New Hotels in Seoul

"Pretty good overall, though the 10 AM check-in was a bit of a hassle. The service was excellent, the room was very spacious, and the front desk staff were really friendly. All in all, very satisfied, and the location was super convenient too."

"Upon arrival, there's a pull-up banner at the main entrance. You scan the QR code for self-check-in, and it will give you the door code. The room was decent, with underfloor heating. There's one single bed and one double bed, which was perfectly fine for two women. It's not super close to the subway station; it's about a 6-7 minute walk (assuming you don't have luggage). The Incheon Airport bus 6015 stop is indeed nearby, but still about a 5-6 minute walk. It's also a bit of a distance from the Myeongdong shopping area. If you've bought a lot of things, there's no way you're walking back to the hotel… Overall, it was okay. The value for money wasn't great; it would be a much better option if the price were a bit lower."

"Good points: The location is excellent. The bus stop for Incheon Airport is right nearby. There were also many restaurants open late, so I could enjoy a meal even after a late concert. The common areas were kept clean, and the cold water provided was a lifesaver. The refrigerator and microwave were also clean. The other guests were very quiet, and I wasn't bothered by outside noise. Having a trash can in the room was convenient, so I didn't have to climb down from the top bunk just to throw things away. Bad points: Towels were placed on the top shelf of the locker, and water, earplugs, and slippers were on the bottom. However, the bottom shelf was designated for shoes, so I was uncomfortable with those items being placed directly in that space. The shower booth was very small. There was no bath mat, so the floor was soaking wet, and the wetness spread to the toilet area. On Saturday night, many people used the facilities, so there was a lot of hair on the floor, and the trash cans were overflowing. I requested a bottom bunk but was assigned a top bunk. The stairs were steep, which I found difficult, and someone on the bottom bunk had hung their clothes, making it even harder to climb. When I closed the bed curtain, the air conditioning couldn't reach, so it got very hot while I was sleeping. There was a lockable storage space next to the bed, but it contained opened feminine hygiene products, so I didn't use that space. On my second day, when I returned to the hotel, my locker had inexplicably reset to 0000 instead of my set combination. There were instructions in Japanese in the room, and the staff were very pleasant. The check-in terminal also had a Japanese option, making it easy to use."

"The hotel is a great option for travelers looking for an affordable place to stay without sacrificing convenience. While the room was on the smaller side, it was sufficient for two people. One unique aspect of the layout is that the sink is positioned outside the shower and toilet area, located near the bed—which may feel a bit unusual at first but is manageable. Here are some key points from our stay: PROS: • The location is excellent—close to subway and bus stations, restaurants, and shopping areas. It’s right in the heart of everything. • The reception staff were very accommodating, friendly, and professional throughout our stay. • The hotel lobby had a consistently pleasant and welcoming scent, which added to the overall experience. CONS: • There is no proper cabinet for clothes—only a few hangers and limited space to store belongings. • Reception is not available 24/7. However, clear instructions are provided in case assistance is needed outside operating hours. Staff are available from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. • The air conditioning system is centralized. This means you cannot individually control cooling if the building is set to heating mode. Opening the window/door is an option, but it can get quite noisy due to the hotel’s busy location. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The hotel offers great value for money and is highly recommendable, especially for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location. We would definitely consider staying here again if we return to Seoul. Thank you to the Hertz Hotel team for the wonderful experience!"

"My friend and I stayed here during our trip to Korea, and we had a wonderful experience. It’s actually not easy to find a clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced hotel in the Yeongdeungpo area, but this place exceeded our expectations. The room was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, and everything was well maintained. The hotel was quiet at night, so we slept really well. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the check-in process was smooth. The location was also very convenient, with restaurants, convenience stores, and public transportation nearby. It was a great base for exploring Seoul. We were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely choose this hotel again on our next trip to Korea. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Yeongdeungpo!"

"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 😊"

"Stayed in a Family Type A room with 2 people. Pros: * **Spacious room:** Plenty of space to open two suitcases (one large, one medium). * **Large beds:** Both beds were generously sized. * **Amenities:** Comes with bottled water, chopsticks, plastic spoons (can get unlimited from the amenity shelf on the first floor), a refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, pajamas, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairdryer, 2 bath towels, 4 face towels, and large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in the shower. * **Housekeeping:** On the first night, only towels were changed, but from the second day onwards, both towel changes and bed making were done properly. * **Ceiling height:** Some reviews mentioned low ceilings, but it didn't bother me at all. The room (or perhaps the building itself) felt more like a renovated apartment than a typical hotel. * **Adjustable AC:** Air conditioning could be individually controlled. * **Large TV:** Big screen TV with access to Netflix and YouTube (can log in to personal accounts). * **Separate toilet and shower:** The toilet and shower are in separate areas, so the floor doesn't get wet. * **Free access to basement bath:** Seemed like the large bath in the basement was free with a QR code given at check-in (though I ended up showering every night as I returned late). Cons: * **No screen on large window:** The small window had a screen, but the large one didn't (though I didn't need to open the window much, as I returned late every day). * **Toilet paper flushing:** You can't flush toilet paper down the toilet. * **No locks or changing area:** The shower room was to the right of the sink, and the toilet to the left, but neither had a lock, and there was no dedicated changing area. * **One key card:** Only one key card for two guests. * **Elevator security:** No need to tap the room key to use the elevator, which means anyone could potentially access the floors. * **Weak shower pressure:** The water pressure in the shower was a bit low. * **Lack of bedside outlets:** Couldn't find any power outlets by the bed (only found two in the kitchen and two to the left of the washing machine)."

"It was our first trip to Seoul with the kids, and we had a great rest at this wonderful accommodation. Our schedule for the day was packed and tiring, but we rested well at the place. Our summer clothes were soaked in sweat, but thanks to the washing machine, we were able to bring them back safely without any lingering smells. All the facilities were well-equipped, and we experienced no inconvenience using them. We couldn't find any laundry detergent, so we bought some ourselves and left it behind. It would be great if you could leave some out for us to use. If you are using public transportation, it is closest to get off at Seoul Venture Town Station on the subway. I think it would be great for families traveling to Seoul. You can cook your own meals, and the large refrigerator is a plus. It was a wonderful trip. Thanks to you, we were able to handle the next day's schedule and return home safely. Thank you. Oh, the photos are exactly as the owner posted them, so I just uploaded a shot of the front entrance. It is impeccably clean."

"This hotel was newly renovated and opened only a week ago, so there's a strong smell of fresh paint. The staff are incredibly hardworking. I noticed that several things, like the intercom and light switches, weren't working properly, possibly still undergoing inspection, so I informed them to be helpful. Seeing how dedicated the staff are, it seems they rushed the opening before all inspections were completed. The location is a bit set back from the main road, making it hard to walk in the hot summer, but it's a manageable distance for a stroll from the subway station. On weekdays, it's moderately busy, but with many hair salons, coffee shops, and restaurants around, the streets get very crowded with people and cars on Friday nights. I wouldn't recommend it for a family trip."

"Before choosing a hotel, I always read reviews. Many mentioned the neighborhood was noisy, and that's definitely true, but it's not a fault of the hotel itself. It's just part of the area. However, if you're a first-timer in Seoul and want to hit as many sights as possible in minimal time, this is one of the best neighborhoods. Gyeongbokgung Palace is a 40-minute walk away, and the Han River is just around the corner. The subway station, two minutes away, can take you anywhere. The room is clean and simple. It's thoroughly cleaned before check-in, but there's no cleaning service during your stay. For me, that's a plus rather than a minus; I don't like people entering my room when I'm not there. The room has a TV, a fridge, and a separate shower. But if you're traveling with a friend you don't know very well yet, be prepared to step out of the room when someone is showering. Or you'll become best friends! :) Regarding amenities for daily comfort: 1. There's a communal kitchen with a coffee machine, hot and cold water dispenser, stove, and microwave. 2. There's a washing machine with a drying function: two hours, and no need to find a place to hang wet clothes. 3. There's a garment steamer – instantly boosts comfort by +10,000 points. Reviews also complained about noisy neighbors. I didn't encounter any during my stay: just students, couples with kids, and lovely ahjummas. If someone does seem noisy, earplugs are readily available. At one point, the water was supposed to be shut off for repairs, and the hostel staff brought two bottles of water directly to my room. The hostel owner checks in to see how things are going and engages in small talk with repeat guests. If you're a solo traveler, I definitely recommend it. Yes, it's a 'walking' neighborhood, but throughout my entire stay, I never once felt unsafe. Special thanks for the umbrella sharing! 🤍"
