Hotels Near Lotte Department Store Yeongdeungpo in Seoul

This was my first time visited Korea, and I stayed in this hotel on 31 may-5 june 2023. I was got confused on the first time I arrived because I can't find the reception and it was no staff standby to assist and directing. Apparently, the lobby area is on the 4th floor (press L in the lift). The first floor is only the bakery shop and concierge (but nobody was there when I arrived). And no any signage either. The lobby area is modern and has a good interior. All of the staffs are all well mannered, friendly and helpful, some even speak good English. The room size is not too big, but still fair. I like the bathroom with shower head. it was clean and the lighting of the room is good. But unfortunately, the main reason I chose this hotel in this area was because I want to have a room with Han River view. It was named 'Standard Han River View Double Room', so I had a huge expectation it would really provided a good view of Han River. In fact, the building was not directly face to Han River (a little bit cross 45 degree) and was blocked with other higher surrounding buildings. and most disappointing, it doesn't have a full wide window, the window was separated by a thick wall in the middle. (I forget to took a proper photo, so I screenshot from my video to my boyfriend). I asked the staff whether we could have a room with full wide window and he said that all rooms' window configuration are all same. so i feel my hussle was really in vain to intentionally move to another hotel since my previous hotel located much more strategically to my itinerary (and actually has a bigger room size and cheaper -- i consider this is more expensive because of the brand and the location). The hotel location itself is actually very convenience because it has a direct bus stop in front of, and Yongsan station is literally across the hotel. Another good point, it also has 24 hour of coin laundry in the building (cost 3,000 won for laundry and 3,000 won for dryer). u can directly buy the detergen+softener for 1,000 won in the vending machine in the laundry room. Overall besides the Han River disappointing expectation, i can say that my stay experience here was lovely. The cleanliness of room, helpful and fluent English staffs were all great.

Overall it was a decent stay at the GM JS boutique especially for the price. Service and amenities were standard - staff were polite & hotel room had the basic amenities you need…there’s extra charge of 1000 KRW if you use the toiletries though, ie shampoo, toothbrush, etc… One thing we noticed when we entered though was the smoke smell, perhaps it had something to do with ventilation or pipes.. it was gone the day after. It was also quite dusty so our all allergies were definitely triggered for the first few days… it would be great if the room could be cleaner as well, there were some blotches on the wall/cabinet. In terms of location, it’s near a lot of restaurants, convenience stores, bus & subway station, which was good. If you’re planning on going around tourist areas, ie Hongdae, Myeongdong, Gangnam, area, the location is quite far though. When we tried to take taxis back to our accommodation, some refused as they say they don’t plan to go that far… Size of the room was quite good, spacious enough for 2 people and open up your luggage. There’s a study table with chair and a small coffee table with chair. Bed was quite comfortable. Bathroom was also spacious with a smart toilet (seat is also heated) & bidet. Would recommend this hotel for a budget friendly one & good for the price!

We stayed here as a group of six girls! There aren't many hotels that can accommodate six people, so it was very helpful. The room was two bedrooms. 1. Double bed with closet and hangers. 2. Two double beds with closet and shelf for luggage. The closet in room 2 had no place to hang hangers, so it was a little inconvenient. When you opened the door to the entrance, there was no place to put everyone's shoes, so we laid plastic nearby and put our shoes there. There were two refrigerators. We all bought a lot of yogurt and other things, but we were able to fit them in with no problem. However, the refrigerator was in the door next to the table and chairs, so you need to move the chair when opening and closing it. In room 1, we could keep our medium-sized carry-on bags open, but in room 2, we could only fit 2-3 medium and large-sized bags. The front desk staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were very helpful! It was about a 5-minute walk from City Hall Station. It was about a 15-minute walk to Myeongdong. There were Seven-Eleven, Starbucks, Oryang, and a wowpass machine in a nearby hotel, so Rich was very good.

I have decided to stay here again because of the hotel location near subway and airport bus . there are clean rooms . But this time, The one was made me not impressed is the air conditioner doesn’t OK! I had read the reviews from travelers which it to be true !The air conditioner in the room is not cool at all. We've tried turning down the temperature, but it's still so hot, we can't breathe, we can't sleep. We have to sleep with the window open every night to let the cold wind outside blow the air in instead. The mattress is too hard and not firm.

Location is fantastic! Just less than 100m walking distance to the famous Myeongdong shopping street and lots of restaurants around. Service was very professional and staff speaks fluent English. They even helped us do our laundry and arrange for a big van to send us to the airport since there are 6 of us. Only unfortunate part is the spa was a waste of space especially for big families and instead of a spa should have more toilets for a room that accommodates 6 person instead of just 1 toilet! Anyway, will still highly recommend this hotel to everyone!!!

Location: First of all, it was located in front of the bar of Chungmuro Station, so the accessibility was very good! As soon as I got off the station, it was easy to find because it was right there, and it was easy to move to the subway. In addition, there are many food nearby, so I ordered it to be delivered in the evening. At night, I went out with my friends and played in my favorite bar. 🍻 Room interior, cleanliness: First of all, the room stayed in a room for three people, but it was wider than I thought, so three people went to sleep. It was enough, very neat and clean. There was also a table, so it was easy to eat, and it was okay to bring a laptop and see the work! The bathroom is clean and Netflix is available (you need to use your own ID). There is a washing machine, induction, and sink, so you can cook and wash! (I haven't used it, but,) it was just new and tidy because the bathroom was just built. Is it a little unusual that the sink is on the outside? It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't as noisy as Hongdae or Sinchon. It was nice to be quiet at night, not like a noisy downtown area, but because of its good accessibility and location, it was convenient to use public transportation and places to eat or cafes around. It was nice to have a lot! I stayed with my friends, but I think it would be suitable if you are looking for a place to stay for long-distance business trips or business purposes.. !

Friendly and helpful staff. Near chungmuro station and 1 stop away from Myeongdong. Easy access pantry and unlimited drinking water. Shower curtain should be added, top cabinet above where cooking used to be done should be remove as it is dangerous. Overall good 👍

Fuss-free check in with friendly service. The hotel room and adjoint toilet were clean and comfortable. The hotel does not provide many services but it was good enough for solo travellers who spend most time outside exploring. Would recommend!

Location is not tourist friendly as this area seems to like local business place but you got-to enjoy local eateries (remember to download google translate). To my surprise there is a lot of gyms surrounding which includes Crossfit gym just 5 mins walk from this hotel.

a bit old and worn, which gives the impression of uncleanliness don't have hangers for putting towels in the toilets train frequency of the metro station is quite low (30mins a train) and far from Seoul city centre, compromise for $ many restaurants and a big supermarket nearby (residential area) 頗舊，給人不太乾净的感覺 厠所沒有棍放毛巾 附近係住宅區，有好多食肆以及一個大型超市 有點遠離市區，地鐵站班次疏，所以比市區酒店平
