MMomo on the roadSolaria Hotel Review
Cleanliness:
The hotel is absolutely clean. Rooms are cleaned every two days, but fresh towels are provided daily in a basket left at your door, which I found very convenient.
Staff & Services:
The staff are very friendly and cheerful. I requested an extra blanket, and housekeeping delivered it within just five minutes—very responsive and efficient service.
Location:
Excellent location right in the heart of Myeongdong shopping street. It’s only a 5-minute walk to the airport bus station (6001/6015), making it very convenient for travelers.
Room Layout:
I really liked that the toilet and shower are in separate rooms. This made it much more convenient for me and my partner to get ready at the same time.
Added Value:
As a coffee lover, I really appreciated that Nespresso capsules were refilled and restocked every day—a great added touch!
Summary:
Overall, I had a great experience at Solaria Hotel and would highly recommend it.
KkalistaaSecond time staying here and unfortunately, they’re current undergoing renovations so it’s a bit inconvenient having to walk down to the ground floor to reach the side entrance. The room itself is still nice and service is impeccable. Location is convenient for when you want to explore Myeongdong but walking to the subway station takes around 10-15 minutes.
GGuest UserSound insulation is not very good, but thanks to the counter staff for helping to deal with the noise problem immediately.
The location is super convenient, Located in the business district, next to the subway station, the pick-up point for one-day activities is also nearby.
Good thing is you can take out the breakfast if you’re trip start very early. The buffet start at 6:30.
GGuest UserGood: location was very close to the main wholesale malls and there are restaurants opening 24hrs nearby.
Bad: front desk staff (the female staff who was in the night shift on 18-May) was unfriendly. We wanted to order fried chicken using the phone but we cannot understand what the owner was talking so we asked her if she could help with the ordering (meaning translate for us while we order). She was so rude to say we had to order by ourselves... At last, we managed to seek her help for the translation over the phone, but she was really unhelpful and kept frowning at us .
GGuest UserIt was easy to get to because there is a direct airport bus to the hotel.
The room was pretty clean, just some hairs in the shower, but the rest was very clean. For a price of 26€/night for 2 people it is an unbeatable room in Seoul. Would return.
Ffei81I love the interior of my room. It was small but it doesn’t feel small. I can easily store my 2 big luggage there. I am satisfied with the cleanliness. Bed was comfortable. Room temperature is easily modified. Bathroom is quite small but acceptable. There were only 6 rooms in 1 floor. The cafe on 19th floor is worth to visit. My complain was : every morning around 7 AM, the cleaning ladies talked too loud to each other so they disturbed my beauty sleep. But i still recommend this hotel.
CCherfyingThough the hotel is a bit old, the facilities provided are enough for a pleasant stay.
Besides, hotel staff is nice, there is a microwave in lobby, and free water and coffee being provided.
The location is convenient, within walkable distance to 2 metro stations (of line 2 and 4), so that it is easy to access to other places.
AAnonymous UserI had an amazing stay at Hostel Seven Seoul! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with any questions or recommendations. The hostel itself is super clean, cozy, and well-maintained. I loved the comfortable beds and the thoughtful little touches like privacy curtains and lockers in the dorm rooms.
The location is perfect — just a short walk from public transportation, great cafes, restaurants, and some of Seoul’s coolest neighborhoods. It’s also a peaceful spot, so I could really relax after a day of exploring the city. The common area is a great place to meet other travelers and share experiences.
Overall, Hostel Seven Seoul felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, and convenient place to stay in Seoul!
