I was very satisfied with the cleanliness and tidiness of the facilities.
The heating was warm, and the bathroom was separate from the room, so there was no noise disturbance. The bedding in the bathroom was clean and odor-free.
It's perfect for traveling with friends and family, so I plan to stay here again next time I'm looking for accommodations nearby.

The room was cozy, perfect for one person and still comfortable for two. It was extremely clean, with a large TV and a mirror that wasn't facing the bed, which I really appreciated. There were no noisy appliances either (many hotels have mini-fridges that hum, but this one was silent and very peaceful). It had a double-door entry system – you take off your shoes at the first door and put on slippers after the second. The soundproofing wasn't great, but it still felt very welcoming. Photos don't do it justice; it's much better in person, I highly recommend it! Downstairs, there's a microwave and two seats, so you can eat and charge your devices. Even though check-in is officially at 10 PM, they allowed me to check in a bit earlier since there was availability. I accidentally left some clothes behind when I left, and the staff kindly kept them safe for me. I then arranged for SF Express to pick them up and send them back home.
The hotel is conveniently located near Hongdae subway station, making it super easy to get to the airport by subway. It's also very close to Hongdae itself. Overall, the hotel was great, and they even offered some complimentary welcome drinks. Highly recommended!

The location is excellent, but the service was disappointing. A few issues worth noting:
1. Entrance Downlight
The entrance downlight automatically turns off after a few seconds. This becomes frustrating when trying to use the mirror, as the light repeatedly switches off and you have to walk toward the sensor each time to reactivate it.
2. Microwave Request
There is no microwave in the room. When we called to request one to heat up food (we were staying on Level 14), the staff asked us to go down to Level 7 (Lobby). After reaching the lobby, we were then told to follow them back up to Level 14 to use a staff lounge microwave. Since they already knew we were calling from Level 14, it would have made more sense to ask us to meet there directly.
3. Additional Toilet Paper Request
On the first day of our Seoul stay, my partner experienced food poisoning after having KBBQ nearby and had diarrhea and vomiting throughout the day. When we requested additional toilet paper, we were told to go down to the lobby to collect it ourselves. This will never happen in Japan.
4. Air Conditioning Issue
The ceiling air conditioning was not functioning. When we called to check, we were told it was no longer operational, and the initial suggestion was to open the window. However, the air quality index was around 300 at the time. A cooling fan was eventually offered, but the initial lack of awareness regarding the air quality was concerning.
Overall, while the location is very convenient, the service standards did not meet expectations.
Attached a picture of the air quality during our stay.

The highlight this time was how lively and convenient the surrounding area was. A big shout-out to a gentleman at the front desk; his attitude was exceptionally good and he made me feel very welcome. However, compared to my stay at this hotel a year ago, I was quite disappointed this time. Firstly, there's absolutely no need to book a balcony room – it's just a tiny corner, incredibly small, and the balcony room actually felt a bit smaller than a standard room. My next complaint is about the hotel breakfast; it was exactly the same for all four days, with no variety whatsoever. Lastly, the complimentary snacks and drinks in the room were only provided on the first day. Although the room was cleaned afterwards, they were never refilled.

Upon entering the room, there was a faint smell of smoke. The towels were a bit old, so I'd recommend bringing your own. The bed frame creaked easily. The pillows seemed to be down-filled and were super soft, but for me, they were too flat to sleep comfortably. The soundproofing wasn't great. However, the price was really cheap, and there's an elevator, so it's fair value for money. I chose to stay here instead of Hongdae just to be close to the coffee shop shown in the picture.

The motel was much colder than I thought. The location was good, but it was on a hill, so it was slippery coming down on a snowy day. The room smelled a bit like cigarette smoke.

This hotel is incredibly convenient due to its excellent transport links. The 6015 airport bus stops directly here, and it's served by two subway lines and the airport railway. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, especially in the Gongdeok Market, which has many traditional eateries worth checking out.

The location was a bit ambiguous and a bit narrow, but it wasn't bad for just sleeping since it was between a redeveloped area, an old house, and a big road.

Overall good stay
Pros - location is good, walkable to Hongdae station, good food, cafe and restaurants nearby, quite and not too crowded compared to other side of Hongdae, reasonable price, clear English instructions about how to check in and check out. Also you can deposit bags before check in and after check out.
Cons - no elevator, so me and my sister have a little bit trouble bring our 28inch luggage up to the third floor, so you should beware of large luggages. Small towels, And our room had water dripping at the ceiling all night that I need extra towel to clean the water on the floor
Very Good

GGuest UserThe room matched the pictures perfectly; it was a bit small but clean, hygienic, and well-equipped. We arrived at night on the first day, and by the second day, we discovered there was plenty to explore around the hotel. It's located near Anguk Station, and from the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see Jogyesa Temple. Gyeongbokgung Palace is right across the street, diagonally opposite the traffic light from the hotel entrance. There are also many new perfume shops and bakeries nearby. You can search on Xiaohongshu for more details. I even took a photo of the hotel lobby. The hotel has a dedicated luggage storage area, which is very convenient and thoughtful. Many locals stay here too.
DD24034****The location is excellent, right in the Myeongdong shopping district. The hygiene and environment are great, and the service is very good. They even have staff who speak Chinese. It's only a three to five-minute walk from Myeongdong Subway Station. Overall, I'm very satisfied. Even though it's in a bustling shopping area, it's not noisy at all at night.
MM438416****The biggest issue with this hotel is that the concierge staff doesn't help guests with their luggage. The doormen are great; they'll open car doors and bring your bags into the hotel. But once your luggage gets to the concierge, they just push it towards you and motion for you to take it to your room yourself. It's truly speechless. Both times I've stayed, no one has brought my suitcase to the room. Their lack of service awareness is a real letdown and significantly impacts the check-in experience. I probably won't be staying here again.
GGuest UserThis hotel offers incredible value for money! It's really luxurious and easy to find, located on the side of the building. It's about a seven-minute walk from Dongdaemun or Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, just follow the directions on Naver Maps. There are lots of shops nearby, especially towards Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, but it doesn't feel chaotic; I, as a solo female traveler, felt very safe. On the ground floor, there's a concierge who was very warm and polite, guiding me to the 14th floor for check-in. The lobby on the 14th floor is spacious, with several staff members, including some who speak Chinese. There's also a photo booth and a convenience store in the lobby. The room was huge! And it even had a bathtub! It was spotless, and the entire hotel smelled lovely. The cleaning lady was super cute and pretty, haha. I really enjoyed my stay, but there are two minor drawbacks, in my opinion. Firstly, the hairdryer's airflow was a bit weak, which wasn't very comfortable to use. Secondly, the soundproofing wasn't amazing, but it didn't disturb my sleep, so it was fine overall.
2203782****The room was very clean and offered excellent value for money. I was very satisfied with everything except for the lack of toiletries and disposable slippers. The location is also very convenient, and the soundproofing seems to be good as I didn't hear any noise from the hallway.
AAnonymous UserThis hotel is conveniently located near exits 4 and 5 of Seoul Station, which have direct elevators, making it super easy for those with large luggage! The rumors about homeless people near exits 7 and 8 are true, but I didn't encounter any issues, and since those exits only have stairs, I just avoided them entirely. It felt perfectly safe, so no worries there.
The biggest advantage of staying here is its proximity to the Airport Express and train lines. It's just a five-minute walk, which is incredibly convenient! Plus, Seoul Station has a Lotte Mart, so it's perfect for buying lots of groceries and carrying them straight back to your room.
You enter on the first floor and take the elevator directly up to the front desk on the second floor. The restaurant on the first floor has a lovely ambiance, especially in winter. The room itself wasn't large, but anyone who's traveled to Japan or Korea will understand that. Overall, it was clean, tidy, and quiet. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip!
YYengBOur family had a wonderful stay at Sollago Myeongdong Hotel. The room was very spacious and perfect for a family. It had two separate rooms, each with a double bed, plus two single beds in the living room. It fit our family of five very comfortably.
The unit was well equipped with a washer, smart TV, microwave, ref/freezer, and smart bidet, which made our stay easy and stress free—especially for a longer trip.
The location is a big plus. The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk to the subway and bus stops (Chungmuro), making it very convenient to get around Seoul. There is also a convenience store right downstairs, and many local Korean restaurants nearby, so food was never a problem.
Btw, it’s a self check-in/out hotel. Very modern indeed!
Overall, this hotel is a great choice for families who want space, comfort, and easy access to transport. We would gladly stay here again.
GGuest UserEven though there was a language barrier, the gentleman at the front desk was very diligent in using a few Chinese words to confirm our check-in and explain what was complimentary, which was really nice. The cleaning staff also helped clear out our trash daily. We, four people, stayed in one room for five days, and it was excellent value for money. The transportation was also convenient. I highly recommend it for those on a budget! ❤️
Ssurie wanLocated very close to famous myeongdong street. Very close to bus stop and myeondong teain station. Easy if use aiport limousine bus from incheon bcause the stop just 80 m from entrance. A list of halal restaurant nearby for muslm travellers for exmple mari meokja just infrom hotel, kampung ku and busan jib around 300 m from hotel and many more. Other attraction are within walking distance The staff were kind enough to let us chexk in 1 hr earlier. Room is spacious and clean. Can see namsan tower from the room
__WeChat287538****I got a free upgrade to a four-person room, which was quite spacious. They offer free luggage storage. If you arrive late, you don't have to worry because they'll leave your room card there for you to pick up. However, if you're concerned about your belongings, you might want to buy a lock at Daiso, as they don't provide one!
