Youngbin Hotel in Seoul

Spacious and comfortable. Location is outstanding, walking distance to Apm plaza and DDP. convenient to look for food and shopping.

A very good option for staying for a week. Spacious rooms, an elevator, good in-room amenities, and pleasant staff. First of all, the area is excellent. It’s a lively, authentic Seoul, and just outside the neighborhood you’ll find postcard-worthy spots and major tourist attractions. Staying here allows you to experience the rhythm of daily life alongside local Seoul residents and really feel the city from the inside. Plus there's also many convenient metro stations nearby. As for the hotel itself, there are both positives and negatives. Starting with the downsides: maybe I was just unlucky, but the shower head was in very poor condition and barely worked. Hopefully, this will be fixed. There’s also no option to open the window for some reason — it has a strange four-layer window system, which is… okay. The tap water is quite hard, but as far as I understand, that’s common across most of Seoul. The room keys don’t look very secure, and the key fob is huge — about the size and weight of a solid, heavy iPhone. It’s easier to leave the key at reception when you go out and pick it up again when you return. Another downside is the poor sound insulation from the corridor. When the Korean and Russian cleaning staff start chatting in the morning, it works better than any alarm clock. In some places, you can see signs of the hotel’s “age” and wear over time, but it’s not too serious. On the plus side, in addition to the usual amenities like toothbrushes and basic hygiene kits, each room has large bottles of body lotion, cream, and something else I didn’t even have time to figure out. That’s a definite bonus. Next, despite the inability to open the window, the rooms aren’t stuffy at all — on the contrary, they’re comfortably warm. There’s also heated flooring. All the staff are pleasant, friendly Koreans who are always willing to help if needed. A solid 4 out of 5.

The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean with a big window looking over Dongdemun park. The beds are comfortable and we had good sleep at night. We like the heated Japanese toilet seat which is a plus during the cold weather. The hotel provided shampoo and body wash and lotion. There's a airport bus stop 6001 opposite the street and a Michelin cold noodle restaurant nearby. We took the free sauna and bath at the hotel basement with the locals, it was a nice experience. Finally, the staff are friendly and polite.

The soundproofing wasn't great, and the mattress was squeaky. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied, and the room was very spacious.

Gooda comfortable, nice staff

Love the location of Youngbin Hotel. It was near DDP station and Dongguk University station.

Room was huge, amenities were sufficient. Will definitely be back!

We did came a bit earlier, so we had to paid for a room for one day , next day we supposed to move to our room , but they say we can stay in that which we get , room was big , clean , with 2 beds , all amenities, we get 2 bottles of water every day , cleaning was everyday .. just one thing I didn't like and I didn't understand, there was a window , but cannot be open ..all the rest was perfect location was good too .

This excellent hotel was my second stay. They have a sauna downstairs, and the body scrub service is fantastic – definitely a must-try. While the men's scrub was a bit perfunctory, the female body scrubbers were exceptionally good. I'd love to visit again. The front desk staff on the first floor were also excellent.

The hotel provides excellent service, including daily housekeeping. I was even able to borrow two power adapters from them. Its location is incredibly convenient, with many restaurants nearby and easy access to the subway station. It's definitely a suitable hotel for any tourist.
