3-Star Hotels in Seoul

Fourth stay. Facilities are well-maintained over our repeat visits, easy self check-in instructions and arrival/departure routes via airport bus and Line 3 subway. Ikseon-dong remains a fun and cosy neighbourhood to be based in whenever we are back in Seoul. We will be back soon!

The hotel's location is excellent. It's very close to Sinsa Subway Station, and if you stick to the main road, there's no steep hill like some photos online might suggest. It's right next to Seoul Forest, and you can walk to Apgujeong in about 10-15 minutes. There's also a three-story Olive Young just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, which is super convenient! While the rooms aren't huge, the soundproofing is pretty good, and the shower water pressure is absolutely fantastic! If you stay here, definitely make sure to check out the cafe on the top floor – the views are amazing. Overall, highly recommend. (Pics 1 & 2: Hotel rooftop cafe/bar.

The room itself was decent, aside from the lack of soundproofing. The only real issue was that if you weren't careful upstairs, you'd constantly bump your head – I did it about four or five times! However, it's still pretty good value for money, given the low price.

It doesn't feel like you are staying at a hotel. It gave me the family vibes. The best thing is that all counter staff spoke good English, and they are very obliging. Special mentions to Mr Kim, Jong min, MJ, and the cleaning staff Madam Chi. On the first night of our stay, we encountered some issues with our room. As it was a Friday night, no alternative room was available. MJ put up a request for change of room that night, and we got our room before 1200 the next day. Clean rooms, professional staff who spoke good English, and good location. Highly recommended! We will be back for sure!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The service was attentive and friendly from check-in to check-out. The location is superb close to shops and restaurants, yet still quiet enough for a good night's rest. The hotel itself feels brand new, with modern furnishings and spotless rooms. Everything was clean, fresh, and well thought out. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travellers.

The room is small and a little boring but you’re paying for the location, and it’s comfortable and clean. There’s a good beer bar, Seoulista, on the ground floor. There’s is an aerial walkway connected, which goes to Seoul Station. You can also use the metro Exit 7 (I think) but it will charge you just for walking through if you are coming from the AirPort Express. The breakfast arrangements are quite eccentric, but I had a good breakfast.

Stayed at Myeongdong Merlin Hotel for a short transit and overall it was a good experience. The location is convenient about 15–20 minutes to Myeongdong Night Street, which is great if you want easy access to shopping and food. We arrived quite late (around 10pm) after traveling from Busan and checked out early at 5am to head to ICN airport. Even with the short stay, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, which we really appreciated after a long journey. We were traveling in a big group (18 people), and the hotel managed us well. Rooms were clean and facilities were sufficient for a short stay. Service was also efficient. Overall, a solid and convenient choice especially for short stays or transit in Seoul 👍

Its at a prime location thats for sure. Convenience to most desired travel locations within Seoul City. Room was decent too with necessary amenities all provided and rather big. Only thing we didn’t really like is the room toilet lights being automated so if you’re in there for too long, the lights switch off on its own and you need to ask your roommate to switch it on for you. No views out the window though but not really an issue for us. Lobby is as good as a mini convenience store with anything you will need. Though there’s also plenty of others nearby, with lots of restaurants too.

It's always a nice stay here! The location is very great, olive young is downstairs , and the subway station also downstairs, it's near the airport bus stop too! They have bidet and the toilet is scpacious, the room also spacious, you can store many luggages, they have tables and chairs too for you to eat or have some work, their receptionist lobby and all the staff also very helpful during my stay, definitely recommended, not to mention they have 24h convenient store at the 3rd floor and laundry room

Nice location, it will take about 10 minutes from the metro station. Modern fashionable business location of the Gangnam? Sorry, it is not. Urban beauty of the Seoul is so-so. Cafes or restaurants aren't very close, but not so far. But the sport cafe with evening soccer translation is close and you will hear it all the might very well. Facilities.. You will have no toothbrush and soap. Only single use shampoo and shower gel that weren't updated even every day. Towels also not refreshed every day. Multiple use sleepers. Drinking water you may find in the hidden fridge. Electric kettle i have not use. I dont remember, maybe the tea bags where available. Even condoms where but i prefer a toothpaste with toothbrush. Once i have asked to clean the room it was ignored. But on the third day was done. One time at my 4 night stay. The best option i have met as EU standard USB 2A phone charger which helped me every night. As i have took chinese standard charger only, so stupid for me. Might be smarter next trip. Hope my currency rate will grow again and the hotel costs with these weathers will not look so high. But last time i expected more. Anyway thank you!
