Mountain view Hotels in Seoul

The Shilla Seoul is by far the most comfortable hotel I stayed at during this trip to Seoul. Having had a great experience at the Jeju Shilla previously, I wanted to see how the Seoul property would compare. The bedding was comfortable, and the shower had fantastic water pressure—the kind where you can actually have a proper shower. They use Dyson hair dryers instead of the old-fashioned ones, which was quite nice. As for the service, the staff all had rather professional, practiced smiles; I just wish they could be a bit warmer to Chinese guests! I loved the smoked salmon at The Library bar—it was insanely delicious with top-notch quality, plus it came with my beloved dill! We ate it for several days in a row! The live singers, both male and female, were quite good and created a great atmosphere! However, a middle-aged male waiter with glasses at the bar was rather snobbish and treated Chinese guests differently. Also, the legendary pastries from the bakery were, in my opinion, quite mediocre. On the downside, the pillows were much too high, which could easily give you a stiff neck. The room rates have gone up a bit ridiculously. You don't need an adapter to charge your devices, and there are plenty of outlets in the room, which is a big plus! Established luxury hotels are still a safe bet, and you can see quality in the details.

🤞 This was my first time booking a capsule hotel, and I hesitated for a long time, only daring to book after seeing so many positive reviews. After staying here, I give it a massive thumbs-up and highly recommend it! 😘 When I arrived, the overall vibe was really nice. 1F has self-service check-in and check-out. Check-in is strictly after 3:00 PM, but you can store your luggage on the L floor (free for 6 hours). The L floor lobby and cafe have a very chill atmosphere. The shared capsule area was super quiet and super clean. There are separate luggage storage areas, separate restrooms, separate shower rooms, and a separate vanity area—unexpectedly clean and tidy! Since everyone was staying solo, the guests were also very considerate and high-class; it was super quiet with no one talking. The only thing that bothered me, as a light sleeper, was at night: because some people came in rather late, even without talking, you could still hear the movement as they went in and out. As a light sleeper, I couldn't get into a deep sleep because of this. 👍 The biggest surprise was that when I came back the next day, the hotel had left free room upgrade notices in both Chinese and English on my bed and locker door! They upgraded me to a private bunk-bed capsule room! It was amazing! The room soundproofing was super good, not a single sound! 👏 Lastly, I almost forgot to mention that the hotel's location is prime. It's right at the Myeongdong Subway Station exit. Lotte and Shinsegae duty-free shops are both nearby within walking distance. The Namdaemun children's clothing market is also close by, and the Olive Young Myeongdong flagship store is right across the street. All in all, it's super convenient! You can walk pretty much anywhere!

The room was a bit small. I stayed in a single room on the fourth floor, right by the stairs. The balcony door upstairs was broken and kept rattling in the wind, which was noisy. Footsteps from other guests and the sound of the luggage lift outside my door also disturbed my sleep. I'd recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones, especially considering the unbeatable price. The room was well-equipped, and self-service was quite high; you could grab towels yourself and there was a water dispenser. The location is excellent, though dragging luggage up to it was incredibly tiring. Myeongdong subway station is right next door, and N Seoul Tower isn't far either, which is really nice.

Good place to stay with various local eateries around. Less crowded than staying in Myeongdong shopping street. Has a gym overlooking mountains and rooftop lounge overlooking Namsan Tower.

The hotel is conveniently located right outside Gate 6001 of the airport bus stop (Hoehyeon Station), and there are subway entrances within a few minutes' walk in either direction. It's about a 15-minute walk to Myeongdong, which is a bit of a distance. There was a BBQ smell in the lower levels of the hotel, and I suspect the front desk assigns rooms based on nationality because the first thing I noticed upon entering my room was an unpleasant odor. The hotel fridge had complimentary drinks, and the bedding was very comfortable. It's the quality you'd expect from an InterContinental hotel, and the housekeeping and service were excellent; they cleaned the room promptly and thoroughly every day. Across from the hotel, at the entrance to Namdaemun Market, there's a rather simple restaurant that serves delicious knife-cut noodles. It was full of locals, and a small bowl was more than enough for a woman.

Grand Hyatt Seoul: Classic Luxury with Breathtaking Views A classic luxury hotel offering spectacular city views and extensive facilities, but with some considerations regarding its location and age. 🏨 Location & Ambiance Situated atop Namsan Mountain, the hotel provides stunning panoramic views of Seoul. While offering a peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere, it’s on a hillside, which means walking to nearby areas like Itaewon involves slopes, and reaching downtown areas typically requires a short taxi or subway ride. 🛌 Rooms & Service Rooms are comfortable, often with impressive city or mountain views. However, guest reviews note that some rooms and bathrooms feel compact, and the decor (despite a 2019 renovation) can show its age compared to newer hotels. The staff are generally praised for being professional and helpful. 🌟 Amenities & Dining It features an extensive range of facilities, including multiple pools, a well-regarded spa, a fitness center, tennis courts, and even a seasonal ice rink. There are several dining options on-site, from a steakhouse to Japanese restaurants. A common critique is that the breakfast buffet, while good, can get crowded and may require waiting. ⚖️ Balanced Verdict Ideal for travelers seeking a full-resort experience with fantastic views and comprehensive facilities within Seoul. It is less ideal for those who prioritize walking directly into a bustling urban neighborhood or prefer ultra-modern room interiors. 希望这份基于真实情况的客观总结能帮助你。如果你对酒店的餐饮选择、水疗中心，或是前往首尔塔等景点的交通方式有更具体的问题，我可以提供更详细的信息。

I simply love this hotel!  Of course, it has aged over time ( like myself! ) so it is not as shiny as I remember it, but the location is great and the staff are all very nice.   The first 2 days, I was not able to encounter one staff member I remember from my previous visits, but when checking out today, he happened to be present!!! Exactly as I remember him, warm, friendly and wonderful hospitality.  He is the reason I will stay here whenever I visit Seoul.   Thank you for making my trip to Seoul wonderful every time!!!

I booked a twin room this time, and for someone like me who's used to a firm mattress, it was a bit too soft. The location is excellent, right by Jongno 3-ga Exit 14, which has an escalator, so it's less than a 2-minute walk. The room amenities include a TV (no YouTube or Netflix, but paid movies are available), air conditioning, a mini-fridge, a wardrobe, a bedside table, a safe, and a hairdryer. The room itself isn't huge, but the bathroom is a decent size, and there are plenty of outlets. The basement offers free self-service laundry facilities, complete with detergent, which is super convenient for travelers.

Location is good. Away from hustle bustle of the tourist spot. 3 bus stops away to myeongdong. Trains about 5-7mins walk. There’s bakeries nearby the hotel, across the road at the junction which we only noted on last night there.. up the street.  The room is kind of old. Broken wardrobe n toilet no seperator btwn wet n dry. Shower hose cant adjust the position, so if u let it hang n shower, water will flow outdoor. There’s a gap in the bathroom door. Had to hold the shower hose while showering. No area to put the shower gel or shampoo. Hv to keep going to the sink to pump it. Toilet rolls poor quality. There is no conditioner too. Ironing items to take from counter. Its a small one.. hv to use on the floor! I booked family room with namsan tower view but was given without namsan view! When i asked the counter man, he said we gave u a bigger room but that was not communicated during checked in. N i saw that all rooms are the same actually! He got angry when i said the room are old n broken. N iron board not available! He shouted ! So poor customer service! Cleaning not properly done. Hair in the bathroom n the plastic from toothbrush is still there for 3 days!! Its on top of toilet roll box! I should hv checked carefully before booking..

Requested a room on a high floor, had a great view. Was able to purchase breakfast at the hotel, it was nothing to write about. Rooms were basic and had basic cleaning. Good location to DDP.
