"This is a nice, affordable hotel with awesome staff. Rooms are basic as are many hotels in Korea, and are clean and comfortable (one double bed and one single bed in most rooms). The staff is excellent. We stayed here because a family member works close by. Some neighborhood restaurants are within walking distance as well as a few “quick marts”. Unification park with some hiking trails and a rebuilt 1.000 year old palace is nearby."

Mayfield Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"It's inconvenient that there is no bathtub door"

Inter City Seoul

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and compact. It had storage right at the front door for shoes, which I used. The bathroom was next to that and spacious enough for 1 person. A curtain and glass panel separated the toilet from the shower so the whole place didn't get wet when you showered. A full sized bottle of shower gel, shampoo and body was were available. A bag of soap was left by the sink. Other items were available in the vending machine in the lobby. Two beds were there with working AC from above. That was very helpful for the heat wave I experienced in early August. A coat rack, small table with 2 fairs and TV stand (with stool that i didn't use) round or the main living space. There was a microwave, fridge, and additional storage for 2 large suitcases. The kitchenette had 2 cups and a hot plate which I would have loved to use, but there was no cookware, utensils, nor table settings. There was also no dish washing liquid or cloth. I also didn't use the washing machine as I didn't want to buy a laundry detergent. When I spent days at the hotel, it was very quiet. The location of the hotel was very close to the subway with ready access to the airport and and other lines. There are also tons of places to eat and shop within walking distance."
