Hotels in Hannam-dong/Itaewon, Seoul

This hotel is perfect for anyone looking to hit the bars in Itaewon. Just a short stroll down a slight hill, and you'll find all the dining, drinking, and entertainment options right at your fingertips. It's wise not to have overly high expectations for Korean hotel rooms in general. That said, I found this room much quieter than the Hamilton Hotel I'd previously stayed at, allowing me to get a really good night's sleep. The front desk staff weren't exactly warm or effusive, but they were polite and able to help resolve issues.

The hotel's style is modern, creative, and current, so it seems very new. I thought breakfast could have had more options. The hotel isn't in a very walkable spot; it's about a 20-minute walk to Itaewon, and the road is quite steep. Choose this hotel if you care more about the atmosphere and don't mind taking taxis, which are easy to get. Uber is excellent and inexpensive. Most places are a quick 10-15 minute trip.

This is my first booking this hotel and i am really satisfied. The hotel is located just within Itaewon, within the area where the party hubs are located. The room is spacious. The staff were approachable. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay. I shall book again here someday.

It was very clean and comfortable. Due to ventilation issues, the boiler would turn off and the hot water would turn to cold water halfway through, but by opening the window, the boiler would not stop and I was able to use the shower with hot water. The room was very simple and there was no TV, but it was fine because I only went to bed when I was tired from playing. From the entrance, you have to climb a steep staircase. You need to be prepared to go up and down with your luggage, but there are only rooms up to the third floor, so carrying your luggage was not a problem. 　I checked in and out by myself and didn't meet anyone. I emailed them to ask if they wanted to replenish the supplies, and they replied right away, which was helpful. The facilities were just what I needed, and if you're an experienced traveler, you'll be very satisfied with this accommodation. I'd like to stay here again. Although it's close to Itaewon, it wasn't noisy and I was able to sleep soundly.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel. The location is excellent, the entrance is stunning, and check-in was impressively efficient. I was especially impressed by how well the breakfast was organized - a perfect start to each day. The only downside for me was the bathroom design. I'm not a fan of rooms where the bathroom feels like it's been ”inserted” into the space, surrounded by glass and mirrors. It offers little real privacy, and it's hard to avoid your roommate in those moments you might prefer to. At night, the sound of the toilet tank refilling can also be quite loud and lasts for several minutes, which isn't ideal when you're trying to sleep. Aside from that, it's a very good hotel with friendly service and a great location. I'd happily stay here again.

Cleaner than expected.no English speaking person at the reception on the day of check in.no room service but almost every you need is on the room.a little expensive for a night stay but worth it.

The walk from the bus station to the hostel is like climbing a mountain, I hate that I need to take off my shoes every time ,but that understandable bc it’s their culture .but I don’t understand why do I need to keep my bag in the luggage store ,bc it’s big and there is no place in the room . that was really hard for me I need to go down every time to take my clothes downstairs where my bag is at also there is no bed sheet

I extended my stay for another night, and it was still a fantastic experience! This time I had a lower bunk. I highly recommend staying for at least two nights, as it's a great opportunity to meet new people and really immerse yourself in Itaewon's culture. The staff are also very enthusiastic and helpful with their recommendations.

Very close to Itaewon station. I arrived late (around 12am) so they left my key in the locker. Towels are provided. The room has a window but it’s next to one bed and at the end, when the bed is closed with the curtains, there’s no natural sunlight in the room. Overall it’s recommended.
