"お勧めはしません。夏に泊まった時、部屋に無数の虫が沸いています。ゴキブリの赤ちゃんもいました。部屋に入るまでもホテル自体に虫が多いし、匂いも厳しいです。虫が大丈夫な人なら、価格は安いので泊まるメリットはあるでしょう。立地は明洞通りなどが近くにありアクセスは非常にいいです。"

Loft13 Hostel

Hongdae

"I had a great stay at Loft13 Hostel! It was an excellent value for the price. The hostel was very clean, and everything was well maintained. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I also really appreciated having access to the washer and dryer, which was so convenient during my trip. As a bonus, the city views from the windows were beautiful, especially at night. I would definitely stay here...

Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super helpful and nice."

Glad Mapo

8/10 Good

"Hotel very conveniently located right next to subway entrance. Walking distance to a restaurant and bar street in the area. Room is spacious and clean. However, some of the amenities in the room feel like they r falling apart. Shower drain doesn’t work properly, makeup mirror is water stained and wobbly, back-panel for under the sink cabinet fell off. Electric outlets in the room are a hit and miss too."

Lotte Hotel World

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at this location twice during my vacation in Korea. Both stays were great over all but the second room was a bit less clean and not enough amenities such as a toilet paper and a tissue. However, every staff was still kind and very attentive with guests’ needs. Thank you very much and I would like to stay here again for my next visit."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Tout était très propre, déjeuner excellent, personnel très gentil, les commodités dans la chambre j’aurais aimé une machine à café et des vrai verres et un peu de vaisselle à disposition et la salle de bain est un peu petite mais très fonctionnelle. Somme tout c’est un très bon hôtel très près du métro gros plus."
