Hotels near SOPA, Seoul

I can not describe my disappointment. First of all One of the receptionists was a little bit unfriendly sometimes aggressive. I arrived late at the hotel and he was cursing over the phone,I was like ok,he is having a rough day . Then I felt unwelcomed by him ,I ignored him . Secondly, I had something that stings in my pillow , I have it on video ... and I am sharing it on facebook) , it was like the ends of the nitting of the pillow [ pic attached ] This is so dangerous as it can transfer blood diseases!! Room's safe wasnt working , I called the reception.. they did not send anyone until i left . The pool was always closed ( I guess this way it is easier for the gym&pool staff ) . I stayed 20 days , I used the pool once . resturant in the last floor , very polite and friendly crew and the food was good . Overall I would not recommend it .

Honestly, if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay in the city this is a spot for you. It was 5-10 minute walk from the metro (depends on one’s walking speed) so if you have a lot of luggage be prepared. In addition, if you have any allergies or asthma I don’t recommend booking this place. Although the room was ‘clean’, no stains, dirt, visible mold, etc, it smelled entirely of mold. It could have came from the bathrooms since it’s a wet room and has poor ventilation but regardless, it triggered my asthma and allgeries. I had a hard time breathing in the room and it took me all day outdoors to recover from sleeping there for one night. My face and eyes were breaking out, which means there must have been dust/ mold behind the walls, the the vents, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also, be prepared to find mode of transportation if you have an early flight. Metros open at 5:30am and from that location it would take 1.5 hours by metro and 1.15 hours by metro/ bus. Bus fare is 17,000won so be prepared for that. The hostel offers van services to airport for 40,000 and 80,000won. The AC worked, the towels they gave had a lingering sweat odor, the bed was hard, but hey, i ordered a single room and it was spacious enough for me to have my privacy. There is a small kitchen but it should be cleaned out. People left very old food in there with notes “free” or “take me” when the only free thing should be it’s transport to the trash can. Again? Just want to emphasize if you have allgeries and asthma don’t book here. If you don’t, then go ahead and enjoy!!

The check in and check out was simple. I was worried the walk to the subway would be too far but it wasn't at all. Shops and coffee shops along the way to pick up anything before going out or returning to the hotel. There is also a shopping center downstairs with lots of restaurants and an Emart in walking distance. I got sick during my stay and the staff was very helpful. The bed was really comfy. I suffer from back pain and during my stay my bavk did not hurt at all. I was really surprised. The cleaner was very sweet. The bathroom had a bathtub and shower and there was a kettle in the room. However, there was no instant coffee just tea which wasn't a big deal to me because you can get coffee in just about any corner in Seoul. Because I got sick during my stay I wasn't able to check out any of the facilities: gym, cafe, etc so I can't comment on that. For me the most important in any hotel stay is the customer service and I found here it great. They were able to answer all my questions which is helpful in a foreign country. Definitely recommend!

It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth to stay however I want to comment a few things like to point it out. 1. Front desk workers are almost no manners, they seem to not have any idea how to greet people, they never say any word like thank you, may I help you? , how may I assist you? Next customer please, what’s your car license plate number? Anything I can help you? How was your stay in our hotel? I’m sorry I don’t understand etc.. I believe not they didn’t want to say something in English, they seemed to not educated people neither they were lacking in English conversation. Don’t expect any common western manners from them. That’s why I rated them “poor” in the service category. I hope they will improve their service quality next time I see them. Thanks for reading my review.

My 80 year old father and I had a good stay at the Fairfield Marriott on our last night in Seoul. Check in was easy, the elevators are high tech detecting your room floor when you hold the key to the hub, but the rooms are small. There's a sliding door separating the bathroom from the bedroom, but the bathroom is at the front of the room to include the door for entry. Essentially if you're on the toilet and your family/friend has left the room, you'd have to yell out to keep them from entering while on the throne. Not a big deal for overnight but for a longer stay that might be problematic. Also, said door is not quiet, so getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom requires you to make noise to slide the door closed. The room was otherwise nice. The bed was firm, the shower was good and had wash clothes. There's two hooks for hanging towels after you've used them which I think is golden. The breakfast buffet is just okay. There are plenty of food restaurants across the street from the hotel. We also had a Thai massage in that area. Oh, the slippers are really cheap, as seen in a pic... Lol.

Located in the quieter side of Hongdae (which i’d prefer), it’s still quite close to the main shopping area (maybe 10mins walk). Really cute space to be living in, felt more like a co-living (I believe university students live here as their hostel as well since there are universities nearby) rather than a full fledged hotel. Loved the communal space vibes and there was even a fair going on on one of the days (I believe it was the first day of the month) selling things like vegetables and fruits and many other things. There’s a space for everything such as a quick massage, laundry, kitchen, vending machines, a robot coffee machine and multiple spaces to chill and hangout/do work. I guess the only downside was that there’s no room service if you’re staying for less than 7 days, meaning you have to clear your own trash and clean your own room but that wasn’t too much of a problem. Unlimited small towels available upon request at the reception as well. Overall, it was a really nice stay and pretty good location!

We stayed here during the height of the Covid Quarantine in South Korea. We were quarantined here for our mandatory 7-day quarantine. We were scared to death, we got off the government bus that dropped us off here. Could not tell much because everything was walled off in plastic but let me say. We got to our room, and it was very nice. We had a beautiful view of the marina. We watched ducks and boats come in and out all day. The staff although many were government workers were more than helpful. We did not get to see any of the other parts of the hotel, but from the photos it looks amazing. I rate this place high because the room was amazing, an amazing bathroom. and the service was amazing although we never got to leave the room. I would love to come back here after Covid and visit this place on our own terms. I bet it is breathtaking. The people were so helpful and the food was very good.

Location: First of all, it was located in front of the bar of Chungmuro Station, so the accessibility was very good! As soon as I got off the station, it was easy to find because it was right there, and it was easy to move to the subway. In addition, there are many food nearby, so I ordered it to be delivered in the evening. At night, I went out with my friends and played in my favorite bar. 🍻 Room interior, cleanliness: First of all, the room stayed in a room for three people, but it was wider than I thought, so three people went to sleep. It was enough, very neat and clean. There was also a table, so it was easy to eat, and it was okay to bring a laptop and see the work! The bathroom is clean and Netflix is available (you need to use your own ID). There is a washing machine, induction, and sink, so you can cook and wash! (I haven't used it, but,) it was just new and tidy because the bathroom was just built. Is it a little unusual that the sink is on the outside? It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't as noisy as Hongdae or Sinchon. It was nice to be quiet at night, not like a noisy downtown area, but because of its good accessibility and location, it was convenient to use public transportation and places to eat or cafes around. It was nice to have a lot! I stayed with my friends, but I think it would be suitable if you are looking for a place to stay for long-distance business trips or business purposes.. !

The location is very good, and there are many delicious foods nearby. Although it is a motorcycle ride for couples, the sound insulation is very good. I recommend this place.
