Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

This hotel is located in an excellent spot for shopping, dining, and nightlife, with Itaewon's vibrant scene just around the corner. The friendly staff ensures a pleasant stay, and the clean and spacious rooms are a plus. Additionally, public transportation, including the subway, is conveniently located nearby.

Occasional noise from local nightlife mentioned by some guests, but rooms are generally clean and spacious. Slight improvement suggested for room cleanliness.

    Stayed 1 night in April 2026

    “I want to stay again.”

    First, when I checked in at the front desk, the male staff were very friendly and even used some Japanese. When I entered the room, it was very clean, spacious, and the toilet was nice with a bathtub. The floor didn't get wet, and there were convenient power outlets. The noise mentioned in other reviews was something I was aware of when I made the reservation, so when I used earplugs, it was hardly bothersome and didn't affect my sleep. It's right in front of Itaewon Station, with a bus stop nearby, making it easy to go anywhere. I would like to stay here again.

    “Best place to stay in Seoul”

    This is my 3rd time staying at Hamilton hotel and I chose a Deluxe room for this trip. The room is so spacious that I can place my 2 large suitcases anywhere in the room and still walk around freely. The cleaning ladies are super sweet and friendly. The room and restroom are neatly cleaned every day. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Not only because the hotel is located next to the subway, but also in a nice area with good places to eat. If you enjoy nightlife, this is the hotel for you. However, if you're a light sleeper and sensitive to noise, do request a higher room floor. It might get a bit noisy from the clubs downstairs. But the hotel is kind enough to support us with ear plugs that work wonders! I didn't have any sleeping problems the whole time I stayed at this hotel. Will be back for sure.

    The accommodation was convenient for transportation, and we used it with our kids since free parking was available for guests. The service was straightforward and clean, and the room was also clean. I don't know much about other facilities since we didn't use them, but it was a good value for money.

    “The equipment and staff are satisfactory.”

    I stayed in a twin room for 3 nights. It was nice to have a bathtub and enough space to open two suitcases, but the only downside was that the shops around were open until the early morning, which was noisy. (Earplugs are placed in the room.) It was convenient as it was located in front of Itaewon Station.

    “A hotel with excellent location!”

    Right in front of Itaewon Station on Subway Line 6‼︎ There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores, making it extremely convenient. There's an Olive Young next door, and if you walk a bit, there's also a DAISO. You won't have trouble finding cafes either. Even on weekdays, the heavy bass from clubs resonates until the morning, but if you use the earplugs provided in the room, you can sleep soundly. The staff's response was good, and the rooms were clean, making this hotel highly recommended. This hotel has an excellent location! It was my second visit, and it is definitely still one of my favorite hotels‼︎ I plan to visit Korea again this autumn, so I would like to use your services then as well. Thank you for taking care of me during my 3-night, 4-day stay.
