“Really good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012

I travelled with my family so we had 4 rooms. The rooms were a little bit small but beautifully clean and comfortable with good beds (1 queen and 1 single), pillows, and towels. The bathroom area had a good shower, basin & bidet/toilet (heated seat!) and was compact but perfectly OK. Breakfasts were the usual help-yourself buffet-style arrangements offering Korean and European foods and were plentiful and tasty. I didn't hear any noise at all from the nightclub; maybe it depends on which floor your room is on - we were on the 9th floor).

The hotel is ideally-placed with loads of restaurants serving different cuisines, shops, and 500m from the nearest underground station so getting around Seoul is easy. The 6060 bus to/from the airport stops right outside but taxis are plentiful and cheap if there are a few people travelling together.

Price-wise I think the hotel is really good value for money and I would recommend it. It doesn't offer 5-star luxury but then you're not paying 5 star prices.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on one of the higher floors; rooms numbered --10 have a good view out over Seoul

“Well worth staying here”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012 via mobile

Location in itaewon is good - airport bus stop is ten paces from main door and the metro only four mins walk. Room was well designed - loved the glass walls to the bathroom. Like everyone else, I found the darkness in the corridors strange but it wasn't a problem.
Room service stopped at 22:00..... I only found out when I tried to Oder about 22:45 one night! Hey ho..... It wasn't far to find something round the corner. Definitely worth considering if you are going to Seoul and don't mind being slightly away from the city centre. Though itaewon has a lot going on.

“Disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The location is convenient if you want to be in Itaewon, and reaching the hotel from the airport is very easy on the 6060 bus that runs from the terminal direct to the hotel.

Breakfast is good and the bed is comfortable.

But

The road noise is pretty unbearable unless you can go to sleep with background music to drown the hum out. I did enquire about moving, but seemingly all the rooms at the back are single beds, so be mindful if you're considering staying as a couple.

My room had definately been smoked in so smelled really quite musty.

The climate control panel in the room is disconnected so a constant 26 degrees was maintained, which i find a little warm at night so was very frustrating.

I was refused breakfast one morning at 0930 even though they advertised 0700 - 1000 as serving times.

Overall I had high expectations for the IP, but left feeling rather disappointed.

Room Tip: If you want any sleep go for a single room

“Ideal location for multicultural travellers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Located in the busy Itaewon district, this boutique hotel offers good value for money. Tastefully decorated lobby and efficient friendly staff makes checking in & out easy for you. The room size is small but the beds and pillows are always crisp and comfortable. The bathrooms are neat and tidy. The lobbys are dark and private. Buffet breakfast is good. Hotel location is excellent as you can walk up to the busy bustling street of Itaewon and shop for souveniers, dresses, shoes, bags and what not. There is a huge variety of restaurants and halal food is easily avaialble in Pakistani, Indian and Turkish restaurants. There is a mosque at a walking distance for prayers and a disco and clubs on the street too. We stayed there twice and I would return again.

“What a gem!”

Just returned from a 6 night stay here. Great hotel in a really convenient location. Just walk out of the hotel and you're surrounded by restaurants serving dishes from all over the world. We found the taxis, buses and the underground are all within easy reach. In fact the airport bus stops right outside the hotel. As we were a large party we had four rooms, all really nice and exactly as photos. Customer service was excellent. We only ate breakfasts in the hotel, we found the food was good, serving everything you could imagine. I noticed the restaurant was full each day with locals as well, always a good sign. Would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for one of the rooms with a bay. These are situated at left and right hand sides of the front o...
