Top Itaewon-dong Hotel Reviews
The Shilla Seoul
10/10 Excellent
"Great pool"
Hotel Manu Seoul Station
8/10 Good
"Overall a pretty decent stay. The room was clean and the bathroom was great! My TV did not work, i could have asked front desk but it wasn't a huge deal for me. Also, the elevators are kind of confusing at first, since the entrance is a bar/restaurant and the check-in desk is on the 2nd floor and there was no 2 button.. but obviously it's just the next floor up. Mainly booked due to distance from Seoul Station but forgot about stairs lol so beware if you are bringing heavy luggage and coming from Seoul Station; Exit 7 from Seoul Station (closest exit to the hotel) is just stairs.. stairs.. and more stairs. I suggest going on Naver Maps and using the "avoid stairs" option - which is how I was able to manage."
