Chodang-dong
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (45 reviews)
"This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel and it was decent enough for my two night stay. It was clean and tidy which is the main thing, and was in very close proximity to the beach! The capsule actually has a good amount of room but the mattress is very thin. If you are not used to a firm bed or mattress then you might struggle with getting comfy, but its manageable for a couple of nights. There were two bathrooms in the women's dorm and I never had issues using them whenever I needed...

"We really enjoyed the stay that was truly a calming one. It was exactly as per the pictures, clean and with a great view from our room! Staff were also friendly and kind, despite a slight language barrier as we did not speak much korean. There are cafes and eateries in walking distance too. Highly recommend this place to those who are looking for a respite from busy city life and need a refreshing rest. "
