The room was very clean and tidy. Though small, it had everything you could need, even a fridge. The self-check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, making it perfect for introverts.

Absolutely loved the Mangrove Tree Resort! This time I booked a double room and it was spotless and tidy! Plus, having a kitchen and laundry room was super convenient. Food deliveries can come right to the lobby, and there's a coffee shop downstairs. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time.

I love the hotel’s corporate identity and wayfinding design. It is both stylish and practical. I also really enjoy the facilities they offer, from the kitchen and canteen to the hotel shop, rooftop, workspaces, library with curated books, and café. It creates a strong sense of community and creativity. The room itself is practical, although they don’t provide some small amenities like cotton buds and a shower cap. In the hallway, there is a water dispenser where you can refill your bottle, which is very convenient. One thing I noticed is that during my stay, there was no room cleaning at all. It became a bit annoying as the room got dirty and the trash was not taken out. If you are planning to stay here, I definitely recommend trying the hotel café. It is seriously good. The coffee, Greek yogurt, and snacks are all delicious.

Conveniently located at Exit 4 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, with an airport bus stop right across the street. I stayed in a bunk bed room, and there was space under the bed to store my luggage. The hot water pressure was great, perfect for a shower and washing hair. Check-in, check-out, taking out the trash, and luggage storage are all self-service, so be prepared to expend some energy on these tasks. There's a communal kitchen available, fully equipped with appliances and condiments, which was great for heating up a late-night snack. Overall, it's a good choice for hostel-goers and independent travelers.

Worth staying, it's a very convenient hostel. I stayed in a 6-person female dorm, and there were two repeat guests who had stayed at this hotel many times. Although it's a self-service hotel, if you have any issues, the front desk is quick to resolve them. You can also see Namsan Tower from the rooftop.

Location: The location is very convenient, with direct subway access to Gimpo Airport and KSPO. Namsan Tower is also right nearby. Hygiene: Overall, it was very good. The hotel interior was also clean. Usage: Every time I wanted to use the elevator, I had to scan a new QR code that popped up to get it to work. Since I used it frequently, I found it a bit cumbersome, but it definitely makes it much more secure. Facilities: I booked a bunk bed and I was on the top bunk. At first, climbing up hurt my feet, and then I realized the ladder was rusty and broken. However, since I was only there to sleep at night and was out all day, I didn't bother changing rooms. So, you might want to take some time to inspect it. The second picture might show it more clearly.

This hotel offers minimal service, with a fully self-service check-in. The room was small and a bit cramped, but thankfully it was clean and cozy. The rooftop view was fantastic and perfect for taking photos.
