Hotels near Mapo Station, Seoul

"We booked a triple room, and while it was still quite small, it was enough for three girls. We could even open three 24-inch suitcases, though it made the aisle a bit crowded. The bathroom was actually pretty spacious. The room and beds were small, with not much storage space, so we ended up using the windowsill. The toiletries were L'Occitane, which was a nice touch! We took the 6015 airport bus directly to Gongde Station. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, several other hotels nearby, and if you walk a little further, you can get to Fritz Coffee. There are quite a few good food options around if you explore a bit. It's also close to the subway, so transportation is convenient."

"The location is fantastic, right next to the airport shuttle, subway, and bus stops. For a hotel in Japan or Korea, the bathroom is quite spacious. The service is great, and the room is clean and tidy. It's a bit on the smaller side though; we could barely open two 28-inch suitcases flat on the floor, and they did block the way a bit. There's also a famous 40-year-old ginseng chicken soup restaurant right across from the hotel."

"Recommended place: The location is excellent, with two subway lines nearby. However, Gaode Maps doesn't show the exits clearly, and it's particularly tricky to find the right exit when coming from the airport line. It's actually more convenient and closer to take the subway one more stop to Mapo Station on Line 5. It's very easy to get to places like Hongdae and Gwangjang Market by subway. Walking to the nearby Gongdeok market takes about ten minutes. Most restaurants open quite late. The area is bustling, with many restaurants and 24-hour convenience stores nearby, including quite a few trendy spots. There's a front desk staff member who speaks Chinese. I noticed many Chinese guests staying here. The service is average; perhaps they don't encourage eating in the rooms as they don't provide cutlery. If you buy food, remember to ask the store for disposable utensils. The bed is quite large. The cleanliness and quality of the bedding are average. Nowadays, all Korean hotels don't provide toothbrushes and toothpaste, so remember to bring your own or buy them at a convenience store. If you're out exploring all day and just need a place to sleep and eat at night, it's a decent option."

"The location is fantastic, right on the airport express line, making it easy to get to all the major shopping districts. The facilities are a bit old, but still acceptable. The front desk service was excellent!"

"The hotel is conveniently located right by Mapo subway station, making it easy to get around. There's a street with local eateries right behind the hotel, offering pretty much anything you'd want to eat. **Positive Review** **Room Facilities:** The room is quite spacious, and the living room has a sofa and a table, which is very convenient. There are two bathrooms with separate wet and dry areas, a clothes dryer, an air purifier, and a full set of hair dryers, making it ideal for families. **Only downside:** You have to pay to add an extra blanket, and it's ₩55,000 Korean Won per night."

"Pros: Location: A 5-6 minute walk from Sinchon subway station, excellent location, close to the train station and Myeongdong. Considering the location, the price is good; you can get a single room for around 200 (currency not specified). Contactless check-in is very convenient. The environment is new, and the room facilities are comprehensive, including a fridge, microwave, kettle, and TV. There are many power outlets in the room. The storage space is well-designed, making it easy to store luggage and hang clothes. Cons: I can't understand why there's a pillar in my room; it's inconvenient. The desk is tucked inside the pillar, which is very dark; I suggest installing a light there. The room had a strong damp smell, so I opened the windows and doors to air it out for a long time. Also, there's no one in the living room, so I basically hung out there and only went back to the bedroom to sleep. The window is super small, almost a bit cute... Furthermore, I dropped something by the side of the bed and needed to move the bed to retrieve it. This pillar was very much in the way. I then accidentally noticed that the edges of the bed were disgusting, covered in dust and hair.... That's all. Additional Information: The guesthouse is on the 3rd and 4th floors. There is no elevator. Luggage storage is in an empty space on the 2nd floor, not in the guesthouse rooms. No breakfast is provided."

"Amenity is substantial. Cosmetics and emulsion were also complete, and at the reception, we received a set of travel sets such as shampoo, conditioner and cleansing. Apart from the towel in the cherry blossom room, there is a towel in the corridor, which is useful when necessary. There was a water server in the pass corridor, and I thought it was great. A little walk from Sakai Station. I think the bus stop is closer."

"If you're checking in late, the hotel will send you a message asking you to email your passport and booking confirmation after 3 PM on the day of arrival. However, emailing them after 3 PM is pointless. In reality, once you arrive at the hotel, you're supposed to contact them via a QR code for their social media, but this isn't explained anywhere. I tried to inquire beforehand through Trip.com's messaging function, thinking I couldn't attach files, but they still didn't provide this information. On the day of arrival, I was on pins and needles, sweating profusely, wondering if I'd even have a place to stay. And the 'private bathroom'? It was a cramped shower and sink combo, smaller than anything I've seen in Egyptian accommodations. There's no way to avoid soaking everything, yet there was no bathmat, not even a bath towel (though regular towels were provided). The air conditioning also wasn't very effective, despite being set to 22 degrees. For me, it was a rather challenging stay. However, since I did manage to stay without any major issues, and their message replies are quick, I think it's acceptable if you're prepared for 'that kind of experience' beforehand."

"The location is decent; it's just around the corner from Hongdae and Sinchon subway stations. However, be careful as the entrance is next to a CU convenience store, and it's easy to miss. The front desk staff speaks Chinese, and the service is okay. The room facilities are a bit old, and while it looked clean, I'm prone to bug bites and even with a disposable bedsheet, I still got two bites, probably from dust mites. Also, the room ventilation isn't great. They offer a special Olive Young discount coupon: ₩5,000 off a purchase of ₩100,000 or more."

"My stay at Ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Yongsan was excellent overall! The hotel environment was clean and comfortable, and the room was tidied very neatly, making me feel relaxed after checking in. What I liked most was its incredibly convenient location. The hotel is very close to Yongsan Station, within walking distance. Yongsan Station itself is a crucial transportation hub, making it easy to take the subway to downtown Seoul or catch a train to other cities. This location is a real time-saver, especially if your itinerary involves taking the KTX. Furthermore, the hotel is also very close to I'Park Mall, which is incredibly convenient for dining, shopping, grabbing coffee, or buying daily necessities, without needing to plan extra time to travel far. It's also easy to head back to the hotel after shopping, which is a huge plus for independent travelers. If you need to go to Seoul Station, it's also very convenient; a quick ride from Yongsan Station will get you there without having to drag your luggage through multiple transfers. For someone like me who has a busy itinerary and needs to move around to different places daily, this location is truly practical. Overall, this is a hotel with convenient transportation, complete amenities, and comfortable accommodation. Whether you're traveling independently, on a business trip, or need to take a train to another city, I highly recommend choosing the Yongsan area. 😊"
