A new and polished hotel, Marinabay is everything you need for short stay. With a nice view for some rooms over the Marins, it’s well positioned. Being out of Central Seoul is in a fairly sparse part of the city and for restaurants and bars, you will need a 20-30min taxi into town. The hotel is very nice and the staff are very helpful. For business travelers it’s perfect as each room has a desk. Rooms are larger than average versus downtown hotel. Has a roof top pool and an indoor pool but as it’s February for my visit, I didn’t use either.
It's pretty good and very convenient. There's a CU convenience store on the first floor, and I went there almost every night to buy a bunch of snacks. It's really friendly for business travelers; it's super easy to grab something to eat and drink after finishing work!
This was my first time staying in a room with underfloor heating, and it was a lifesaver given the extreme temperature swings between day and night. The place is still new, and the price was reasonable, so overall it was excellent. The shower takes some getting used to, though.
4 people stay, breakfast 2 people free
Hotel in the forest, lots of places to visit, good to rest ~
I used the sauna and the facilities are clean and good ~
The hostel has to climb the hill, but check in and go out by cart ~
There are many reviews that breakfast is not good.
About 15,000 won for a charging card.
It was good because the taste of rice, soup, side dishes, bread, coffee, cereal, fruits, etc. was good. There are only many kinds at the price of over 30,000 won and it seems to be better than the tasteless ones~
Willing to return
WWe chose this hotel for a quiet, relaxing stay and were impressed by its location in an upscale neighbourhood surrounded by lovely cafes and restaurants. Transport was easy—with the GTX-A line nearby, you’re in Seoul before you know it. The hotel itself was clean and well maintained, with several great dining options on-site.
Unfortunately, the experience was affected by a significant issue. The air-conditioning didn’t work throughout our stay, and despite informing the front desk, we were advised to open the windows instead. With the low air quality, this quickly led to sinus congestion and hay fever for our family—definitely not ideal before a flight. On top of that, nearby construction made it hard to rest with the windows open, and our request for a room change was declined.
Had this issue been handled better, it would have been a perfect stay. The location and amenities are excellent, but customer service and maintenance need improvement.
I stayed in a 2-bedroom suite for about a week and overall had a very pleasant experience. The suite was spacious and clean, making it comfortable for a longer stay. One thing to note: the bathtub is quite deep, which might be a challenge for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. Breakfast: a good mix of Western and Korean options, all well-prepared and tasty. The coffee, in particular, was excellent — probably the best I’ve had at a hotel. Reception staff were polite(mostly... except the one male reception who deline on advice...) If you plan visit downtown in Seoul it might be quite far. Would recommend for families or longer stays, just keep the bathroom design in mind depending on your needs.
Turtle Island Hotel Cielo offers excellent value for money, including location and price.
They also offer free breakfast on weekdays, which is nice.
The rooftop pool is also warm and has a Jacuzzi-like heated pool, making it a great place to spend time with the family!
Recommended for a short outing during the holiday season.
I enjoyed my stay at the property. Front desk was really approachable and attentive to details such as pillow option selected / sharing with me about the shuttle service. The property is connected to the mall and the Soft Tofu Stew restaurant was particularly good. It was packed with people.
We chose this hotel for its convenient location near the children's park. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the plumbing definitely needs an upgrade: both the sink faucet and the showerhead were faulty (leaking). Otherwise, the room was pleasant to stay in. I had booked a room with breakfast, but at the front desk, I was told it wasn't included, which was very strange. I ended up having to pay extra for breakfast. Thankfully, the breakfast was very appetizing and filling. I think I'd choose this hotel again for my next stay.
The scenery was so good. I knew there was nothing nearby. The hotel restaurant closed too early in the evening to taste the meal. I asked to change the pillow cover because it smelled like a cover, but it changed immediately. But the cover laundry is good, and it seemed that the pillow itself smelled. The room toilet was clean and nice.
It was really beautiful when the sunset was falling. I think it's a good place to rest ~
Very Good

Great
I had a really nice time. Everything was great. The bed was very comfortable, clean, and the breakfast was delicious, although there were few options.
Former Australia soldiers of 3 RAR travelled to Kapyong, to commemorate the Battle of Kapyong 24 April 1951 (in 2025). This brilliant accommodation is located a 2 min stroll over the Gyeonggi-do river to the Australia & NZ memorial, where a friendly well equipped convenience store sits below it. The Host property was spotless, as picture online and well maintained. The owner aims to be non invasive (monitoring from Wi-Fi cameras on the outside of the property) and to protect it. He saw our struggles attempting to light fire on a cold night and quickly drove down to assist :). The lovely store holder closed up shop (when we tried to order food) to take us down to his local family restaurant (for authentic Korean food, which to tried to offer for free and we persistently and politely declined, fantastic local hospitality towards us and in general. The host then drove us back into the Gapeyoung Train station when we tried to order a Taxi. Fantastic experience and would stay here again and highly recommend it. The lovely family run cafe in town: 886-5 Mokdong-ri, Buk-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

Excellent stay! Spacious room. Breakfast to die for. Rooftop dinner was magnificent and view stunning. Only problem is the reception is not on ground floor - I arrived late in the evening and nobody was there to direct me - they had a sign to stare where lobby is, but it’s very confusing if you don’t know.
For a last minute booking the hotel was very accommodating. I was a bit skeptical with the first impression of the lobby giving a very motel vibe, as I went to my floor I was quite surprised as the look of the hallway was quite different than what I expected. Entering my room, I felt a very cozy and welcoming feeling (keep in mind). I do live in an apartment in another city in South Korea so I am used to the layouts of Korea apartments and I can say that the room was more of a studio type room with furniture than a hotel which for makes it more homey. Entering the room, they already provide indoor slippers. The layout with table and chairs and sink (what used to be a cooking area) gives it the studio apartment feeling. Very spacious and open and the TV (huge) is bigger than what most 5 star elegant hotels have. The bidet is on point and shower is a modern concept. They also provide a transformer for those who require or have electronics that require 110v charge.
Beautiful hotel. Located not that far from Gimpo airport. The price was really great for the stay. Parking is free and very convenient. The bed was very comfortable. An eMart was located in the lobby of the hotel.
Excellent service and clean room We rented a car, so it was pretty convenient. However, location would be a bit odd for travelling. Highly recommend this hotel for families.
Let me start by saying I chose this hotel as it was close to the Canadian memorial and hill 677 where Canada put a fierce resistance during the Korean war. My father fought here and I wanted to see it. The hotel room was small, very clean, and comfortable. The most amazing thing was the couple that owed it. They were so helpful and offered to drive me to the memorial, get me taxis, provided me coffee and cookies. Their hospitality was far above the 5 star rating I can give. P.s. I'm in my 60's and made it up the hill, walking to the fighting positions. I has a wonderful time here. Great people, very nice stay. Thank you once again. Highly recommended.
