Seoul Motels

The hotel is conveniently located near Sinchon subway station and Yonsei University. The surrounding alleys make for a quiet environment. My family and I arrived around 3-4 PM to drop off our luggage, then went shopping. We returned to the hotel around 7 PM and relaxed for a bit at the self-service bar on the first floor. The self-service bar was very convenient; you could get cold water, iced water, and hot water, and disposable plastic cups and straws were provided. I bought some drinks and used the hotel's ice machine to add ice, and even made some instant noodles, haha! There were also seats next to the self-service bar for guests to relax. After sitting for a while, around 9:30 PM, a staff member informed us that we could check in. The hotel provides disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste at the front desk, which is quite hygienic. Although the room isn't huge, it's well-equipped and even includes a universal adapter for guests to use. I only took a picture of the bar, but all in all, it was a good stay. I would choose this place again next time I visit Korea! 😊

Perhaps because it was self-check-in, I didn't receive the amenity bag mentioned in other reviews. Maybe you get one if you check in at the counter? Near the entrance, there's coffee and a microwave, which is a great amenity for coffee drinkers or those who get takeout. Pros: * Self-check-in is available. You can select Japanese, so it's easy to use. * Water is in the fridge, but also near the entrance, and you can grab more yourself if you run out. * Body towels are provided in the room. * Multiple charging outlets are located by the bed. * Lots of restaurants nearby. * There's a bathtub. * Instructions for using the air conditioning are posted in the elevator. Things that bothered me or were disappointing: * When I got off the elevator, the door to my room was open. Since anyone can ride the elevator (it works without a key card, meaning anyone can enter and ride it), for security reasons, I'd really like the doors to be kept closed. Just in case, I checked under the bed and behind the curtains. That's when I found a bag under the bed, possibly left by the previous guest. * I was hoping to watch Netflix, but the remote didn't respond after dozens of presses, so I gave up on Netflix and YouTube and watched on my own phone instead.

It was a nice love motel, the host lady was really sweet and helpful, she was ready to provide us all the necessary information if needed. The rooms were good, two of them were bigger sizes (of course the price was different so that's fine), one even contained a massage chair and bad. It was so cool to return after a long walking day and lay on the chair. The location is not very convenient, but we got used to travelling a lot in our trip so that wasn't so much of a problem. There are a lot of delicious cafes around, some of them even work after midnight or even all night. Thank you for a nice stay!

We stayed at this hotel from August 10th to 17th. Location-wise, it's a 50-minute commute to the city center. Check-in is done via a machine, so don't expect a smiling face or a warm welcome wishing you a pleasant stay. Not a huge deal, though. The room isn't cleaned during your stay, as the owner (an elderly gentleman) informed us. However, towels were changed twice, and toiletries were replenished. The bed was quite firm, which wasn't ideal after long walks until midnight, but it only bothered us for the first 15 minutes before we'd drift into a deep sleep. The air conditioning works well, and so does the extractor fan. The panoramic windows really add to the hotel's appeal. Overall, I'd give it 2 stars, which is what it's rated.

Team was very friendly and accommodating, had a flight delay causing me to arrive at the hotel at 3am. I called when I got to Incheon airport and they reassured me there would be someone there to help me in checking in. The room itself, including the tables and furniture were a bit dated but still great for a budget travelling. Rooms is of decent size. Breakfast is provided but nothing too fancy, boiled eggs, toast, cereal etc.

It was nice that they let us take one drink per person, and the room was spacious and clean, which was nice😍 The staff were all very friendly! It was such a great experience that my Japanese friend said he wanted to stay here again when he comes to Korea❤️ I'm glad you made good memories.

I recently stayed at a hotel in Itaewon, Seoul, and it was genuinely an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were welcoming, the rooms were spotless, and the location couldn’t have been better. Being right in the heart of Itaewon meant I was just steps away from some of the best lamb skewers I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, smoky, and cooked right in front of you. The nightlife in the area was also a highlight, with a mix of cozy bars, lively clubs, and late-night food spots that kept the energy going well past midnight. One of the most unexpected and oddly charming parts of the neighborhood was the occasional guinea pig scurrying around the side streets, adding a quirky touch to the experience. Overall, this hotel made my stay in Seoul unforgettable, and I’d happily return on my next trip.

This hotel is just right for a 2-3 night stay. My check-in was scheduled for 5 PM, but when I asked if I could store my luggage, they actually let me check in at 3 PM. The nearest major station is Gangnam, so getting around by bus is quite convenient. If you have a lot of luggage, I'd recommend taking a taxi. Given the hilly area, a combination of bus and taxi would be ideal. I chose a standard double room, which is perfect for those who prefer showers. The only minor issue was a slight cigarette smell.

It was my first time in Korea during the National Day holiday. I traveled with friends for a few days, and then they returned home. As a solo female traveler, I saw the price was decent, so I casually booked this hotel for two nights without much research. Once confirmed, it couldn't be canceled! This hotel is only suitable for a one-night layover, not for shopping or leisure tourists. I'll break down the pros and cons below. Also, you can find this hotel's address on China's Gaode Maps and Uber can get you there, but surprisingly, South Korea's local Naver Maps couldn't find the hotel name... Unless they improve their luggage policy, or if you only have a backpack, otherwise, tourists should look elsewhere. Price Pros: Compared to other options nearby during the National Day holiday, the price of this hotel was acceptable to me, around 290-300 per night. No other pros come to mind. Transportation Pros & Cons: ❌ It's quite far from the subway. The nearest subway station is Sinseol-dong Station on Line 1, a 10-minute walk. If you're not good at using Korea's Naver Maps, don't just walk, because I once got lost... ❣️ Taking the bus is more convenient. The nearest bus stop is just dozens of meters away: Bomun-dong Community Center. From there, take one stop to Sinseol-dong Station Crossroads, and then take the subway from Sinseol-dong Station on Line 1. ❌ Check-in time: If you arrive early, you can't check in early. You need to check in at 7 PM and check out by 12 PM the next day. If you check out after 12 PM, you'll be charged separately for the extra time. Also, no matter how many nights you've booked, by 12 PM the next day, you have to pack your luggage and take it with you. Then, you re-check in at 7 PM that evening. If you store your luggage at the hotel, there's an extra charge, and it's not cheap – you could book a decent hotel for that price. Having to take my luggage with me was a major pain; I stayed two nights and dragged my luggage around for a whole day, it was exhausting. Environment and Hygiene: I used my own towels and toothbrushes, not the hotel's. Rooms on the third floor are quite small. For those with no other options, choose a larger room on the fifth floor. Also, there's no deadbolt chain on the door, which made me, as a woman, feel a bit unsafe. Later, I read other reviews and it seems this hotel might be a couple's 'love hotel'? That would explain the different check-in times and luggage rules...

This hotel’s facilities were outdated. The heating system was confusing to operate and the room was extremely hot. There was also a strong smell of cigarette smoke. If you are considering choosing this hotel, I recommend researching it carefully.
