3 star hotels in Seoul

There were some stains, but it was totally fine.

Good service + location is right next to the city hall metro station, tiny room though.

I chose this place primarily for its affordability. The room had no windows and felt a bit cramped. The lighting wasn't very bright either, which might be a little inconvenient for female guests. However, the location was great; it's just a few minutes' walk from City Hall Station and you can even walk to Myeongdong, so I was happy with that.

The location is great, and there are many restaurants nearby, which was a huge plus. I'd definitely like to stay here again next time.

The location is good as it's within walking distance from both Seoul Station and Myeongdong Street. However, the area around the hotel has many restaurants open late, and a lot of people smoke there at night, which might feel a bit unsafe if you're alone. The room itself is a little old, but it's great that the toilet and shower are completely separate. We had a small issue during check-in, but the...

The hotel has a great location, just a short walk from Myeongdong. The hotel is very clean and tidy with no unpleasant smells. The triple room I booked was quite spacious, and even my broken English allowed me to check in smoothly. The next day, I could even store my luggage while shopping!

Really great location, absolutely money's worth. Airport bus, public transportation 2-5 minutes away. Near a lot of tourist sites, 5 -20 minutes you have Insadong,Bukchon village, the old Joseon stream, City hall, Seoul history Museum, Kwanjang-, Dongdeamun- and Myeondong Market. Nice staff, modern building and interior, Rooftop terrace with a BBQ that we unfortunately didn't have time to use. Clean...

Terrible Service by Ashley I told Ashley to book us a taxi. She did, but the taxi driver refused to give us a lift. I told her to help us get another taxi and she refused, saying that the other taxi driver will drive away too and told us to take a cab or bus to Seoul station. I had to told her off sternly before she booked the taxi again. And when the taxi came, she refused to help us talk to the...

Cool industrial design mid range hotel in Seoul. Friendly staff who spoke perfect English. Rooms are nice and neat with heated floors. Location is good. About 7mins walk to the nearest subway and a 4 mins walk to a bus stop.

Very nice experience, the water heater broke while we were there and they had it fixed the next day. They felt bad and gave everyone a free coffee the next day.

Good hotel. Quiet. Rig by next to some classic sight seeing spots. Some real world heritage stuff. Good central location if you want to be in the classic part of Seoul.

recommended for budget travel in Seoul

Nice keeper and many food selection around hotel. Close to Lotte and shopping as well. Love that place and recommend to every traveller. 👍🏼

Using the Yanolja app for discounts and other benefits allows you to stay in a relatively affordable, reasonably-priced room. While the room appears clean, there's quite a bit of dust in places you can't reach, like behind the TV. I won't stay here again because between 6 and 8 a.m., a vacuum-like motor noise recurred outside the room in an irregular pattern, keeping me up the next morning. It may...

Newly renovated walker hill hotel was amazing. Great stay with excellent amenities, good shower pressure, and very clean. Friendly and courteous staff.

A good hotel. The rooms are small but cozy. It's conveniently located with a direct line to the airport. The only thing is that my room was next to the staff's service door. So, every morning their closet door was always open, and there were many bags of towels, linen, and other cleaning supplies piled up around my door. On checkout day, it was extremely inconvenient to maneuver my luggage through...

The hotel was conveniently located near the station, with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. My room was spacious enough for one person, with a large bed and a warm ondol (underfloor heating) system. The TV wasn't working (but I didn't need it anyway). The combined shower and toilet, and the fact that you couldn't flush toilet paper, were a bit inconvenient. There were also small bugs in the...

The hotel has underfloor heating, and the bed also has an electric blanket or something similar, making it very warm. The location is great too, very convenient for shopping. The front desk staff were very friendly and easy to communicate with.

The location is perfect, metro, convenience store nearby. The staff was nice.

Hahahaha, it was fantastic! The front desk staff were very polite and provided excellent service. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seoul!

The shower room was spacious and easy to use, but the heating was too strong, making it uncomfortably hot.

Excellent service! **Service:** The staff were really friendly and had a pleasant tone of voice. They even offered Chinese-speaking service, which was a nice touch. **Facilities:** Pretty good! Not as outdated as some reviews suggested. I couldn't quite figure out how to get the toilet seat heater to work, though. **Hygiene:** They cleaned regularly every day, and the towels and bedding were spotless...

The hotel's location is excellent, with the airport shuttle right at the doorstep, making it very convenient for travel to and from the airport and city center. The facilities are quite comprehensive, just as advertised, and the hygiene is also very good. The hotel staff are friendly.

Excellent! Right outside Dongdaemun Subway Station, and there's an airport shuttle bus stop right at the entrance. I've stayed here multiple times. They have a good variety of room types, including family rooms. While the hotel is a bit older, the facilities are quite comprehensive.

The interior looks rather dated but overall, it was a comfortable stay. Both beds were of a decent size. There was a bath tub but beware that there will be a penalty if you stain it eg with a bathbomb, which is expressly prohibited. The location is great, walk distance to station and namdaemun. Although there is a convenient store at lobby, it closed at midnight

The location is fantastic! The airport shuttle goes directly there, and there are plenty of dining options nearby.

Overall, it's pretty good. There's a convenience store downstairs, and it's quite close to the subway. Generally, it's very convenient, but do note that the bathroom and toilet are not separated (wet and dry areas).

Very good bangs for your bucks. Small hotel but fully equipped with insulated flooring - even to to bathroom!! Automatic toilet too!! Bathroom was much more cleaner than I expected and they offer daily room service. Location was a bit tricky since the nearest subway station was almost 5 mins away by walking but convenient enough. Very good cake cafe right downstairs.

This is my fourth trip to Seoul, and I've stayed at this hotel every time. Although taking Line 5 into the city involves quite a few stops, it's conveniently close to Gimpo Airport, and you can also take the KTX to Incheon from here. I highly recommend this hotel to solo female travelers with a good budget who prioritize personal safety. It's extremely clean, and the front desk staff are all very friendly

This hotel is really convenient, just three subway stops on Line 5 from Busan Airport. It's great for getting around to shows on Line 5, and there are plenty of food options when you come back at night. Plus, the 6003 airport bus to Incheon Airport only takes 50 minutes.

⭐️ Amazing Experience at First Stay Hotel in Seoul! ⭐️ I had a fantastic first time staying at First Stay Hotel in Seoul! This hotel is clean, comfortable, and very well-maintained, with all the amenities I needed for a pleasant stay. The location in Gangseo-gu is convenient, with easy access to public transport and close to local attractions — perfect for both sightseeing and quick trips to Gimpo...

The hotel's location is excellent, with several convenience stores, various shops, cafes, restaurants, and more nearby. I chose to stay here for two nights because it's very close to Gimpo Airport, which was incredibly convenient. It's an apartment-style hotel with a washing machine. Very satisfied.

Great location for travelers using the subway. It's an easy, ride from Incheon Airport and well-positioned for exploring the city. Key Tip: Use subway Exit 7 (has a lift) instead of the closer Exit 9 if you have heavy luggage. It's right across the street. The room was clean. Bed is comfortable, would appreciate if there are more pillows. Basic toiletries (toothbrush, comb, shaver) are not provided...

This is the second time that I stay in this hotel it’s always clean and it’s close to shopping areas and good restaurants

Satisfied. Will come again next time.

Service and check in was outstanding and easy. Facilities very clean but had a small issue of the shower leaking into the room foyer. Notified staff upon check out and they were very attentive. Overall a 4.5 stay.

If you want a place close to Itaewon and the night life this hotel is perfect. 5 minutes by walk from the first club, beautiful entrance. Just one thing to know, if you come with a friend, the barthroom is with glasses and not wall just separated from the room by a curtain, so if you want more intimacy this is maybe not the perfect place for you. But the room was really good, pretty and good quality...

Very dark hallways and room lights. Not suitable for business people. Good location to enjoy Itaewan bars and restaurant venue.

Nice hotel, rooms clean with all basic amenities. Reception staff speak English and are helpful. Many restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance. Itaewon metro station also within walking distance.

It was very clean and nice desig

Overall, I'm satisfied with the hotel. The location is great, and I appreciated the free parking even though it's in Seocho-dong. Just a heads-up, check-in time is at 3 PM, so you might have to wait a bit. I paid an extra 10,000 KRW for early check-in, which I thought was a bit much, but I don't regret it since I was happy with the facilities and cleanliness.

Cool design and prompt service from staff

It was a cold day, but the room was wonderfully warm and cozy!

I stayed for two nights (Saturday & Sunday) at the Triple Cinema Penthouse. It was a spacious place, spanning almost three floors, and the outdoor spa on the rooftop was absolutely perfect for a weekend of relaxation. Having a sauna was a great bonus too!

Quite a nice place. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, and it's quiet and comfortable.

The room was much bigger than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel also offers an airport shuttle service; you can ask the front desk to arrange it for you.

The location is good, near the subway station. The room is okay; it's huge enough for us. The staff is kind.

Comfortable stay at this hotel, Decent sized room with a good sized bath and shower. Plenty of places to eat around area as well.

The location is near to restaurants and convenience stores.

Location: Convenient Access to Public Transport: It's located near Yeongdeungpo Station, which gives you easy access to the subway and bus services. This makes it fairly easy to get around Seoul, whether you’re heading to tourist spots, shopping districts, or business areas. Quiet Area: While not in the bustling heart of Seoul, the surrounding neighborhood tends to be more peaceful, making it good...

This hotel is fantastic. It really felt luxurious to me, despite the price! It was clean, spacious, easy to find and the staff were friendly. It’s located super close to a couple of metro stations and a mainline train station. Just on the other side of the road are multiple convenience stores too! I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Seoul

We arrived just in time for Christmas, and the floor was decorated for the holiday. The front desk staff provided excellent service. It was raining when we visited, and the hotel even had umbrellas available at the front desk. The room itself was clean and tidy. The bathroom was a bit small, but the hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. It's only a two-minute walk downstairs to the Lotte Duty Free...

Great location. Room is relatively small. Self checkin and checkout is convenient.

Excellent location. City and shopping centre. One single big bed room is triangular in shape that even cannot open travel case !!!! Western breakfast is terrible. Coffee no milk. Food and service is not good.

The room was quite clean, though there was a slight lingering smell of local cuisine due to the high occupancy, which is understandable given different eating habits. The location is excellent, and the hotel offers fantastic value for money on Mondays and Saturdays (prices in the city center often increase on Saturdays). For newcomers arriving late and feeling a bit lost, it's worth familiarizing yourself...

Great location, 15 minutes walk away from Myeongdong. 2 minute walk from nearest subway (Hoehyeon) Functional room, has basic amenities needed for stay. Ports only available at TV area.

Clean and friendly receptionist. Thank you

i stayed few times here. everything is good hotel. especially when you want to shopping in meyongdong.

Room clean, staff helpful 👍🏻👍🏻

This is the 5th time I've taken a break. Why am I staying here? There are 7-11, Daiso and many restaurants near the hotel. And it's not far from the subway. The important thing is the good service from a male staff of the hotel. He talked to me well when I asked about parking (even though there is no parking space now). The 2nd time until the latest, he still serves and greets with friendliness...

It's a bit of a walk from the subway station; just cross the intersection and keep walking straight.

I stayed for 4 nights, the room was smaller than regular hotel rooms in the USA but it worked out well since i didn’t bring much. Everything was very clean, room included a big tv and a computer. Although i didn’t use it, there was also a laundry room that guest could use. The staff was kind and helpful, they also spoke english. Lastly, the best part of the hotel is that in the lobby there was a 2...

Very basic room with almost zero bathing amenities. Need to bring your own. "Window" is a tiny opening facing the walls of the next building.

Dated! 😥 There was mold in the corner of the room's curtains and a clump of hair on the floor! The lobby on the first floor was cluttered and unappealing 👎! I booked this hotel because friends live nearby, but I won't be staying here again next time.

The hotel is about an 8-minute walk from the subway station. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and there's a toothbrush provided. It has a smart TV where you can watch YouTube and Netflix, and the facilities are quite new. The pillow was very thin. You can't flush toilet paper down the toilet. It's on a main road with a Daiso and Olive Young nearby.

It's about a 10-minute walk from the subway station. There's a bus stop near the hotel, so it wasn't too inconvenient to take the bus to the subway station. The room was very clean and luxurious. They cleaned it every day if you asked the front desk, which was great.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I checked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and well taken care of. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully organized, with a comfortable bed that allowed me to rest perfectly after a long day of exploring. The location is excellent—easy to get around and close to great restaurants, convenience stores, and popular attractions. The hotel...

The room was quite clean and odorless, but the air conditioning was completely useless. It barely produced any air, whether it was cold or hot. It was very stuffy when I checked in in the afternoon, and I woke up cold in the middle of the night. Plus, the hairdryer was a battle-damaged model, taped together, so I had to hold the plug with one hand to get any air out. Overall, the hotel was reasonably...

It was far from the station but it was beautiful.

Location was convenient, only stairs but staff will help with luggage if you ask

Friendly Hostel Goodl breakfast Good Locatoion

Good service, patient, breakfast provided.

The location of the hostel is very close to the subway, near Jongno 5(o)-ga station. Room is on the smaller side but for the price I think it’s quite reasonable. No lift in the building but water dispenser at every level. Towels, toilet paper and other amenities are readily available without staff around. Airport bus, CU, pharmacy and many restaurants nearby

The room itself was great, and it's quite close to the subway. The only downside is that it's a bit hard to find, but for the price, it's really good value. I'd definitely recommend it for a non-business trip, and the self-service options were very convenient.

Very good location and room rate very reasonable, this is my 3rd time to stay here.

Amazing stay at Tria Hotel. Ample of space for two friends staying here for a couple of nights. The bathroom was spacious and clean, and loved that there were several mirrors here (as two girlies would need) including a full length one. Location is okay, with a lot of restaurants and a convenience store just across the street. Only minor comment would be - we asked to clean the room once during...

The room was clean and overall, it was a decent stay. However, the amenities were very limited. Only coffee sticks and water were provided, and some people don't drink coffee (I don't either). There were no tea or snacks like biscuits, leaving very limited options. Furthermore, there were no irons or hairdryers available at the front desk for use. Even for a short stay, these basic amenities would...

A lovely place. Clean and well located. I would highly recommend it.

Comfortable bed... friendly service and facilities... cleaning was also perfect. I will visit again on my next trip... it is even better because it is close to the subway station.

It's amazing that you can stay in this kind of facility in this location for this price... It was great.

Very clean, renovated, comfortable room, the old man there had a lot to say. There are two convenience stores downstairs, and a food street behind, with Udali soy sauce crab just a 5-minute walk away.

clean room, very nice owners and very good breakfast

A wonderful guesthouse situated right in the middle of Bukchon. The owners were very friendly and did their best communicating to us in English all the things we needed to know. The room and area as a whole was so incredibly peaceful and quiet, a nice respite from the rest of Seoul. The breakfast was nice, and eating with the other houseguests and chatting about their holidays was a pleasant way to...

The Hanok owner is very nice and introduced the house very attentively👍

Very good location! The only drawback is that the bathroom is not next to the room, which is quite cold at night in winter. Breakfast is also OK, and the main location is very good! recommend

The property manager is very responsive to my needs.

It's okay, free Korean clothes are prepared, and the breakfast is simple and cold. I feel like there is a bit of dusty air when I sleep.

Room is clean, staffs are friendly and supportive. Hostel is near subway and Ikseondong. Will stay here again if I’m back to Seoul.

I had some work to do at the hotel, so I requested a quiet room. The manager didn't take my request lightly and sent me an email. Upon arriving at the hotel that day and checking in, the manager upgraded my room for free to a quiet room. Thanks to this, I was able to work quietly and get a good night's sleep. It was cold, so I turned on the individual heating, and I slept warmly. The boiler in the...

I stayed here with my friend in a two bed private bathroom and it was great! The air worked well, the room was clean and beds comfortable. It even had a mini fridge. The workers were amazing and friendly. Number 1 is the location! So many yummy places near and convenient metro.

The boss is very nice, the room is clean and quiet, most of the rooms are self-service. It is very convenient to eat nearby, close to the subway and convenience store.

Great place to stay for a week. Lots of great little places and street stalls nearby to eat authentic Korean foods. Hostel Tommy is basically a couple of blocks away from the Jongmyo Shrine and Changdeokgung Palace, a 15-minute walk away from Gwangjang Market, and a leisurely half-hour stroll to Insadong Market and Gyeongbokgung Palace. That’s also where you can see various museums and also walk a...
