10.0 Affordable and conveniently located location - Ann 16-06-2025

Review: I stayed at Top Hotel with a friend and we really enjoyed our stay here. The location is pretty convenient, it’s a short walk to the train station and not too far from hotspots like Myeondong, Seongsu and Hongdae. The surrounding area is great, the hotel is right next to lanes of cute cafes and shops, and it’s pretty quiet and peaceful at night.

10.0 Great service, wonderful location. Would stay there again! - Anonymous 12-06-2025

Positive points: I liked being able to grab my own water bottles, towels, and tissues if needed.

Negative points: Not having separate disposable bins for food waste, general trash, and recycling.

10.0 Exceptional - Panupong 31-05-2025

Review: The location was very great. Around with many restaurants and cafe. The staff service is very awesome and nice.

10.0 A stay I would remember for a long time - Khanh 05-06-2025

Positive points: Easily the best place I’ve ever stayed in Korea!! First of all, the staffs were amazing. Very friendly and helpful all the time. They also answered my questions in details in advance via message which was really helpful. They also helped us exchange money for bus and helped us with so many other stuff. Also, the place is perfect location wise. Close to bus + train station and walkable to many tourist attractions. So many restaurants and cafes close by too. Very convenient. The hotel itself was super clean and had everything we needed. Really appreciated having a kitchen and washing machine as we traveled with a small child. Was able to borrow a hanger rack to hang clothes and the clothes dried pretty well inside the room. Will definitely stay here again when we go to Seoul next time!

Negative points: Nothing

9.2 Amazing location, friendly and helpful staff - Yi 27-05-2025

Review: Before booking, I had no idea the hotel was so conveniently located in the heart of Ikseon-dong, within walking distance to a large list of attractions such as Insadong, the Bukchon Hanok Village, palaces, and a lively and bustling food street filled with late-night eateries. While the space was a bit small for two travellers and luggage, it was cosy and served its purpose very well. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and were happy to provide recommendations for local food and attractions. I would definitely love to stay here again in future!

9.0 Excellent - maria 05-06-2025

Positive points: Location

Negative points: Room is bit small but manageable. (Actual room side is same is other hotel but looks smaller due to space used for a large refrigerator /stove/ and washer.

7.6 Good location - Rhiannon 25-05-2025

Review: Great location. Room a little small though!

8.0 Very good - Danielle 01-06-2025

Positive points: Friendly staff and free water available during the whole period of the stay. Location is good (close to the train station)

Negative points: When showering the whole bathroom gets wet, but this is more of a country issue than a hotel issue

8.0 Very good - Richard 11-05-2025

Review: Really liked our stay at top Hotel. Staff helped us with any problems we had. Don't let the location stop you. There are some very nice restaurants just down the alley. Once past all the stores you come out at Junga 3 metro station. Topgol park, very close, has interesting historical statues and watching the old men gather to play korean chess was a treat.

8.0 Very good - Phuong 25-05-2025

Positive points: The staff is so friendly and helpful. They can speak good English and always gave us excellent service. The location is also very good

10.0 Awesome - Ivan 10-05-2025

Review: Great room, quiet, close to everything.

8.0 A good place to rest to explore all of Seoul - Janine 14-05-2025

Positive points: My favorite part is the location! It was so perfect for my first few days in Seoul. The staff is exceptionally kind.

Negative points: I don’t really have dislikes. The hotel met the needs I needed for while I was there.

9.6 Practical location to stay - Garett 06-05-2025

Review: Staff was very friendly and location was great! Room was small, but that's pretty typical.

8.0 Great budget option walking distance to sights! - Ashley 09-05-2025

Positive points: Great location. Room was a good size and having the small kitchen and washing machine were a great bonus!

Negative points: Bathroom. Every time we showered we flooded the room. Beds were very firm.

10.0 Strtegic lovation with lovely staff - CHNG 26-04-2025

Review: This place is strategically located, making it highly convenient for visitors. What truly sets it apart, though, is the lovely staff (Especially Mr. Brandon) go above and beyond to provide exceptional service. Highly recommended!

9.0 Great bang for your buck! - Quentin 14-04-2025

Positive points: Room was small but very comfy and met all of my needs as a solo traveler. For the price of 13 days it was very good and the location was perfect as you are able to get to any of the major tourist sight in Seoul with relative ease. Blackout curtains ( or very thick ones) are in the room so if you are not a morning person or after a long night out it is very easy to sleep in. Hair dryer is provided in the room and the water pressure is excellent.

Negative points: This didn't bother me but it might for others so please note a few things. 1. Bathroom is small so taking a shower wet the entire floor so plan accordingly(?) 2. No breakfast provided. 3. Walls are thin 4. Don't remember exact price but you have to pay for dryer use, however they do offer drying racks as a free alternative. 5. Staff is not 24/7 (they have lives you'll have to catch them when they come in the morning.)

10.0 Prime Location - Melania 22-03-2025

Review: Stay here on winter, the heating 100% work. Super warm inside. Evening time is walking distance to Jongno cafes and shop with traditional Korean architecture. nSo many Korean restaurant, street food and convenient store nearby. Have elevator for your luggage. I will definetely stay here again!

9.0 Centrally located in older insadong neighborhood. Close to subway station that Line1/3/5 that runs through it. V - Kiet 09-04-2025

Positive points: Location, one minute from Line 5 metro station and walking distance to many main sights as well as smack in the middle of Insadong. The staffs are super friendly and helpful. Laundry convenience is a plus for a long stay.

Negative points: Room is small but still very functional. We didn’t have a kettle in our room and would be perfect if more hangers were provided.

9.2 Cozy room - Erick 20-03-2025

Review: It was very nice stay. Had a place to cook a full fridge and even a washing machine. This made the place very efficient for our stay. Close by a lot stores and restaurants and other attractions to visit.

10.0 Exceptional - Adriana 27-03-2025

Positive points: Love the location, so close to the subway and places to eat and drink. I liked that I was able to wash my clothes. The staff was helpful and nice. The room is a bit tight but didn't bother me. nI wish the shower had a shower curtain..
