Hamilton Hotel

The hotel itself is average, maybe 2.5 to 3 stars. It is older and in need of renovation. The staff are helpful and do the best they can with what they have. The issue is the location and the noise. The description says it is in the Itaewon Station area. It is directly across the street from Itaewon Station, and surrounded by night clubs and bars. I arrived on a Thursday evening and the clubs were just starting. There is apparently a club on the second floor because when the elevator passes they floor, the noise of the music becomes deafening. I had a room on the back side at first, the room was tiny and loud. I upgraded to a larger room on the front side. The room was decent size, but the noise even worse. Music thumping, cars honking, police sirens, drunk people shouting, street musicians, etc. It finally quieted down about 6am. I did not sleep at all. And Friday night even worse. On top of that, there was no control of the heat (winter), which was set at about 30c, which meant having to open the window or swelter. The best the staff could do was a fan! I left at 4am Saturday morning. The front desk person processed a refund for my remaining stay, which was probably the best thing that I can say about this place. Unless you are in your 20s and want to party all night, AVOID THIS HOTEL. Try the Mondrian if you want to be in Itaewon. Quiet, much much nicer.

Nice room.

The only thing about this hotel is that sound proofing is not very good as there is night club at levels 2 and 3 at the hotel. The ear plugs provided didn’t help.

Comfortable and convenience plus the night life

Great hotel ,breakfast is good if get deal realy wort it

Room carpet was dirty. Bar soap was nor prepared. Noise from outside. Convenient location.

I really enjoyed my stay here, room is reasonably priced. I had the suite it was nice. Its noisy from the bars nearby but I seemed to pass out cold anyway for some reason. Id skip the breakfast buffet. Theres better restaurant options in walking distance

The hotel provided all the necessary ammenities and while simple, it was everything that's needed. It's nice they had built in universal plugs so I didn't have to use an adapter. The location is great - even as a solo traveller I felt safe getting to the hotel because it's straight out the subway station and a few steps to the front door. The only (and quite major) downfall is the noise. Since this hotel is surrounded by bar/clubs/restaurants which seem to be open all night, this place would be unbearable for light sleepers. On weekdays, the music would go until 4:30am and on weekends, it didn't stop until after 6:30am. I don't have much trouble sleeping so it didn't bother me too much but I did notice it. They provide complimentary earplugs but I never used them so I don't know if they would work.

The hotel was great, the location next to a metro station is fantastic for getting around. They even provided toothbrushes and a razor in the room. Only complaint is also the location with a lot of nightlife around. It can get fairly noisy into the early morning.

Clean rooms, excellent choices for eating out and easy access to transport

Wonderful area, hotel room and service were good enough. However, every night around 9-10 p.m. a bar/club right beside the hotel blasts music at max volume all night until 6 a.m. Its quite loud even with the windows closed so if you are a light sleeper stay away But if you can sleep through anything or like to party all night it is a good stay. Laundry is a paid service only and quite expensive.

The hotel and room was very clean and modern. Staff at reception desk are very friendly and helpful. Giyeon Kim's English was very good and she attempted to assist with all my questions and provided recommendations. Only reason for the 3 star review on the hotel is because of the unavoidable noise from the clubs right below/behind the hotel's party district. It is especially noisy on the weekends and goes until morning.

Very central and spacious room. The hallways felt old. Will definitely stay again when visiting Itaewon again

Central located to tourists sights, nightlife, and public transportation.

The room and staff were lovely. Disappointed that there were no vegetarian options for breakfast room service.

Very good place to stay in Itaewon. Just very loud due to proximity to clubs. The loudest club is in the building.

Nice sized room

The review points out both the helpfulness of the staff and significant noise and comfort issues experienced during the stay. - The staff were consistently good and helpful throughout the visit. - There was severe noise from club music, BAR every night, from 11:00 PM to 7:30 AM, particularly on the 8th floor at the end of the corridor. - The central air conditioning was turned off, and the heating was on, making the room uncomfortably hot. - Opening the window for fresh air allowed the loud noise to enter. - This hotel is not suitable for light sleepers or guests who require a quiet environment at night; it is better suited for those who sleep during the day. So, if you’re a night owl ( Vampire ) or prefer to sleep during daylight hours, this hotel may be a good fit for you.

Always staying in this hotel when we are in Seoul ;) Location perfect for a night out, Olive Young just next door and cafes, restaurants all nearby. For shopping, it is just a few minutes walking to Hangnandong.

The cleaning staff are wonderful. Every they great you when they see you and always attend us well. If you dont mind the music it is a very nice place to stay. It was very convenient to go anywhere. Bus train taxi or walk. Never had an issue. We will be back next year.
