Hotel Elephant

Hotel is in a great location, close to shopping and transportation (subway and bus lines). It’s a little difficult to find, as it’s in an alley off of Galaxy street of Gourmet, across from Lenith Hotel, but basically behind Lotte Dept. The closest subway is Soemyeong stn, which you can get to by transferring on airport line to Sasang, then Soemyeong. The hotel is generally unmanned, so you need to get the hotel entry code from the hotel before you arrive, as well as the hotel room #, since the owner will leave the keys on the desk for you to pickup directly. The room itself is quite spacious, especially the double rooms which have 2 queen sized bed. Lots of amenities, especially water bottles provided, and bathroom is quite large, although the shower takes quite awhile to heat up. It’s basic but more than adequate for a comfortable stay in a great location.

This was such a cozy and quiet place. The location was really great, too… food and shopping near by, plus near buses and the subway. I extended my stay one night and would have longer if the room had been available. I would stay here again.

Excellent warm welcome, cute, cosy, very clean, quirky, superb shower and bathroom, comfortable bed. If you want luxury look elsewhere, if you want warm, quiet and cosy this is the place. Plenty of food and drink places very close by including coffee/takeaway breakfast options.
