9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1987)
"Family friendly, central location I booked for 3 ppl and there’s enough room for all our luggages. I like the hallway in the room coz it gave us more space. The shower door seems not to stop the water from overflowing to the main bathroom so we used a towel to prevent from flooding. They have laundry which was helpful coz we stayed here towards the end of our trip. There’s a gym and pool but we didn’t use these facilities. The restaurant is not open on weekends. And weekdays it’s only open...

"The staff here at the Hamilton is fantastic. They arranged taxis for us and, even tho’ we had already checked out, they allowed us to keep our suitcases there for two days while we traveled to Busan.The location is excellent. The Itaewon subway station is right in front of the hotel. The only negative about this hotel is the loud club music right next door. It lasted all night and my wife had trouble sleeping. If you are young and like to stay out late, this is a perfect spot."
