Hotel Bintang 5 Seoul Yongsan-gu

I stayed here for a night out in Seoul with a close friends from high school, and his wife meeting up in Asia. As always, when staying at the Grand Hyatt, you end up not having a “night out” but rather a “night in” because the amenities at the hotel are spectacular. The live band in the lobby bar, the pool turned into the Girbaud ice skating rink, amazingly cooked steakhouse, the indoor pool, etc etc. We had a great night, and once again, when staying at any Grand Hyatt, you never know who you’ll run into. On this occasion, we had run into solo artist/actor Mr Henry Lau, also from Super Junior, and was he was not only kind enough to take a quick photo with my friend’s wife, but I messed up the photo—and after learning I had bumbled the photo during her opportunity to meet one of her k-pop idols—was willing to take another entire series of photos. The staff ended up helping me with a medical emergency in the middle of the night and stayed very calm during the entire process. Which I will also report to the company directly. When traveling to Korea—Seoul, Jeju, etc. and anywhere abroad I often stay at the Grand Hyatt in the King Corner Suite. Such a beautiful room, but on this occasion it was just a normal King River view on 9F. A bit small for 3 people, but they made a sofa bed for me while I gave the couple the bed since I only grabbed the room for us (me) for a few hours before I head back to Wuhan—allowing my friends to enjoy the hotel to themselves after I departed. Easy checkout process for them. It was very nice. Will definitely be back. Grand Hyatt ＜3 !

Large spacious room with a modern, clean design. Facilities all of good standard and ambiance of the hotel common areas is great. Breakfast was good with both local and western options. A little walk from the nearby metro stations so consider getting a taxi or bus if you have luggage otherwise the location in itaewon has lots to do. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends visiting Seoul.

The hotel was clean, tidy and comfortable. The room was a great size and the bed was super comfy. Breakfast was great with lots of options. The metro is literally next door to the hotel and was perfect for travelling to different parts soul. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The most amazing hotel me and my wife stayed at during the last part of our trip. It was so perfect and relaxing we didnt want to leave the room. Everything including a laundry machine that was also a dryer in our room. The bidet toilet was magical. the location to youngsan station made it so easy for us to explore the city and return to our hotel with ease. The connecting casino and ipark mall was also amazing.

fantastic stay, great big and clean room. nice view of the city and even the N Seoul Tower. service was good but have to call concierge regarding clening up of room. location is slightly far from the nearest Yongsan train station (about 10mins walk). Yongsan station is connected to I'park mall which have many of the big shopping brands. overall it's worth the price that we paid for.

Great location - very close to City Hall subway station, walking distance to Namdaemun and Myeongdong and then cool nightlife scene alone the river. The roads around City Hall are close and traffic jammed due to protests on th weekend, so keep that in mind if you have to leave or arrive in a car. They don't offer free toiletries anymore, but there is a vending machine in the lobby for those extra items. The door in our room 300 was a little hard to close and you'd basically had to slam it to close it properly but the room was very clean and had good cable TV. Nice bakery cafe place in the lobby and it's right near Starbucks and across the street from an Olive Young, so there's already lots of shopping opportunities nearby.

Little bit disappointed with the promised upgrade. Turns out the room they upgraded to was smaller than the normal room. Had a few of my friends staying in the same hotel as we planned our trip together. Noticed our room at the corner was smaller and after reading the pass reviews.. it has happened before. They “upgraded” the floor but down sized the room. The photo u see is the room I stayed for 1 night (different from the website photos) before switching to another room. How unfortunate! Also I booked king sized bed but it was less than 1.7m in width. What standards are the king size bed for an international hotel brand like IHG. Having known I would have stayed at my regular hotel like the Mondrian. Facilities were basic.. service ok. But size of room for my first night was so small I couldn’t open my bag properly without blocking the walk way. Ruined my experience. Having to move in and out of my room. Only plus point is that it is a new hotel and super convenient- right beside the train station and airport bus stop. Will I come back.. not unless they promise not to mislead people.

Location was perfect at the central of the famous street...2 lift was down which was the bad side and a lot of time wasted waiting for the lift... Check in time start at 3pm which is a long wait, unlike other hotel which I stay in, when they hv room available they will let u check in earlier...this one totally follows strictly the timing.. No toothpaste or toothbrush given and extra towel request are charge at a fees (most hotel will give free).. Well.. overall not so bad, as the location was really good with many cafe and food..

The hotel was perfectly located close to the shopping district in myeongdong . The biggest perks in the bus stop right out the hotel and the train station . Also the airport bus drops and collects you right outside the hotel ! They also have a burger place next to the hotel . The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and has a e mart store on the premises . The room was big and spacious and had the cutest view of the Namson tower . Overall it was a great 6day stay and will definitely come again .

My husband and I booked this hotel on a day we checked in cause of the previous hotel we booked was horrible. Skypark hotel reviewed and confirmed my booking very quickly. The first thing I’ve noticed that it’s super clean. The room isn’t big, but enough for two adults with 2 suitcases. We had a lovely room keeper who cleaned the room every day. You can find everything you need in the room, except for a toothbrush. However, you can go to the check-in desk and buy one there. They sell other items too. Also, one of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location. Close to two subway stations and a couple of bus stations. Around you can find multiple convenient stores, coffee places, restaurants and so on. We truly loved our stay. Thanks!
