Itaewon Crown Hotel

Location is great. Facilities are whatever. They have centralized AC and heat. This meaning you have no control of temp in room. If you get a deal like I did on this place, then it's not bad at all. You get what you pay for. I payed ~50 usd per night on a weekend. Plus side. Staff was great

The rooms look outdated already but clean. I would suggest a little upgrade or renovation. I chose to stay here because I had business to attend to in Itaewon, Yongsan and Gangnam. The airport bus stop is just in front of the hotel. The city bus stop is also a few steps away. Although, buses to Seoul are packed during rush hours.

I was arrived late night and have problem due to error on hotel for my booking confirmation. I booked on Agoda for Famille room but they only get reservation for standard double bed. The staff allowed us to stay one night in a room and asked us to check out and contacted Agoda. Agoda gave us for gift card for their mistake and the staff allowed us to stay at triple room for free (no extra charge) Thank you staff. Hotel is not so near to subway station, you need to walk around 10-15 mins. Many variety of halal food for Muslim is nearby the subway station.

old hotel

I have always been a fan of the Crown Hotel but it seems like your paying more for the location ( Itaewon) than the price. The hotel lobby is really nice with a coffee shop and a couple of ball rooms; but once you get to the room, it has a bit of an old appearance, in need of renovation. To sum it up, let the money you pay reflect the room appearance.

First of all, I chose this hotel because it was deceived by the advertising from Agoda 76% discount on the structure, I had booked a great hotel (Hamilton) which cost me only a little more money, but given the big discount is the 4 stars Itaewon Crown Hotel, I canceled the reservation at the Hamilton hotel (big mistake). problems, I'm not a problem person is my first negative review: 1. Metro too far from the hotel, if you have heavy luggage better a taxi. 2. Old and untreated room, a little dirty 3. they did not give me the essential services, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor etc ... just two bottles of water 4. sheets consumed with holes, even if they remade the room every day, have never changed them. 5. even the slippers were old and worn out 6. before leaving, I have written many times to get some information, if they had a gym I have a swimming pool. NEVER ANSWER 7. THE BEST negative thing. I asked to call a taxi and they said "we can only call black cabs, the expensive ones, if you

You can hear everything happening in the hall as if there isn't a door, except doors do slam sometimes and you can really hear those. The rooms don't have controllable heat, and Korea really likes to get rooms hot in the winter. When I asked for lower heat b/c I couldn't sleep, they told me my only option was to open the window...the window with heavy traffic all night.

Location is perfect,easy to go anywhere room was a bit old but still ok. One thing I was concern is I request for high floor but they gave me first floor instead so the noise from outside is a little bit annoy some times. Other than that i enjoyed the stay.

Well advance I did booked for 2 smoking room but unfortunately they gave us 1 smoking room than later the next they gave us the second smoking room but only very small room which I paid for bigger room, I think that’s not fair on the rate I paid already

10 mins walk to Itaewon area. Staff would NEVER call taxi for you. All rooms smell cigarettes. It’s NOT a nonsmoking hotel. This hotel is not worth more than $39 per night. Worse than Motel 6 in the USA. They would not loan you a power adapter. Staff is not friendly. AGAIN, DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!!!

I stayed here for 1 night with my friend. It’s close from Noksapyeong station(line 6) exit no3. And also close from Itaewon station and Itaewon’s main street. The room condition is a bit old but clean and the bed is really nice! I would like to stay again.

We stayed here as a group. Some of us live in Korea while half of our group were from out of the country. While the staff were friendly and the location was good...the Wifi was spotty at best this was very inconvenient for international travelers. We would definitely stay again if they fix the WIFI

My second visit to this hotel and although the room was a little older than the previous, it was clean and met my needs. My only complaint was I could not control the temperature in the room. It never felt too hot or too cold, but I would have like to be able to drop the temperature lower because that is how I typically sleep at home. The room was clean, had a little odor(didn't smell bad) to it, but the hotel is old, and you can expect that. Because of the proximity to the airport bus stop, subway station, local eateries and nightlife entertainment, this is my hotel of choice. It was also quiet at night, minus my room because of my room guest....sorry If you have the chance to stay here, I recommend it. I hope your stay was as pleasant as mine. See you all in a couple of months again!

I've stayed at a lot of hotels and very few of them are all round great hotels. There's usually something wrong, either unfriendly staff, or way too expensive for an old unclean room. I stayed at this hotel for 3 nightsand it was one of the best services I've received. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. They promptly changed my room when requested. When I couldn't find a taxi, a staff member walked me out and waited until I had gotten a taxi. This Hotel has great value for money. I would definitely go back and highly recommend this to anyone else.

It's so hard to find a taxi out of Itaewon on the weekend. So, when staying in Seoul, I've tried various hotels in the Itaewon area and this is the best due to the quiet location. It's out of the way from the insane noise of honking taxis and drunk revelers. Even if you happen to be one of the drunk revelers, you still may want to sleep eventually. This is my favorite hotel in Itaewon because it's peaceful and they even upgraded my room. The room was comfortable and I slept extremely well. Don't forget to bring your own toothbrush or you can buy one at the front desk. Thanks Crown Hotel!

Pricey but great location, walking distance to station & good connection to airport

Itaewon has changed so much. It is a very hip town now with loads of interesting shops besides the antiques. Loads of newer trendier shops for food, clothes, etc. If you know the short cut, it's very convenient. Front Desk were friendly enough. They even accommodated my Golden Retriever in the room. Room size not too big but adequate for 1 or 2 paxs.

Ownership needs to invest some money into renovating this dated hotel. Our room had hair on our bed and one look underneath the bed will reveal how dirty the hotel really is. There's a middle-aged man that walks around the hotel acting pompous and giving guests dirty looks. It appears he may be the owner or general manager. The way he treats guests clearly explains why his staff doesn't treat guests well either. It always starts from the top. Stay away...

Photos of the rooms look better than they appear. It's within walking distance of Itaewon's main shopping and entertainment district, but it is still a ways off. The closest metro station and convenience stores are a ways off as well. The staff did their best to give decent service, but the front desk has much to improve. The rooms are extremely outdated and dirty. I strongly recommend staying elsewhere.

I stayed at this hotel as I'd just arrived in Korea for a month and needed to meet some friends in Itaewon. It's a short walk (about 10 minutes, but hilly) to where most of the bars are, so it's convenient in that respect, but it's likely to be a nightmare if you have heavy luggage. That said, the airport bus stops directly outside of the hotel, so great if you're coming from the airport, but if you're changing location in town, I'd recommend a taxi. The hotel is pretty nice with a nice range of channels on the TV. The staff are helpful and multilingual and there is a nice coffee shop in the lobby. The wifi is fast and easy to use. The only niggle I had with this hotel is that on the weekend, the day I was checking out, they were doing a bunch of conveyor belt weddings which got in the way of guests moving luggage about and made it hard to find my taxi, more so because the wedding guests for each group were loud and obnoxious. Otherwise a great hotel.
