Hotels near Democracy and Human Rights Memorial Hall in Seoul

Overall , accommodating staffs and affordable price for 2 rooms! FYI, tooth brush and tooth paste are not included. You’ll have to pay 1000W at the lobby/front desk Or you can bring your own Or buy from CU store located on 2nd floor. IPark Mall is directly connected between Yongsan Station & the hotel itself. There are a lot of cafes at the station itself too. Btw, the Wowpass Machine can be found INSIDE the CU store! Highly suggest to register there instead of the crowded locations such as at the airport or seoul station to save time. Hope that helps and thanks ibis yongsan!

I stayed the New World Hotel, Hangang daero 84 gil, Namyeong dong, Yongsan gu, Seoul, South Korea, August 26 to 31. This was easily the most expensive place on my trip (and I was in Tokyo for a week). And the New World Hotel was the worst place of my trip. The location is central ish, but dirty and gross, with shops selling junk and scrap metal. This should not be a 3-star hotel. The first problem was that the listing was cheap, but had a shared bathroom, so compared to other listings (which had their own baths), it looked good. By the time you got your own bathroom, the price was a lot higher. This is a classic bait-and-switch sales routine. The listing also promised a free shuttle to the Inchon airport, so I thought that despite the room price, at least I get a ride to the airport. When I asked the staff, that was a ”misunderstanding”. Instead of offering to take me the 30km to the airport or pay for the shuttle, or pay me the 80K Won amount of the shuttle, they offered to take me to Seoul station, 1.5km, and said a taxi would cost 85K Won, so they were compensating me well. That is the biggest lie I ever heard. I can provide information from *********** that shows the hotel changed its listing page to a paid shuttle after I asked at the front desk about the free shuttle. The room was gross. The bathroom had mold in it. Regular soap was shared in the shower. The shower drain was rusty. The water temperature varied while you were showering. There was no shower curtain, so all the water went on the ground. There were screws sticking out of the doorknob and toilet flusher (I have pictures). There's holes in the tile, huge scrapes on the floor, lack of electric switch covers, smudges on walls and other cosmetic things easy to fix, if anyone cared. The sink was cracked and fixed with duct tape!!! Just things I haven't seen since a refugee camp I had the misfortune to be in while in my youth. The water temperature went up and down significantly during a showering without my touching the knobs. From the 6th floor, anyone taking the stairs down to the 5th floor is in danger of falling down the steps, because one step is significantly higher than the other steps. I wouldn't want to get paid to stay here. I talked to the only English speaker, and presumably the manager, who was somewhat apologetic, but wouldn't address the problems, nor lower the price. When I paid the high price, I assumed a decent room, and the free shuttle and there the hotel failed.

This is my second time staying at Novotel Yongsan. Arrived early for check in at about 11am and was told that I can only try to check in at about 1-2pm. Went for a walk at the nearby mall and came back to the hotel to check in at 2pm. Was told that the rooms were not ready so we headed out for a walk again. I went back to the hotel 3.10am and has to wait for about 20mins to check in due to the long queue. Was quite disappointed that the hotel couldn’t offer an early check in and the check in took longer than expected. Love it that it’s connected to the train station and hotel has all the necessary amenities.

The cleaning staff had to be asked to come in. The hosts are nice, there were no problems. Except for one. Constantly behind the wall ************************** I had to turn on the TV loudly so that my daughter wouldn’t hear it. The TV didn't help... I went down to the reception several times, but only once found the staff. They apologized, but nothing changed, and my daughter and I listened to the ***** girls for several more hours. I don't recommend staying here with children.

Convenient location and clean room. The hotel has history, but the bed is not old but comfy. Loved the wooden floor and I guess there is a heating system underneath the floor. It says it’s a 4-star hotel but refreshment choices were limited (only tea drip coffee bags). Room-service is not available, but that didn’t affect our mood of stay. It’s environmentally friendly that snacks and individual shampoo sets are not provided. Would definitely come again!

Great hotel located in a quieter part of the city with the metro very close by. The suite had everything you need for a comfortable stay including a beautiful view!

Mesmerizing experience!! I loved this place so much! I stayed here for 1 week on the 15th floor with city view. View was great, room was good and spacious enough for two. Everyday we would come back to a clean room and fresh towels. I loved it so much. Id definitely come back here. In fact I already miss this place!! Loved it 🙌❤️ Their buffet breakfast was ok - when my sister and I went for it their fried rice was spoiled. Otherwise i enjoyed their cereals, juice, and toast.

Excellent location, subway station outside the hotel and the exit nearest to it has an elevator. One station away from seoul station which is also walkable. Room is fairly sized but do take note that there is a jacuzzi inside the room and the toilet doors and walls are frosted. People inside the room can see you while you shower. Bidet is provided on the toilet seat and it’s heated. Staff are friendly and helpful. Water bottles provided daily. The room we got has a pretty nice city view with partially obscured view of the namsan tower. You can enjoy the sunrise and sunset from the room.

Hotel located near 공덕역 just walk from subway for ~ 500 m And nearby there is airport bus stop too !!! Very good location 👍 Also the room is clean, full of amenities and kindness staff If you want a good price hotel near subway I recommend this one

We enjoyed our stay here. Some pros: conveniently located near several subway stations and lines. Service was quite good with clean rooms, cleaned everyday. The self-check in and self-checkout was really great. There was a nice view from our room, overlooking Namsan and Seoul Tower. Cons: had some issues getting the electric outlets to allow electricity to flow and the water pressure from the shower was very light, making it hard to take a shower in a timely manner. Overall, not bad but there are better options around Dongdaemun for a similar price.
