★★★★ 8.5 (1,075 reviews)

"The place is very nice overall, with great amenities and a comfortable setup. I especially appreciated having a washing machine and a space to dry clothes, which made a big difference during my long stay. However, I found it quite odd that the kitchenette was essentially non-functional. I understand there may be fire safety regulations in Korea, but it still felt strange that there were no basic items provided, not even a plate or a spoon. On the positive side, the shower was excellent, and the TV was modern and easy to use, I was able to download all the apps I needed without any issues. The heating system also worked perfectly, and the cleanliness was spotless throughout my stay. That said, there were a few inconveniences. The smoking announcement played twice a day in three languages, which became quite annoying over time. I understand the importance of enforcing non-smoking rules and I’m also very sensitive to smells, but the repeated loud announcements can be disruptive, especially when trying to rest or work. Another point is that there’s usually no staff at reception. I didn’t mind the self check-in process, it was actually quite easy, but when I did try to ask a question to the staff member who was present (handling check-in cards), she was quite impolite and unwilling to help. As a foreigner, I found this particularly discouraging. I was doing my best to communicate, and she didn’t make any effort to assist, even something as simple as connecting via KakaoTalk, which I had installed specifically for communication. Lastly, I would suggest providing more toilet paper and tissues, especially for longer stays."

"Stayed at a luxury double room in the new complex. The room was clean and spacious. The service was good and the staff were polite and efficient. The hotel is close to a metro station, and local and airport bus stops are nearby. One disappointment was that they charge for the use of gym, which should be free for hotel guests."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MAPO Hotels in Seoul

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MAPO

"Cons: 1. Staying on the fourth floor, right outside the elevator is the swimming pool. The chlorine and disinfectant smell from the pool was really unpleasant and strong. I think other floors should be fine though. 2. My room, 416, was a corner unit, so when I opened the curtains, I could see the road. The glass insulation wasn't great, and I could clearly hear the car noise from outside! The room layout was irregular, and the bed faced a mirror at an angle. 3. There are no outlets by the bedside table!!! There are outlets on the desk though, no need for an adapter 😂 Pros: 🥰 Super convenient for going to the airport! The airport line to Gongdeok Station only takes an hour. 😍 The hotel is right above the subway, making travel incredibly convenient. You can reach various shopping areas, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and more within 25 minutes. The hotel's B1 level connects directly to the subway, so you don't even need to go outside. 😝 There's a Lotte Supermarket on the hotel's B1 level, and a large E-Mart (like a Korean Sam's Club, a huge supermarket where locals shop, with all sorts of food, daily necessities, and fruits – and you can get tax refunds!) is about 300 meters away. Sushi and fried chicken often go on sale after about 9 PM, usually around 30% off. 🤩 There are tons of great places to eat near the hotel. I highly recommend the Seolleongtang (ox bone soup)! I ate it for three mornings straight! The radishes at the restaurant were incredibly delicious! 😊 There are four Olive Young stores near the hotel! Perfect for restocking! You can just buy everything and bring it straight back to the hotel, freeing up your hands. 🤗 The room cleaning was excellent. The hotel provides shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, and hand soap. The toiletries smell amazing!!! And the quality is good too. I really want to buy the same products to take home. The bathroom is spacious with a bathtub and a bidet toilet! 😇 The front desk service was also very good, although there was no Chinese service. For me, with decent English, communication wasn't a big problem. You need to swipe a Visa card when checking in. All in all, I'll likely stay here again next time, but I'll definitely choose a room not on the fourth floor and not facing the road!"

Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon by Aank Hotels in Seoul

Nouvelle Seoul Hotel Itaewon by Aank

"I do not recommend this hotel at all — save your money and stay somewhere else. The neighborhood is terrible and feels unsafe, especially after dark. It’s extremely loud all night long, with lots of suspicious-looking people wandering around and many drunk individuals causing noise right outside. For a room booked for two people, we only got one shower towel. We stayed four nights, and the room was cleaned only once — and only because we asked for it. To make things even worse, the power sockets in the room are shattered and broken. Plugs keep falling out nonstop; you have to hold them by hand the entire time just to keep them in place, which made it impossible to charge any phones or devices properly. The breakfast is extremely basic: the coffee machine was broken, many food trays were empty and never refilled. The worst part? I found blood stains from someone else on my blanket, which was disgusting, unsanitary, and completely unacceptable. Overall, the place is dirty, poorly managed, unsafe, and not worth the price. I will never come back and cannot warn people enough to avoid this hotel."

"Traveling to Seoul with a friend, the location was great, and the luggage storage was a huge plus. The self check-in/out was super convenient. Having a separate living room made it even more comfortable. The bedding was so cozy, I slept really well!"

"Self-check-in is a hassle, and you can't drop off your luggage in advance. I waited outside for quite a while, and only managed to drop off my luggage when a maid was cleaning."

H Avenue Hotel Idae Sinchon Hotels in Seoul

H Avenue Hotel Idae Sinchon

"Location: It is conveniently located between 2 train stations: ewha and sinchon. You can take bus 6002 from incheon airport. It is called "limousine bus" and I bought a return ticket on Klook (not sponsored). Really convenient. You just have to show your booking at the ticket counter in the airport to exchange both to and fro tickets. Tip: know in advance which stop you are boarding because the counter staff will ask in order to prepare your return ticket. Regarding the train station, I prefer going to ewha because it feels like a shorter walk. Tip: alight at ewha station when coming back so that you are walking downhill to the hotel rather than up. Highly recommended to have a short stroll around the neighbourhood and you will find many food options, convenience stores, laundromat etc. Oh, there's a small mini-mart just beside the hotel, and it operates 24 hrs! There's a CU behind the hotel, and beside it is a laundromat (both are just a minute's walk from the hotel). Cleanliness: Huge shout out to the house-keeping staff for cleaning my room on a daily basis. The only downside is that I get a bit itchy when lying on the bed.  Service: Front desk staff are professional and helpful. They speak english, so no worries. They provide weighing scale too. They also provide free baggage storage before you check in and after you check out, so that you don't have to roam around with your luggage (at least that is the case during my stay). Facilities: Facilities are good, and I have not experienced any inconvenience. Useful items I have used: mini fridge (oh yes, they provide bottled water everyday),  closet with hangers, hair dryer, they surprisingly have 2 x type G sockets, which rendered my adapters useless XD (but am grateful for the convenience, not sure if this is the case for every room), have a smart tv which you can watch youtube, netflix etc, remote control turns on/off the light (just a reminder), there is hot water dispenser and microwave in the lounge, so you can cook instant noodles. Oh and the room is so spacious for a solo traveller. Overall, really pleasant stay! Oh man, I miss this place and seoul:') THANK YOU"

"The environment is great and the cleanliness is excellent. All the staff, whether at the front desk or those who replied to my emails, were very nice. They also had two brands of hairdryers in the shower room, Dyson and Unix. I fell in love with Unix after using it, and when I emailed them after checking out to ask for the model number, the staff kindly replied. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the model they mentioned after searching for a few days."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG ★★★★
"The housekeeping was satisfactory, but I didn't feel the hotel lived up to its advertised standards otherwise. The location is great, but you need to have serious hypnotic abilities, otherwise, you'll hear karaoke every night and construction starting at 6 AM. It sounds like this construction project won't be finished for at least a year and a half, haha. I tried to book a room away from the construction a month in advance, but couldn't get one. I guess I brought it on myself."

"Taking a bus from the stop right in front of the hotel gets you straight to Myeongdong Station in just 10 minutes. And the hotel features an excellent bathtub! It is not a 5 star hotel-there is no breakfast and nothing fancy, but it offers facilities that are sufficiently clean and modern, a great location, and quite stylish interiors. There is a Toyoko Inn right nearby, and when I go on a business trip to an unfamiliar area, I often stay at Toyoko Inn or APA Hotel just to avoid the hassle of searching. However, this hotel is a much more cost-effective choice if you are in Dongdaemun."
