotels in Korea charge per person, unlike in China where a standard room can often accommodate three. It's best to confirm this before booking. Getting there from the airport: Take bus 6015 and get off at the 'Hotel G3' stop. While there are Chinese announcements before the stop, it's still wise to pay attention. Remember to press the red button above your seat one stop prior to signal the driver. Once you get off, walk down a gentle slope for a few dozen meters (no stairs), turn left, and you'll see the hotel. It's very conveniently located! (To return to the airport, wait at the same stop. Make sure to have 17,000 KRW cash per person ready.) The hotel lobby is on the second basement level (B2). The front desk staff speak English, and check-in was very quick. They'll hand you a small slip of paper with your room number and door code. Remember to take a photo of it and then dispose of the paper safely, as losing it could be a security risk. While the hotel isn't directly in Myeongdong (it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the shopping street), its location is excellent due to its proximity to public transport. Chungmuro subway station is right downstairs, just outside the hotel entrance, and it's only one stop away from Myeongdong. The room itself is a bit small, but it's well-equipped with a large refrigerator and a microwave, which were incredibly convenient. There's also a supermarket downstairs where we could easily grab snacks. For breakfast, we often bought rice balls, cakes, and delicious milk from the nearby convenience store. Additionally, there's a washing machine with a dryer function. If you plan to use it, make sure to bring your own laundry detergent, though we personally didn't use this amenity. The room's soundproofing was pretty good, and bath towels were replaced daily. The elevators were acceptable; we never had to wait too long. More specific details can be found in the hotel's informational guide (see my photo #6).

Hotel in a very good location, in myeongdong. Good view of Seoul tower. Near to train station. If only the train station exit is with lift access, it will be even better. Staff were friendly and helpful! Recommended!

Great hotel location with direct airport limousine 6001 stopping right in front of the hotel. There is also Hoehyeon subway station right below the hotel on Line 4 with 1 stopping from Myeondong in one direction and Seoul Station on the other side. It’s opposite Namdaemum Market and at the bottom of Namsan Hill. It’s a short walk to Myeongdong shopping district via the underground station fully connected.  The room is clean and well maintained. It has a few restaurants right inside the hotel building and a convenient store next to the lift lobby.

Our room was consistently cleaned and tidied up every day without fail. New towels were also promptly provided and folded neatly in the bathroom. Room was clean and the ventilation was excellent as well! Pillows were plush and everything was very comfortable for our trip in Korea :). However one aspect that could be improved on would be the hotels breakfast buffet. Food items could be more varied and operated on a rotational menu.

I like new hotels and so I had reservation when I booked The Shilla because of its age and location. But, the restaurant La Yeon was amazing and I just had to return as I didn’t stay in The Shilla previously. The hotel has no signs of aging. The service was truly exceptional! From the warm welcome at pickup, check-in to check-out, I was truly impressed with the friendliness and professionalism. The room was clean, new and spacious. The amenities needed were all supplied. Absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail, personalized touches, and genuine hospitality made the stay unforgettable. A perfect blend of luxury and comfort - definitely an experience worth repeating! Granted the location is a bit off but the hotel offered shuttle to a few points. I didn’t make use of that as taxis were readily available.

We had a truly enjoyable stay at Merlin Hotel. The hotel combines comfort, convenience, and excellent service, making it a wonderful choice for travelers. Its location is very convenient, allowing easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and public transport. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The facilities were modern and practical, ensuring both relaxation and convenience. What really stood out was the warmth and professionalism of the staff—they were always ready to assist with a smile and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. We would highly recommend Merlin Hotel to anyone visiting South Korea and look forward to staying there again in the future.

Stayed here 6D in April 2025. Very nice rooms with great views of Namsan or Han River. Staff were very attentive and can converse in English. Rooms with twin beds faced Namsan (north-east). Rooms with double beds faced Han River(south-west). Nearby ET Land shopping centre (5mins walk) is a haven for AV, Electronic, mobile phones, home appliances. 5-7mins walk to Yongsan Station & IPARK Mall have many food & shopping options. Tap card access to floors provides safety & peace of mind.
