"I had a great stay at Loft13 Hostel! It was an excellent value for the price. The hostel was very clean, and everything was well maintained. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I also really appreciated having access to the washer and dryer, which was so convenient during my trip. As a bonus, the city views from the windows were beautiful, especially at night. I would definitely stay here...

Lotte Hotel World

8/10 Good
"Very upscale hotel and the prices in the surrounding areas to match. If you're traveling on a budget, probably not the best area in South Korea. That said, three staff are great. Recommend buying your lotte world passes directly at the hotel if you're planning on going."
