Hotels near Keumsan Gallery, Seoul

The front desk staff are kind and the room is clean with modern appliances. The hotel is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Myeongdong Station, and there's a convenience store right next door. While the shower and toilet are combined and it's not a luxurious stay, it's perfectly sufficient if you're just looking for a place to sleep.

The room that I checked in is not even close to the room that I booked (deluxe double room). Staff said every deluxe double room is different but completely different from what they posted and can’t change it due to all full. But everything else is pretty good. Cleanliness and location are great. Subway station(Line 4) are 10 minutes away by walking.

This was my daughter's first trip to Korea, right after she graduated from high school. The hotel was quick and polite in responding to my email inquiries. We were able to leave our luggage secured in the stairwell (though I was a bit worried leaving it unattended for a while) and head out for sightseeing. The location was super convenient, on the 3rd or 4th floor, roughly across from the Starbucks at the post office. There was a new building under construction right in front of us. When we checked in, a staff member was there to help us with our luggage. On the way out, I had a lot of bags and had to make two trips, which was tough, but it's great that there's a 7-Eleven a few doors down and plenty of other convenience stores, plus it's right off the main street, so no complaints there. I felt safe even coming back late at night. The double-glazed windows kept the outside noise out, but since our room was near the stairwell entrance on the 3rd floor, we could hear other guests locking and unlocking their doors in the hallway, which was a bit bothersome. The shower worked fine without any issues, though the water tended to pool a bit at our feet. It was nice to have shared towels and water available, and the amenities were well-stocked, the hairdryer had good power, and the tea and kettle were appreciated. The refrigerator, however, didn't work; it wouldn't cool anything. I managed by putting ice from 7-Eleven in a cooler bag for yogurt and drinks. We pushed the twin beds together and had a comfortable 'girls' night,' feeling right at home. The price was reasonable, the location was convenient, and there wasn't a large lobby like in bigger hotels, so we could get to our room quickly. The compact layout, with the restroom right nearby, was actually a relief for our tired feet after a lot of walking. There was no room cleaning service. We learned to hang towels in the bathroom to keep the floor from getting wet and uncomfortable. It's also a good idea to put trash bins and slippers outside the room. The self-service check-in/check-out machine was great, allowing us to do it at our own pace. I'd definitely want to stay here again.

I really appreciate the staff friendliness and hospitality. Especially, Mr. KIM, young gentle man with glasses who is really willing to help you on every concern you shared with him. BRAVO to Mr. Kim. The location is great, very near Myeongdong station (line 4) and Airport bus stop 6001 and 6015. Gs25 convinience store is just opposite. It's in middle of shopping areas, you can find Olive Young, drug store, Daiso, Northface, etc. just in a short walking distance. The only thing that bother me is that the wall between rooms are so thin until I can hear my next room guests talking and people walk in the hall way during the night time or every early in the morning when you still want to sleep.

Since it was just opened, I searched for it on Naver Maps or Kakao Maps and it didn't come up, so I was worried it might actually be there, but it turned out fine! There was no floor guide on the website, so just to clarify, there is a kiosk on the 4th floor where you can check in, receive your room number and go to your room. The elevator goes up to the 5th floor, and there is a common space on the 6th floor where you can enjoy a cafe corner, ramen, and other services. The microwave was broken so I couldn't heat up my tteokbokki, which was disappointing 😭 The room was clean and had a refrigerator and table, so I had a comfortable stay!

1. The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient to get to Shinsegae Department Store, and it's also very close to the subway station. 2. The front desk service at the hotel is good, and their English is excellent, so communication was seamless. 3. The downside is: the air conditioning temperature couldn't go up. It's been very cold in Korea recently, with snow, and I caught a cold after showering. The AC temperature really needs to be improved; those who are sensitive to cold should definitely take note. 4. Elevator space: The elevator is very small, suitable for 1-2 people at a time. It feels very cramped with more people.

This place was more spacious and comfortable than a capsule hotel, offering great value for money. The self-check-in after 8 PM was a breeze. I was lucky enough to get the room furthest back, so I wasn't bothered by noise from the entrance, and it even had a window! The bathroom had a hairdryer and hair iron, and it wasn't crowded around 7 AM, so I could get ready at my own pace. The location was excellent, within walking distance to Myeongdong, so I'd definitely like to stay here again. However, I was told the ground floor door would be locked after 10 PM, but even after entering the password, it wouldn't open... Luckily, someone who was waiting for the elevator opened it for me from the inside.

The check-in process was easy and fast, which made our arrival smooth and hassle-free. The hotel’s location is a big plus, as it is very convenient and just a short walk from the train station. There is also a small pantry area available, which was decent and provided some space for us to eat. However, the room itself was extremely small. We could barely open our small luggage, and moving around the room was quite challenging. For two people, the space feels too tight to be considered comfortable. The shower area was also very small, and the shower head can only be adjusted in one angle, making it difficult to shower comfortably. As we stayed during winter, the room felt a little cold since there was no heater provided. That said, once we closed the window, the temperature became more manageable and acceptable. Overall, it feels like you get what you pay for. While the location and quick check-in are definite advantages, the room size is a major drawback. It may be suitable for solo travelers or very short stays, but it is quite cramped for two people.

This was my first hostel experience, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the room was. They constantly replenished the communal towels, and the lobby had everything you could possibly need, so I was very satisfied with my stay.
