Top Hotels Near Banpo Hangang Park in Seoul from AU$86

"Great location "

"Staff was very friendly. "

"The only reason I removed a star from my otherwise five star review is because of my third check in experiences. FYI, during my 2 week stay in Korea and Japan, I used JW Marriott as my base camp and checked in three times. The first time was at 6am in the morning, the day after my original check in day. My reservation had been cancelled as a “no show” but that was easily rectified. (I was told to call the next time I would check in late. I actually tried to reach out but that didn’t work out well. But the check out worked out well so no issues there.) Second check in easy as a breeze. Now to the third check in. I think one lad was in training. The other gentleman clearly was supervising. Not the friendliest of sort. He kind of snapped at me to wait in line (which I did). When it was my turn, the guy in training was super sweet. He accidentally offered a late checkout. It would have been nice but I didn’t need one. The supervisor literally knocked on the trainee plainly in sight, clearly scolding him in front of the guests. Not pleasant. I told them I didn’t need the late check out if the trainee was getting into trouble. Long story short, no late check out and I hope the trainee didn’t get into trouble. Point here is that if the front desk members need to sort out things between and among themselves, please do that out of sight. "

"This is a basic place for 2 person, it has a double bed. Surprisingly it has a washing machine and a large refrigerator as tall as 1.5 meter. Has microwave. Private toilet and shower. For the price and location, it is a good find. Bus stop is just 3 minutes walk. Super friendly staff. Quiet"

"Yes"

"This hotel was super pet-friendly, which meant every elevator ride came with the delightful possibility of a surprise dog sighting. We weren’t traveling with pets ourselves, but honestly the occasional elevator pup cameo made our day every time. The location was perfect—walkable to tons of great spots, and if we needed to go farther, it was about a 15-minute taxi ride in pretty much any direction. The staff were consistently kind and welcoming, which always makes a stay feel extra special. And bonus points for the little coffee shop inside the hotel—it was so delicious and quickly became part of our daily routine."

"Awesome "

"Not much English for the staff. I was definitely on my own. Seoul is safe so I couldn’t go wrong."

"The hotel itself is average, maybe 2.5 to 3 stars. It is older and in need of renovation. The staff are helpful and do the best they can with what they have. The issue is the location and the noise. The description says it is in the Itaewon Station area. It is directly across the street from Itaewon Station, and surrounded by night clubs and bars. I arrived on a Thursday evening and the clubs were just starting. There is apparently a club on the second floor because when the elevator passes they floor, the noise of the music becomes deafening. I had a room on the back side at first, the room was tiny and loud. I upgraded to a larger room on the front side. The room was decent size, but the noise even worse. Music thumping, cars honking, police sirens, drunk people shouting, street musicians, etc. It finally quieted down about 6am. I did not sleep at all. And Friday night even worse. On top of that, there was no control of the heat (winter), which was set at about 30c, which meant having to open the window or swelter. The best the staff could do was a fan! I left at 4am Saturday morning. The front desk person processed a refund for my remaining stay, which was probably the best thing that I can say about this place. Unless you are in your 20s and want to party all night, AVOID THIS HOTEL. Try the Mondrian if you want to be in Itaewon. Quiet, much much nicer. "
