Mountain View Hotels in Seoul

"Stayed at Myeongdong Merlin Hotel for a short transit and overall it was a good experience. The location is convenient about 15–20 minutes to Myeongdong Night Street, which is great if you want easy access to shopping and food. We arrived quite late (around 10pm) after traveling from Busan and checked out early at 5am to head to ICN airport. Even with the short stay, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, which we really appreciated after a long journey. We were traveling in a big group (18 people), and the hotel managed us well. Rooms were clean and facilities were sufficient for a short stay. Service was also efficient. Overall, a solid and convenient choice especially for short stays or transit in Seoul 👍"

"The location is quite convenient, located at the entrance of metro station and in 10 minutes walking distance to Myeongdong. Full of local restaurants, coffee cafes and grocery stores around the hotel. I love the AI system of the hotel, which you can request anything, general inquiry and even check-in and out, very smart, convenient and don’t have to meet in person. The Luggage storage and toilet are provided. However, I found four problems here which I definitely won’t return to stay here. The first is elevator, too long for me to wait because there’re many residences on the same building using the same elevators. Second is bathroom and toilet are too small. Third is the room is very dusty all the time and forth is the green light of the ceiling air conditioner goes directly to your eyes while sleeping, which is very very annoying."

"It was a cute stay. The shared space such as kitchen and living room is adorable. Lovely that you can use the washing machine and lovely that you got cereals and coffee or tea. I stayed 3 days but first day I just came to leave my stuff and I arrived back in the second day of my stay where I realized the fact that they got a kitchen , haha. The bad thing was the stairs, if you got +20kg luggage and 10 kg backpack as a solo girl is hard to go up as there is self entry space. I had no idea so it was a surprise when I got to the machine self check in. I guess this is how they do in Seoul. It was interesting. The bad things: the bed sheets aren’t too soft, kinda rough, not sure if is the material or the detergent. And for the capsule beds, they are made of wood or wood material , that means if anyone moves, you will hear absolutely every little movement of any kind if anyone moves. Usually there is another material to the new capsule stuff, not wood, so if anyone moves you don’t hear anything. These being noticed, is pretty hard to sleep with these 2 things . I didn’t had a rest sleep the 2 nights I spent here but it was still a cute stay. (And no, the earplugs doesn’t work, I put them in my ears + a eye mask that is circular the head ) also there is strong light during the night too in the capsules, there is no button to close that nonstop light."

"This guesthouse was recently renovated. There were no reviews when I booked it. For a solo traveler in June during peak tourist season, the price was reasonable. First, the downsides: mainly hygiene. It looks okay at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the facilities are quite old. For example, the toilet bowl surface was clean, but the rubber seal under the seat was blackened (possibly because it was on the first floor where it was damp). There were small black flies in the room, and even the towels felt slightly damp. The bathroom is very small!! The waterproofing in the bathroom door seams is problematic; if you're not careful about the direction the showerhead is facing, water will leak out from the door seams!! There's a risk of flooding outside if you're not careful (my friend stayed at this guesthouse before the renovation, and they mentioned this issue to me the day I booked, and it seems it hasn't been improved). Advantages: Good location, convenient transportation, close to Myeongdong subway station (two or three minutes walk? Although it's all uphill). The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are many small cafes and restaurants nearby, creating a nice atmosphere. The price is relatively cheap. The double room for one person had enough space to spread out my suitcase. The room's soundproofing was acceptable. In short, there are pros and cons, but overall it's within my acceptable range. I would choose it again if the price were similar."
