Review: Good for concert at KSPO
Positive points: The location was good.
Negative points: The atmosphere of the room was boring. The bathroom was grey and there is no Design!
Review: Poco is located just 2 mins from Seongsu Station, and near shopping streets and restaurants. The room, however, is very basic, toilet floor has water stains and bed too hard for my liking. There is free laundry within the hotel, but detergent is not provided. I would only recommend if you are looking for convenience while exploring seongsu, and don't have high expectation of the room.
Positive points: Nothing
Negative points: It's not a hotel, it's basically a motel with the horrible chlorine smell and not so clean bathroom. Rooms look nothing like on the photos, it's more of a prison cell type of situation with hard bed, 2 tiny pillows and white walls with paint stains all over them. Bathroom is tiny and wasn't super clean, corners look dirty and slimy.
Positive points: closed to train station / lot of cafes and shops around
Negative points: have to wait a bit long for a check in time
Review: This property shows significant wear and tear and represents a typical Korean motel with no facilities. It is disappointing that Agoda listed it as a 3-star hotel. I would not recommend staying here.
Positive points: location
Negative points: we have to wait for a while before we can move to the new room in connected date booking
Review: Breakfast should be included in the booking
Positive points: Location was amazing. Right by the Line 2 subway. And also very accessible to a bus line that goes straight to Incheon airport. Lots of cafes nearby.
Negative points: While they had complimentary access to a washer and dryer, they didn't have any laundry detergent. Also, one of the times I used the lobby bathroom there was no toilet paper... :(
Positive points: Location is excellent. Many eateries within 10 min walking distance. Seongsu is a wonderful hipster area with trendy shops and cafes. 24-hour convenience shop just next door to the hotel. Seongsu train station is a 3 min walk away. Seongsu is on the green line which connects to Hongdae, Gangnam and easily reaches Myeongdong via a transfer.rnrnHotel room and environment: Great. Cleaned everyday, my bed was made daily, the towels changed daily. The room was light-filled due to the large windows and it was pretty quiet. I was not disturbed. The pillows were a little soft for my liking. Housekeeping even folded my clothes. Great water pressure on the shower. Aircon was good and cold. rnrnThe hotel lobby had a fridge, hot and cold water dispenser and a microwave. Umbrellas offered for free when it rained. Internet was pretty speedy. They had a WOW machine for you to buy your train tickets and T-money (cashless card payment system accepted almost everywhere).
Negative points: Room: Shower had no screen, water ended up all over the bathroom floor. Smelled of ciggies as if previous guest smoked inside the toilet. Ventilation wasn't that great.rnrnStaff: Not the friendliest. More business-like and direct. Not sure if it's a Korean thing as I've read the same experience for other hotels in Seoul on this site. One or two of them aren't that friendly. But most of them are professional and fulfilled our basic requests.rnrnAlso there was an issue with communication. On the last day we asked them to book a taxi but they misheard us and got the timing wrong by 4 hours. They tried to reach us via the app but who reads the app while traveling? The taxi waited for us and we had to pay the driver a lot extra for the wait (side note: the driver and car was very professional, spoke well, was calm and friendly). The hotel did not offer to compensate or try to attempt to do a service recovery, instead they insisted that we told them the right timing. rnrnIn my experience, a properly trained front desk would write the request down on a note, show it to us for confirmation and then they can pass it on to the next person at the front desk during shift change. A simple change to this process can lead to improvement in their service.rnrnFuture guests, take note to put these down in writing. rnrnApart from this small hiccup, overall, I would recommend this place and will return. We will use app to book taxi in future.
Review: I like the location of the hotel which is nearby subway station and accessible to city
Positive points: Location to the train. Price was a capable. Couple of the staff were outstanding. One evening clerk ran over to a nearby Korean BbQ restaurant and made us a reservation. One woman front desk person was so pleasant and nice to us.
Negative points: Nothing open for breakfast. Hope area is dead until 9:00 in the morning on the weekends. Not a lot of eating options.
Review: Hotel Poco is a boutique hotel with convenient location. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable. We will be back!
Positive points: I loved the location and the attentiveness of the staff
Negative points: The king bed was just two singles pushed together which moved apart very easily. Not comfortable to sleep on
Review: Really near in the middle the shopping area , convenient. Not noisy , basic room but very wet toilet after shower and toilet flush is weak.
Positive points: I like the location because it's just one minute away from Seongsu station. Staffs were friendly and were always ready to help. Felt safe in this area too. CU mart is right beside and you can literally walk for 5 minutes to reach Dior Seongsu. Definitely worth the money.
Negative points: The room was a bit too small for our big luggages to spread out.
Review: Thanks so much for taking care of us during our stay. nSuper helpful tip: they have a washer and dryer that's free to use on the ground floor, you just need to pay for detergent. Would book again!
Positive points: The location is nice. It’s very close to Seongsu station, the new trend place to visit Seoul.
Negative points: Hotel doesn’t have doormat at the toilet.
