First. Expedia realy needs to identify Love Hotels as opposed to tourist hotels. Second the only "View" at Hotel View was of a Construction site where they started work at 630AM on a Saturday. The room was basically clean, but was dingey and looked like it was last updated by a pimp in 1979. If you are looking for a nice place to bring that special someone who's name you never asked then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a decent place to stay look elsewhere

Room was very dirty & grimy - stained walls, hairs in the bathroom, torn upholstery, etc Extremely noisy as there's construction in front and behind the hotel. Construction is from 730am - 6pm Having paid for 3 nights, I contacted Expedia to see if this could be reduced to just one night & get 2 nights refund. Eventually they managed to contact the hotel.....request denied. Unbelievable they run a hotel like this, it really was awful. Also, no housekeeping. 3 nights, no towels were changed, no trash cans emptied. How do you run a hotel like this???? Stay away. The photo's make it look barely passable. The reality is so much worse.

I thought the property was beautiful and well maintained. It's also near Lotte World, as well as many restaurants. Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of smoke. The hot water for drinking was also broken, but they did provide an electric kettle and bottled water. I would probably stay here again.

Hotel close to subway station
I had a nice stay at this hotel. I went to the counter, they gave me my key and a bag of toiletries. It was a nice room. Quite spacious and clean. Once I check out, you only have to put back your key on the little table in the elevator. That's it! I would stay there again if I had something to attend in Jamsil area only since it's quite far from touristic spots in Seoul !

Great location hotel in Jamsil area
We can access many great restaurants and coffee places, and the hotel is very close to Lotte Mall and Seokchon lake which are so beautiful places. We really like the hotel staffs. They are all nice, and they prepare many kinds of great drinks and ice cream in the lobby. I was surprised that they have valet services.

Interesting
I believe this was a motel for couples if you know what I mean. I got a non-smoking room, but it seems like the entire floor is smoking so you can smell the cigarettes everywhere which I didn't appreciate. Toilet and showers are separated but have semi-clear glass doors so I wouldn't recommend it for families with mixed gender. Not a ton of privacy. However, room was clean, staff was amazing and super accommodating even though they had limited English. Free ice cream and drinks in the lobby everyday! Freaking amazing. Electric heater blanket for the cold season was heaven! Loved it. Room size was good as well. Decent and easy to find location next to Olympic park & mongchontoseong or jamsil station near Lotte World.

Value for Money Stay
Staffs are helpful, accommodating and smiling. They find their ways to meet the needs or concerns of the tourists. They accompanied us to a bank for currency exchange. Also, we receive two umbrellas as gift because it was raining during that time. Unlimited drinks are for free.This is really value worth staying for a cheap price. Overall, they made our stay wonderful!

Good hotel for a reasonable price.
It's a good hotel for friends or couple, not for family since I think it's also used as a motel. The building needs a little maintenance but it's acceptable, clean, friendly staff. The bathroom has a glass door that you can't lock, so if you go with a couple or some other friends could be weird.

普通のホテルだと思い予約しましたが、ホテル街の一角にありモーテルと変わらない印象でした。浴室には、シャワーの他に浴槽もありましたが、あまりに設備が古く清潔感がないためお湯はりをする気にならずシャワーだけ使いました。携帯を充電が出来るように3本ケーブルが出ていましたが、日本とは、電圧が違うのでそのまま使って良いものかどうか判断できず、 変換プラグで充電するために、 コンセントを探しましたが、見える場所には一箇所もなく、ソファーを動かし、やっと電話のコンセントを見つけて携帯やwifiを充電できました。冷蔵庫の中にあるミネラルウォーターは、1本は凍っていました。いつから入っているんだろう？と思いフロントで交換して貰いました。土曜日の宿泊だからなのか、一泊泊の宿泊料金が翌日宿泊したロッテシティホテル金浦とほぼ同じ金額でした。オリンピック公園には近くて便利でしたが次に宿泊する事は先ずないと思います。

게시글 날짜룰보니 내부공사 후 얼마되지 않은 시점에서 방문 하셨던 것 같습니다. 이용 중 불편하셨던 점에 대하여 사과드리며 이에 그치지 않고 해외사이드 이용 고객님들의 특정 사항들에 대하여 심도있는 개선에 힘쓰겠습니다. 참고로 해외 이용고객님들은 주로 연박이 많아서 개인소지품 문제로 인하여 청소요청이 있을시에만 청소를하며 변환기는 프론트에 구비되어 있습니다. 기타 객실이용에 관한것은 프론트에서 전화통역이나 번역기등을 통하여 충분히 의사소통이 가능합니다. 귀한 여행일정에 여러가지 부응하지 못했던 점 다시한번 사과드립니다.

가지마세요. 최악입니다.
정말 최악의 숙소였습니다. 문 열고 들어가면 담배 찌든 냄새가 코를 찌르고 창문을 닫고 잘 수가 없을 정도였습니다. 나중에는 가져간 옷, 물품에 까지도 냄새가 배였습니다. 숙소 바로 앞은 오피스텔 공사로 아침 8시부터 공사를 해서 소음으로 조금 늦게까지 잠을 잘수가 없습니다. 방 상태는 깨끗한 느낌은 없고 혹시나 해서 수건 하나 적셔서 가구랑 바닥을 닦았더니 수건이 시커멓게 변할 정도로 청소 상태가 엉망이었습니다. 전체적으로 돈 받고도 숙박하기 싫은 숙소였습니다.

夢村土城駅と漢城百済駅に近いのと、空港リムジンバスのバス停も近いのでアクセスには良いと思います。 今回はオリンピック公園内施設のイベントのために利用したのですが、漢城百済駅はオリンピック公園駅の一駅隣なので公演が遅い時間までやっていても大丈夫です。 部屋は窓が基本的に開けられる感じではないのであまり日当たりは良くはないかなと思います。 普通に宿泊する分には充分だと思います。

Surely will visit again
Pros: Very convenience location, can walk to Olympic Park for concerts or events, or go to Jamsil for Shopping easily. 5 to 10 mins walk to Songpa area for lots of restaurants to choose from. The staffs are very nice and helpful and able to communicate with English. Free water and ice cream at entrance, great for summer. Big room, big TV, big bathroom with bathtub and shower room. Pretty quiet at night which is good for sleeping. Cons: The room is not very clean. There was something sticky on the remote control and floor. Found hair at towel (not mine). A little smoking smell in room too. Just one more thing to add, this is also a love hotel. You may want to take it into consideration if you are a girl and traveling alone. Since I am a guy and it doesn't matter to me.

オリンピック公園内でのLIVEのための立地重視の宿泊で、地下鉄も2路線(9号線：漢城百済駅/8号線：夢村土城駅)利用可で駅近。その点は便利で満足しました。暗くなってから到着したので分かりづらかったですが、隣接する平和児童公園が目印でした。5泊したうち2泊(2階)はエアコンが調子悪く部屋が寒かったので見に来て貰うと故障しており、電気毛布で凌げと言われたので『ルームチェンジ』を要求し6階へ移動。そこはエアコンは効きましたが、2階部屋みたいにバブルバスや便座ヒーター・温水洗浄便座は故障していたので、痛し痒し。タオル交換や清掃など言わないとやってくれませんでした。

オリンピック公園でのコンサートがある時に利用しています。会場とは反対の方向にあるので公園内をけっこう歩きますが運動になって良いです。場所は初めて行くと少し分かりにくいかも。フロントの人達は日本語は話せないみたいだけど感じが良いです。元々？今も？ラブホテルなのでお風呂も部屋もベッドも広くて設備がカナリ良いです。古い建物なので凄く綺麗なワケではないけれど私は全然問題ないです。立地やラブホテルなのを気にしない人なら便利でリーズナブルで良いホテルだと思います。
