Lovely place with a good access from/to airport

The place is very interesting. At first I was a bit skeptic but I ended up loving it. The young male staff were very friendly and very helpful. The room was very spacious. The location is very strategic and well-located to catch airport bus. The sharing kitchen is an amazing facility. During my stay, most of regular people who used the shared facilities were people who speak Koreans, so you may feels a bit lost in translation. But other than that, all is wonderful. Definitely will come again.

Great stay in downtown Seoul

First of all, the staff were outstanding. Very, very friendly and extremely helpful. The overall concept of GLOCALOCA is great, and my only minor comment is that, since the hotel is so progressive when it comes to eco-friendliness, why not do away with the complimentary toothbrushes as well. The rooms are very spacious and the updated interior is great, including the change from the Koreana Hotel's carpet to laminate flooring. The lounge and office space are great, too. It would be nice if the rooms were slightly cheaper, say, 125k instead of 150k, but it's Seoul, it's downtown, and it's still more affordable than other competitors. I will definitely stay here again, and as much as I enjoyed my previous stays at the Koreana, I would always opt for the GLOCALOCA now instead.

Perfect stay

I recently had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The manager’s kindness made our experience memorable. The location is perfect, offering convenience and a great atmosphere. The modern interior adds a stylish touch, and our room, ideal for our family of four, had two queen beds, a mini fridge, and a table with seats. The common room’s amenities, including free water, coffee, and ramen were a thoughtful bonus. Highly recommend!

Good value and lication.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It is a little difficult being in another hotel..you have to remember to tell the taxi driver Koreana Hotel. The room was large. Nice lounge area for baby to crawl around. Washer, dryer, stove do not have English instructions and staff were not always at the welcome desk. No high chair for babies. The location was great.

Great location, prices, and cleaniness . Airport remo stops at the hotel front, so close to public transport and historical places. I love this place offered free use of washing machine and dryer, free coffee, filtered water machine, cozy office area, and cooking facilities. I will definitely come back if i am to stay longer in Seoul. The only downside was the centrally controlled room temp, I felt too warm( as it' s freezing outside)

I liked that it was in a good location. The red bus tour started right outside the hotel. The limo bus from airport line 6701 drops you off right in front of the hotel. You can buy a 2 day discover Seoul card at the hotel for 60,000 won. They have a spa on 8th floor. A kitchen is available with coffee, cereal, and ramen.

This hotel is on the 19th and 20th floors of Koreana Hotel. We were confused and drove around without finding it because there was no signs nor anything indicating their existence. The room was nice and clean. The staff, Mr. Park was very accomodating, and he spoke good English. There were ice machine, water filtered machine, washer and dryer. Would highly recommend it.

I checked out the hotel on my first day despite that my booking was a 3 nights stay. The hotel is only half renovated which wasn’t up to my standard. Overall I didn’t feel comfortable when I stepped into the hotel and made up my mind to book any hotel within 2 hours after checking in.

大人4人、子供4人で３泊滞在させていただきました。ホテルも綺麗で、スタッフさんも優しく、とても良いホテルです。 とくに共有キッチンが、8人で軽食をとるのにも、夜飲み直すのにもとても便利でした。ホテルは、コリアナホテルの20階にありますが、20階に上がるには、コリアナホテルのロビーにあるGLOCALOCAのカードキーをエレベーターでタッチしないと20階のボタンが押せないので要注意です。次回の渡韓もこちらを利用させていただきたいです。
