Hotels and Accommodation near Jongno 5(o)-ga Station High View The Plaza

I was transferred to oher hostel, Seoul Hostel, they said my room that I supposed to stay was renovated because the AC was broken. So they transferred me to another hostel in ankther place but the condition was so dirty and under my expectation. Thanks God I just stay there for one night.

Good place n clean. Near with bus station

The front desk staff is always helpful and proficient in English, making communication easy and ensuring our needs were met. We felt welcomed and well-supported throughout our stay.

With the reasonable price, everything is perfect. The room is small but enough, have window so airy, clean, convenient with kitchen, shared bathroom if you want to use after check-out time. The towel is changed everyday. The breakfast is good with bread, fruit jam, tea, milk, and specially is fruit :). The staffs are also so nice and helpful. This hostel is so near 7-elevent, Changdeokgung Palace, Ikseondong, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Gwangjang market... A perfect place to choose!

- Receptionist is not good, I were waiting for a long time to get information about my room number. - The room is small 😔

The owner, Min, let me check in earlier (thank you!). And it was my 5th times here!! Looking forward for next year’s trip back to Seoul. Everything is good, location near Hyehwa st exit 4. The staffs are friendly!

Location was great. Breakfast is very light (just bread, coffee and boiled egg everyday). There was no common kitchen area where you can cook. All hostels I've been to in Seoul offer pocket wifi for rent, buy this one does not.

I had a long stay but it was nice and the staff are so helpful. Thanks :)

The hotel is located near a subway station (Jongno 3(sam)-ga) so it is very convenient to move around Seoul. It is almost just a straight walk to the station and you can get there in a few minutes. Around the area likewise are some nice, cozy restaurants. Some convenience stores are also located nearby so quick and easy to get food. Although you would not get the luxury of a 4 or 5-star hotel, at this price range, it would do nicely for a temporary stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean with the standard TV, ref, aircon, toiletries (no toothbrush and toothpaste though), and a fast free WiFi. The floors even have heating which is important during the cold seasons. My only issue though is that there is no separate shower area within the toilet. You need to do all your bath and toilet needs in one small cubicle. But you can get by anyway, just needs a little adjustment from what you are used to. Breakfast is free but the food choices are not that wide though. You get the usual toasted bread, some muffins, boiled egg, assorted cereals, coffee, juice, and milk. Again not complaining. You get what you pay for I guess. But what impressed me the most was the service. Kudos especially to the front desk who was really helpful to guests especially to first timers in Korea. I was looking for some item and he went out of his way to search, explain, and even show me the map where to go. Great service I would say! Overall, great stay at Hotel Icon. Would definitely choose it again should there be a chance to visit Korea once more.
