Lovely decor & spacious room AND bathroom--well, it's a normal sized room by US standards; much more spacious having come from Japan. Not far from Itaewon metro station & on the edge of trendy Hannam neighborhood.

As it turns out, Itaewon is a great party area, and this hotel is located only a few blocks from the nightlife scene which also means you avoid the noise. Reviews for the Hamilton hotel literally in the nightlife area complain of late night noise. Had no noise issues here. Very nice, renovated clean rooms w excellent service. Most importantly the AC was excellent. I'll never travel to Seoul in August again. The humidity is brutal. Only criticism is the dark hallways which is just a downer vibe. FYI the sports channels start at 100 which i mostly watched bc you don't really need to know Korean. Also, channel 53 plays kpop.

Nice Boutique Hotel in Formerly Fun Area

Overall, the stay was nice. Clean hotel, amazing helpful/knowledgeable front-desk. The sheets could have been softer and might have been nice to have an iron/ironing board in the room. The gym was decently equipped for a small hotel. If you need to be in Itaewon, this hotel should be on your short list. My first visit back to Korea in 7 years and post-pandemic, I'd highly recommend exploring other areas to stay. Lots of closed/empty stores, and the best restaurants are gone--there are a few clubs still open, but this area seems like a shadow of itself. Didn't feel unsafe, just eerily empty.

Stressful Stay

Hotel is easy to locate and accessible. But the hotel itself is outdated, hallway from elevator to room is dark. Room is dusty, the mouldy smell will welcome you upon entering the room. There is water leak in the cr the time we check in the room, although the staff address it quickly, still uncomfortable for us, coming from the long trip and expecting to have a relaxing room upon arrival, instead it give us more stress. Also no available food to order in the hotel or in the nearby areas in late night time, since we arrive like 8pm from airport, waiting hours for the leak cr to be fix, and sleep hungry because no food to order. But all the staff are commendable, they are helpful and quick in action.

It was really clean, very well designed in my opinion and the staff was extremely polite and caring. Even held my luggage after checkout when my flight back was at night . I will definitely recommend to stay here if you want to stay in Itaewon. Very close to a lot of foods, clubs and bus stops/ Subway stations are also walking distance.

Imperial palace was our home for 2 weeks while we stayed in Seoul and I’m beyond happy with this choice. It was near the subway (Itaewon station) and was easy to get anywhere in the city from there. The nightlife on the weekends were lively but the party areas were far enough from the hotel that it didn’t disturb us. Very clean part of town and safe. Lots of shopping nearby with lots of restaurants at a walkable distance. The trail to hike up to the Namsan tower is close, as well. The hotel itself was very clean and well kept with swanky vibes and moody lighting. The staff was super accommodating and friendly! Would definitely stay here again! By mid trip, we started referring to it as “home”.
