Find hotels near Gwanak in Seoul, South Korea

This was a very impressive hotel that I stayed in. Karashy has been nothing less than perfect. I loved the room and the whole feel of the hotel. Stepping into this hotel when I first arrived, the atmosphere was comfortable and sleek. Room was very very spacious and comfortable. Love the in-room jacuzzi and the bath tub, of course together with the view. Around the hotel there are loads of food places to have traditional korean food. Best part is, this is in a quieter part of Seoul and that it is just right beside Sadang station. 20 minutes direct train ride to Myeongdong and situated very conveniently to Dongdaemun or Hongdae. I will definitely want to come back to this hotel to stay and I would recommend this hotel to anyone anytime!

Exceptional levels of service from staff! They kindly helped me get my document that I needed to use during my stay. I really am grateful :) They can speak English well so there's no problem with communication. They also greeted me hello with polite manners every time I went in or out. As for transportation, it took me around 2 hours from Incheon airport to the hotel using only subway, and the hotel is very close to Sillim station (Exit 6), so it's really convenient. The hotel is near a minimart, a drug store, as well as other shops. There are also a lot of delicious street food nearby the hotel at night! The room is exactly as in the photos. It is spacious and affordable, compared with other hotels downtown, clean as it was cleaned every day, surprisingly quiet even it's in noisy vicinity, and well equipped albeit that I couldn't eat in my room as it's not allowed. Overall, it's been an impressive experience and it is beyond my expectation. Keep up with this exceptional service :)

I chose here only because I needed to be in the area. It isn't the best-located (for tourists), although close to subway, or the cheapest. And make no mistake, it is one of the many love-motels in Seoul. But having said that, there's nothing wrong in staying in one as they are usually quite comfortable & good value for money. Room was clean & decent, with a big TV & a PC for surfing. Though it felt awkward going in/out of a love motel as a solo female traveller, I didn't felt that my safety was compromised as this was just behind the main road, easily accessible. The bonus was free ice-cream at the mini pantry on reception level. An option only for those who need to be in the area of Gwanak / Seoul Nat'l University. Else, you're better off choosing a place in the more popular tourist areas for convenience.

Overall I say I got a OK price for the facilities. Location on the green line means you can get to other areas fairly easily. I was pretty happy with the hotel. But if you're not familiar with what I love Motel is you might be a little surprised. Generally in Korea everyone lives with their parents until they're married so to have copulation to have to go to hotel. This spawns a giant industry of Love motels. Which helps keeps hotel prices down in Korea. But these hotels are definitely a little cheesy and designed for these purposes. The only con is that the picture that they showed on Agoda and the hotel room I got we're definitely not the same at all. So I felt a little bit like tricked.

our group of 4 had 2 rooms, and spent almost 2 weeks at the fox. it was near my son's apartment, very close to the subway, and was the only hotel i could find online in gwanak area. we got deluxe rooms, which are a bit larger. the rooms included huge flat screen tvs, desktop computer, jacuzzi tub, slippers, robes, and a fridge. the kitchen / lounge area, next to the front desk, had free icecream, beverages, and packages of noodles. there was a small stove and toaster available for use. the owner looked after us, and even hailed a cab for us in the pouring rain at 6 am. it felt like a home away from home.
