8.0 Room wa ok - sushil 29-04-2025

Positive points: Room was nice.

Negative points: A little extra walk from the station. Sometime price fluctuations

8.0 8 hotel korea - Christopher 21-04-2025

Review: The place is Simple.

7.0 Reasonable price for a cozy stay, if you don't mind cleaning the room yourself. - Anna 16-04-2025

Positive points: Good value for price. The location was great with many restaurants, 7-11, and bus stops nearby. The room was small but cozy, and the heated mattress cover was nice in the winter weather. The room had a fridge and a kettle which was convenient. I had to ask for the door code before check in, but I got a timely reply. I was assigned a room on the 3rd floor - beware there is no elevator so you need to bring up your own luggage, as there is no staff on site.

Negative points: The staff were not always responsive. Not clean - I found a hair on the bed and the toilet had urine all over the seat, so I had to clean the room myself. It is in a noisy neighbourhood with bars next door, so you cannot leave the window open for sunlight in the morning when you go to sleep.

7.2 Very good - Chee 25-03-2025

10.0 Exceptional - Green 08-08-2024

10.0 Excellent for the money - Galo 09-03-2025

Review: We had a great time staying at the hotel. It is a very private space and the instructions for entering the room were absolutely clear. I would recommend 🙌🏼

3.0 DO NOT TRUST the 10/10 reviews! - Lilia 01-07-2024

Positive points: The location is good. It is actually close to the subway and a lot of things. However that's literally the only good thing. I might consider stay there in case of an emergency for one night.

Negative points: The owner said he would give me a Starbucks coupon if I gave him a 10. This Korean culture thing about buying good reviews with coupons and stuff is the cancer of Korean websites, I hope it doesn't spread to Booking. nPlace was dirty when we arrived, there was hair on the walls and the toilet was wet and had a strong bleach smell. nIf you have big luggage, do not book, the subway exit with the elevator is actually far the accommodation and there is no elevator in the the Motel. Because, it is a Motel and definitely not a hotel. nDo not get fooled by the cute decoration, it's just a way to hide the huge lack of hygiene. They want you to sort the trash, but they don't give plastic bags for your room trash cans.

3.2 Dissapointed - Ken 07-12-2024

Review: Very disappointed. nMy room was outside the building, on top of the roof of another house. The heating system did not work so I was freezing the whole night, and it's a motel, not a hotel. If you don't care where you stay, this place may be for you, but if you care a little bit, don't go here.

9.0 pretty nice in a good area - Inna 21-06-2024

Positive points: the room is incredible, so cute and petite, felt like Alice in Wonderland

Negative points: a little dirty and all the things are fakes, I advise you to take your own cups and your own cosmetic accessories

6.4 Cozy - Rena 22-11-2024

7.0 If you don’t need too much comfort, go! - SAENIA 17-06-2024

Negative points: - No ventilation in the toilet so it was stinking a bit.n- You need to take care of your trashn- No wardrobe, just tome small shelves

3.0 I love Seoul and travel there at least once per year, but I will never stay at 8 Hotel again. - Brian 04-06-2024

Positive points: The location was the only thing that I really liked about this place. Nearby there are some great restaurants and the nearest subway station is not too far of a walk.

Negative points: After booking, I was sent this message: Your room number and password will be sent to you before 4pm followed by my check-in date.rnrnI arrived in the evening and checked my booking.com app. That room number and password were not sent to me. I messaged the host and did not receive a response. I went to the restaurant next door and talked to the staff via Google Translate, and they kindly called the host for me. Had I arrived later in the night when that restaurant was closed or the host was asleep, I would have been stuck outside in the cold. I was terribly nervous.

6.4 Disappointing - Courtney 06-11-2024

Review: Walls are thin (can be very noisy, depending on your neighbor), and the bathroom smelled.
