Spa hotels in Seoul

"We checked in quite late this time because we were shopping in Incheon, and I'm really grateful to the front desk staff for waiting for us. We had a room with a loft, and it's super close to the airport. There also seems to be a waterfront park nearby. I'll definitely book again next time!"

"The location is super convenient; the 6002 airport bus takes you directly there. It's not right on the main road, so it's quiet at night, which is great for sleeping. The room was a bit small, but it had a large TV. My bathroom was under the stairs, which made me feel a bit like Harry Potter living in his aunt's cupboard under the stairs! But overall, it was still pretty good. There was a minor hiccup during check-in, but everything was resolved perfectly. All the staff were incredibly friendly and had a good command of English."

"I rarely write hotel reviews, but I just had to for this one! Today, I decided to explore a different area and moved to a hotel in Hongdae. The contrast was shocking – both are in popular Seoul areas, but the difference was huge! On that note, I'm going to call out 9 Bricks Hotel Hongdae as one to avoid. I'll be reviewing them when I check out tomorrow… Now, let me praise L'escape – the location is absolutely fantastic! It's right by Hoehyeon Station on Subway Line 4, Exit 7. From the escalator at the exit, there are signs directing you to the hotel! Honestly, you don't even need the signs because you can see the hotel as soon as you step out onto the street. There's a slight uphill walk, and as I was halfway up with my luggage, a hotel staff member came running out to help! The service was incredible! 👍 If you don't go above ground from Exit 7, the other direction leads directly into Shinsegae Department Store. It’s a multi-story department store with food, a duty-free shop, luxury goods, and affordable items – great for browsing! Outside on the ground level of Shinsegae, there's a 3D mega-screen, similar to the one at Taikoo Li in Chengdu, but much more visually appealing and with fewer advertisements. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from Myeongdong. As a proper tourist, Myeongdong is a must-visit! Especially after exploring Hongdae today… I really want to go back to Myeongdong! 😢 Now, about the hotel itself (my picture arrangement is a bit messy, can't adjust it yet…) The hotel itself has a distinctive style. It might feel a little old-fashioned and perhaps not ideal for families with young children, but it's clean, tidy, and still very refined! Even the elevators are decorated, somewhat reminiscent of The Ritz in London. The toiletries are BYREDO, just like at Six Senses. The mini-bar is completely free, and the Nespresso capsules and chocolates are excellent. The hotel's restaurant is Michelin-starred year after year – not cheap, but certainly fantastic. The Tea Lounge was closed by the time I arrived, but I'm sure it's also wonderful. The bar on the 26th floor is very chill, and you can get great photos with ease! The postcards provided in the room are beautiful, and they even offer free mailing! I also love the design of the notepads and the toiletry packaging – the hand-drawn illustration style is gorgeous! The hotel service is also excellent. Most of the staff speak English and are always ready to help with luggage, calling taxis, and opening car doors. In summary, it's a high-end hotel service experience through and through! But I only paid just over 800 RMB for my stay – it far exceeded my expectations! Next time I come to Seoul, I will 100% rebook this hotel."

"Booked a stay at Habio with a friend. I really appreciate the hotel staff for their excellent service, from the email communication before check-in to the thoughtful arrangements upon arrival – they were all so nice! It takes about 2 hours to get there from Incheon Airport by subway, and KSPO is only about 25 minutes from the hotel, which is super convenient! There are also plenty of great restaurants nearby, as well as CU and OY convenience stores. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time."
