Gaming & Esports Hotels in Seoul

The neatness of the new building and the kindness of the staff of the express hotel class meet, and I would like to be the first place among the accommodations I visited this year ❤️

I stayed here again because I had such a good experience last time. It's close to Gimpo Airport, only about a 15-minute taxi ride away. The room was smaller than the one I booked previously, but it was still comfortable. I did notice some hair on the towels and sheets, and there were food crumbs from the previous guest on the floor, which was a bit off-putting, but considering the low price, I suppose it's understandable. It would be perfect if the cleaning was a bit more thorough.

This hotel offers incredible value for money, seriously the best I've found in my dozen-plus trips to Korea! The front desk has self-service bottled water, tissues, coffee, and even contact lens solution. The room has a smart toilet and enough space for two large suitcases. The Incheon Airport bus 6007 takes you directly near the hotel, and it's about a 5-minute walk from there. Getting around by public transport is super convenient, as long as you're patient enough to figure out the local maps. A taxi to Gimpo Airport is only about 20 minutes and costs around ₩80,000 (roughly $80 USD). The hotel is located in an alley, so I wouldn't recommend it for solo female travelers, but it's perfectly fine if you're with a group. The room wasn't spotlessly clean, but the bedding was great, and while the shower didn't have a separate wet/dry area, the water quality was excellent – showers and hair washes felt really good. For ₩30,000-₩40,000 a night, this hotel truly is a fantastic deal!

The hotel was conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Cheongnyangni Station, with no hills to navigate. However, the area gets a bit quiet at night, and a solo female traveler might find it a little unsettling. The room itself was clean and comfortable. I particularly liked that I could watch YouTube and Netflix on the TV. Although I didn't use it, the communal space on the first floor seemed very convenient, offering milk, cereal, instant ramen, and a coffee machine, plus a microwave. One thing that concerned me was when I first turned on the shower, brown water came out, which was quite a shock. It ran clear after a bit. Also, I had trouble with the self-check-in and ended up having to use the intercom button for assistance. It might be challenging if you don't speak Korean. Finally, to get to the guest rooms on the second floor and above, you have to use an external staircase, which was a bit difficult with large luggage.

I appreciated the self-check-in option late at night, and checking out was as simple as leaving the room card in the designated spot. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Hongdae by bus, but the buses are frequent. The room itself was spacious. For the price, I think it was definitely worth it. There are more than three convenience stores nearby, along with some BBQ restaurants. A Daiso is just a 10-minute walk away, and in the mornings, there's a market and supermarket that are great for browsing and have good prices. Overall, I felt it was excellent value for money.

Location is a bit out of the way for food options especially cafes and at night
