Good: Room in great condition and wonderful staff. Conveniently attached to a convenience store with proximity to three train lines.

To improve: Toilet bidet did not appear to function in my room. Room was too hot (26⁰C). No way to cool aside from opening the window. Street noises are too loud to keep window open while asleep.

The location is good. Very accessible via bus or train. You also get a discount at the cafe attached to the hotel. If you are staying on a Sunday there is flea market close by

The only problem we had is that during our stay, another guest was smoking inside their room and the smoke would go through the vents. We had to quickly leave the room as we have a toddler with us and prefer not to inhale second hand smoking. I'm not sure if it's implied \"no smoking indoors\" that's why there are no signs for it. But I do hope they indicate it somewhere. This didn't just happen one time, this occurred at least 3-4 times during our 10-day stay.

Great place to stay at a reasonable price in this area of Seoul. The breakfast that was included was excellent, offering both western and Korean inspired options. Staff and cleaners were very considerate and left extra towels and water outside of our room while we were out.

I would consider staying here again in the future.

This hotel was near the Sinseoldong Subway Station making it very easy to get to places by public transportation. Across the road from the hotel between the hotel and the subway station was a really excellent restaurant, Hymchan Jangeo. Something really nice about the hotel: there was a foreign currency exchange machine right in the lobby. Very convenient. The only complaint that I have is that the room was a little bit cramped. Given all the other positives, however, I really recommend this hotel.

Overall we loved our stay at IBC Hotel. Check in was easy. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The fridge was continuously stocked with water. Fresh towels and the shower essentials provided. The location was a short walk over to the subway station (Sinseol-dong) which was convenient. The neighborhood was quiet as much of it is residential. The hotel was across the street from E-Mart which also was nice. Felt safe in the area. The rooms could be a bit larger but you would be spending more money. Highly recommend.

However the sheets were not comfortable, the Air Conditioning did not work, the shower took a very long time to get warm, the room had a lot of dust, the bathroom was not very clean, and the carpets were very old and felt like they had not been cleaned in a very long time.

the staff are friendly, rooms are clean, and i like the convenience of having a 7/11 in the hotel. the only thing is that its far away from almost all touristy neighborhoods like myeongdong, hongdae, seongsu etc. so you do have to take the bus or subway to most places since it’s more like a residential area. the good thing is that the subway station is like a 5 minute walk so its not bad at all!

The hotel room was fairly spacious, and it was fairly quiet during the evenings. I enjoyed the full size bathroom. I also enjoyed being able to control the room temperature. The staff is very kind and greeted me every time I walked by. Water bottles were always refilled every day. The breakfast was good there, with a nice selection. The hotel is located walking distance from a main subway line. There are many restaurants nearby as well. On the weekends there is a flea market nearby which is cool to look at all the items for sale. There is also a coin laundry and a small gym which is a plus.

The only reason I did give this five stars is because they didn’t have air conditioning available when I went (during autumn), only heater, even though the weather was unseasonably warm so the room was stifling. Other than that, the room was clean, the breakfast was extensive and the staff were friendly. Having the convenience store attached to the hotel was a godsend because I could get late night ramyeon without even going outside!

We used the laundry a couple of times which was easy. The 7-eleven was great to have as part of the hotel, and the Twosome Place was great for a couple of breakfasts on fast paced mornings.

The location was great as it was a short walk to Sinseol-dong metro station for Line 1 and 2. The area was nice around the hotel, with a lovely little chicken place just up the road.

There is a luggage storage service available before check-in time or after checkout, free of charge. The rooms are kept clean and peaceful, and the Korean front desk staff can communicate in English. The Korean housekeeping staff are attentive and friendly. We did not have the chance to try the breakfast, gym, or laundry facilities. If you need any quick snacks or essentials, there is a 7-Eleven located within the hotel, behind the lobby area. To travel from the hotel to the airport or vice versa, you can take the bus. The nearest bus stop is approximately a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. You will need to take bus numbers 6002 and 17,000 won for a one-way trip. We highly recommend trying the fried chicken from Gamachi Chicken, which is located near the hotel – it's incredibly delicious! Lastly, if you're staying during the weekend, there's a flea market nearby which is worth checking out.

The staff were very accommodating and helpful. We were able to check in half an hour early, and although the room was a little small, my wife and I made the most of it. I must say that the shower pressure and temperature was the highlight in the room. There is a button you can press for Do Not Disturb and Housekeeping, and that was wonderful and easy. My wife and I stayed for 12 days and 11 nights, and we definitely recommend this hotel. Right across the hotel is the entrance to the Seoul Folk Flea Market where we had our first meal when we arrived. We tried the fish cake with soup and it was very good! The hotel is about a 5-6 minute walk to the Line 1 station (Sinseol-Dong station), and it is very walkable. Not to mention there is an Olive Young right across the station exit (Exit #10). You also have the trifecta of convenience stores around the hotel within the same block (7 Eleven, CU, and GS25. There are also very good restaurants within the vicinity, my wife and I had one of the best jajamyung and tonsuyuk within a 6-7 minute walk from the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting South Korea, and it is away from the tourist attractions which makes it very quiet. Upon checking out, I tried to order a Kakao T, but the large ones were not available. The gentleman at the front desk was able to call a taxi van to the airport, which was a life saver. I will definitely come back to this hotel when I come back to South Korea. Thank you IBC Hotel!
