Romantic Hotels in Seoul

"Booked a family room, it was quite spacious with two large beds and enough room to lay out two suitcases. The bathroom was a bit small, but that's a common issue. The location is excellent, convenient for getting around and shopping, and about an hour's drive from Incheon. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and across the street, there's a popular backbone stew place and a salt bread shop. The salt bread was fantastic, wondering if it's the same one as in Seongsu."

"The front desk service was pretty mediocre and unwelcoming. When our driver helped us with our luggage, they just stood there. The location is good, but they charge extra for an additional blanket. Overall, it's still decent. We chose this place because there were six of us. It's lively downstairs but surprisingly not noisy. The BBQ fried chicken next door is delicious and highly recommended!"

"First off, this is a legitimate hotel, not a guesthouse or a self-built inn. It has all the standard hotel amenities. It's definitely a suitable place to stay. Now, regarding the location, don't trust some of the online guides. This area isn't a commercial district or where tourists would typically want to go. It's a wholesale market hub, much like Beijing's Zoo Market or Chengdu's Lotus Pond Market – places that open at night for stocking up and close during the day. Within a two-kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of tailor shops. Of course, there are some malls that are open during the day, but they're very few, so it's not recommended for tourists to stay here. I chose this place because I was returning to China from Busan, wanted a good night's rest, and needed to go to Gimpo Airport the next day. For everyone else, it's probably best to stick to hotels near Myeongdong; having Lotte Department Store right outside is the way to go. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste; you have to buy them from a vending machine. They really don't offer them at all, unlike other hotels where they might not actively provide them but will give them to you if you ask, like a razor. The two beds are roughly the size you'd find in a student dormitory. The breakfast *looked* like it would be good, but the reality was that it ended at 10 AM, with last entry at 9:30 AM. I went around 8:40 AM, and all that was left was sliced bread, sliced baguette, and instant noodles. As for scrambled eggs, bacon fried rice, which should have been there, I didn't see any – they were gone by at least 8:30 AM, and they didn't restock at all. The small pots for dishes in my pictures were all empty. I only managed to eat four small mushrooms. The hotel description mentioned sausages and other items, but there was absolutely nothing. In the end, I had a cup of instant noodles and a glass of grape juice."

"The location is great, just a five to six-minute walk to Myeongdong shopping street, and a few more minutes to Lotte Department Store and the duty-free shop. It's also quite close to Dongdaemun; a taxi ride costs only a few dollars. The room is spacious for a Korean hotel, big enough to fully open a 30-inch suitcase. To store luggage, you need to go to B3 where there are lockers that are easy to use and very convenient. There's a small convenience store in the hotel lobby, which is handy for grabbing some snacks when you're tired from returning to the hotel. There are also many restaurants nearby."

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the service throughout my stay was top-notch. The staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and helpful, which made us feel right at home. Its location is super convenient, with a metro station just a short walk away, making getting around the city very easy. The only minor downside is that it is a bit far from major tourist spots like Myeongdong and Seongsu-dong. However, given the comfort, quality service, and easy transit access, I would still highly recommend staying here!"

"The side of the hotel facing the train tracks was a bit noisy. Also, the hotel doesn't have a free laundry room or a dryer, so the hotel amenities description needs to be updated! However, there's a 24-hour self-service laundry about 200-300 meters straight ahead to the right when you exit the hotel. The hotel staff member pointed me to another place, which was a bit far but in the right direction. The airport bus stop is right in front of McDonald's across the street, and you can scan a QR code for bus information. Everything else was great. It's close to the subway and Lotte Department Store, and there are several food streets nearby, mainly featuring Korean BBQ, fried chicken, and drinking spots."

"My daughter had a layover in Seoul, so I booked her this downtown hotel for a two-day stay before her next flight. There's an affordable and comfortable express bus that goes directly to Incheon Airport, just make sure to have Korean Won cash ready for the fare. In Seoul, I'd recommend using public transport; it's safer and more reliable, and tourists generally won't get ripped off. My daughter, however, learned this the hard way right after landing when she used Uber. It was like dealing with a 'black cab' driver from twenty years ago in China, charging her nearly four times the standard fare and almost emptying all the Korean Won she'd exchanged at the airport. It was an awful experience and really tarnishes Seoul and Korea's international image. My daughter said she never wants to visit Korea again. The hotel itself was decent; she didn't encounter any unpleasant issues during her stay. There are convenient stores and small restaurants nearby that are great for exploring, and the spicy Tteokbokki she ordered for delivery was delicious. As for the complaints from other tourists on Xiaohongshu, she just took them with a pinch of salt."
