Hotels near Guro Station, Seoul

This time I traveled to Korea alone to watch a performance. I was a bit hesitant to choose this hotel because it's quite new and there weren't many reviews available. Ultimately, I decided to stay because it was close to the venue. The staff were friendly and could communicate in English. The location is convenient; it takes less than five minutes to get to the subway station. Downstairs, there's a convenience store and a fairly large shopping mall with a big supermarket inside. The room also has international power sockets, which was a huge plus. The shower had plenty of hot water, and the toilet had good water pressure. The only downsides are that it's a bit inconvenient for solo travelers if you return to the hotel late, as there aren't many restaurants nearby where you can dine alone. The bed was a bit hard, and it creaked with even small movements. The pillows were too soft, making it hard to get comfortable. Also, the soundproofing is mediocre; you can hear noises from outside the door quite clearly, so I recommend bringing earplugs. Nevertheless, the overall experience was very good, and I would stay here again if needed.

I had a very comfortable stay at this hotel. The property is clean, well-kept, and spacious. The room layout is thoughtful, featuring a side couch and a dedicated work desk with a chair—perfect for those who need to get some work done. Check-In Experience Do note that the check-in time is strictly 4:00 PM. If you arrive early, the staff will ask you to leave your luggage at the reception for the time being while you wait or explore the area. Room Amenities The hotel is very generous with amenities. Unlike many places now, they still provide disposable toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver/cream, shower cap, etc.) and slippers. The room also includes: *Bathrobes, a hairdryer, and an iron. *Daily replenished bottled water, coffee, and tea. *Netflix is available on the TV (though please note there is a fee, and the interface is in Korean). Note: The only downside for me was the lack of a bidet in the toilet, which is a personal preference, but otherwise, the room was perfect. Facilities The 10th floor is a great resource hub, housing the Gym, Board Room, Ice Machine, and Microwave. There is also a laundry room with one washer and one dryer. Dining The buffet breakfast was the absolute highlight of my stay! It offers a delicious mix of American and Korean dishes. The quality, preparation, and taste were all top-notch—definitely don't skip it. 7am-10am (9am last entry) Location & Transport Tips Walking: Both Sindorim and Guro stations are about a 10–11 minute walk away. Bus: There is a bus stop right outside the main entrance. Pro Tip: if you want to save your legs, catch Bus #6512 or #5714 from right outside the hotel; they take you straight to Sindorim Station. Sightseeing: Expect a commute of 33 minutes to over an hour to reach major spots like Seoul Station, Myeongdong, Lotte World, DDP, and N Seoul Tower, depending on your mode of transport. Overall, a solid choice for a clean and comfortable stay in Seoul!

Accommodation in Seoul is pretty pricey and brands such as Hilton, Accor, Shangri-la eyc are few if not available. Lotte brand hotels as well as shopping centres, food outlets and entertainment are dominant across S Korea. Not familiar with the brand, it was about location vs price and after research found this hotel offered reasonable value. Its about 45 mins by Metro from Seoul Station, or there is a Airport bus that stops outside. Its about 10 minute walk to the hotel from the nearest metro station (Green Line) Guro Digital Complex. We had a trolley for carriage children! and a number of suitcases. We managed to wheel them to the hotel using a multi storey carpark lift as its stairs otherwise. Lots of eateries around the metro station including good BBQ venues. Check in was ok, the staff friendly dealing with our booking. The rooms are on the small size, though clean and adequate. House keeping do a great job and friendly. Breakfast was not part of the room rate. We added it for one morning to try, its cheaper if booked night before or 'penalised' with a higher price if on the morning. Our first impression was it looked good, though unfriendly staff in the breakfast room spoilt this, and the quality of food disappointing. For subsequent mornings we discovered the most amazing bakery that serves incredible and high quality breakfast dishes, breads, cakes and more substantial lunch options. Coffee & Brunch.

Pros: A staff member was always around (even if in the back of reception), spoke good English and gave us a pouch of amenities. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Big smart tv. They had underfloor heating. Unlimited water bottles. I think there was a coffee machine by reception too. We were impressed by how clean it was. Cons: The space was a bit limited for 2 people, but we opened one of the suitcases on the sofa. There was only 1 big towel in the room, but the 2 smaller ones were still sufficient. Only 1 key card to share. Despite initial worries because the price seemed too good to be true, there were no downsides. Pretty good value for money overall. We were worried it was a love motel but it was not the case. The alleyway wasn't bad or scary if you are walking from the main road, so I recommend that route if anyone was worried from other reviews. Make sure you copy the hangul/korean name of the hotel for maps/uber. It was a good hotel to stay at coming from Gimpo airport late night. Managed to order food delivery on baemin too :)

Very convenient location. Walking distance from train station and situated at the Main Street which restaurants, street stalls, shops, supermarkets and their local market is. Most importantly Is walking distance to Pyungkang Cheil church. Good room size. When you entered the room there is an entryway for us to remove our shoes and keep the dirt off from the room.👍 The shower area can be better equipped… there is a shower bar without shower screen, there isn’t bidet toilet seat ( most of the hotels in Seoul have it) 😳 the water drainage is effective 👍 By the way… if you need extra pillow ( only one pillow per single bed) it is charged at 5,500won per pillow per night! 😳😠😱 What we like best is the laundromat! Good and reasonably priced. There is also a convenient store ( CU ) at ground floor. Enjoy your stay!

Location is good with a metro station just opposite the hotel. If you like jogging outside, there is a nice and long jogging track just under the metro line, and you can run up until the Han river according to the local. Cafe service for the morning breakfast is good. Staffs are helpful and polite. Room cleanup service is also nicely done. The wow surprise is a welcoming gift left on the table upon checking in. Some draw back is the furniture. The working table is old with the leather has already peeled off. Usage of toothbrush and paste are chargeable so need to be careful although there are notice being put up.

The rooms have USB ports for convenient charging, and a water purifier, which is a nice thoughtful touch.

The check-in was quick and the environment was pretty good, but the sound of opening and closing the door was quite loud and could be heard in the room. There are many shops nearby, including supermarkets and 7-11, which is very convenient.

Frankly, inside was just everything necessary: up to charging, haircuts, toothbrush, haircut, shaving and much more. The only thing, not cleaned in the room, but for such a cost you can tolerate. To the metro minutes 7. Once you will pass and already very easy to get to the straight.

If you are a solo traveler or two, This hotel is the best buck for what you need. They provide basic stuffs like a shampoo and a bodywash hair dryer. Etc. They even have a simple kitchen utensils like spoons pots and bowls. I didn't use a washer but It's in the room. The room where I stayed was big enough for me. But If you're carrying more than one suit cases, you may run out of the space to open all at once. It's tight but possible to move it around. The owner speaks English a little bit but you can tell he's willing to help you out as much as possible. It's a nice choice for being there and enjoying my time. Thank you.
