Location was very convenient as the bus depot and subway were steps away from the entrance. Hotel aesthetic was industrial chic with a moody, urban atmosphere. Had a large bathroom with a shower and separate bathtub, separate toilet room, washer/dryer combo in room (2 packets of laundry soap provided), king size bed could fit 4 large adults so that was nice since there were only two of us. We weren’t able to utilize the full size refrigerator and freezer because our stay was short but it was nice to have the space for drinks and leftovers. The dining table was a highlight seating up to 7 (if you use the vanity chair). The walls seemed very thin so there were signs posted in the room asking you to keep the noise level down which was somewhat difficult with an all flooring room and metal furniture in the room not much to absorb sound. The elevators can get crowded especially before checkout. The area surrounding the hotel is quiet and there isn’t much nightlife because things close early so make sure to grab food early or your options might be limited.

Stayed at the GLAD Hotel and overall had a good experience. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large with excellent water pressure. The location was convenient with plenty of good restaurants within walking distance.

The main downside was the noise — kids running through the halls and doors slamming made it difficult to fully relax at times. Also, the “airport shuttle” is somewhat misleading. It’s actually a public city bus pickup located about 1.5 blocks from the hotel, not a dedicated hotel shuttle.

It was farther distance to many sites than I expected but Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel with a few drawbacks.

I understand this place is very cheap and maybe I should not have high expectations. But, I was underwhelmed by the experience. First morning I was woken up very early (6:30 or so) by the cleaner banging doors outside my room. While in Korea I worked at night so I would sleep around 4:00 am or so. Sleep was important to me. The staff did caution her and she woke me up around 7:30 the next morning in a similar fashion. Then there was constant noise with megaphones coming from a park of some sort in front of the hotel. I stayed here 6 nights so as you can imagine, I did not sleep much. Another night, a baby cried his lungs out right by my room. The walls are very thin. Room service was a hit or miss. Coke sometimes came with a glass of ice and sometimes it did not. The last night I ordered spicy ramen and got food poisoning so bad I thought I was going to die the next day. The staff was kind and attentive generally, but this place is definitely for those who are out early every day and barely spend any time inside the room.

Like many South Korean 4-star hotels this feels closer to a 5 star experience. Rooms are spacious, modern and clean. There's a good view of the National Assembly Building from the street and from the rooftop. But note the rooftop isn't easily accessible for anybody with mobility issues.

It's located in a part of Yeouido that is quiet, but still with many cafes and restaurants available; very good coffee available at Small Batch just nextdoor and GOTT Only Place a litte further down the road (turn right as you walk out of the hotel for these). Yeouido Park is also a short walk.

Gym has free weights and a smith machine, which is a rare find in hotels, but the gym and equipment is quite dated and in need of a refresh.

Staff are very pleasant and helpful.

This is a good place to stay in Seoul if you want to be somewhere quiet and relaxed and take public transport or taxis to the busier locations. Airport Bus 6007 from Incheon will drop you directly across the road, about a 1 hour trip.

Clean room, courteous staff, excellent Wi-Fi as it is in just about everywhere in Korea. Especially liked divided hard tile/wood floor. Loved their hygiene products. I wanted to buy their lotion but it wasn't available for sale. Very convenient location by the Korean National Assembly Building subway station. I was too busy to try their restaurant this time but I hope to try it next time. There was some noise around 8am-9am outside for political marketing/complaint but it didn't bother us.

My stay was okay since this wasn’t my first time here, but the experience felt sharper than expected, almost to the point where I wasn’t sure I’d want to return. I received a call shortly after 11:00 reminding me of checkout, and while I understand the policy, the tone felt rushed and a bit impolite. Being told there would be extra charges if I stayed past 11:20 came across as unnecessarily strict.

I believe it’s important for customers to have a consistent experience from check-in to check-out. Checking in was great, but the checkout experience left me questioning things.

Again, they don't let their guest use their gym between 6am and 8am, and between 12pm to 1pm and between 5pm to 10pm. This is absurd. If these times are blocked, when can I work out? They do this because they are running other paid PT classes during these times of the day. Then they should let this know in advance. I would not have booked this place if I had known.

Spotless clean facilities; our room was comfortable and quiet on the 14th floor, despite facing the street.
The staff is polite and professional, always ready to help.
The breakfast options are absolutely worth it - from Asian to European style, there is a wide selection of food of your liking.
Located at the Yeouido district and right by a metro stop, it is ideal because it feels like close to everything. If you use public transportation, the Airport Limousine Bus #6007 stops right across the street from and to the Incheon Airport.

Location is good

This hotel was perfectly fine, but not outstanding. The national assembly subway stop is literally across the street from the hotel front door. About 50 m away. The room seem to be a little noisy from other activities in the hotel or from outside. The soundproofing didn’t seem to be very good. I booked a corner room thinking I would have lots of windows, but really had just one small standard window on one wall and the other wall was blank, so no extra windows in a corner room

During my stay, the presidential election was taking place, which made things even worse. Every morning starting at 7 a.m., loudspeakers blasted repetitive announcements that I couldn’t understand—but I believe they were related to the election. It was incredibly noisy and disruptive. On the last night of my trip, there was a massive political rally right outside the hotel, with thousands of people gathered and loud music or speeches going nonstop from 5 p.m. all the way until 4 a.m. I couldn’t sleep at all.

Combined with the poor conditions and lack of basic service, I absolutely would not recommend this hotel.

Very nice hotel, but 30 min from Seoul Station & Myeongdong area. We found ourselves going back and forth from this area during our 3 day stay in Seoul. On our 4th day we stayed at a hotel nearer to Seoul Station to get back to the airport in a timely manner.

The area around the hotel is very quiet. There’s some nice restaurants within walking distance but some close early if there’s no one there, so make sure it’s open if you plan on going. Overall, the property is beautiful, modern & classy but to be so far from the “busy” part of Seoul was a bummer. If you want a suburban feel & things to be quiet then this is probably for you.

Poor Check-in experience

Check in was a hassle. Very strict with 3pm check in, we arrived 2.20pm and said we are not allowed to check in yet even if room is ready. I asked for reconsideration, front desk agreed to 2.30pm and asked me to wait. So i literally stood in front of the check-in counter for 10 mins just to wait for 2.30pm to hit, then they allowed us to be check in.

That is poor customer service for me, it is unnecessary to be that strict if you're in the hospitality business.

Hotel is clean and new.

It has a speakeasy bar on the ground floor.

Meh. Check-in and out processes seemed very rigid... Paid for 'early' check-in even though a room was available, lol... Missing a lot of the finer touches of higher end accommodations (though to be fair, they do not charge or position themselves as five-star). Soundproofing sorely lacking. Basic room footprint seemed a bit cramped. Buffet was nothing special. Everything seemed a bit DIY. Useful as a base for 'Han River' activities but would not recommend staying more than a day or two.
