The rooms are small but very functional. Once you get last that, the location is convenient and the staff is very helpful. The lack of window may throw people off, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Specially after a tiring day out!

We had a no window room. Walls are paper thin; we could hear 2 neighbours very clearly, would have been 3 if we weren’t on a corner room. Extremely small room, our luggage took up half of the floor space. Beds were pretty bad, you can hear the springs as you move around for example. Hot and not enough air movement; we had an AC unit we had to always have on and it was hard to control temperature. Shower curtain was dirty with mold; couldn’t find a replacement as it was self cleaning service. We just didn’t use or touch the curtain. Shower temperature really hard to control, 1cm to far and it was cold or boiling. Free laundry which was awesome, but only 1 washer and dryer; got lucky since no one was using it when we did. Location was great; close to great restaurants, convenience store, all transportation. Self service station was close and convenient; like towels, garbage/recycling, etc. Lounge was decent; clean water dispenser, plenty of seating, microwave. Wifi was good. Stayed as a couple the access card has to be inserted in a slot when you enter the room to turn all power on, subsequently turned all power off when removed; was inconvenient when one person wanted to leave/stay. Overall it was ok, but wish we did more research before booking, no refunds.

For starter, this is more like a guesthouse than a hotel. You have to change towel yourself etc. However, there is room service, which you have to request physically at the lobby. Wall is thin, like if you have sex, people could literally hear outside the door. But once you inside, you can't really hear outside. Room is quite big for the price I paid, with mini fridge and decent space to pack my luggage. Location wise, it's 5 min walk near City Hall (green line) and Hoehyeon (Light Blue Line). About 10 mins walk to Myeongdong via above ground or fully sheltered. Also about 15-20 mins walk from Seoul Station, so I recommend you to walk here if you coming from there. You will walk pass Seoullo and Namdaemun Market. Food wise is good, there's a popular jap ramen stall just outside the building. Also a 24 hours must try kimchi soup place within 5 mins walk. Past night to about 1-2am, there will be lost of street vendors selling good BBQ food, also must try.

We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Finding the hotel with Naver was easy. Just make sure to look for Irene City Hotel and not Irene Hotel. The check-in was a bit confusing. When we got there, there was no one at the front desk. However, there were 2 room cards that we tried and managed to find our room on our own. The room was perfect if you plan to use it to keep your luggage, get ready to spend the day outside, and sleep. The only thing we struggled a bit with was communication. The front desk was always empty except when we went to check out at 11 am. And when contacting the property via chat through Expedia a day before our arrival and during our time there we didn't receive a reply. This is important if you do not have a phone line service to contact the number provided. Overall it was very convenient location-wise and provided everything we needed during our stay.

The hotel is well-located, easy to find, and clean. Items like towels, toilet paper, and toothpaste are easy to find without needing to contact the front desk. It's a good palce to stay.

8年ぶり4回目のホテル滞在です!!仁川空港からの 高速バス停フェヨン駅(南大門入り口)からの 歩いて300m以内、ホテル近くには食事処が沢山あります。 ホテルビルの2件横は、韓国コンビニがあり 日本人観光客が少なく、韓国人が普通に食事して居るので、明洞、南大門より格安で食事できます。 バスタブもあり、お湯を溜めてゆっくりできますが 壁は薄いです!!笑 今回3泊のうち、1日だけ隣にタイ人子供連れの  子供がギャーギャーうるさかったですが ホテル料金の安さ、利便性、清潔さを考えたら 許せる半位ですね〜! 南大門まで歩いて2、3分、明洞まで5、6分 1日に何度でもホテルに帰って一休みできますよね また、このホテルを利用します。

入口がわからなくて、彷徨ったけど住所を頼りになんとか辿り着けた時にはホッとした! スタッフは無口でバスタオルの場所がわからないなどちょっと不慣れな感じたったので、「普通」の評価です。でも質問すれば答えてくれます! 周りはレストランも沢山あって、明洞まで歩いて行ける距離なので、立地は最高でした♪

価格が安いのでそうなのですが、タオルは共有スペースに置いていて、自分で変える感じで、ごみも自分で捨てるシステムです。 シャワーはカーテンなかったものの浴槽タイプでしたので床ビチョビチョ状態にはならなかったです。 最初入口見つけるのが難しかったですが、すぐ慣れました。 最後の日もチェックアウトはフロントの人がいなくても、カードキーを箱にいれておけばいいだけでした。
