Hotels near Itaewon, Seoul

Good location. Just a five minute walk from Itaewon station. Lots of eateries around. The hotel is situated on a hill so pushing your luggage up can be tiring. Room is small and there is not much space for a large luggage. Bathroom does not have separate wet and dry areas so after a shower the room will be wet. Fortunately it dries up very quickly and so was not an issue for us. We were disappointed with housekeeping as our room was not cleaned daily even though we requested for it. We even had to request for an additional towel daily as only one was given for a 2 person room. Breakfast is good with varieties.

The hotel's location is great, not far from Sinsa Station and surrounded by many restaurants. The room wasn't small, and the bathroom was huge with a bathtub, so you could shower or soak. The water pressure was also excellent. I was surprised they even provided toothbrushes, as most hotels in Korea no longer do. They also stocked hair gel, toner, and other amenities, which was a really nice touch. They were very generous with the bottled water, providing 4 bottles daily. The only issue was right after checking in, maybe because they registered a male guest, I received many strange phone calls. My female companion answered a few times, and they eventually stopped. Later, I realized there might be a spa downstairs that offers other services.

The room that I checked in is not even close to the room that I booked (deluxe double room). Staff said every deluxe double room is different but completely different from what they posted and can’t change it due to all full. But everything else is pretty good. Cleanliness and location are great. Subway station(Line 4) are 10 minutes away by walking.

I highly recommend staying at V stay! As a foreigner who does not speak or understand the local language, I felt absolutely no stress or difficulty during my stay.The location in Myeong-dong is perfect. It is an easy walk to the subway station, and the neighborhood is surrounded by great places to visit, including shopping malls, night markets, and convenience stores. Most importantly, the hotel is clean, comfortable, and the staff are incredibly nice, helpful, and friendly. I will definitely stay here again!

The accommodation looks exactly like the photos and is super clean! I really loved the view of Namsan Tower from the room, so romantic! The kitchen is well-equipped for a simple breakfast with toast, jam, milk, and orange juice. There's even a water dispenser, so I didn't have to drink the water I'd bought beforehand. The hairdryer has a strong airflow, and the bathroom is spotless! I had mistakenly thought there would be a TV, but there wasn't, so I couldn't watch videos at the accommodation and ended up watching them on my phone with my friend. Aside from that, the electric blanket was wonderfully warm, ensuring a cozy night's sleep. Free laundry and drying facilities are also available. There were a lot of international guests, which made it feel like I was abroad even though I was in Korea. One thing to note: there are many stairs from the entrance, so my friend and I struggled quite a bit with our heavy luggage when checking in. I'd only recommend it for those with light luggage. Lastly, the Bluetooth speaker in the living room was on all night, and the sound was quite disruptive. It's not that there's no soundproofing, but because it was so quiet in the early morning, the sound seemed even louder. My friends also asked what the noise was, and after investigating, we realized it was the speaker, so we turned it off and finally got some sleep.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the subway station. Dongdaemun is just a stone's throw away, a short walk downstairs. There's a convenience store right below, which is super handy for buying things. The facilities are cozy and welcoming, and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful.

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's super convenient with three subway lines nearby, making it easy to get anywhere, and it's also very close to the airport shuttle stop. Plus, there are tons of convenience stores around, which is great for shopping. However, the soundproofing in the rooms is really, really bad. Every night, I could hear girls chatting and laughing from different rooms until 2 or 3 AM. (Aside from a few screams and loud laughs, most of it was just regular conversation volume, but the soundproofing was so poor that I could hear everything clearly.) Since there are no staff members at night, if it got too noisy, I had to ask them to be quiet myself. Surprisingly, I didn't have any issues with the renovation smell or general noise that other reviews mentioned; their impact was minimal. Also, even though I was staying alone in a double room, I still found it a bit cramped. No wonder I saw girls from other rooms openly organizing their luggage in the hallway... I took the room photos after I had tidied up before leaving. I do appreciate having a table and mirror, which were convenient for putting things down and doing makeup. The fourth floor also offers free instant noodles, hot drinks, and a washing machine, which is a nice bonus.

This was my first hostel experience, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the room was. They constantly replenished the communal towels, and the lobby had everything you could possibly need, so I was very satisfied with my stay.

I got lost because I couldn't find the entrance, lol. The hotel is in the parking lot, behind a screen (like a curtain) that you'd see in an old love hotel! The hotel name is written in neon, so it should be easy to find. The hotel is in an expensive area, but I was able to stay there for a reasonable price. I think it's a former love hotel, so it's not perfectly clean, but it is fairly clean. Amenities are plentiful. They have a full range of items, including combs, cotton pads, cotton swabs, skin care products, cleanser, toothbrushes and toothpaste, body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. I forgot my charger, but they had Type C, Lightning, and Type A chargers, which was very helpful! It was also great that there was USB charging available there! Considering the amenities, I think this hotel is very good value for money! I recommend it!

This place has an unbeatable location, right near Dongdaemun Subway Station, making it super convenient to get around. You can even walk to Gwangjang Market. To get to the hostel, it's about a 3-minute walk from Dongdaemun Station Exit 7 (Line 4) or Exit 6 (Line 1). The main door on the ground floor is easy to open. You check in on the 2nd floor after going up the stairs. Our room was on the top floor, requiring another flight of stairs, but since my family and I had light luggage, it wasn't an issue and we didn't need any help. The hostel offers drinking water, a coffee machine, and a ramen dispenser. We were always too full to try them, but it shows how thoughtful the staff are. The ramen comes in three clearly labeled spice levels: non-spicy, mild, and medium spicy. Inside the room, the beds were comfortable, and toiletries were provided. However, the bathroom is quite small, with only a tiny area in front of the sink for showering. If you mind wet floors, you might want to bring your own slippers. P.S. There are no USB outlets in the room, but they do provide an adapter with three different charging cable types. I'd recommend bringing your own adapter so you and your travel companions can charge separately more conveniently. Overall, we had a good stay, and it offers great value for money. We'd definitely choose this place again if we have the chance. A big thank you to all the staff!
