Seoul Hotels with Balcony

The hotel was very clean. It's right above Hongdae's walking street, and the soundproofing was good – not noisy at all. The guests were a mix of foreigners, Chinese, and Southeast Asians. The only downside was the room size; my 26-inch suitcase couldn't open fully, but a 22-inch one would be fine. We had to fully open one suitcase and half-open the other in the wardrobe area near the door. Then, at 12:17 PM, before we even went downstairs to check out, the front desk called and said, 'You need come down right now!' So, we rushed downstairs. As for smoking, during the day, there were many young people gathered at the intersection near the hotel entrance, so we joined them. At night, you could just smoke freely in front of the hotel – no one bothered you.

Located in the bustling Myeongdong area, but you'll have to walk a few hundred meters to catch a taxi. Other than that, everything was pretty good. The outlets support Korean, Japanese, and Chinese plugs, so charging laptops and phones was no problem. The hotel has a more Japanese feel. For business trips, I still have to bring a converter since the company only uses Korean outlets.

It’s a boutique-sized hotel, but the location, interior design, in-room amenities, and service were all outstanding. First off, the location is fantastic. It’s convenient for getting around and not far from most major attractions. Plus, it's right near Gwangjang Market, a lively spot packed with all kinds of authentic local street food, which was super convenient. The decor features a modern industrial vibe, decorated with photos of various jazz bands and musicians—very stylish, which I really liked. Even though the room was on the smaller side, the layout was well-thought-out and functional. For instance, the shower had an overhead rainfall head, a handheld sprayer, and smooth hot/cold controls that were easy to switch between. The water pressure was strong and steady, making for a truly refreshing shower. Our room also had a small balcony with a chair and a little round table—a lovely private nook where I ended up writing most of my travel journal. The service was exceptionally warm and welcoming. The day before our trip, we received a thoughtful email letting us know that shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided, but to pack essentials like a toothbrush and toothpaste. It was super helpful and allowed me to pack light with peace of mind. For breakfast, they offered three complimentary options for the main item (bagel, panini, or ciabatta), all simple, delicious, and satisfying. The owner and the three staff members were all incredibly friendly. The three staff spoke English, making communication a breeze, and they went out of their way to accommodate our small requests, like lending us a travel adapter and heating up milk for us. Even though the owner didn't speak English, he was super warm and enthusiastic, using gestures to recommend lively nearby spots like Gwangjang Market and Dongdaemun. We spent four wonderful nights here. Next time I'm in Seoul, I’ll definitely stay at Hotel Brooklyn Blues again.

Location: The hotel boasts an excellent location, nestled between Myeongdong and Dongdaemun, both within a 20-minute walk. Right outside the hotel is the 6015 airport bus stop, and Euljiro 4-ga subway station is just a 300-meter walk away, with Chungmuro subway station about 800 meters. Public transport access is incredibly convenient. Ambiance: The hotel occupies a standalone building. The front desk is on the second floor, where guests can self-check-in and store their luggage. Guest rooms are located on the floors above. I booked a single room, which was quite small; opening a large suitcase practically filled the available space. Basic amenities in the room were comprehensive, including two universal power outlets, so no adapter was needed. The air conditioning worked well. Cleanliness: Both the sink and the restroom were very clean.

We loved staying here! The hotel service is great. As our departing flight is many hours after check-out, we appreciated the availability to hold our luggages securely FOC while we spent the day at the shops. They have a massage room, free wifi in the lobby & room, 24hr ramen at the lobby & a beautiful outdoor glamping set up area. We received daily room service with complimentary water bottles. The staff are always so helpful and polite. Our room is big enough for our family of 5. Great water pressure and hot water. Appreciate having standard sized bath towels & hairdryer. There’s laundry and dryer facilities (2000won per use), ice and water dispenser on Level 8. There’s a CU supermarket 2 mins away from the hotel. A few mins walk to Gwangjang Market, dried seafood market and subway. We will choose to stay here again when we’re back at Seoul!

Located in Seoul, this hotel is perfect for business trips. The Gangnam city center location is incredibly convenient, and the service is excellent. The room layout is well-designed, and the cleanliness is perfectly fine. Plus, the breakfast spread is fantastic!

There's not much in the way of service in Korea, so that's pretty normal. They can store luggage for you, and at least they don't give you a dirty look, which is a plus. However, this hotel doesn't clean rooms daily. I paid over 1000 and still didn't expect that; they only clean once every four days! The windows in this hotel are designed in a way that lets in a lot of light, so if you're sensitive to light while sleeping, bring an eye mask! Definitely avoid the lower floors, or be sure to bring earplugs! Ctrip's customer service was excellent and kept trying to resolve issues, but there's no negotiating with hotels abroad. So, for places like this, it's better to book through a major platform, otherwise, it can be a really frustrating experience! I found short hairs on the bed in another room, and they actually asked me how I could prove the hair was theirs. All of us have long hair... so, Koreans have a strange way of thinking. If you're a clean freak, you might want to bring your own bedding.

The best place I stayed in Seoul! 100% recommended! The staff was super nice and helped us after a long trip back from Busan during the typhoon. They take your WhatsApp number or Kakao so that they can ask you directly if you need the room to be cleaned or if you don’t want to be disturbed. The room itself is beautiful and we appreciated the view, you also have a dermatology clinic inside and a restaurant/caffeteria. This room is my 10/10!❤️

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel during my trip to Seoul. The hotel was nice and clean, and the check-in process was fast and smooth, which made arrival stress-free. Although the room was a bit small, it was still comfortable enough for 3 people. One of the highlights is the location, there are plenty of food stalls around the hotel, offering authentic local bites without the overwhelming crowds you’d find in Myeongdong. Personally, I found this area much more enjoyable and relaxing. The metro station is just a 3-minute walk away, making it very convenient to explore the city. Travel Tip: From the airport, take the train to Seoul Station (either normal or express), then transfer to the blue line to Chungmuro Station. If you’re carrying luggage, Exit 5 is the best choice since it has an escalator — just walk toward Starbucks. Otherwise, Exit 7 is a quicker option. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient, and well-located stay in Seoul.

Read all the way. When we first arrived, we were not prepared for the location. We came on the night trash goes out the next day. There was trash everywhere on the street and we stayed in a back alley hotel that (at night) looked sketchy as heck. When we got into the lobby, Lee greeted us with the biggest smile and warmth and brought my concern level down. When we asked for universal adapters, he gladly gave us a few. When we asked for more blankets, they hand delivered to the room. Every day they gave us free bottled water, and the hotel has 2 different floors with public bathrooms, so families traveling together can always have a place to 💩. The hotel has an attached bar that serves food, we enjoyed this as well. Drinks were cheap and good. The location was less than a 1 minute walk to the bus and train station. The best pizza place in the city is around the corner ”Records Pizza”. A must go too, we stuck to plain and pepperoni pizza, their specials are an acquired taste. The hotel is full of unique touches everywhere and exploring it was fun. You can people watch from the balcony on the 2nd floor and soak in the night life on nights you don't feel like going back out. After that first night arriving, we felt safe and at home. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
