New building, well planned room layout, oversized windows & superb staff ”

My third time staying here. In terms of hotels in the 3.5 - 4.5 star range The Recenz is very near to the top. The information on room sqm and distance to the subway are all accurate. Size and condition of the rooms are identical to the photos on Agoda, i.e. well lit, brand new. The standard double rooms aren't huge, but spacious enough. The window takes up the length of one wall. Bathroom is big by Seoul standards with separate enclosed shower and toilet. Being so new there are definitely none of the bad odors like cigarette smoke or sewerage - one of the reasons I keep booking this hotel. Staff are all friendly, well trained and accommodating regardless of the hour. They all speak English. Highly recommend.

What a great location... The bus leaves from right in front of the hotel in either direction... ”

-great staff -great location -great rooms -great price -when in Seoul again, I will be selecting the Recenz especially owing to the helpfulness of the hotel staff -the breakfast was a bit of a compromise

Exceptional”

Everything was great except for the location. It was located a quite distance away from Dongdaemun itself so if you are looking to be closer to the central then this might not be the hotel for you. There were 2 of us with 2 big luggages and the room we booked (standard twin) wasn't spacious enough after opening up our luggages.

Very good room for an affordable price”

The room was spacious enough for me and my girlfriend, and it was very well maintained throughout our stay. The staffs are also extremely helpful and they greet you every time you walk pass. The location is okay, about 25 minutes train ride away from Myeongdong and Dongdaemun. Reach this hotel with the 6013 Airport Limousine Bus. I recommend this hotel.

Above satisfaction!”

Its a fulfilling trip and stay in The recenz hotel during our travel in South Korea. Although room is a bit small yet its clean and nice to stay with. The hotel crew are very attentative and kind to help me ordering food at late night, I forgot the name but I can’t forget how kind she is. Appreciate your kindness, thank you so much!

Excellent”

Good service, love the modern facilities, clean, with good breakfast and location near subway. quite far from myeong dong (city center) though you can just take subway which is just near hotel. Can only charge gadgets with korea’s power outlet. Need to buy travel adapter outside. overall stay in Recenz is very good!

Simple and comfy”

It's a beautiful hotel with friendly staff, a clean room, and an amazing shower, honestly. (My favorite part!) In my opinion, it's in a pretty chill area of Seoul, not much happens, but there's a subway entrance not five minutes down the street. Seoul's subway is incredibly reliable and fast, so this hotel is great if you're looking to relax after a day/night of exploring/partying. Will most likely stay here when I go back to Seoul!

Great! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

I have been travelling for a while now and I must say this is one of the best budget hotel I have checked in. Staffs are very accommodating and I must really comment with Ms. Park So Yeon. She is attentive and can speak English very well. She is always smiling, greeting and very nice to us. The room is quite small but enough for 2 persons. However though even if they are fixing the bed, I don't they are changing the bed sheets and pillow case on a daily basis. Also, I like the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Usually it is sticky and makes my skin dry but theirs was OK. This hotel is also near Janghanpyeong station, about 5 minutes walk. There are also nearby convenience store (CU) and restaurants (but the one near the hotel, I don't think they speak English). Overall, our stay was great. The price is reasonable. Staffs are nice. Near subway. The room is clean and well maintained. I would definitely book this when I return to Korea and even recommend to my friends.

Budget hotel with helpful staff”

I booked this hotel based on its low price among all 4-star hotels in Seoul. The staff is very helpful and the breakfast is just acceptable based on the price. Please be aware this hotel is very far away from the ICN airport and is about 20 mins away from the city centre. The room itself is clean and everything is well functioning. I stay on level 14 and it was quiet outside.

Reasonable price and clean hotel”

The room was clean. Staffs are very nice. Although this hotel is a bit far from the Seoul station, the price and quality of this hotel is reasonable and good. It is so close, just 2 mins walk to metro.

Spacious Room & Lovely Staff”

The hotel is near to a station but in my opinion, it is a little far from the main shopping area. The room i booked, one bedroom suite, however was very big! The staff was really nice too as they often helped my to call a taxi to pick us up from the hotel lobby. Overall i had a delightful stay over at The Recenz. 😊

nice hotel”

i'm here for 5 days 4 night and its been a nice experience stayed in this hotel, the staff is really nice and polite, around 200m from subway line 5, since i know seoul a bit so it doesnt matter for me stays not into the cbd area, i got high floor and the view is good,there's a minimarket near the hotel, also lotteria if you walk from the subway. my next trip i will book this hotel again😊

Thumbs Up”

I travelled with my family with young & teen children’s together with my mom. Hotel is new just operated for 6 months. It is a good location if you wish to stay out skirt of Dongdaemun, quiet district. Near to subway convenient store & fast food restaurant is walking distance. I would come again to stay here for my next visit.

It was excellent choice for me and you can have.”

I am Korean woman who is 23 years old. Few days ago, I visited here with my boyfriend. We had satisfactional experience in this hotel. The room was really clean and tidy. The view was also great. Amenity was useful and wonderful. I really wanna visit here again and recommend to you. One of the most improtant things for me is cost-effectiveness. I can say to you that It is worth more than double of their price.

Clean hotel worth what you paid for”

this hotel is not central in location but it is walking distance to the subway station so going to other places is not a problem. Easy to check in and out. Rooms are way better than the ones downtown at the same price point. The only downside is the compartmentalized toilet and bath and wash area. One door is enough for that. but over all it is still a good place to stay in and would recommend to anyone who doesnt mind travelling outside the center

Good location and off the normal traveler beaten path. Good place to see the real Seoul”

This area is not known for being a tourist mecca necessarily, however I found the staff to be delightful and extremely helpful. Very understanding towards myself as a non-Korean speaker. The 5 train line is just around the corner and there are plenty of Korean and western shops in the area. I didn't try the resteraunt but it seemed to be popular. Western food is an easy mile walk away and a good way to burn calories before eating. Lotteria is also very nearby if you want to try Korean versions of western staples, with a spicy chicken sandwich that will slay your taste buds. The rooms are modern and very similar to something you would see in a hotel in Japan, while still being very spacious. A little Korean helps here, but isn't absolutely neceasary. Will stay again.

Good hotel”

This hotel is only around 2 minutes walk from subway which is convenient. The staff of the hotel is friendly and kind to help us when we need assistance. The breakfast is good but there is almost no change for breakfast choices. I only hope that the hotel can make the breakfast voucher faster as we need to wait in the lobby for around 15-20 minutes before we can go to our room. Overall, it is good hotel to stay.

Basic no frills but adequate for a couple of nights”

This is a very simple hotel that has nothing in particular to wow over. The standard double room I stayed in was small. There is very little space even though the only furniture that takes up floor space is the bed. The bathroom is clean enough for me but not for my wife. The water drainage for the shower was not working too well so there is a small pool in the shower stall if the shower was running at full strength. Overall the room was decent for a couple of nights to just wash up and sleep. Not a place to sit around and hang out. It was worth the money though as I managed to get the room for about $35 per night. Anything more, I think it would be better to look elsewhere. The hotel is very near to a subway station but any tourist attractions are at least 20-30 minutes away by the subway. It is surely not walking distance from Dongdaemun so don't book this place thinking it is near. It is a marketing gimmick to add that to the name

Great place for people that don’t want to spend a lot”

Pros: - Courteous staff - Very good place if you need a hotel that just offers a nice and comfortable place to sleep - Very near a convenience store, and roughly a 3 - 5 minute walk to the subway - There are nearby places to eat if you’re coming back from a lot of out-of-area travelling Cons: - Hotel of choice for tours it seems. Breakfast can get pretty rowdy and crowded pretty fast - Very limited breakfast selection. They mix it up a little, but if you want a hearty breakfast, this is not the place for it - Walls are thinner than expected so you hear your neighbors if they’re too loud. But moderate sounds (e.g., using a blow dryer on high) don’t penetrate the walls. -

Nice Stay in Seoul”

Recenz offers a comfortable stay. It's neat and clean. Breakfast could have been better if they provide butter as well. It's a short walk from the nearest Janhanpyeong Station (walk straight from Exit1). Overall value for money.
