GOYOO INN & CABINS

This is the best capsule hotel I've stayed at in Korea so far. It's right in the heart of Gangnam, just a five-minute walk to both bus stops and subway stations. Next door is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Joseon Royal Tombs, with a perfect running path circling the tombs. The hotel design is modern and zen, the common areas are comfortable and relaxing, and the room size is just right. I booked a VIP room which had a desk and space for large luggage. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and always ready to assist. The magazine selection in the public area showed great taste, and it's only a ten-minute walk to COEX.

My first time staying in a hostel, and it was a perfect experience! I actually felt it was even better than a hotel I stayed in later. If I ever visit Seoul again and need to stay near Gangnam, this will definitely be my first choice!

Completely exceeded expectations! It's in Gangnam, very close to the COEX mall (I think that's what it's called?), and popular photo spots like the 'library' landmark. The mall has a great variety of brands. There are also tons of restaurants nearby, though the prices are a bit on the higher side.

The hotel is a 5 to 10-minute walk from the subway station, and there's a convenience store downstairs. It's a really great hotel; each pod/cubicle is quite spacious. It's also very quiet at night. The toilets and showers are very clean too.

This location is perfect for a super short weekend trip if your sole purpose is to see a show at KSPO Dome, with no sightseeing plans. From Seolleung Station, it's just one stop on Line 6 to Seonjeongneung, where you can transfer to the Line 9 express to Olympic Park (be aware that if you're taking the subway to the airport, it's the same line but in the opposite direction, and it's best to avoid rush hour as it gets incredibly crowded). First, the pros: The front desk staff can communicate in English. The bathroom provides disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, and basic toiletries. There's also a convenient check-out process, and the accommodation terms are printed in multiple languages for easy reference, making it generally foreigner-friendly, especially for introverts. Within walking distance, there are at least two or three convenience stores, ensuring you can grab hot food even when returning late, which is reassuring. The downsides are that getting to and from the airport isn't convenient; it would be a real headache if you're in a hurry. Also, fully sealed windows inevitably affect hygiene; without regular ventilation and natural sunlight, bedding is more prone to breeding bacteria. So, if you're traveling during the coldest or hottest times of the year and need to stay for more than two nights, this is likely not the optimal choice (you'll either be cold during showers or hot while sleeping, which can be quite uncomfortable).

Stayed here for a BTS concert. The transportation is very convenient, and there are plenty of dining options and places to walk around nearby.
