Recommended Hotels Near Gongdeok Station

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MAPO

Seoul
|0.06km from city center
The staff were very welcoming and the hotel pool was fantastic – really big, even larger than the five-star hotel next to Mapo. It cost a one-time fee of 20,000 KRW, and the hygiene was excellent. I was the only one there the day I went, which was amazing! The hotel is a bit older, but the facilities are still quite comprehensive. The gym is decent, though it doesn't have a huge variety of equipment. The hotel's location is super convenient, right by the subway exit, making it perfect for short trips. There's a good variety of breakfast options, but nothing particularly standout.

Alps Private Studio Mapo

Seoul
|0.07km from city center
The overall area is quite large. The common living facilities in the room are quite complete, such as washing machines, refrigerators, electric kettles and other quite complete household appliances, as well as complete toiletries. Although the decoration of the room is relatively simple, it is very comfortable and very comfortable. The fresh style, whether for long-term or short-term residence, is an excellent choice and highly recommended.

Shilla Stay Mapo (Hongdae)

Seoul
|0.19km from city center
My friend and I arrived at the hotel much earlier than the check-in time, but the staff still served us willingly and provided luggage storage. The housekeeping service was good. All the staff were happy to help and always greeted us with smiles. The hotel’s location is perfect—right next to the subway station—so we could easily take the train to tourist attractions.

Naru Hostel Korea

Seoul
|0.49km from city center
Naru hostel runs on a self check in basis. Our room was at the top of a very narrow staircase on the laundry floor. Though humid, once the air con was on it was okay. The laundry was free between 8am-10pm which was a nice touch. Small fridge also in the room. The room itself was quite cramped, two small single beds separated by the fridge width. The blankets and pillows appeared clean however were not a quilt/duvet type which may be more difficult to wash as they were more the decorative type. Maybe a sheet would be more practical? The towels for the bathroom were no bigger than a small facial flannel which was a little impractical when drying. The bathroom was a decent size but the setup of the shower head coming from the sink tap was impractical as only hot water could come out the tap, and the shower head often spurted out water over our heads when using the sink. The location was good- 5 mins to the metro station meaning only a 10-15 minute trip to the bustling myeongdong area. We would stay again based on value for money in Seoul.
