“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.

“It might be tough for those who are sensitive.”
The clubs near Itaewon are abundant, so you can hear club music and the loud voices of young people until around 5 AM. We weren’t bothered by it at all; in fact, it made us more excited! The location is top-notch. The staff are kind. You get two free bottles of water per person. Both the lobby and rooms, as well as the water facilities, are clean. I think this hotel offers the best cost performance in South Korea as long as you're alright with the noise. Japanese is not spoken (only one staff member was fluent). I believe the complaints about noise stem from a lack of research on the part of the reviewers. Of course, it’s noisy given the location! We fell asleep right away! We appreciate the good service from the staff!!!

“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.

“If you want to enjoy the night in Itaewon, make a reservation here.”
There are swimming pools that open only in the summer, and although I used it on a holiday, the prices were reasonable, so I was satisfied. After having fun in the streets of Itaewon until dawn, I came back and used the late check-out (for a fee) service, and I was really satisfied.
