If you want some strong water pressure and a hot shower this is the place for you. Some of the hotel shows its aging and need for renovation. Beds were comfortable and staff did a good job. Overall 4 out of 5 stars for me.

Koreana Hotel is centrally located to most of the popular tourist attractions. You can go anywhere by foot and grab great foods not to mention subway and bus transportations are really close by. The staff are excellent and very nice. Rooms are quiet and very clean. They have a cleaning staff cleaning rooms everyday and asks if you need anything. I would definitely recommend this hotel to tourist or regular people who visits Korea. This hotel is top tier for the reasonable prices.

This was an excellent hotel, a very good value for what we paid. The room was very large and had lots of storage for our 6 night stay. Everything was newer, there were plenty of options for charging electronics - we did not need a converter. We were there for a vacation and many others guests were also, but it looked like the other half of guests were there for business since this is a very central location. The minor things we did not like - the automatic light in the entry hall next to the bathroom that would turn on for at least 30 seconds when you walked in the hall - it did not have a switch and you can not make it stay dark. Also a problem with all hotels now - you only get a thick and heavy blanket/comforter, hotels need to give you an option for a thinner blanket for summer.

It definitely felt more like a 3 star hotel, there was an outdated look feel to it. The photos must be quite old. The buffet breakfast was ok, it could around £10 per person. They were able to organise airport taxi (charged more coming from the airport, nearly twice as much)! There was Netflix on the tv. The location is ok but still need to get taxis everywhere. There is a tiny convenience on site which is useful

We had a great stay at Koreana Hotel in Seoul. The location was excellent, close to tourist spots, restaurants, and subway stations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The only minor issue was that the bathroom floor tended to get flooded after showering. Aside from that, everything else was great. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

The staff, the room, and the rest of the hotel were excellent 5/5. The staff was happy to hold our luggage after checkout until our flight later in the day, and housekeeping went above and beyond each day. The only small complaint is that the AC isn’t really adjustable (no matter what we set it at, it always stayed at 71 degrees), and the lights were inconvenient. You had to insert your keycard to turn the lights on, which is fine, but the only issue is when you get up to use the bathroom at night - you either have to turn all the lights on and potentially wake anyone you share a room with (the lamps have individual switches but the hallway lights don’t have separate switches so they always turn on when the keycard is inserted), or you have to use the bathroom in the dark. Aside from this, I have no complaints. The location of the hotel is very close to popular attractions and shopping areas, and the CU next door was very handy!

The hotel hallways smelled strongly of cigarette smoke even though the rooms are all supposedly non-smoking.

Note that any damaged to room - including blocked toilet - would need to be covered by guest’s insurance or credit card. It’s important you inform the hotel as soon as possible after you check in.

The hotel was very conveniently located, the staff were helpful. There were limited amenities in the room - the furniture and overall condition of the room was tired but very clean. The A/C had a mind of its own and either did not work or was unable to handle the weather since the room was either freezing or much too warm - my impression was that the controls in the room did nothing and it was operated by some outside force. Room service was very prompt and delicious. We called to order an iron and it arrived very swiftly. The room was very technologically enabled and we were able to order anything we needed via the tablet in the room, which was cool. Also all the lighting (and A/C, theoretically) was controllable via a control panel next to the bed, which was also neat. The windows were large but they had some sort of modern shell retrofit to the building so your view out is set back a foot or so from the actual exterior. There was a convenience store right next door which was great. It was necessary to close the curtains at night as there was a large display on the building across the street that remained on all night and flashing lights would come in the window. Overall our stay was pleasant.

We stayed at the Koreana Hotel Seoul and found the location to be fantastic. It’s very close to major attractions, transport links, and everything Myeongdong has to offer, with plenty of food and shopping options within easy walking distance.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which we appreciated.

However, the room itself was a bit of a let-down. While it appears that some rooms in the hotel have been recently renovated to a much more modern standard, ours felt quite dated in comparison. The bathroom in particular showed its age, and the shower is in need of refurbishment.

We also tried the café on the second floor for breakfast. Unfortunately, the selection was quite limited, and it felt overpriced for what was offered, so not great value for money.

Overall, our experience was mixed. The excellent location and friendly staff were definite highlights, but the room quality did not meet expectations. I believe our stay would have been significantly better had we been allocated one of the renovated rooms.

Hotel had breakfast buffet I used twice while on my 6-day trip. It was convenient for lazy mornings. I appreciated the self-service laundry facility in the building. It meant I didn't have to over pack clothes. Airport limousine right outside the hotel was also great. All staff were wonderful. Everyone was nice and welcoming.

The hotel has an excellent location, with most major tourist attractions within easy walking distance, which is definitely its strongest point. Unfortunately, the room experience did not match the convenience of the location.
The first room I was given was extremely dusty, and several pieces of furniture were visibly stained. I stayed in the room for no more than five minutes before going back to reception. To their credit, the staff were helpful and arranged a room change for the following day.
The second room had better furniture and was an improvement, but I still think that the price point is too high for the quality.

Also, the temperature in the rooms cannot be controlled by guests and is managed entirely by the hotel, which made it uncomfortable at times. Additionally, the walls are very thin, so noise from other rooms and the hallway was clearly audible.

I never write reviews, but this time I think is necessary. The photos on Expedia of this hotel's rooms, installations, and lobby are not realistic. The hotel is pretty old and not well taken care of. The Carpets, walls, and lighting are out of date, the room is smelly; they advertise the availability of spa and gym, and do not make it clear these facilities are closed over the weekend. Th staff in the lobby are focused on selling the buffet breakfast and dinner. The location is very good, and beds are confortable, but if you want to stay there because of the spa, contact them directly to make sure they will have it open when you get there.
