Hotels near Children＇s Museum of the National Museum of Korea in Seoul

This was my first time visited Korea, and I stayed in this hotel on 31 may-5 june 2023. I was got confused on the first time I arrived because I can't find the reception and it was no staff standby to assist and directing. Apparently, the lobby area is on the 4th floor (press L in the lift). The first floor is only the bakery shop and concierge (but nobody was there when I arrived). And no any signage either. The lobby area is modern and has a good interior. All of the staffs are all well mannered, friendly and helpful, some even speak good English. The room size is not too big, but still fair. I like the bathroom with shower head. it was clean and the lighting of the room is good. But unfortunately, the main reason I chose this hotel in this area was because I want to have a room with Han River view. It was named 'Standard Han River View Double Room', so I had a huge expectation it would really provided a good view of Han River. In fact, the building was not directly face to Han River (a little bit cross 45 degree) and was blocked with other higher surrounding buildings. and most disappointing, it doesn't have a full wide window, the window was separated by a thick wall in the middle. (I forget to took a proper photo, so I screenshot from my video to my boyfriend). I asked the staff whether we could have a room with full wide window and he said that all rooms' window configuration are all same. so i feel my hussle was really in vain to intentionally move to another hotel since my previous hotel located much more strategically to my itinerary (and actually has a bigger room size and cheaper -- i consider this is more expensive because of the brand and the location). The hotel location itself is actually very convenience because it has a direct bus stop in front of, and Yongsan station is literally across the hotel. Another good point, it also has 24 hour of coin laundry in the building (cost 3,000 won for laundry and 3,000 won for dryer). u can directly buy the detergen+softener for 1,000 won in the vending machine in the laundry room. Overall besides the Han River disappointing expectation, i can say that my stay experience here was lovely. The cleanliness of room, helpful and fluent English staffs were all great.

Convenient location and clean room. The hotel has history, but the bed is not old but comfy. Loved the wooden floor and I guess there is a heating system underneath the floor. It says it’s a 4-star hotel but refreshment choices were limited (only tea drip coffee bags). Room-service is not available, but that didn’t affect our mood of stay. It’s environmentally friendly that snacks and individual shampoo sets are not provided. Would definitely come again!

It's the second time we stayed at this hotel, because of good location (near Yongsan train station). However, we had a bad experience. We booked room with sofa bed (for kid) and we asked them to prepare it after we check-in, finally they didn't do it, we can back after dinner and we had to try to reach front desk (not easy, hard to reach!) fi ally someone came around 21:00 and kids were so sleepy. Second day, we wanted to order some room service, they said it will take 1h30 to even get some French fries! We had to cancel and order from outside hotel for delivery. At 10pm our daughter was sick and vomited, we tried to call front desk to get some cleaning products and new bed sheets, we had to call maybe 30 times! Line always busy, terrible... Finally they could arrange a new room but it was 11pm. Sunday morning (last day for us) we wanted to go for breakfast buffet, we were told to wait more than 30min to gets seat, kids so hungry so we gave up and went to 1st floor instead (near lobby). They were sold out of croissants, so we bought some snacks instead at the same place than the coffee shop of hotel. See photo, and they told us we Cannot eat them inside hotel, it was apparently only for ”take away”. What a joke! I related everything at check out, they said sorry, and that's it (we left) we will never come back.

Good value for money and clean

Good value motel, decent location short walk from metro, convenience store and coffee. My room was perfectly reasonable, bedding a little thin but everything worked. 24 hour service it seemed

Generally speaking, the facilities were not bad except that they were a bit outdated

Hotel seems to be getting a little old. Lots of distressing cracks in the stairwell… Elevator takes FOREVER because of the parking they allow underground. The service desk people look like they could use a break because the same guy was there morning, noon, and night. Rooms smell like smoke and cigarette buds in window sill. Otherwise excellent location close to the subway. Close to coex mall and other major stations. Easy to navigate with with decent food (lots of western food?)

I stayed at this motel for only one night as it was close to a hospital I needed to visit the morning after. Like most motels in South Korea, I am most certain it’s a “sex motel,” and they are usually dirty and unkept. However, this motel is very modern and aesthetically pleasing. The room I stayed in was the “grand room.” Overall, great price for a one night type of deal. I recommend it if you are on the go.

Overall, not bad at this price, really close to the subway station! Just near Exit 5, you can see it at a glance. And the boss can speak Chinese, communication is very convenient

Good. The price are not high compare to others and the room quality is acceptable. Clean, but with thin wall so you can hear the sound from next door. Walking length to the subway station. Many pubs and karaokes and some 24 hrs coffee shops nearby so it’s still lively even at late night. (Anyway you may need to beware of drunken people). One problem is that the name of the place on Naver map is actually ‘Tower Motel’ If you search ‘Sillim Tower’ it will lead you to other building faraway.
