Hotels near White Bar, Seoul

"Although the hotel is located in Cheongdam-dong, the surrounding commercial area isn't very developed. There's only a GS25 nearby for food and drinks. The transportation is fairly convenient, with a bus stop a few hundred meters to the right when you exit, which can take you to most places. However, the subway is quite far, requiring another bus ride. It's indeed an older hotel, and the room maintenance is pretty subpar. The double room we booked was extremely cramped; with two suitcases open, there was barely any room to walk. The bathroom had no exhaust fan, and there was mold on the ceiling and bathmat. The air conditioner vent was built into a fake bay window under the actual window. On our first night, we couldn't find the light switch and accidentally opened the bay window cabinet, which was full of dust. The service was also very average. On our second night, we couldn't get into our room with the key card and had to go down to the front desk, and they offered no explanation. Early check-in requires an extra fee, and on the morning of check-out, the concierge said that next time, one person can only store one item (we stored one suitcase and one backpack) 😅😅 No worries, there won't be a next time."

"The guy at the front desk who checked me in was really nice. When I was checking out, I ran into a cleaning lady in the elevator, and she was so kind, she even helped me carry my luggage. This is the first time I've stayed at a hotel in Korea that allowed a 12 PM checkout, I'm practically in tears of joy! T_T I stayed in a single room, and the space was more than enough for one person. The TV could play regular channels, and also had YouTube and Netflix. Disposable slippers were provided. Overall, I'm very satisfied."

"Convenient to travel from the airport—Bus 6009 stops nearby. The hotel is located right by the Orange Line subway. The staff provide good service and offer luggage storage. However, the downside is that the bed is very hard and not comfortable to sleep on. Overall, it’s a good stay."

"This hotel was a truly delightful surprise! Located in such a prime Gangnam spot, this designer hotel immediately impressed with its fresh and modern ambiance upon entry. The concierge was kind and friendly, and even spoke Chinese, which made getting around incredibly easy. The room was clean and tidy, offering exceptional value for money. You're surrounded by great shopping districts like Apgujeong, Sinsa-dong, and Cheongdam-dong, and it's just a short walk to Olive Young. There are also plenty of aesthetic clinics and great food options nearby. Despite all this, the streets are surprisingly quiet at night with very little traffic or footfall. All in all, it was a very comfortable and satisfying stay. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I visit Korea."

"3min to Exit 3 of Seolleung station, and airport bus 6703 is a 5min stroll away (at L7 hotel). Love the connectivity to the subway, and the neighbourhood has a lot of food options to offer. Emart hypermarket is an only 2 bus stops away. Toilet sometimes has a musty smell, and some of the shower towels look overused. But i appreciate the good housekeeping. Gym is small but well stocked. Only issue - I asked for a late check out of 30min and was rejected initially, i think there can be some flexibility there (i don’t think my request was unreasonable)."

"Tiny little hotel room but it was clean and had everything we needed. The hotel pyjamas were an unexpected amenity and cute. Breakfast at the rooftop bar was especially tasty, with a supply of blankets, and beautiful views that made it one of our highlights. The lobby scales to weigh our luggage also helped alot with packing for our flights. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and looked after our bags while we explored after checkout."

"This was my third stay here, so I'm quite familiar with the place. It's easily accessible by airport bus or subway, and offers great value for money. Even during the May Day holiday, the prices weren't high. It's super convenient for getting to Gangnam or Seongsu. Compared to Myeongdong or Hongdae, the streets around here are quieter and wider. I'd definitely consider staying here again next time."

"I was very impressed with my stay! Even though I didn't meet the staff directly because it's a check-in system via camera and microphone, communication was smooth and they were very helpful. We arrived before check-in time, and the accommodation allowed us to shower first and store our luggage, which was very convenient for early arrivals. The room was clean, with complete facilities, and a good location with easy transportation. Overall, I felt it was good value for money. It's a shame I didn't get to try the breakfast. If I have a chance to come back to Korea, I would definitely be happy to stay here again 😊"

"The hotel was about a 10-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station (the back streets are flatter than the main road, so I recommend that route!). It was clean and quiet, so I'd love to stay again. The front desk staff were also very kind and even upgraded my room and allowed for early check-in, as it happened to be available at the time! (This isn't guaranteed, it's all about timing). It was also very helpful that they held my luggage before check-in and after check-out. Thank you!"

"This is the best capsule hotel I've stayed at in Korea so far. It's right in the heart of Gangnam, just a five-minute walk to both bus stops and subway stations. Next door is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Joseon Royal Tombs, with a perfect running path circling the tombs. The hotel design is modern and zen, the common areas are comfortable and relaxing, and the room size is just right. I booked a VIP room which had a desk and space for large luggage. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and always ready to assist. The magazine selection in the public area showed great taste, and it's only a ten-minute walk to COEX."
