Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo

The room is well-equipped with a refrigerator and a safe. The hotel staff are warm and attentive. Check-in is on the third floor, and they offer delicious freshly ground coffee. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so you don't have to worry about food and drinks.

The room was very clean, and the bathroom was spacious with a Japanese-style design. The hotel is conveniently located near Mapo and Gongdeok subway stations, about a 5-minute walk away. Across the street, there's a bus stop for Incheon Airport buses (6015, 6071), making it very easy to get to and from the airport. A taxi to Gimpo International Airport costs approximately 21,000 KRW. Downstairs, there's a Starbucks, a 7-Eleven, and a bakery, and across the street, you'll find McDonald's, Korean fried chicken, BBQ, Chinese restaurants, and even an Olive Young. It's incredibly convenient for dining, accommodation, and transportation. Excellent value for money!

This is an excellent Japanese-style hotel. We checked in on the 9th and stayed for 2 nights. The front desk kindly upgraded my daughter and me to a deluxe twin room on the 22nd floor (room 2217) free of charge. The room was spacious, especially the two king-size beds. The bathroom and shower were separate, and there was even a vanity area within the bathroom, which was incredibly thoughtful. I'll definitely be staying here again.

The room wasn't too small, but the bathtub took up some space next to the bed, so we could only just manage to open two 26-inch suitcases. The room was very clean and tidy. They also have a self-service laundry room and a microwave, which was very convenient. The hotel is close to the bus stop and the airport shuttle. The only downside is that it's located between two subway stations, so you have to walk about ten minutes with your luggage.

The hotel is relatively new. A taxi ride from Seoul Station costs around 9,000 Korean Won. Although breakfast is a fixed menu, I really enjoyed the beef soup with rice and had it every day. My child liked the seaweed soup with rice. The service was also great; I lost a room key, and they didn't charge me for it. It's about a 7-8 minute walk to both Mapo and Gongdeok stations. The room is a bit small, but after placing a 26-inch and a 20-inch suitcase on the floor, there's still enough space for two people to sit comfortably. The Daegu fried chicken nearby is delicious. There are free water dispensers and ice machines on the 10th and 20th floors. Laundry and drying each cost 5,000 Korean Won.

Booking Rune in Seoul was definitely the right choice. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the familiar style, and many small details were just to my liking. Plus, the room I booked was spacious enough, making for a comfortable stay. It's conveniently located near several subway lines, making it easy to get to Seoul Station, Incheon Airport, Yeouido, and Hongdae. The free coffee on the third floor is a great perk; if you're not insistent on trying cafes outside, this one is perfectly sufficient. There's also a A Twosome Place downstairs, which is great for breakfast.
