Glue Hotel

Location - it is in a "quieter" area of Seoul, but given that it is a busy city you will still hear noise from cars. There were numerous bus stations around which was fantastic. The metro station is a little bit further, but the path is relatively even, so very doable with luggage. Its closeness to the palaces (30 min walk) is also really good as it allowed me to get to know Seoul slowly and by foot in the first half day of being there.

The staff was very nice and after we had some issues with the safe, they were able to fix it within a day. The rooms were cleaned and we got free water each day. The location is ideal to basically visit all of Seoul. You can reach the palaces within a 15-30 minute walk and three subway stations within a 15 minute walk. There is a 711 close by and many bus stations. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again.

The hotel was great, well connected and yet just slightly outside the hustle and bustle so you get some quiet. The view from our room wa fantastic, especially at night. I will say thought that if you are carrying luggage, the hotel is a little far from the nearest subway station (roughly ten to fifteen minute walk which can be difficult if it’s hot or raining and you’re dragging luggage behind you), so recommended to take the bus from the subway to the hotel. The hotel decor was a cool 00s hipster inspired vibe which I thought was a nice touch. Some design elements seemed incomplete to me like the shower having a small gap at the bottom such that water would easily overrun the stall and wet the floor outside the shower, but that’s just a small pet peeve of mine that’s all. I have to say though, very very big fan of the bidet setup on the toilet, highlight of every morning honestly. I am genuinely thinking of investing in one for my own toilet at home hehe. Anyway, would definitely recommend this hotel!!

Staff is very welcoming and friendly, always happy to help us and support. The hotel is located in 15-minutes walk from Jongno5(o)ga station, and 10-minutes walk from Dongdaemun station, which are fine routes and easy to reach with suitcases. In the close proximity to the hotel you can find coffee shops (turn to the right- you can see COFFEEBAY, really nice atmosphere and great coffee; on the left from hotel is Starbucks), local restaurants and Olive Young. Also hotel is well located regarding the bus transportation, bus stops are just nearby. You can also explore a very nice village across the hotel. The style of hotel is quite unique and charming, and having the bar at B1 floor makes the stay very special. The room was very cozy, and the bed was really soft - exactly what we needed after long days of walk. Also the room had big windows, you can enjoy the views of Seoul.

The beds were some of the most comfortable we have ever slept in! They are king singles, so very roomy. The air con was great and conveniently placed between the beds so that we could turn it on when we got too hot in the middle of the night. There were lots of lighting options also. Everything was very clean and modern and comfortable. Convenient location: Myeongdong is a 20 min bus ride and there are lots of bus stops close by.
