THEZIP Hotel

Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay at theZip Hotel very much. It was conveniently located between 2 train stations, a 1 min walk to Sinchon Station and a 4 min walk to Sogang University Station. Plus it was a quick 15 min walk to Sogang University where my son is going to school for the semester. We were very impressed with how well maintained the property is and how convenient the shared kitchen is with all the amenities you need. And even better if you make arrangements before hand, you can drop your...

I stayed for a week and had a great time. The owner was very nice and his staff were great! The location was far from the tourists places but you can easily figure out how to get there by subway. Hongdae is also walking distance from this hostel where you can experience the nightlife. There is a market close by called Mapjeong where you can enjoy local food. Mapo Dumpling is close and it is open 24 hours with $3 ramen soup to cure your hangover. It is across Tous Les Jours which is also a great...

The check-in staff was unattentive, not very hospitable and didn’t give us much information, just answered our questions. We asked for city view room, but our room was facing a back alley of a building. Other than that, our stay was amazing. Our room was super clean, beds were very comfy, the cleaning ladies and staffs during breakfast were very friendly & attentive. The location was great too. Walking distance to many places.

The breakfast provided was excellent and very filling. The instant coffee was good and they give new fresh towels every morning, you just need to ask. The blankets are fluffy and warm. You can dry your clothes at a portable drying line. There is also a very deep tub and the shower system is well maintained. It is also very close to various forms of transportation like buses and trains. And this place is very quiet and you can’t hear your neighbors that much. If you ask they will watch over your...

We loved this hotel! My friend and I stayed for two weeks and felt very safe during our stay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the window view was amazing! The room was a quiet which we appreciated. We loved the Christmas decorations which made the hotel look beautiful. I will mention that the room was a little hot. A receptionist informed us that during the winter, the AC cannot be turned on (understandably), and only heat can be turned on/off. Our room was 26C/80F with the...
