Hotels Near Mapo Art Center in Seoul

We made a good decision booking Ibis Ambassador Myeong-dong for our first trip to Korea.The hotel’s location is so convenient as it is located right at Myeong-dong’s night market. As Muslim travellers, we also had the option and convenient access to halal eateries which were just a few minutes walk from the hotel. There are many more halal food options slightly further away , maybe about a 10minutes walk which is still very convenient. The airport limousine bus stop is located right at the corner of the hotel which is also a big plus point since we didn’t have to worry about getting from and to the airport. They accept either cash or card for the ticket which cost KRW17.00 per person.The journey depending on traffic takes about 1.5 hrs and the frequency of the bus ,number 6015 is good. Being a 3 star hotel don’t expect any facilities. They do have a small gym and spa and a cafe/ restaurant where breakfast is served. We had breakfast on the 2nd day due to an early tour( Breakfast starts at 6.30am) but it was quite disappointing as the food like the scramble eggs was cold ….the only good thing was they had good coffee!😃 As for the room, the size was fine for my husband and I but the toilet was a bit small but still ok I guess .The only thing that I would appreciate is more lights in the room. Even with all the lights on it was gloomy…we had our curtains open to the max which was good in the day but at night …….you can use your imagination.😜 Conclusion:Will we stay here again 🤔…the answer is Yes….

The Good Great location. Great location to enjoy Myeongdong street. Night market of Myeongdong is so lively and beautiful and unique experience for Seoul trip. Obviously it feels much safer to stay at hotel nearby. As for hotel, they got nice wine shop at first floor. Their lobby located on low floor and not 1st floor. Although, there is guardman on 1st floor who seems to be reliable. Roof top bar is also in good prices unlike usual ”hotel price”. I stayed at ”low bed” room which seems to be unusual for Korea. It was comfortable and that different experience was fun. The BEST Staff are amazing. I personally think Shilla are in line of Lotte's rivary. (two of top Korean hotel brands) Staffs at this hotel were so amazing. They seemed to have great balance with character. I've seen staff who are sweet and very friendly. While I've also seen staff with sharp and precise manner. Shila staff are professional with more ”trained” manner. Very polite. I have no complain but the friendliness is always more welcome for me. The lady at rooftop bar was a goddess. Not only she was beautiful(excuse me). Her works were very well oriented and professional. Constantly eye checking on the floor, checkin on guests condition and making sure everything is all right, a friendly communication with foreign kids. It was past 11pm and they were about to close if I remember correctly. Unless a five star luxury hotel, at this time of the business, staff are chatting, ready to set free from work. No, not at all. They acted as if they just opened the bar. I really felt strange. The Bad Breakfast is operated by a tenant restaurant. So totally different experience. It kinda breaks the whole experience of hotel and basically, it's tenant restaurant so they won't treat you like hotel guest. They are polite but can't response anything to do with hotel. If you've travelled Korea or Seould before, I beleive there are no stress. but if you are first timer, there could be more helpful service for foreigner, easier access, easier location etc. There are so many different hotels in Myeongdong so I can't give comparison. Although, it's Korean brand and I believe it worth a stay.

Location: First of all, it was located in front of the bar of Chungmuro Station, so the accessibility was very good! As soon as I got off the station, it was easy to find because it was right there, and it was easy to move to the subway. In addition, there are many food nearby, so I ordered it to be delivered in the evening. At night, I went out with my friends and played in my favorite bar. 🍻 Room interior, cleanliness: First of all, the room stayed in a room for three people, but it was wider than I thought, so three people went to sleep. It was enough, very neat and clean. There was also a table, so it was easy to eat, and it was okay to bring a laptop and see the work! The bathroom is clean and Netflix is available (you need to use your own ID). There is a washing machine, induction, and sink, so you can cook and wash! (I haven't used it, but,) it was just new and tidy because the bathroom was just built. Is it a little unusual that the sink is on the outside? It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't as noisy as Hongdae or Sinchon. It was nice to be quiet at night, not like a noisy downtown area, but because of its good accessibility and location, it was convenient to use public transportation and places to eat or cafes around. It was nice to have a lot! I stayed with my friends, but I think it would be suitable if you are looking for a place to stay for long-distance business trips or business purposes.. !

Room is spacious but the dont change bed sheet everyday! The rooms are newly built bathrooms are seperate from toilet. Overall this is the best 4 star hotel that I have stayed!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is so close to many restaurants, coffee shops and two metro lines. It was also conveniently located to Gwangjang Market via a 10 minute walk, Bukchon Hanok Village 20 minutes via metro and Gyeonggbokgung Palace. You can easily hike Namsan Mt. Park all the way to Seoul Tower in about 90 minutes, starting from the hotel all the way to the top. The staff were very friendly and accommodating organizing taxi services and helping with directions to get around the city. The room needs a bit of updating but it was clean, functional, the bed was comfortable to sleep in and it had a nice view of North Seoul Tower. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!

3rd or 4th time staying here only because it’s convenient. There’s a direct limousine bus from the airport that stops just opposite the hotel. The nearest train station exit (exit 6) is full on all stairs though so keep in mind if you have luggage. Check in is easy but I’m still iffy about using code numbers for my room because anyone can break in easily. Had breakfast coupons but didn’t go as the last time I went it was close to nothing. Staff is nice and helpful as always.

Good location, and there are many restaurants nearby. There is a shuttle bus stop of Incheon airport in front of the hotel. It's very handy that there is a washing machine/dryer in the room. However, it is a pain in the **** that you have to book to use the pool, and you can only book once a day per room. A couple won't always go swimming at the same time. There are only two lifts in the hotel room tower. You have to be patient. The perfume in the lobby was a bit pungent.

🏨Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemu’s location is perfect! It’s literally next to Hyundai Outlet mall and other big shopping malls in Dongdaemun. 🚊Subway and bus stop is walking distance. 🍱 Tons of restaurants around to choose from. 🛍️ Most shops are open until 5am around Dongdaemun so even if you arrive in Seoul late, you can still walk around and check some stores. 📝note: the hotel’s check in lobby is on the 14th floor, and it’s self service (very convenient). They also provide free bus ride to some places (look at the picture for reference). 🚌Airport shuttle bus is 18,000won (94RMB)

Loved it so much, this is my second time staying here. Fantastic location - centrally located, can get anywhere in 10-30 mins. Bus stop right in-front of the hotel and Sinsa station 5 mins away. There’s a 7-11 next to the hotel. There’s food places around the Garousu-Gil shopping area - lots of the locals hang out there. There’s a cafe (lobby) and rooftop bar in the hotel. 10 mins walk to the Airport bus stop - super convenient to take the bus to/from the airport. Rooms are clean and minimalist. Just take note that amenities are limited as this is an eco friendly hotel. If you are travelling with someone bring or buy additional soap/shampoo as its bar soap/shampoo/conditioner (1 bar each). If you don’t want your room cleaned daily - hotel does leave a bag of clean towels and water top up at your door. Floor space it’s good to open 3 large suitcases flat. There are slots under the bed to keep 2 suitcases just like their photos show. Only thing lacking is hanging space - towel and clothes. Loved the free Dear Klairs skincare samples. Store was located down the street from the hotel, picked up a few things because of the samples. You can keep your luggage in the lobby so you don’t need to pay extra for a locker.

It was a really nice and clean, fairly new and modern hotel. Its fuss-free and functional for a solo traveller or couple. The location is close to amenities - convenience stores, McDonald’s, Paris Baguette and several other independent coffee stores. It is a tad bit of a walk to the main Gangnam shopping belt (approximately 15-20 minutes). Overall, a good hotel.
