Seoul Yongsan-gu Hotels

Stayed here 6D in April 2025. Very nice rooms with great views of Namsan or Han River. Staff were very attentive and can converse in English. Rooms with twin beds faced Namsan (north-east). Rooms with double beds faced Han River(south-west). Nearby ET Land shopping centre (5mins walk) is a haven for AV, Electronic, mobile phones, home appliances. 5-7mins walk to Yongsan Station & IPARK Mall have many food & shopping options. Tap card access to floors provides safety & peace of mind.

The stay was ok, except that the ice bucket and cup was left uncleared. Location was great, connected to Yongsan station via a sheltered walkway. Take exit 3 towards Seoul Dragon City and take the lift to level 1 to the lobby. Nice cafes and restaurants in the Sin Yongsan area by bus.. Back to the hotel - the concierge tagged my bags to another name. I had to unlock my tablet with my fingerprint to prove it's my bag.. (my fault for losing the ticket and yay for security). 🤣

Spending a night in a room fully decorated with Cinnamoroll—would it be worth it? I expected it would be, and so I booked the Cinnamoroll character room at Novotel Suites Ambassador Yongsan. My child was even happier than I had imagined, and we were able to enjoy a truly relaxing time together. The swimming pool was a bit small, but since there weren’t many people at the time we used it, we were able to enjoy a peaceful swim. The food package included in the Cinnamoroll room package was perfect for our hungry post-swim time. It tasted great and came with pizza, steak, salad, and drinks—an excellent combination. However, despite booking for two adults and one child, the room was only prepared for two people in terms of towels, slippers, and bottled water. That lack of attention to detail was a bit disappointing. Also, the robe and plush toy provided as part of the Cinnamoroll amenities weren’t packed in anything, which made them inconvenient to carry. It would be great if the hotel could consider things more from the guest's perspective.

The hotel location was perfect for a city trip. The direct connection to the Seoul station was extremely convenient and many locations were in walking distance. The view from our hotel room was quite good.

I stayed here for a night out in Seoul with a close friends from high school, and his wife meeting up in Asia. As always, when staying at the Grand Hyatt, you end up not having a “night out” but rather a “night in” because the amenities at the hotel are spectacular. The live band in the lobby bar, the pool turned into the Girbaud ice skating rink, amazingly cooked steakhouse, the indoor pool, etc etc. We had a great night, and once again, when staying at any Grand Hyatt, you never know who you’ll run into. On this occasion, we had run into solo artist/actor Mr Henry Lau, also from Super Junior, and was he was not only kind enough to take a quick photo with my friend’s wife, but I messed up the photo—and after learning I had bumbled the photo during her opportunity to meet one of her k-pop idols—was willing to take another entire series of photos. The staff ended up helping me with a medical emergency in the middle of the night and stayed very calm during the entire process. Which I will also report to the company directly. When traveling to Korea—Seoul, Jeju, etc. and anywhere abroad I often stay at the Grand Hyatt in the King Corner Suite. Such a beautiful room, but on this occasion it was just a normal King River view on 9F. A bit small for 3 people, but they made a sofa bed for me while I gave the couple the bed since I only grabbed the room for us (me) for a few hours before I head back to Wuhan—allowing my friends to enjoy the hotel to themselves after I departed. Easy checkout process for them. It was very nice. Will definitely be back. Grand Hyatt ＜3 !

This is a beautiful hotel, conveniently located with easy access to Itaewon-dong neighborhood and a short taxi drive from the city centre. The rooms aren’t too big but they are clean, modern and comfortable. The swimming pool, spa and gym are nice although you only get one “complimentary” access during your stay, which is not great for a 5 star hotel. Staff were very helpful and nice, they were very good with us.

The best about this hotel was location, super convenient if you need to be close to Seoul station and also many food places to choose from within just 2-5 mins walk, and the convenience store just downstairs. The hotel is not at the Seoul station itself but just 1 stop away, and the station has an elevator entrance right in front of the hotel. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The premises are just ok, but the room itself is oddly designed, despite the name of the hotel “the Designers Hotel”. The room switches are not located near the bed and electricity sockets are lacking. The bathroom is designed in a way that if you are taking shower, the water will flow by the toilet and the sink. The bed is ok, the pillows could be better. Overall I would give it 7.5 out of 10. I would not be able to stay here for more than 3 days, but if you are in a business trip for 1-2 days and on a budget, but need a convenient location near the transportation hub, it is a good choice.

fantastic stay, great big and clean room. nice view of the city and even the N Seoul Tower. service was good but have to call concierge regarding clening up of room. location is slightly far from the nearest Yongsan train station (about 10mins walk). Yongsan station is connected to I'park mall which have many of the big shopping brands. overall it's worth the price that we paid for.

This hotel is good quality for the price I paid. The double bedrooms are up to a good standard and the bathrooms are modern and spacious. I did not sample the breakfast. However, the only issue is that this hotel has one working lift. They need to fix the other lift because waiting for the lift can take time. Great location and I would stay here again!

Great hotel to stay. The room was big and well equipped. Staffs from reception were very friendly and helpful. The fitness room & sauna were fantastic! I’m looking forward to my next stay now.
