We had a lovely stay, however, we've been sent to a different hotel on the first night due to booking the hotel via hotels.com. The receptionist insisted that we are not booked in their system, and therefore, was sent over to a much uglier and uncomfortable hotel nearby. This disrupted our first sightseeing day as we had to pack our luggage again to transfer back to Hotel Icon. They also provided the same breakfast every single morning (toasted bread, jam, coffee, cereals, muffin, orange juice)

+ sehr gute Ausgangslage für alle Aktivitäten ( U-Bahnhof Jongno 3(sam)-ga ) in Reichweite.
+ Convenience Stores in Reichweite
+ sehr günstiger Preis ( ca. 30€ DZ/Nacht )
+ viel Streetfood, Unterhaltung und Restaurants in Reichweite.
( das Viertel ist nicht unbedingt etwas für Familien )
- die Bilder im Internet ( z.B. Dachterasse, Zustand der Zimmer )
sind von einem Profi Fotografen mit Nachbearbeitung ) erstellt
worden. ( 2019 - Wartungsstau ? )
- 24h Rezeption = eine aufgestellte Webcam mit der man sich
unterhalten kann . evt. meldet sich auch jemand.
- nicht einfach zu finden. Mit Free Wifi und guter Vorplanung
aber zu finden .
Frühstück ist nicht zu bewerten. Bei dem Preis geht einfach
nichts mehr. Wenig Sitzplätze , Tetra Pack mit Saft & Milch.
Kaffee ähnliches Getränk. Toast mit Marmelade - Fertig
Jongno-gu = die ursprüngliche „Altstadt“
Quelques petits points à régler comme les toilettes qui bougent énormément lorsque vous vous asseyez. La moisissure dans la salle de bain et le drap beaucoup trop petit pour le lit qui est en fait... 2 lits assemblés avec le montant au milieu.
Location is prefect, easy to find food and subway station is very near , room is very clean and they provide room service every day. Overall very satisfied with Hotel Icon
Das Frühstück ist recht spartanisch (Toast, Butter, Marmelade, Muffin, gekochtes) und jeden Tag identisch.
Es gab im Bad keine Duschkabine, der Duschkopf war am Handwaschbecken angebracht. D.h. bei Duschen setzt man das ganze Bad unter Wasser. Das ist ungewohnt, man muss sich dran gewöhnen und verschiedene Dinge zeitlich organisieren.
Excellent subway station nearby, just use exit 6 of Jong ro3 station since the hotel is tucked in an alley and there are swarms of alleys in the area or the first time will be so hard to find even locals have a hard time helping with directions here while map apps will have you walking in circles. On the other hand, these awesome alleys are filled with crowded, authentic, charming eateries where natives are socializing until late so it is great to get away from the commercialized tourist zones and see a bit of what the locals do here at night.

가격대비 괜찮아요.. 방음이 문제가 좀 되지만 잠 자는데는 별 지장 없어요~ 물도 빵빵하니 좋아요.. 욕조가 없어 좀 아쉬웠지만..
Two of us stayed in a room with 1 double bed and 1 single bed for 4 nights at end of October 2018. I would highly recommend this hotel for the elevator facility and the locality within 10 minutes walk to food and subway station at budget hotel price. The one thing it can improve on is the hot water shower. It is not consistent and you get surprises as it can become too hot or too cold intermittently.
The staff went out of his way to help me get a last min ticket for a musical.

This hotel was basic, but very clean and friendly. It was in a wonderful area - close to the shopping and arts area, and also within walking distance of palaces.

Kein luxus-hotel, aber zweckmäßig!
Für das geld ist die unterkunft echt in Ordnung. Frühstück ist etwas spartanisch und nicht besonders abwechslungsreich. Die dusche war auch etwas komisch, da es nur einen duschkopf gab und man sich neben dem klo stehend und den duschkopf haltend duschen musste. Personal war super nett und hat einem viel weitergeholfen.
The hotel is in a much more traditional area which is a good location but can be hard to navigate walking around sometimes. Very small rooms with fairly uncomfortable beds, but good value for the price. Nice it included a free breakfast.
