Seoul Yongsan-gu 2-star Hotels

I met a lot of good people all around the world and also Koreans. This guesthouse is close to the subway station and the bus stop. So it is easy to get around (Seoul is good for transportation). All the staff here are nice. Good and easy breakfast in the morning. Every bed has is locker and enough space for your stuff! Laundry and dryer you can do it for very cheap! Can't explain how beautiful is the view from the rooftop. Thanks guys for making my stay happier!

Absolutely not the type of room you want to live in. Once you enter the door, there is a small space and a small toilet! First, there is only a small table, and everything must be placed on the floor The second toilet also only has a sink and there is no way to put things The third sleep has to walk through a corridor that is 3-4 meters long The fourth bed is convenient and there is no place to put things Fifth, I stayed in January 2023. There was a window smaller than my head at the head of the bed. At that time, it was snowing and the wind kept blowing in, so cold to death🥶! Sixth can't see anything out of the window! ! A little bit: Itaewon is convenient, you can stay for one night, the surrounding is safe, and there are convenience stores!

I encountered the loveliest staff ever. They were all so friendly and helpful form checking in, recommendations for tourist areas, restaurants, street food and travel. They had full knowledge of local and touristy areas, and always went the extra mile, and made sure I had the right directions there and back. The main receptionist, Yeosong, speaks English, Korean and Chinese, I was impressed and felt even better after she remained in contact with me until my departure since I had roaming service issues. I was blown away by their hospitality and making you feel comfortable, a great first impression. It's a cozy hostel and cafe, so I felt nice to even sit and talk with the staff and being so attentive towards everyone. The manager is great and also involved in everything, you can tell they're all a great team. The hostel is very close to the city center, if not down the corner. The facilities are very clean and was constantly checked up on. Seoul Cube is a really nice place to stay, if not the best place to stay, especially in Itaewon. The breakfast is really good, and they had a variety at that, from sandwiches, to eggs and toast with water or coffee. They play movies in the evening in the cafe area, which everyone can just sit and enjoy, a plus because I got to meet so many people. I also liked that there's doors that require passcodes in order to access the hostel, your area and the room you're staying in. It made me feel extra safe and more privacy within the hostel.

I stayed the New World Hotel, Hangang daero 84 gil, Namyeong dong, Yongsan gu, Seoul, South Korea, August 26 to 31. This was easily the most expensive place on my trip (and I was in Tokyo for a week). And the New World Hotel was the worst place of my trip. The location is central ish, but dirty and gross, with shops selling junk and scrap metal. This should not be a 3-star hotel. The first problem was that the listing was cheap, but had a shared bathroom, so compared to other listings (which had their own baths), it looked good. By the time you got your own bathroom, the price was a lot higher. This is a classic bait-and-switch sales routine. The listing also promised a free shuttle to the Inchon airport, so I thought that despite the room price, at least I get a ride to the airport. When I asked the staff, that was a ”misunderstanding”. Instead of offering to take me the 30km to the airport or pay for the shuttle, or pay me the 80K Won amount of the shuttle, they offered to take me to Seoul station, 1.5km, and said a taxi would cost 85K Won, so they were compensating me well. That is the biggest lie I ever heard. I can provide information from *********** that shows the hotel changed its listing page to a paid shuttle after I asked at the front desk about the free shuttle. The room was gross. The bathroom had mold in it. Regular soap was shared in the shower. The shower drain was rusty. The water temperature varied while you were showering. There was no shower curtain, so all the water went on the ground. There were screws sticking out of the doorknob and toilet flusher (I have pictures). There's holes in the tile, huge scrapes on the floor, lack of electric switch covers, smudges on walls and other cosmetic things easy to fix, if anyone cared. The sink was cracked and fixed with duct tape!!! Just things I haven't seen since a refugee camp I had the misfortune to be in while in my youth. The water temperature went up and down significantly during a showering without my touching the knobs. From the 6th floor, anyone taking the stairs down to the 5th floor is in danger of falling down the steps, because one step is significantly higher than the other steps. I wouldn't want to get paid to stay here. I talked to the only English speaker, and presumably the manager, who was somewhat apologetic, but wouldn't address the problems, nor lower the price. When I paid the high price, I assumed a decent room, and the free shuttle and there the hotel failed.

Good points: 1 - Economic Hostel with affordable price R$1.943,40 (for 2 people /durante all 10 days) 2 - Private WC inside the rooms ; 3 - Offers breakfast (simply – messed eggs, bread, jelly, sweets, coffee, milk and juice) nothing but simple but functional, great experience in my opinion; 5 – Offers bags deposit, (under a charge to be consulted); 6 – WI FI free; 7 – The common area of the Hostel (reception and coffee area) very well clean; 8 - Rooms have secret closure, the guest recording password ; 9 – Offers Washing service under additional charge; 10 – Excellent location: Near Seoul Station (train and metro); Near Lotte (Shopping and Supermarket), Near the Seoul Police Centre (all these points have been walking less than 5 minutes); 11 – Reception speaks English; HAVING POINTS: 1 – No lift, You will have to climb 3 stairs levels; 2 - You will have to climb with your bags without any help; 3 – The hostel is located next to a hostel, so during the early morning and early night, the flow of “without roofs” walking near the hostel is very big, but nothing that prevents you from enjoying the trip (only be careful about this movement in these hours); 4 – Heavy cleaning of the rooms and bed-dressing exchange, is only performed every 3 days of accommodation, thus, daily, if there is a waste accumulation, the guest itself needs to collect your waste and deliver it at the Hostel reception so that it is discharged; 5 – Not having access to PNE; 6 – Reception with limited time;

I had a phone charger in the room, so I couldn't use it. So I was sorry that I couldn't charge it, and there was a stain on one towel because it was not well washed. It was good

After arriving, I didn't know how to check in, so I contacted them and got a reply right away. I contacted them through Kakao Talk and they responded quickly, which was helpful. The only essentials are towels and shampoo/dryer, so make sure to prepare conditioner, toothbrush, etc.

We've been to Seoul a few times, but this is the best guesthouse we stayed in. First, they allow late check in. Our flight arrived 11pm and were able to get the 2am night bus and arrived at Seoul station at 3am. Second, the lady owner was very nice. On our last night she gave us facial masks and facial wash, we were pleasantly surprised to say the least. Second, guesthouse is right across Seoul Station Exit 15 but since we arrived late and it was freezing we just took a taxi and cost us only 5,000KRW. Third, the room is small but it's got everything you need: hair dryer, electric kettle, a small fridge and a decent sized private toilet. Overall, we had a great stay and we will defo stay here if we come back.

The hotel is self-service. There is no front desk and no reception staff. First of all, the first impression is very poor. It is not as good as a domestic third-rate hotel. , The room is particularly small, the only advantage is that the room is fairly clean ~ totally sorry for the price of more than 400 a night. Fortunately, it is very close to Longshan Silla Aibaoke, within five minutes walk ~ Overall disappointing

Ctrip helped upgrade the room. It costs more than 1,300 RMB, which is roughly equivalent to the inferior Home Inn Express in China. The room facilities are all available. Hot water is also available. There are many kinds of matching toiletries, all of which are easy to use. The cleaning sister lent me a charging plug. Overall it's okay. Accommodation in South Korea is so expensive, beyond imagination.
