3-Star Hotels in Seoul

This hotel is located in Ikseon-dong, about a 5-minute walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, Exit 6, with a CU convenience store nearby. There are many dining options in the area, and popular spots like Mil Toast and Salt Bread are also within walking distance. Anguk Station is only about a 10-minute walk away, making it easy to reach Dotori Garden, Shilla Myunok, and Onion. The room is equipped with a washing machine, refrigerator, and microwave, which is great for storing frozen food and ice cream from the convenience store, or kimchi from the market. There's no bathtub, only a shower, but a step and door separate it from the toilet, so the toilet area stays dry. Since there's no daily cleaning service, I just washed my towels with my clothes at night while I slept, which worked out perfectly. The washer/dryer combo was incredibly convenient – I didn't need to pack many clothes or worry about hanging them to dry. The only minor drawback was the noise from the washing machine in the room if you run it while sleeping. It's probably best to run it when you're out. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I'd definitely want to stay here again.

1. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the bustling commercial district. Everything you need for dining, entertainment, and shopping is just a step away. It's close to everything, making getting around super efficient. 2. The cleanliness is meticulously maintained. The entire room was spotless and fresh. There were plenty of dry towels, and the bathroom had no water stains or odors – very friendly for germaphobes. ⚠️Cons: The room space is really cramped. There's no way to open two suitcases, and you can only walk sideways in the aisle. It would be very uncomfortable if you have a lot of luggage. Summary: This place is suitable for solo travelers who pack light and want to go shopping. If you have a lot of luggage or are traveling with multiple people, consider other options carefully.

Overall, my stay was great! The room was a bit small, but it was spotless. For two people, there wasn't much space to lay out luggage, but we managed to pack and unpack. The room amenities were a pleasant surprise: a large fridge and two washing machines. We didn't use them during our short trip, but they would be incredibly useful for long-term travelers. The hotel also provides two complimentary bottles of water daily, and the shower pressure was excellent and very comfortable. The front desk service was a big plus; the staff spoke Chinese, making the check-in process seamless. The location is superb, with a convenience store right downstairs – perfect for buying water, snacks, and daily necessities. Myeongdong shopping area is also within walking distance, making shopping and errands incredibly easy. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Seoul!

You have to shower in the bathtub, and even though we booked a large room type, it was the biggest room I've stayed in in Korea. At over 1300 [currency unit, likely KRW], it felt quite overpriced. The pillows were incredibly dirty, please see the pictures. If you're a germaphobe, definitely don't come here. It was very late, so I didn't bother to complain and just left early the next morning. On the bright side, the ladies at the front desk were very nice.

There's not much in the way of service in Korea, so that's pretty normal. They can store luggage for you, and at least they don't give you a dirty look, which is a plus. However, this hotel doesn't clean rooms daily. I paid over 1000 and still didn't expect that; they only clean once every four days! The windows in this hotel are designed in a way that lets in a lot of light, so if you're sensitive to light while sleeping, bring an eye mask! Definitely avoid the lower floors, or be sure to bring earplugs! Ctrip's customer service was excellent and kept trying to resolve issues, but there's no negotiating with hotels abroad. So, for places like this, it's better to book through a major platform, otherwise, it can be a really frustrating experience! I found short hairs on the bed in another room, and they actually asked me how I could prove the hair was theirs. All of us have long hair... so, Koreans have a strange way of thinking. If you're a clean freak, you might want to bring your own bedding.

Convenient location, perfect for solo travelers! Location: Situated between two subway stations with lots of nearby dining options and convenience stores. Room Layout: A duplex/loft style. The lower level has the bathroom and a small sofa area (enough space to open one suitcase; best for 1 person). The upper level is the bedroom (steep stairs—not recommend for elderly or those with mobility issues) Amenities: Large TVs on both levels. Towels, water, and basic amenities are provided. Cleanliness is decent. Service: Great customer support via WeChat. They can easily arrange room cleaning and help book airport transportation. 房間：5 服務：5 地點：4

The location is great, with easy access to the subway and restaurants nearby. I also appreciated the coffee machine, ice maker, and microwave on the first floor. However, the facilities and cleanliness were quite disappointing. In the first room, I found a cockroach under the table. They moved me to another room, but the showerhead was broken, and the sink drained very slowly. Then, on the second night, the toilet kept flushing by itself multiple times, and it only stopped after I unplugged it.

We stayed 6 nights here. Even though the hotel is older, but very clean and no smell no bugs in the toilet. 10 minutes walk to metro but 1 minute to bus stop with buses to almost everywhere, personally I do enjoy bus rides more so that is a plus. Free water, daily cleaning and basic amenities are really nice. + affordability! 100% recommend❤️

I stayed for the whole week at this hotel. It is a nice small hotel that just 1 station away from Gangnam. Room is cleaned well everyday in the morning, they provide extra water and amenities at the 1st floor so it is nice. Internet speed is very fast and you have smart TV inside your room.

Nice location, it will take about 10 minutes from the metro station. Modern fashionable business location of the Gangnam? Sorry, it is not. Urban beauty of the Seoul is so-so. Cafes or restaurants aren't very close, but not so far. But the sport cafe with evening soccer translation is close and you will hear it all the might very well. Facilities.. You will have no toothbrush and soap. Only single use shampoo and shower gel that weren't updated even every day. Towels also not refreshed every day. Multiple use sleepers. Drinking water you may find in the hidden fridge. Electric kettle i have not use. I dont remember, maybe the tea bags where available. Even condoms where but i prefer a toothpaste with toothbrush. Once i have asked to clean the room it was ignored. But on the third day was done. One time at my 4 night stay. The best option i have met as EU standard USB 2A phone charger which helped me every night. As i have took chinese standard charger only, so stupid for me. Might be smarter next trip. Hope my currency rate will grow again and the hotel costs with these weathers will not look so high. But last time i expected more. Anyway thank you!
