This is a love hotel.
I booked a last minute room to take a quick trip to Seoul with my mom. The price was reasonable, and it in a good location (near Seoul Station and Namdaemun Market). I found out quickly that this place is what I've learned is called a "Love Hotel". First, they didn't check my ID or any verification, other than just confirming the name on the reservation before handing me a key. Second, the room was worn down and dirty, and fairly chilly. The walls were stained, there was mold all over the bathroom, and a generous used bar of soap and toothpaste were available on the sink. Apparently the heat is controlled by the rusty pipes located behind the toilet. As gross as that sounds (and it was) I tried to mess with them to at least make the room warmer, no luck. The walls were super thin. We heard every occupied room having sex. I could hear the rooms even at the end of the hallway...mostly because the women scream at the top of their lungs. And to be honest, it doesn't sound like they're super happy to be there. Needless to say, we barely slept. It was freezing, we didn't want to touch anything, and the noises never stopped until sometime before checkout. At least we can look back and laugh at the awkwardness now...gross. haha

Friendly staff, but horrible experience.
Our experience was underwhelming. 1) The rooms were at a minimum tidy and clean, however, something about the place just didn't feel sanitary. You could see the swirl marks from the mopping on the laminate flooring, and some hair from the previous guests did remain. 2) This is Korea, so normally you'd expect that cleaning staff would smile or at least greet you in the hallway. My guess by appearance and by lack of professional deportment is that the cleaning staff were Chinese (so are the day and night attendants, although they are fluent in English, Korean, as well as Chinese; which leads to my next comment). 3. The Chinese guests in the room next to our and the one next down from theirs were loud up until 4am. My partner needed to go to work the next morning, and she was unable to get proper sleep. They kept their doors open as they packed their prized Korean cosmetics and fraternized loudly, laughing, shouting, having intercourse etc. When I complained to the front attendant, he tried to speak to them, but the guests became irate and aggressive. One made a passing comment that if I wanted peace and quiet that I should stay at a better hotel. He then muttered under his breath to his girlfriend that it was probably because we didn't have money. I do need to mention, however, that the staff were very polite and courteous and did everything they could to attempt to rectify the problem and to express their regret for the quality of our stay.

Stayed in a 3rd floor twin room for one night. The hotel is good but nothing special. The location is good for the city centre and not too far from buses and subway but it is near some slightly shady establishments. The room was an ok size and the bedroom fixtures were good but the bathroom could really do with an update, it looked very dated. The air con worked very well, the bed was comfy and there was a kettle in the room - all big plus points. However it is a budget hotel, so as long as you come with reasonable expectations you will be fine.

Central Seoul hotel
Hotel Tong was in a brilliant location at an extraordinary price. Walking distance from many main tourist attractions it was great to know I could always easily get back. The staff were kind and helpful with my requests, sometimes they appeared unapproachable but as soon as you said hi they were ready to help. The room was spacious and clean. Unfortunately the beds were extremely hard, causing lack of sleep. Also the bath was far too small to have a comfortable bathe in. This was easy to overlook given the location, definitely check out the roof in the evening and peer to the left! Many thanks!

Great value and near many attractions
The hotel is in a great location within walking distance of many attractions. Would stay here again. We stayed in a triple room and it was fairly small, but for the price it was excellent. Internet was included in our rate and it was a strong connection. Note that it is located in a narrow street off the main street. Read the directions on the hotel's website and you should be fine locating it.

Great location, below average rooms
Great location--you're minutes away from City Hall subway station and food is aplenty near the hotel. However, on the third night of my stay I woke up with bug bites just above my ankles. Other people in my party did not have the same experience. Reception desk is okay--they can provide limited recommendations on where to eat and how to get to sightseeing locations. Nothing was done above and beyond though. Room size is okay. Bathroom was a bit surprising since the shower did not have a tub nor screen--the water can splash into the sink area (maybe I'm just not familiar with Korean hotels).

Great location, very clean and comfortable
I stayed in a windowless room, which was fine. Although it was a little difficult to find (taxi drivers struggle) it is an excellent hotel, very clean and relaxing with very friendly staff. The only improvement I would suggest is an extractor fan for the bathroom as it fogged up quickly during a shower, and also a shower curtain as there was none. The neighbourhood is absolutely great for food and a drink, being next to Restaurantg Alley, and also has both Namdaemum market and City Hall as well as Seoul Station and the city centre very close by. In general, however, it was very good and I would not hesitate to stay again and recommend.

Recommended Hotel, worth for value
The hotel is just nearby the airport bus station which is very convenience by taking airport bus 6005. There is nothing to criticise as the hotel equipped with all the basic necessities equivalent to the hotel rate. Very clean and the bed is comfortable. Small issue would be the room is relatively small but still comfortable. Very near to City Hall Subway station and 10 minutes walking distance to Myeondong street. There are many cafes around the hotel like Cafe Pascuci, Paris Baguette, Holys Cafe and many stalls around the hotel street. Overall is a good hotel and worth to stay.

Modern hotel near Namdaemun markets
We were hoping to visit the local markets during our brief stay in Seoul, and Hotel Tong is located right at the edge. The location allowed us to walk to several clothing, dry goods, and other small shops. Hotel Tong is accessible from the Hoehyeon station of the # 4 Line of the subway, just one stop from Seoul Station where the KTX train comes through. The prices were great for all rooms, and Expedia even got us a discount (effectively a free upgrade). The room has nice decorations, green tile bathroom, coffee maker, wireless internet per room, and I think the floors were heated!

One of the stuff was very nice. He suggested the best transportation (airport bus) to the airport. He spoke fluent English and helped me to search the bus schedule. The room was really small. Just enough to open 2 luggage. You won't want to stay in the hotel room to chill. The location is quite good, 10mins walk to myeongdong. The room won't be cleaned if you don't ask them to. Even we asked everyday, they missed the cleaning once.

食事・カフェに不便のない立地
ホテルからは南大門も市庁も歩ける距離で飲食店、カフェ(チェーン系)が多く不便はありませんでした。駅もバス停も近いので移動にも便利。明洞にも歩いて行けます。 24時間対応フロントのためチェックイン前、チェックアウト後の荷物預けも頼みやすいし、日本語が少しですが話せるスタッフもいて安心。セキュリティ面でも不審者がホテル内に侵入することも無さそうです。ただ、部屋の鍵が危なっかしい簡易鍵でした。 シングル1泊を予約。窓付の部屋をリクエスト。しかし、空きがあったのか、窓付のツインになりました。チェックイン時に歯ブラシセットを受け取ります。 部屋は写真と違ってだいぶボロい。バスルームは清掃が追いつかないのか、水浸しのまま(笑)床には結構髪の毛が落ちまくってました。ベッドメイキングも時間に追われてたのかな?ホテルのロゴが内側だったり、頭側にあったり(笑) このエリアでこのプライスで宿泊できるなら文句無しですね。大きめのテレビと冷蔵庫もついているんですもの。ドライヤー(だいぶレトロ)と電気ポット、ボトルウォーター2本。お茶やインスタントコーヒーも置いてあります。 入室時にキーを差し込むとおそらく電源ONに連動してオンドルも入ります。窓付にしてよかった。暑がりなので窓を開けて温度調節。 廊下や近くの部屋で大声を出されると聞こえます。実際それで目が覚めたのは事実…まぁ仕方ない。 この立地でこの価格はコスパはいいかも。 衛生面や騒音?気になる人はどうかな?といった感じです。
