Hotels near Bongguksa Temple, Seoul

Fuss-free check in with friendly service. The hotel room and adjoint toilet were clean and comfortable. The hotel does not provide many services but it was good enough for solo travellers who spend most time outside exploring. Would recommend!

Friendly and helpful staff. Near chungmuro station and 1 stop away from Myeongdong. Easy access pantry and unlimited drinking water. Shower curtain should be added, top cabinet above where cooking used to be done should be remove as it is dangerous. Overall good 👍

We stayed here as a group of six girls! There aren't many hotels that can accommodate six people, so it was very helpful. The room was two bedrooms. 1. Double bed with closet and hangers. 2. Two double beds with closet and shelf for luggage. The closet in room 2 had no place to hang hangers, so it was a little inconvenient. When you opened the door to the entrance, there was no place to put everyone's shoes, so we laid plastic nearby and put our shoes there. There were two refrigerators. We all bought a lot of yogurt and other things, but we were able to fit them in with no problem. However, the refrigerator was in the door next to the table and chairs, so you need to move the chair when opening and closing it. In room 1, we could keep our medium-sized carry-on bags open, but in room 2, we could only fit 2-3 medium and large-sized bags. The front desk staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were very helpful! It was about a 5-minute walk from City Hall Station. It was about a 15-minute walk to Myeongdong. There were Seven-Eleven, Starbucks, Oryang, and a wowpass machine in a nearby hotel, so Rich was very good.

Location: First of all, it was located in front of the bar of Chungmuro Station, so the accessibility was very good! As soon as I got off the station, it was easy to find because it was right there, and it was easy to move to the subway. In addition, there are many food nearby, so I ordered it to be delivered in the evening. At night, I went out with my friends and played in my favorite bar. 🍻 Room interior, cleanliness: First of all, the room stayed in a room for three people, but it was wider than I thought, so three people went to sleep. It was enough, very neat and clean. There was also a table, so it was easy to eat, and it was okay to bring a laptop and see the work! The bathroom is clean and Netflix is available (you need to use your own ID). There is a washing machine, induction, and sink, so you can cook and wash! (I haven't used it, but,) it was just new and tidy because the bathroom was just built. Is it a little unusual that the sink is on the outside? It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't as noisy as Hongdae or Sinchon. It was nice to be quiet at night, not like a noisy downtown area, but because of its good accessibility and location, it was convenient to use public transportation and places to eat or cafes around. It was nice to have a lot! I stayed with my friends, but I think it would be suitable if you are looking for a place to stay for long-distance business trips or business purposes.. !

Location is not tourist friendly as this area seems to like local business place but you got-to enjoy local eateries (remember to download google translate). To my surprise there is a lot of gyms surrounding which includes Crossfit gym just 5 mins walk from this hotel.

Title: A Convenient and Comfortable Stay at Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) During my recent visit to Seoul, I had the pleasure of staying at Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo, and I must say it provided a convenient and comfortable experience. Located in the vibrant Mapo district, the hotel offered easy access to popular attractions and public transportation. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendly and efficient staff at the reception desk. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff members were helpful in providing information about the hotel amenities and local area. They were also accommodating in fulfilling my room preferences and ensuring a pleasant stay. The room I stayed in was clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully designed. The bed was comfortable, and the linens were of good quality, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The room featured modern amenities such as a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge, and a safe for securing valuables. The complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi was reliable and allowed me to stay connected throughout my stay.

This was my first time visited Korea, and I stayed in this hotel on 31 may-5 june 2023. I was got confused on the first time I arrived because I can't find the reception and it was no staff standby to assist and directing. Apparently, the lobby area is on the 4th floor (press L in the lift). The first floor is only the bakery shop and concierge (but nobody was there when I arrived). And no any signage either. The lobby area is modern and has a good interior. All of the staffs are all well mannered, friendly and helpful, some even speak good English. The room size is not too big, but still fair. I like the bathroom with shower head. it was clean and the lighting of the room is good. But unfortunately, the main reason I chose this hotel in this area was because I want to have a room with Han River view. It was named 'Standard Han River View Double Room', so I had a huge expectation it would really provided a good view of Han River. In fact, the building was not directly face to Han River (a little bit cross 45 degree) and was blocked with other higher surrounding buildings. and most disappointing, it doesn't have a full wide window, the window was separated by a thick wall in the middle. (I forget to took a proper photo, so I screenshot from my video to my boyfriend). I asked the staff whether we could have a room with full wide window and he said that all rooms' window configuration are all same. so i feel my hussle was really in vain to intentionally move to another hotel since my previous hotel located much more strategically to my itinerary (and actually has a bigger room size and cheaper -- i consider this is more expensive because of the brand and the location). The hotel location itself is actually very convenience because it has a direct bus stop in front of, and Yongsan station is literally across the hotel. Another good point, it also has 24 hour of coin laundry in the building (cost 3,000 won for laundry and 3,000 won for dryer). u can directly buy the detergen+softener for 1,000 won in the vending machine in the laundry room. Overall besides the Han River disappointing expectation, i can say that my stay experience here was lovely. The cleanliness of room, helpful and fluent English staffs were all great.

In the middle of Hongdae‘s nightlife, you are close to the action. Can be a bit loud on weekends, and I recommend getting rooms further from the bathroom to sleep in peace. Very close to a lot of cool vintage shops, small restaurants, bars and awesome cafés. Staff was nice and spoke English!

Convenient location as it is near the Train and there is a bus stop outside the hotel. Cleaning services are provided daily with complimentary bottles of water. There is also a 24 hr gym available to use.

The environment of the hotel is probably good, and the environment of the hotel rooms is good. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and sometimes a little water flows out during the shower. The room space is large, and it is no problem to open a 75L. There are 2 sofa chairs to sit on. The hotel is surrounded by more tree space. It's just that Guangming is relatively remote, and can be reached by KTX, airport bus, and subway. The pace of life throughout the day is slow, and it feels a bit like retirement life. If you are tired of playing in Seoul, you can experience retirement life in Li Guangming. Please be careful when taking the Line 1 subway, as the subway schedules vary. Not all subway trains arrive at Guangming Station. The surrounding stores close around 2130, so only convenience stores are open at night. There is a large department store nearby, Lotte Mall, which you can visit. Please pay attention to the store's business hours. Attached are 2 station timetables, the first one: from Gwangmyeong to Yeongdeungpo, the second one: from Yeongdeungpo to Gwangmyeong Station.
