Centermark Hotel Seoul

This hotel boasts an exceptional location, arguably offering the best value for money in Seoul. It's an ideal choice for first-time travelers seeking convenience and comfort. The staff, particularly at the reception, are incredibly accommodating. They proactively organized an early check-in for me at 11 a.m., at no extra charge, without any prior request, which was greatly appreciated. The room I stayed in was both cozy and tranquil, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul.

The staff were lovely and the rooms were consistently clean (my particular thanks to the gentleman at the front desk whose name tag read "Patrick" and the lady whose name I didn't catch that cleaned the sixth floor). The hotel has a laundry service but there are also self-service machines in the basement for those who prefer to use them (3000 won for washing and 2000 won for the dryer at the time of writing). The toiletries left in the room (toothbrush, toothpaste, hair ties, etc.) were very useful. The hotel is centrally located, only a couple of minutes walk to the nearest train station (Jonggak). Naver Maps will tell you to use Exit 3-1 but the lifts are at Exit 3 next to Olive Young when you have suitcases. It's a safe area and there is a supermarket, two convenience stores, some restaurants, a museum, an art gallery and a police station within a hundred metres of the building entrance.

Location was excellent, I've been to other areas before but this was the most convenient place. Hotel is close to buses and trains, walking distance to lots of attractions and eating places. All staffs had been very helpful and very kind.

1) Perfect cost-to-quality ratio, this is one of the best hotel living experiences for us 2) Location is very good, both close to the historical sights and modern districts with malls and shop 3) Amazing staff, very polite and friendly. They helped us with luggage storage after we checked out and always gives us umbrellas when it was raining 4) Very clean rooms, everyday cleaning 5) There is a free small gym and cheap laundry room inside the basement floor 6) Good cafe and a couple of restaurants 7) Place was quiet

I would score it an 8.5. Location is very convenient to attractions, F&B outlets and transport. Staff spoke English which made it easy to communicate. I happened to stay twice in this hotel. The first room was in a better condition than the second. Second one had a lingering smoke smell. The staff was apologetic and tried to freshen up the air but could not completely eradicate the smell. Both were facing the police station which was fine. Beds were quite firm but pillows were abit too thin for my liking. For the price point, i admit it is pretty good value. Hard to find a decent hotel in a centralised location especially when the price is low.
