LEX Tourist Hotel

My room was a lot bigger than I anticipated. Besides the typical shower gel and shampoo, they also had toothbrushes, hair and skincare products available. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious. There was an airconditioning unit, a table and a desk space. While there wasn't any breakfast, there is a 24/7 convenience store right next to the hotel where I got my food and drinks. The hotel is close to 2 subway stations (Sinsa and Nonhyeon), which made it very easy for me to get around. Tip: The hotel is located above a nightclub that is open Thursday to Sunday. For this reason, I asked to be put in a room without a lot of noise. They gave me a room on the 9th floor (thank god, they have 2 elevators!). I could still feel the bass from the club at times, but considering that this hotel is located within a very busy district of the city, it was relatively quiet. However, I wouldn't recommend this hotels to light sleepers.

It would have been nice to have some closet space.

all the staff are wonderful, so friendly and so helpful ! They are the best of this hotel 🏨 their service standard is high!

the disco is under the hotel, too noisy 😓😰

The airport limousine bus line is across the street and Sinsa station is just a 5 minute walk away from the hotel, so it's easy to explore other areas from there. A convenience store (CU) is next to the entrance of the hotel. It's great, if you want to buy some drinks or snacks to have them in your room. I loved the range of skin care products in the hotel room!

Even if the hotel names itself 'Tourist Hotel' not every employee at the reception was able to speak english. The mattress was too hard for me, but I guess it's normal in South Korea. I was on the 8th floor and could feel and hear the club in the basement, but it wasn't too noisy. It's not easy to go to this club, if you're a foreigner. It's better to look for another place. I was there for three nights and the cleaning lady didn't show up once, because she just comes two times a week, if you don't ask for it. So don't expect to be welcomed by a prepared bed and fresh towels. Many people are getting some plastic surgeries there and staying in the hotel to rest. I guess that's the reason for the lack of attention in room cleaning.

I've stayed in this hotel a number of times for a number of days. Sometimes I would book directly with the hotel. Most of the time I would book one night at a time to keep my options open but ended up staying in the same hotel for my entire trip. This review will summarize my stay across those various bookings. I've enjoyed my stays here. The room is relatively large for Seoul. The bed, pillow and comforter are comfortable. I asked for a quiet room and they put me at the end of the hallway furthest from the elevators and where I only had one neighbor which was thoughtful of them and much appreciated by me. There is a table apart from the typical desk pushed against the wall with a mirror in front of you which you can use as a work-station for your laptop if you want. The internet is reliable. There was a good amount of sunlight in the room. Lots of restaurants, gyms, convenience stores, coffee shops around the hotel. The front desk staff are friendly and personable.

The walls are thin so if you get a bad neighbor who plays the tv loud or talks on the phone late at night you will hear it.

Friendly and helpful staff! smooth check-in, large room, TV, hair dryer, small fridge all there, excellent WiFi, generous supply of toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, tooth brushes etc), bath robes and slippers free of charge, very clean, excellent value for price

There is a club/bar next to the hotel which plays extremely loud music until early morning that made sleep impossible. When the hotel staff apologized in advance already at check in for the "vibrations and music", I did not expect it would actually be that loud, we finally decided to move to a different hotel, though the night club is not the hotel's fault

Close to nightlife and staff are respectful of my privacy. The shower was fantastic and the supplied hair treatment was the best I've received during a hotel stay.

The only think I really disliked was the bed was extremely hard. It felt like I was laying on a slab of concrete with just a sheet to soften the surface. I literally got bruises on my hips from laying on my side.

The location is nice, it is clean and the staff is friendly.

As mentioned in other comments there is a nightclub. It wasn't audible in our room but in the floor and elevator. If you sleep with an open window there will be noise from the street anyway. Afterall, it is located in Gangnam which maybe is not the right spot for families anyway.

The location is very accessible. Near Sinsa station, and even closer to a bus stop. There's also a convenience store on the ground floor and a Starbucks just up the road.

I stayed on a Saturday. There is a nightclub in the basement, so if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs if you stay on the weekends!

The room looked like on the photos. There was a clean and big room. The personel was really nice.

There were parties from Thursday to Sunday from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. in the club under the hotel, but it was not so bad anyway.

Good location not far away from Metro. Even the hotel is not brand new the maintenance is good. The stuff showed more friendliness compare to the hotels.

If you are on vacation with family try to avoid it during the weekend because the night club might ruin your sleep.
