Toyoko Inn Seoul Yeongdeungpo

This hotel is amazing! We arrived very early in the morning, around 3 a.m., and were warmly greeted by the reception staff. Despite the late hour, our check-in was smooth and hassle-free. We booked two rooms for our family of four, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. Fresh towels were provided every day, which was a nice touch. The buffet breakfast was also generous, with a great selection of Korean local dishes as well as Western options. There was something for everyone, and we really enjoyed starting our mornings with breakfast at the hotel. One thing that really impressed us was the service. During check-out, we asked the reception if we could leave some of our luggage with them as we were heading to Busan for four days. To our delight, they said yes! It was especially helpful because we had booked another stay with this hotel when we returned to Seoul. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel. The location is excellent, within walking distance of two subway stations and Lotte Department Store. There are also plenty of convenience stores and local restaurants nearby, making it very convenient for travelers.

The rooms are quite small, and there is no proper cabinet or wardrobe for storing clothes, so we had to keep most of our belongings in our luggage. Another small downside is that the TV channels are mostly local Korean channels, with no Netflix or YouTube available. This wasn't a major issue for us since we spent most of our time exploring Seoul, but it would have been nice to have some streaming options to relax with after a long day.

The price was very good. I just needed a hotel in Seoul for my last night in Korea, and since my flight was scheduled for late at night, it was much cheaper to book 2 nights and leave the hotel at 7PM. It was cheaper than paying for late checkout that allowed me to stay only until 2PM...

The area is far away from anything. The metro station - Line 5 is like 10 minutes walk and is quite accessible even when you have luggage with you. However, if you need to access Line 1, is super far away. Specifically for the room, I knew that it is super small, but I was expecting it to be cleaner - there were some blood stains on the bed...

The location - near metro station

Not enough seat during breakfast - have to wait for an empty table

la posizione comoda

struttura modesta - bagno non pulito - breakfast da dimenticare - tipo una mensa..ne esci intriso di odore pesante e senza nulla di una colazione occidentale
