Hotels near Jonggak Station, Seoul

I had a really great stay at this hostel! It’s super close to Jonggak Station, so getting around Seoul was incredibly easy. The place feels brand new, everything was very clean, modern, and nicely decorated. I stayed in a Deluxe Twin room, and it was spotless and really comfortable. The common areas were clean and cozy as well. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and they were always happy to help whenever I had questions. The location honestly couldn’t be better. There are tons of restaurants nearby, so finding something good to eat was never a problem. Myeongdong and Insadong are within walking distance, which made sightseeing really convenient. Cheonggyecheon Stream is right in front of the hostel, and Boshingak Bell Pavilion is just steps away, so the area feels lively but still relaxing. Transportation was super easy the whole time I was there. I would definitely stay here again, it’s such a great base for exploring Seoul! 😊!!

I'm a solo traveler, and this was my first time staying here. I usually focus on cleanliness and convenience when choosing accommodation, and for that reason, Stay Ohana was perfect for me. The place was very clean, and the facilities were excellent. They pay great attention to detail — they even provided slippers and a bath bag, which I really appreciated.

I stayed at Hotel Hertz in Seoul and honestly, the location was amazing. The hotel is right in front of Jongno 3-ga Station (Exit 4), which made getting around super easy. There are heaps of restaurants right outside that stay open until midnight, so even if you arrive late, you’ll always find somewhere to eat. There are also lots of convenience stores nearby. Myeongdong is only about a 15-minute walk, and the famous Ikseon-dong Hanok Village is just a 5-minute walk away. For the price, you really can’t beat this location. Amenities are pretty basic — only four small towels and two bottles of water were provided. If you need more water, they sell two bottles for $1 at the lobby, and there’s a vending machine where you can buy things like toothbrushes or shavers. I mainly saw foreign tourists staying here and no Korean guests, so the staff are clearly used to dealing with foreigners. They cleaned the room every day, although I don’t think the duvet cover or pillowcases were changed since the same stain was still there after cleaning. That said, the room was overall clean, comfortable, and very convenient. One of the best parts was the big bathtub — it was really nice to relax and take a bath every day. The room also came with a hair dryer, hair straightener, and even different types of chargers, which was super helpful. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel that’s great value for money!!!

The room quality really matches the price. It's good value for money. Not super big, but everything is clean and tidy. The decor isn't old-fashioned, and there are no strange smells. Overall, it's very comfortable. However, the entrance downstairs is small; you have to take the elevator up to the 8th floor to reach the lobby.

Here's a breakdown of my stay, highlighting the pros and cons: **The Good:** * There's a lounge on each floor (or so it seemed) offering complimentary coffee and instant ramen. Laundry facilities, including a washing machine, detergent, and fabric softener, are also available for free use. I didn't personally use them, nor did I see anyone else using them. * The place was incredibly clean. Oddly enough, there were chairs in the hallway. * The location is fantastic! There are tons of restaurants nearby, so you'll never be short of dining options. It's also very close to the train station. * I had a late check-in planned, but the staff communicated with me beforehand via message, which put my mind at ease. After 9 PM, check-in is done via a kiosk. * I was able to request an extra room key. * The refrigerator is a good, family-sized one, and the freezer has plenty of space. * They even provide toothbrushes, which is a rare find these days! Bath towels are also included. You can freely replenish toilet paper and hand towels, and fresh bath towels can be obtained from the front desk. **The Not-So-Good:** * I could faintly hear karaoke sounds seeping through the walls, but it didn't bother me personally. * Because there's a PC center (or similar) and a karaoke establishment in the building, I sometimes had to wait for an elevator, as they were often full. * The shower drain had a slight odor. * While the shower and toilet are somewhat separated, they're very close together and the space is extremely cramped. Toilet paper, shampoo, and other items are placed directly above the toilet, so you have to be careful when showering to avoid soaking the toilet paper. There seem to be frequent complaints about the karaoke noise, and they appear to be taking measures to address it (I've included a photo at the end). Overall, it offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely consider staying here again if the opportunity arises.

This is a great hotel right in the heart of the city, close to several metro stations and in the middle of a lively nightlife area. It’s practically across the street from the airport bus stop, which makes it very convenient when traveling with luggage. Despite the central location, it was quiet at night. The hotel occupies the 4th and 5th floors of the building, with a Thai restaurant on the lower floors. The room was simple but had enough storage space. Since I was staying alone, it felt quite spacious though for two people it might be a bit tight. The only real inconvenience was the shower without an enclosed cabin, but everything dried quickly and there was no musty smell, so it wasn’t a big issue. Although the hotel is relatively new, some areas already show a bit of wear, but it didn’t affect my stay at all. Everything that mattered was clean and well-maintained. I really liked that guests can help themselves to fresh towels, toilet paper, or bottled water at any time. There’s also a small kitchen area where you can make coffee or instant noodles, as well as washing machines available for use. Special thanks to the hotel manager. He was very kind and helpful and quickly solved my luggage storage issue. It’s also very convenient that you can contact the hotel through several different messaging apps. I stayed for six days, and the only minor downside was that the air in the room felt a bit stuffy when returning after a day out (since the air conditioner was off all day), but that was easily fixed by turning it back on.

This was my second time staying at Ninetree Insadong, the first time booked on a different platform. The location is excellent, right across from Jogyesa Temple (you can book a room with a temple view) and near two subway stations, Anguk on Line 3 (nearer) and Jonggak on Line 1 (slightly farther but still within walking distance). The location made it easy to get around Seoul by public transport and the hotel is also near the airport bus 6011 stop, so you travel to and from the airport easily. I also appreciated the fact that the hotel is right above the Anyoung Insadong mall which made it convenient to grab snacks or drinks or souvenirs from the mall's shops. You also get easy access to Insadong street with lots of eateries, cafes and souvenir shops. The area has a relaxed cultural vibe without being overcrowded. If you are vegetarian or vegan, the area has a number of vegetarian and vegan eateries. The room itself was fairly standard for a four star hotel. The staff were very helpful when I needed to make calls to a local number to arrange something and also helped with communication and translation. Kudos to the wonderful staff.

Check-in was very convenient, and they could communicate in English, Chinese, and Korean. The front desk staff were all very nice! It was raining, so I even borrowed an umbrella from the hotel. Across from the hotel is a police station (which made me feel quite safe), and there's a convenience store nearby where you can buy a transportation card. There's a bus stop about 100 meters away, and it's also very convenient to take the airport bus. Remember to take bus 6002; I accidentally took 6015 on the way there and had to walk several hundred meters extra. Getting to Myeongdong is super easy, only about a 10-minute bus ride.

Conveniently located in Myeongdong, it's very easy to get around. Myeongdong Street Food Alley is right downstairs, and the subway is also easily accessible. As shown in picture 3, Lotte Duty-Free is just outside the door. The only downside is that the room is a bit small and has no window.

The room was spacious, very clean, and got tidied up daily. The soundproofing was excellent too. There's an airport bus from Incheon that drops you right at the hotel entrance, which is super convenient. The fare is about 85 RMB. The hotel is a 5-6 minute walk to Subway Line 2, and it takes about 15 minutes to get to Myeongdong. Shinsegae and Lotte Department Stores are roughly 10 minutes away. Plus, there's a CU convenience store right downstairs. Overall, it's incredibly convenient and safe. I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit! 😊
