I recently embarked on a month-long trip to Seoul, drawn by the opportunity to watch my favorite South Korean actor, Kim Seon Ho, perform in a theater play. My accommodation at Benikea Noble Hotel proved to be an essential part of my unforgettable experience. Exceptional Hospitality: Mr. Brad Lee (Lee Junyeol), the General Manager, and his staff set the standard for exceptional hospitality. Their dedication and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that my stay was nothing short of exceptional. From offering assistance to anticipating my needs, they truly made me feel valued as a guest. Prime Location: The hotel's proximity to key attractions made exploring Seoul a breeze. A mere 3-minute walk led me to the bus stop, providing easy access to popular tourist spots. Within a 7-minute stroll lies Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, a charming area teeming with restaurants and cafes. En route, I discovered numerous local eateries and picturesque coffee shops. Additionally, Changdeokgung Palace stood just across the street, while Bukchon Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace were easily reachable by bus, taxi, or a leisurely walk. With taxis being affordably priced in Seoul, getting around was convenient and budget-friendly. Impeccable Cleanliness and Amenities: The hotel's commitment to cleanliness was evident in every aspect of my stay. The rooms were immaculate, and the state-of-the-art bathrooms featured heated bidets with convenient touch-button controls. The courteous housekeeping staff ensured that every detail was attended to, while the well-stocked refrigerator offered a selection of water, tea, and coffee. Superb Value for Money: In my experience, Benikea Noble Hotel stands out as the best inexpensive hotel in Seoul. Despite its affordability, it offers unparalleled service and hospitality, making it a true gem in the bustling city.

Nothing.. There was nothing that I did not like. In conclusion, my stay at Benikea Noble Hotel surpassed all expectations, thanks to its exceptional service, prime location, and immaculate facilities. I am immensely grateful to Mr. Brad Lee and his dedicated team for their outstanding efforts in ensuring a memorable experience. The convenience store located just outside the hotel, open 24/7, further added to the overall convenience and comfort of my stay. Without a doubt, I eagerly anticipate returning to this remarkable hotel on my future visits to Seoul. See you all again, Ahjussi! You are the Best!

The hotel is close to bus stops and a few minutes to Angkuk metro station. It is accessible from Seoul bus transfer centre and two bus rides to Dondaemun H&C Centre. It is also close to a few places to eat, serving IMO authentic Korean dishes (yummy!) with lots of side dishes. I was able to check-in earlier than stated chk-in time.

The room is quite small, nowhere to put the luggage. The bathroom is ok. I was not able to leave my luggage for one day while I'm in Busan for free because they don't have a storage room. The cost to leave one lugggage is W10,000.

The location is great, just a few minutes walking from the Joseon Palaces, and near many nice cafes, restaurants, and bars. The neighboordhood has many examples of very nice and quaint traditional architecture. There's also a jazz club (Chunnyun) nearby. The staff tries to be helpful. The room is clean.

The bathtub/shower seemed to be built to direct the water toward the bathroom floor, which doesn't seem to be a very smart design choice to me. The check-in/checkout time (15:00 and 12:00) are to be strictly and blindly obeyed, which again sounds a bit silly to me when there are rooms available.

The hotel was very well located and easily accessible by bus. It is surrounded by some of the key streets and parts of Seoul. You'll enjoy going anywhere you want at any moment. Also, the staff was very friendly and always available 24/24. The room was quiet and isolated from any noise coming from outside of it. The bed was very comforting and the facilities are great. There's also a desktop computer in the room which is so cool in case someone has no access to a PC, and the WIFI is good as well.

I think it's something in the process to be fixed, but some parts in the bathroom's corners have mold in them. I am sure that the hotel is taking care of them, and if not, I guess my note will be a way of informing them about this issue which is not big but treating it early would prevent something bigger later on. As for the Wi-Fi, for some weird reason, I couldn't find the one of my room with its number, so I had to connect to another room's. I wanted to inform the employees about it but it was a very short stay anyway so I barely stayed in the hotel.

Perfect location, a few steps from the hot trend cafes in Ikseondong. Quiet and next to subway station. Direct bus stop to airport right opposite.

Shower water is a bit weak

Super clean. Very close to bus station and subway. There is a convenience store a few feet away from the main entrance. There are coffee shops and restaurants nearby. 7-minute walk to Ikseondong Hanok Village. And there are plenty of restaurants and pojang macha (red food tents) in Ikseondong. The front desk people are very helpful and are English speakers. They are very polite, and very very helpful in so many ways. They also accepted my packages that I ordered online. This is the best budget friendly hotel I have ever stayed at in Seoul by far. THE BEST!

Nothing..

Location was great. Also value-for-money. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful.

Upon check-in, found out that the air conditioner/heater is not available for this period. For ventilation, I had to open the window for some airflow. A notice was pasted in the elevator to say "Due to seasonal reason, air conditioner may not be available for the heating of the room" (from 10 Oct 2023 to 10 April 2024). During my hotel stay, there was some construction going on next door to the hotel, starting from rather early morning. It was quite noisy at times as I couldn't close the window otherwise it would be very stuffy in the room. Guess this is an unfortunate one-off episode, but otherwise everything is fine.

Very friendly staff, able to assist with booking tours of the dmz. The staff are very fluent in English, which made it very easy for a first time traveller to korea. They were able to provide a very flexible check in time, result from delays in flight. Overall would rate them extremely helpful!

The in the double room was a little hard. However, the rest of the bedding was very comfortable

The location is very convenient. It is just opposite to the airport bus stop and Changdeokgung. Convenient store is juat about 100 m in front of the hotel entrance. Anguk Station is about 400 m by foot. There're also plenty of eateries at the vicinity. We're able to walk to Ikseon-dong, Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon from here. The bed is comfortable. The premises is old but clean.

The bathroom light is too dim..

The receptionist was amazing! He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we find the right bus stop to the Airport, explained taxi prices, went to the nearby shop to make sure we can use our cashbee card on the bus instead of the usual t-money, offered to walk US to the bus stop with an umbrella.... Really, this is an amazing person that deserves a raise. The location of the hotel is amazing. Palace is right outside and the one ther attractions are usually with 10-25 minute walking distance. Due to over booking one of our party war upgraded to VIP Room as well. Beds are wide and comfy

Ther is no iron to lend on the hotel, apparently.
