Hotels near Jonggak Station, Seoul

I had a really great stay at this hostel! It’s super close to Jonggak Station, so getting around Seoul was incredibly easy. The place feels brand new, everything was very clean, modern, and nicely decorated. I stayed in a Deluxe Twin room, and it was spotless and really comfortable. The common areas were clean and cozy as well. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and they were always happy to help whenever I had questions. The location honestly couldn’t be better. There are tons of restaurants nearby, so finding something good to eat was never a problem. Myeongdong and Insadong are within walking distance, which made sightseeing really convenient. Cheonggyecheon Stream is right in front of the hostel, and Boshingak Bell Pavilion is just steps away, so the area feels lively but still relaxing. Transportation was super easy the whole time I was there. I would definitely stay here again, it’s such a great base for exploring Seoul! 😊!!

It's a hostel hotel. Hygiene is impeccable, service is great and location is good. I will definitely come back. You pay a little extra for a hostel but get great quality. Well worth it. There is a large lobby to work in, chill or eat. Lockers are provided and the beds are very comfy.

I stayed at Hotel Hertz in Seoul and honestly, the location was amazing. The hotel is right in front of Jongno 3-ga Station (Exit 4), which made getting around super easy. There are heaps of restaurants right outside that stay open until midnight, so even if you arrive late, you’ll always find somewhere to eat. There are also lots of convenience stores nearby. Myeongdong is only about a 15-minute walk, and the famous Ikseon-dong Hanok Village is just a 5-minute walk away. For the price, you really can’t beat this location. Amenities are pretty basic — only four small towels and two bottles of water were provided. If you need more water, they sell two bottles for $1 at the lobby, and there’s a vending machine where you can buy things like toothbrushes or shavers. I mainly saw foreign tourists staying here and no Korean guests, so the staff are clearly used to dealing with foreigners. They cleaned the room every day, although I don’t think the duvet cover or pillowcases were changed since the same stain was still there after cleaning. That said, the room was overall clean, comfortable, and very convenient. One of the best parts was the big bathtub — it was really nice to relax and take a bath every day. The room also came with a hair dryer, hair straightener, and even different types of chargers, which was super helpful. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel that’s great value for money!!!

Clean & comfortable hotel in a very good area! The rooms are small but they are enough for a few days! You get what you pay for; so it’s a good deal 😀 Would stay here again next time we’re in Seoul!

Here's a breakdown of my stay, highlighting the pros and cons: **The Good:** * There's a lounge on each floor (or so it seemed) offering complimentary coffee and instant ramen. Laundry facilities, including a washing machine, detergent, and fabric softener, are also available for free use. I didn't personally use them, nor did I see anyone else using them. * The place was incredibly clean. Oddly enough, there were chairs in the hallway. * The location is fantastic! There are tons of restaurants nearby, so you'll never be short of dining options. It's also very close to the train station. * I had a late check-in planned, but the staff communicated with me beforehand via message, which put my mind at ease. After 9 PM, check-in is done via a kiosk. * I was able to request an extra room key. * The refrigerator is a good, family-sized one, and the freezer has plenty of space. * They even provide toothbrushes, which is a rare find these days! Bath towels are also included. You can freely replenish toilet paper and hand towels, and fresh bath towels can be obtained from the front desk. **The Not-So-Good:** * I could faintly hear karaoke sounds seeping through the walls, but it didn't bother me personally. * Because there's a PC center (or similar) and a karaoke establishment in the building, I sometimes had to wait for an elevator, as they were often full. * The shower drain had a slight odor. * While the shower and toilet are somewhat separated, they're very close together and the space is extremely cramped. Toilet paper, shampoo, and other items are placed directly above the toilet, so you have to be careful when showering to avoid soaking the toilet paper. There seem to be frequent complaints about the karaoke noise, and they appear to be taking measures to address it (I've included a photo at the end). Overall, it offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely consider staying here again if the opportunity arises.

This is a great hotel right in the heart of the city, close to several metro stations and in the middle of a lively nightlife area. It’s practically across the street from the airport bus stop, which makes it very convenient when traveling with luggage. Despite the central location, it was quiet at night. The hotel occupies the 4th and 5th floors of the building, with a Thai restaurant on the lower floors. The room was simple but had enough storage space. Since I was staying alone, it felt quite spacious though for two people it might be a bit tight. The only real inconvenience was the shower without an enclosed cabin, but everything dried quickly and there was no musty smell, so it wasn’t a big issue. Although the hotel is relatively new, some areas already show a bit of wear, but it didn’t affect my stay at all. Everything that mattered was clean and well-maintained. I really liked that guests can help themselves to fresh towels, toilet paper, or bottled water at any time. There’s also a small kitchen area where you can make coffee or instant noodles, as well as washing machines available for use. Special thanks to the hotel manager. He was very kind and helpful and quickly solved my luggage storage issue. It’s also very convenient that you can contact the hotel through several different messaging apps. I stayed for six days, and the only minor downside was that the air in the room felt a bit stuffy when returning after a day out (since the air conditioner was off all day), but that was easily fixed by turning it back on.

The 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.

Check-in was very convenient, and they could communicate in English, Chinese, and Korean. The front desk staff were all very nice! It was raining, so I even borrowed an umbrella from the hotel. Across from the hotel is a police station (which made me feel quite safe), and there's a convenience store nearby where you can buy a transportation card. There's a bus stop about 100 meters away, and it's also very convenient to take the airport bus. Remember to take bus 6002; I accidentally took 6015 on the way there and had to walk several hundred meters extra. Getting to Myeongdong is super easy, only about a 10-minute bus ride.

Conveniently located in Myeongdong, it's very easy to get around. Myeongdong Street Food Alley is right downstairs, and the subway is also easily accessible. As shown in picture 3, Lotte Duty-Free is just outside the door. The only downside is that the room is a bit small and has no window.

This is my second time staying at Koreana Hotel. We book the apartment style room. The room is spacious and very clean. The location is at Gwanhamun which is very convenient. it is easy to get a taxi outside the hotel. From the airport we just get on a bus (6701) and the bus stop right in front of the hotel. We arrived quite early and inquire if we can check in early and the staff are very helpful. We manage to check in early with a small fee which is not a big problem since we are travelling from the night before and really need to freshen up and take a bit of rest. We did not try the food as we are muslim and need Halal food but there are room service menu that we can order for food from the room. I hope the the hotel will be more upgraded after their refurbishment. Will look forward to the new renovated room. Will definitely come back again
