Guest Reviews
- HYE (10/5): - Friendly staff
- Ana (10/5): 10/10 - The hotel was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and they give you complimentary water each day which is a nice touch. It’s about a 25 minute walk to myeongdong and there’s a subway station nearby. I would definitely stay again!
- Ricky (10/5): - The hotel is conveniently located to the metro station and has good convenience store nearby. The staff are helpful and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
- Isabelita (8/5): - Great service!
- Insook (8/5): - Floor cleaning deeded
- Dohyun (2/5): - 사장이 주차해야해서 주차가 불가하답니다
- Takeshi (8/5): - エアコンがよく効く 水はけが悪かったがお湯と水の出かたは問題ない 施設の方が親切
- Insook (10/5): - Very good location and nice staff.
- Kaitlin (8/5): - We stayed here for one night after making a mistake with our flights. We preferred this area a lot more than Insadong, it was not a late night kind of area with lots of folks partying which was a lot more suitable. Some of the hotel aesthetically was outdated and needed repairs but overall did not bug us too much (stains on walls, rips in headboard etc). Staff were very friendly and spoke decent English. It's walking distance to the Subway, outlet mall and nearby fish market. I would recommend staying here for international visitors.
- Tran (10/5): - We are a family of 3 and we stayed 1 night at Acube. The hotel was conveniently located near the train station and a short walk to DDP and the malls around there. There was a local market nearby as well but we didn’t have time to check it out. Our room was comfortably for 2 adults and a toddler. We had access to the tent but unfortunately, didn’t have time to use it. The best thing about our stay was Mr Hong, he went out of his way to help us in every way possible. We really appreciated his kind and generous hospitality!
- Isai (8/5): - I like that they have the lockers for rent.
- RIKA (8/5): - チェックインの仕方難しくできず、電話をかけないといけなかった。ある程度の清潔感あり ティッシュが洗面にしかない。 ランドリールームが有料で使えて便利(洗剤は有料で必要)ただ、1台のみで3ケースほど洗濯をやっている人がいて全然終わらなかった。。。 冷蔵庫の扉が壊れていたがすぐに対応してくれたり、スリッパ交換されなかったのでお願いしたらしてくれた。
- John (8/5): - The location was good close enough to the DDP (walking distance) and subway station but honestly this was our least favorite hotel we stayed while we were traveling around Korea. While the room was spacious enough the condition wasn't the best (stains/scratches on the walls, loose chair armrest, etc.) and we all found the bathtub was strangely way too high so getting out especially was difficult even unsafe. I would personally would not stay here again nor recommend to others unless you just need a cheap place to stay.
- Jane (8/5): - staff were helpful and allowed me late check out and early checkin as i had two bookings for different size rooms in one stretch’s
- JIYOON (8/5): - 交通の便はとても便利でした。部屋も広く、値段もリーズナブルでフロントの方もとても親切でした。ただ、部屋の掃除で髪の毛やつけまつ毛(自分は使ってません)が一度出たことがありましたので少し不快でした。
- FUMIHIKO (10/5): - The facility was clean overall. The location was convenient and good. There was a male staff member in his 30s who was very kind and helpful. I would like to stay at the same hotel again if I come to Seoul.
- Clint (8/5): - Acube is located in walking distance of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, a very impressive modern architectural site, and is also close to some popular food markets and within a 20 or 30 minute walk to some of the pavilions. The building is a little dated but the rooms are clean and beds and linens are good and the staff is helpful. The entry instructions say to enter your confirmation on the screen out front but it didn’t work with my Expedia confirmation. No problem the person at the front desk looked after us.
- oi ying (4/5): - 牆身和地氈都不清潔，地氈超級污糟，房間燈光比較暗，另外浴室大約15分鐘就熄燈很嚇人，感覺不太好！整體感覺就是不清潔，不會再入住！
- Jiro (8/5): - It was conveniently located near Dongdaemun.
- Alyssa (4/5): - Very dated facility, stained carpet and shower curtains (these are very noticeable stains, too - about 12cm diameter or larger), cracked walls and other signs of disrepair. Not many places to hang towels to dry in the bathroom (but they were replaced daily so this wasn’t much of a problem). Still, staff was very friendly and attentive, customer service was great, and bottled water was provided for free daily and upon request. The hotel is located near convenience stores and a bus stop and we did not have any problems getting around without a car. Bed was very comfortable.
- RAUL (10/5): - Great rooms and amenities!
- Gwendolyn (10/5): - The room was very clean and comfortable. Had all you need like a fridge, good bed, lounge chair and desk. Close to various metro stations so it is easy to get around in Seoul. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
- Timotheus (10/5): - Location is very convenient, walkable to Dongdaemun, the subway is less than 50m away and the subway is right smack in the middle of Seoul, easy to travel to prominent locations.
- MASAYO (10/5): - The hotel was good for tourist!
- Wynne (8/5): Good size room - Only thing is the hotel don’t have front desk at 24 hrs and not enough light. Room a bit too dark
- Maria (6/5): SK fam trip - Decent space for a family of 5. Location is very convenient and close to everything. We just hope that there’s a microwave inside the room.
- DONGJIN (8/5): - Good
- Jaeseung (6/5): - You get what you pay for. pros : location, privacy, rates cons: warn out towels. broken electric outlet, safe box not usable, no gym, no coffee, ugly veiw from window,
- PAULINA SOLEDAD (10/5): - Me gustó mucho este hotel por la limpieza, cercanía a varios sitios para conocer y el personal muy amable
- Paulina (10/5): - Es un sitio muy bueno para hospedarse, los chicos de la recepción te ayudan con todas las consultas y hasta pedir comida. Hay paradas de metro y bus muy cerca.
- YUNG CHANG (10/5): - 乙之路4街下車往7號出口走，記得第一個出口處不要就上樓梯了，向左邊繼續走地下街道，大約6～10分鐘後走上約兩層樓樓梯後，第一個路口右轉，左邊就是Acube。 先不管有沒有早餐，妳選擇住在比明洞、弘大便宜，品質也不錯的這邊就已經贏了，飯店就鄰近廣藏市場大約6分鐘路程，當然選擇到當地吃道地的食物當早餐啊
- Cristopher (10/5): Great option in Seoul - Great location and suronding area. The hotel is small but great option to sleep and have a good rest night.
- David (10/5): Recommended! - The staff were respectful and friendly. Thank you very much
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 광장시장과 멀지 않고 깨끗해요
- SAYAKA (8/5): - great
- Hiroyuki (8/5): - ライン登録でチェックインしルームカード代わりにパスワードを送られた。最近多くなって便利。 1名利用のキングベッドで予約したが、3ベッドの部屋だった。広さは変わらないがアメニティや水のペットボトルは5人分用意されていて申し訳ない気がした。
- Akira (8/5): - 東大門市場まで近くて便利でした。
- Elthamboy (6/5): Nothing great - Arrived via metro on a Saturday evening. Surprised to see that the whole area was quiet, vey little was open. The hotels is quite rough around the edges. The lighting on my floor was very dim, it made me feel unsafe. View out the window was overlooking rooves of old dilapidated buildings - so not very pleasant. For the price probably could have got something better in the area.
- anthony (10/5): - Pretty good for the price
- Cynthia (8/5): - limited dining
- Steve (8/5): - Quiet.. easy to travel around
- Kenneth (6/5): Disappointed in everything but staff - The staff were super helpful. But I didn't appreciate the stains in the carpet in my room. The fact that there's no restaurant or bar as advertised were also frustrating. I also don't appreciate the fact that you don't get a key and you don't have staff there much of the time. The neighborhood also doesn't have any restaurants or services near it.
- Darko (6/5): - Room floor was dirty but beside that it was good
- Canada54 (6/5): It’s ok - Rooms are renovated & staff is helpful. Hotel is on the outskirts of an industrial area so if you walk towards “dried seafood market” it’s much different than turning right from front door. If you turn right you are approximately 15 minutes away from the shopping area. If you can get a good price than maybe consider this hotel otherwise do your research as there are many other options in the area that may be better!
- dagneytaggert (2/5): Tried to sell us a double instead of a triple, dirty and smelly - Since there are no recent reviews, I wanted to share my recent experience. Given the decent reviews, we were looking forward to staying here, especially as it was priced affordably vs other options. However, this turned out to be the worst hotel experience I have ever had in my 25 years of traveling across numerous continents and hotels. I booked a triple room (two doubles and a single) as I was traveling solo with three kids. It's pretty hard to find a room that will sleep 4 in Seoul. Well, this is where “you get what you pay for”. Upon walking into the room, we were shocked to find it was a double room and they had simply brought in an extra single bed and placed it right in the entry area. The bed blocked access to the room, and one could only enter the room by squeezing in between two beds. Additionally, the room smelled strongly of bleach and started to make us feel nauseous. Lastly, the room was dirty. There were stains on the floor and sofa. It had an overall unkempt and dirty feel as if it was not recently cleaned. Overall the hotel quality was more of a 2.5 or 2 star hotel, definitely not a 3 star hotel. In shock about the bed situation, I immediately messaged the front desk (you can only message them through an app, luckily I already had WhatsApp). When the front desk person arrived I pointed out that this room did not appear like the listing picture with 3 beds placed in a manner which didn’t block the doorway nor pose a fire hazard. He insisted the room was a triple, until finally he admitted that the room wasn’t a “true triple”. He said that since they were sold out of “true triples” the best he could do is offer us two double rooms. He wanted two of my elementary-aged children to sleep on a different floor from me. I told him not only was this unsafe but illegal in most countries and I would not do this. He kept insisting the room was fine, as well as trying to convince me to have the kids sleep on a different floor. I began to realize we were in an unsafe situation, and said I wanted to cancel my reservation. At this point I was willing to find any other hotel room in the city, at any cost. He then said that since we had entered the room and “messed up the beds”, (my kids sat on a bed for 5 mins because there was no place to stand or sit) we had to pay for the entire night. I said that they had falsely sold this room as a triple when it was a double, and that I would not pay. But he said that if I didn’t agree to pay for one night (since we had “entered” the room), we would have to pay for all three nights! In desperation, I proposed that I would pay for the room cleaning, if their issue was that my kids sat on the beds for a moment. But he wouldn’t allow that, and as I grew further distressed about our situation, I agreed to the 1 night charge just so we could leave. He made me hand write a note to agree to this, but instead I wrote a note detailing the fraudulent listing. I needed to do anything to get out of there. This was a very scary experience for me and my kids. I want everyone to know the truth before booking. The rooms are old and dirty. There is no full time front desk. If you arrive before check-in at 3pm, you have to pay egregious costs to store your luggage in lockers in the lobby. There is also no dining establishment on site. There is no front desk personnel in the evenings. Honestly, the reviews about cleanliness seem fake to me as well, given the disgusting condition of the room.
- YUEN LING JOSEPHINE (10/5): - Good location, good staff , clean rooms We were family of 4 - received top floor family room Room is spacious , clean, no noise , sufficient amenities & safe Front desk staff very nice & helpful Location may not be the top choice for shoppers but there is subway entrance about 2 minutes walk - once in the subway train = accessible anywhere There is 24 he convenience store ( CU) about 2 minutes walk ~~ convenient for anything ! Price is reasonable ~~ enjoy our stay in this Hotel , thank you!
- Melissa (10/5): - Clean and easy check in
- John (10/5): - Quite a good location if you wander into the alleys for many restaurants. Jongno market is good for seaweed and dried stuffs. Ok distance to walk to the subway. Room we got is pretty newly renovated. Reasonable price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staffs was very helpful, breakfast was great and the hotel is very clean.
- aneps2003 (10/5): Small Hotel Perfect for Family Stat - This hotel caught our attention solely because it can accommodate our family of five in one room. It was so difficult to this kind of hotel in Seoul as most of the hotel room are a bit small. Nevertheless, we think we had made a good choice for a four nights stay. Everything from reception, room, bath, breakfast and facilities were great. The room was new, the bed are comfortable and the bath was so nice although a little bit small. We were so touch that the hotel did try their best to prepare us some halal breakfast everyday. The variety of breakfast menu was not that many but it was more than enough for our quick breakfast for the day. The location can’t be more convenient as it centrally located near Dongdaemun. It was just a 10 min walk to famous Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Dongdaemun Market. It was also just 3 bus stops away from Myeongdong. We have enjoyable & relaxing stay in this hotel.
- GeneP788 (8/5): Good location good hotel - The staff at the front desk is polite and accommodating. There is a small elevator. The room is clean, adequate size and has three beds good for 4 to 5 persons. The breakfast is simple but sufficient with bread, cereals, rice, chicken and egg. The hotel is good in price and location to see the city.
- ALVIN (10/5): - Very good hotel. I will go back again. Convenient to subway.
- schia48 (10/5): Cosy hotel for your visit to Seoul - ACUBE Hotel is a small cosy hotel located just minutes walk from the SEOUL Design Plaza and the shopping district of Dongdaemun. Owned and run by family, the hotel rooms are modest but very clean and comfortable. The manager, Ken KIM is often at the front desk and is very accomodating and friendly. We had booked our group online, but realised we needed another additional room last minute. He not only accomodated us, but also gave us a rate that is even cheaper. The small single room (located one small flight of stairs in between floors) are cosy and perfect for single or couples. Their daily complementary breakfast on the ground floor is adequate, and great for a quick bite before going out to explore the city. Highly recommended and would be back soon. The Design Plaza is an excellent location because its a major train stop, central stopping point for the HopOn HopOff tour buses (both blue and red lines), and of course, walking distance to great 24hour shopping.
- abdicodrut (10/5): great value - I came here for 8 nights and I have to say it was a great choice!! Everything here is spotless clean and the rooms are nice and well organised. Everything is very clean and well kept. I loved my room, even if it is on the small side but nice and comfy. The linens are perfect, the bed is great, I had a nice rest after flying in from Europe. It is well located close to a subway line, there is a small shop where you can get what ever you want. 5 mins away there are tones of shopping malls where you can spend money on what ever you want or need. Best choice, I am glad I came here and definitely will come again!
- Joe (8/5): - Staff--friendly, courteous Good location Room'-spacious; ovetall clean except our floor carpet was pretty stained.
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional customer service and very clean - A cube hotel provided exceptional customer service. Front desk especially Ken went out of his way to help us and make our stay amazing. The staff all spoke English and were happy to help. The hotel room was very clean and spacious. Wonderful big bathroom and very comfortable beds and very clean. The area was great too as only a 5-8 min walk to 4 major shopping malls and Dongdamun market so very convenient. It was also great to have the free breakfast included. The breakfasts were tasty And each morning there was a variety of different food. We highly recommend Acube hotel. Incredible value and exceptional experience.
- AL (8/5): - Good hotel with friendly staff, room smaller than expected but has wash machine on site is very convenient.
- JennySteveJoshuaSydn (10/5): Exceptional customer service, very clean rooms and very affordable. - We are visiting from Canada with our son who was born in South Korea but we do not speak any korean. Ken who was working at the front desk when we arrived was amazing. He met us when our cab arrived and helped us with our bags. He was so very helpful and kind and happily answered all our many questions and helped us call for taxi cans and helped us figure out where to go in the area for food and shopping. The hotel is very great value for money. Rooms are big and spacious and sleep four people which is rare in Seoul. The rooms are very clean and the bathroom Is big. There is a kettle in the room and free toiletries and toothpaste etc. The free breakfast was a bonus and very convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean & Comfortable Room - Location is out of the way that need to take public transport to reach the shopping areas. But it does offer a big & clean room for my family of 4.
- pippik2019 (6/5): Its a good hotel if you're luck - Just stayed for 3 nights there, overall is not bad; the washroom and bed were clean and tidy (they're always the 2 most important thing in a hotel room). However, its just my personal experience that we were assigned in ground floor in the first night, the room itself is okay but its quite noisy in the morning because buffet breakfast was just beside our room, not much noise from visitors but trolley moving and cleaning noise were a bit terrible. We told the manager and he changed another room for me, this time was on 7.5/F (the highest is 8/F), as said, bed and washroom was clean and comfy; however, the roller blind were not 100% block-out, there are over 10 tiny holes which allows light coming in, we could sleep well after 6am. And we need to pack our luggage 2 times during our stay, left from ground floor and air-cond repaired in our 3rd day time. >.< The experience was not that good, but fairly speaking, the location and room itself are above standard.
- msjmd2019 (10/5): The lovely neighborhood of Dongdaemun and how ACUBE was home for 5 days - I had a 5 days, 4 nights stay in ACUBE Hotel Dongdaemun in July 2019. I must say that this hotel had been a very good one for female solo travelers like me. I arrived Seoul at around 9AM and check-in was supposedly not until 3PM. When I did my online reservation, I had made a special request for an early check-in and the hotel was gracious enough to give my request and checked me in as soon as I arrived. The free room upgrade was also a lovely bonus!! With this being my second time in Seoul, I purposedly chose to stay in the Dongdaemun area as the Myeongdong area was too busy and touristy for me. And I'm glad I chose this neighborhood as it is quiet and more laid-back but has almost everything within arm's reach! >> There are 2 airport shuttle terminals (2-5 minute walk) >> A convenience store at the corner >> 2 banks and fruit stands within the same street >> An entire lane of money exchange stalls nearby >> Blue Bus Terminals around the area (2 minute walk) >> Exit 7 of Dongdaemun Design History and Culture Park Station (thru the Euljistar Mall) which connects you all the way to Exit 1 of this subway station and brings you to the Green (Line 2) , Blue (Line 4), and Purple (Line 5) lines. >> A chicken & beer place at the corner by rhe convenience store. It is also very close to Gwangjang Market Place and Dongdaemun Design Plaza/History and Culture Park (both about 5 to 10 minutes away by foot). The rooms are very clean. The bed is queen-sized and soft (foam and not spring). The room is spacious for one traveler. The bathroom is spacious enough for the size of an Asian woman but the bath is a little bit small and cramped up in space. However, I love how clean the bathroom is and how the toilet seat is automated with controls for bidet, dryer, and seat heater. Breakfast was nothing exceptional but was good enough. I noted that they alternated the menu every 2-3 days. Internet wifi was fast and uninterrupted. The staff were easy to talk to as they understood English (but you might have to speak slowly). In particular, I appreciated the kindness of Seol Kim and Jay (both receptionists). I am glad to have chosen this hotel for my first trip alone. The place definitely lives up to its slogan --- accessible, affordable, and amiable. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends who will visit Seoul and will definitely come back here on my next visit to Seoul.
- D.L (10/5): - We stayed 6 nights in a family room with 2 double beds, it was just nice for us 2 adults with 2 kids. I love the cleanliness of our room and it's considered spacious. The beds were very comfy, we had a good rest throughout our stay. Hotel location was in between 2 train stations, so need to walk a bit but train station exit to underground was just 2 min walk away and airport bus station was across the road, that is such easy access to and from airport. The only dislike was probably the breakfast choices were limited, and so I only had it for 2 days. Overall it was a great choice of hotel for us!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean bedsheets and comfortable beds. Bathroom is clean as well.
- Ho (10/5): - good location, clean and spacious room, nice breakfast and friendly staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Jay (night shift) at the front desk was helpful and thoughtful. I had an early morning check out and he helped to book a cab as it was raining. The night before, I asked about the T-money pass refunds. He wrote me a note in Korean language, so I won't have any issues at the metro service counter when asking for refunds. Unfortunately, the service counters were closed. Appreciate your help Jay!
- Pui (10/5): A very pleasant stay. Staffs are very friendly!! - It was a great hotel to stay. It would be good to edit on this site for different ways of transportation from the airport to get to the area and how to find the hotel and other obvious visual landmark and sinage for travellers to locate the hotel. A simple map will be good to get around the area. Also, this hotel has simple self service laundry and should update here.
- 714jeanniec (8/5): Other than the breakfast, not bad - The good... - Good size room - Very comfortable bedding though extra pillows are on request and limited - Huge capacity self-operated washer and dryer at very reasonable rate in the common laundry room. Detergent and ironing amenities available there too. - Laptop size safe - Very good location if you don't like being in crowded areas, but yet very accessible to public transportation. - Enjoyed having our suppers in the cool spring evenings at their outdoor seating, and was not barred from doing so. The bad... - Lighting switches are all located by the door means that you will be walking back to your bed in pitch dark after switching off - Breakfast has very limited choices and repeated with common ingredients every other day. - Shared shower/toilet. Shower is not elderly friendly as its only accessible in a bath tub. - For some reason, this hotel (and the 2 other hotels we stayed) does not have a peep hole on the door.
- PassportPhilatelist (10/5): Almost perfect - Just about everything is great about this hotel: * Very clean rooms. The term "spotless" would apply * Very comfortable beds * Modern, clean interior * High quality breakfast * Very helpful staff We stayed in a Family Triple room for four nights and appreciated having separate beds for each of our kids while still having enough room to walk. The bathroom was also a nice size and the sink was outside of the toilet and shower area, which allowed someone to use the sink while someone else was in the toilet or shower. All hotels should be designed that way. The breakfast is excellent. While somewhat limited in size, the items are very high quality. I liked that there are a mix of types of foods. Western breakfasts tend to be high on sugar and fat, so the fact there was salad and some cooked meat (protein) was wonderful. Maybe others find these dishes odd at breakfast but I welcomed them. And the croissants ARE very good and baked fresh there. The staff was very helpful whenever we needed them. The only downside to staying here is the fact there are not many food options nearby. In a city where there are so many street food stalls, bakeries, and other quick food options, it's disappointing that there really isn't anything quick that is close by to the Acube Hotel. You have to walk 10 minutes a tall office building that has a Tous Les Jours on the ground floor and some food places in the basement. The other option is to order delivery food, but that takes an hour or so to arrive. Our first full day we made the mistake of coming back to the hotel before eating dinner (two of us were tired and just wanted to rest), which meant that the other two had to venture out to find food, which is tough to find in the area around the hotel. The metro station is about a 5-minute walk. The area was very quiet at night and we had no problem getting a good night's rest.
- cheeerz (8/5): Yeah....it was Affordable, Accessible and Amiable - Let's start with what ACUBE (A3) stands for: For Seoul, yes it is AFFORDABLE (For our family room in April), it is ACCESSIBLE (a mere 5-8 mins walk to the Euljiro 4(sa)-ga or 3(sam)-ga underground station and the Gen-Y reception staff are AMIABLE. We did get a very comfortable bed and power shower/bath. Wifi’s good. Breakfast selection is small but ok for muesli, fluffy croissant and orange juice. Coffee is extremely weak so, pick a tea instead. From Eujiro 4(sa)-ga, it is just a few stops to some main places of interest in Seoul. A ticket costs W1,200 + W500 deposit. There are deposit refund machines immediately after the turn-style as you exit and refund is as simple as slipping your ticket in. If you are up early and wish to take a few photos, stroll 3 minutes to the remarkably clean (and surprisingly odourless) Jungbu Dry Fish Market 200 m away when the market is still nice and quiet. If you are back late, do note there are very few eateries nearby. So, your best bet is either the fried chicken shop or CU convenience store 30 metres away where you can pick-up a Kimbap (around W3,000) or ready meals. Alternatively, take something back with you. If it's before 9 pm. explore street food at Gwangjang Market, a 10 minute stroll away as the stalls tend to be winding down thereafter. We are out most of the day so, we do appreciate the comfortable beds, power shower and AC to just cool the room down very briefly in the evening.
- sandbecka (10/5): Good location, wonderful service and great prices! - Excellent service and walkable to many sites. Rooms are a bit small, but wasn’t an issue for us as we didn’t spend much time hangout out in the room. They also host a nice continental breakfast which is a plus! And everyone at the front desk is beyond helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Pleasant stay - Wonderful, friendly and helpful reception - especially the day time staff. They certainly go the extra mile to help you. Housekeeping is also excellent. Local area is not bad but we are with very young children so that’s a bit of a walk for them from the stations, but would have been very good for adults.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location with easy access to Subway stations and, night markets. The staff were very helpful and the family room came with a fridge. Breakfast buffet available with limited options. Would probably recommend options for vegans as this wasn't really catered for.
- NelaF. (10/5): - The premises is always clean and quiet. The staff are always helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Amazing service. Spacious and clean room. Not the best area but easy enough to travel anywhere.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We are a family of three and stayed 3 nights in Family Plus room Our reviews: Room: Clean and nice. Has 2 queen size beds. They were comfortable, although the pillows were soft but not a big issue for us. The hotel provided bottled water, coffee & tea facilities and basic toiletries. The toilet is also clean. Staff: English speaking, friendly and helpful reception. Breakfast: Spread is ok. Location: Near the subway, 5 mins walk to Bangsan Market. Airport shuttle bus: Alight at Baiton Hotel cross the road and turn right, walk straight and just before the cross-junction, turn left into a small lane and a short walk you will reach the hotel.
- hktomato (10/5): Great location, great facility - Very comfortable and clean. A rare hotel that can accommodate our family with 3 children in the same room. Love the location, really close to the subway. Will definitely stay here again when I visit Seoul next time. Beds are super comfortable.
- tpeep12 (10/5): Definitely will come back! - 1. convinent location where it is near to airport bus stop, 24 hrs convenience mart, popular gwangjang market with delicous food and dongdaemun. Also myeongdong and namdaemun market are close that i often went to these places to shop. Plus, a walking distance to subway station. 2. Friendly staff, felt comfortable while staying and they were all always willing to help. 3. I arrived earlier than check in time but i was lucky that room was ready which was clean, cozy and comfy. No noises from outside or other room and heater was working well kept me from Korea winter. I stayed over 2 weeks at this hotel and i would strongly recomment this place to others and for myself, i would definitely come back for the next visit.
- Sam (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay. Just like one of the reviews I read, this is a boutique hotel. It’s not the Hyatt Grand but not Best Western. Accommodations for my family of 4 plus my mother we’re fine. Location was great and easy to get to from all our tourist destinations. Breakfast was fine as well although I was a little worried after some of the complaints about it not having variety. It’s much better than any contintental breakfast with warm options. We changed it up and walked 5 min to Gwangjang Market for some street food. The place was clean, quiet and the staff was excellent. Jay and Elena were the regular staff we saw and they were wonderful and always willing to help. I definitely recommend this hotel.
- proceed_to_departure (6/5): Did the job - The hotel is about a ten minute walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Euljiro 4 subway station. Our room was spacious and had a super-king size bed and beautiful bathroom, complete with bath. We overlooked the front of the hotel and street below. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a disappointment and catered very much to Asian tourists. The selection and choice available was poor. Clam chowder for breakfast? Definately not for me... however I was very impressed to find out that the hotel chef freshly bakes the croissants every morning and they were delicious. You can easily get to all of the main tourist attractions from the metro stations which surround the hotel. I'm don't think I stay here again but that's only because I found the hotel to be quite expensive given for the experience it offered.
- Sok Ling (8/5): Great stay but mar by aircon system - Stayed twice (2 different rooms) during same trip to Seoul as we did a side trip in between. It’s located on a quiet side street off the busy main road which is good. 2 min walk to the nearest linkway to both stations (refer to their map). From there another few min walk to respective stations. A pleasant stay both times except for the second one, the aircon system didn’t work (shut down due to change of season as per staff). Only heating was available. The room was super uncomfortable, hot and stuffy (it wasn’t cold enough to warrant heating) We called front desk and was told to “turn heating off and open windows”. Well that didn’t help with ventilation, and we had a mosquito problem! In the end we had to shut the windows and put up with stuffy air. That was my only complaint. The hotel must change the aircon policy. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay in terms of cleanliness and location with breakfast included. Lots of cheap local restaurants next to Baiton hotel which is nearby.
- Izaxi (8/5): Four (4) is F :) - Let me start this hotel name is pronounced A-Cube! This tiny detail will make it easier to find the hotel. You can get to the hotel from the airport with but # 6001 it is easy and very convenient, less than 2 minutes walk from the bus station to the hotel (about US$12). Don't even try making the attempt to use the Subway, Metro (whatever you call this maze) as soon as you land in Seoul. The hotel Location is great, short walking distance from the DDP and the Food market. The hotel is very simple and minimalistic, Clean and comfortable bed. The windows in the room on the 4th floor were blocked by a wall 2 feet away from the windows. The funny title is true, in the elevator, there is no number 4 instead they have F. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always answering any question you have. The breakfast is OK, I wish they will have more choices, But everything is fresh! The room AC/Heat System is in Korean, it is impossible to control, the room got so hot at night, I had to open the windows to cool the room. I would rate the hotel 5 start, it is just the windowless room made it 4. The Subway in Seoul is a challenge, pretty confusing system and the signage is not always consistent, in the train cars and the stations.
- David (10/5): Everything we needed for a family stay - Acube was the perfect hotel for our stay. We needed a room for 2 adults and 3 small children and stayed in a room with 3 double beds. It was a nice size as a lot of the hotels in Seoul seem to have a very cramped space with multiple beds. Acube had a little extra room and we were fine staying there for 5 nights. In my view the breakfast in the lobby was perfect, enough to get you going for the day. If you need to gorge out on breakfast buffet so you don't need lunch then it won't be for you. If you want a typical asian buffet it won't be for you. But I loved it. Wifi in the room was excellent, we used it to stream multiple devices at same time at night with no issue. Staff were helpful and went out of their way when we had a couple of requests. There was a well known Korean drama TV show shooting in the street behind the hotel outside our window when we were there so that added to the fun. Just on the next street corner (100m away) is the entrance to the green metro line station. Be aware it is then a 5 min walk underground to the actual station. It is easy enough but just good to know what to expect. Acube is basically positioned half way between two metro stations. You can also walk back to Dongdaemun where there is a lot more going on than the immediate area around the hotel which is fairly quiet. To us this was way better than say staying in the middle of Myeongdong and having craziness all around you as soon as you walk out the hotel lobby.
- MichiA908 (10/5): Worth every penny! - Acube wasn't really my first option because we wanted to stay in Myeongdong area but it turned out surprisingly well as I loved everything about this hotel. From service, to room design, to breakfast variety! We arrived at 7am Seoul time and front desk proactively requested to skip housekeeping for our rooms so we can rest well. On our first night, we were too tired to go out for dinner and Jay, the front desk manager at the time recommended good food and helped us order food to be delivered at the hotel. We stayed here for 6 nights and loved the breakfast food - there's not much variety to choose from but they make minor changes to the menu everyday. Loved the croissants and the porridge/soups! On our last night, we requested for late checkout and was granted. They even went out of their way to check the arrival time of the guest who will be using the rooms assigned to us to ensure all of our rooms can avail of the late check out. Location wise, this is 2 stops near myeongdong via the purple line, and is near the subway access. There's also a convenience store, food shops, and money changers near the area. Needless to say, this hotel is highly recommended for guests who are particular about the room design and service.
- koychan (10/5): Convenient and affordable! - Hotel is conveniently located near public transportation and just 10-15 mins ride away from several top tourist places. It’s in a quiet area away from the hussle of the city life yet in such close proximity to nearby tourist attractions. DDP is less than 10 mins walking distance and Gwangjang Market is also less than 10 mins walking distance. The staff here are courteous and efficient. They are quick to help when needed. The guy who checked us in spoke perfect English so it helped out a lot! They serve breakfast each morning and the menu changes each day. It may not be your typical huge hotel but this hotel boutique was perfect for my short stay in Seoul. Definitely worth a try!
- Mark (10/5): Quiet and Cozy - Staff is friendly and helpful. Room is well-maintained.
- Royston (8/5): Acube Hotel September 2018 review - The location of the Acube Hotel was in between two subway stops and very convenient. The rooms were functional and easy to use. Nothing fancy but definitely good value for money. The breakfast was simple and basic.
- Rome (8/5): - Pros : A fairly new hotel with everything fresh including the fluffy towels. Nice clean room with good wifi. Breakfast was a good continental. Hot meals were mainly Asian foods. It is not located in the main shopping area, but subway station is a short walk away and it takes 2 stops to Myeong-dong. Airport Bus# 6001 stops at Baiton hotel, 3 mins walk away. Cons : Check-in time should be much sooner than 3 PM (ideally after 1 PM would be better). Although some staff were helpful, they did not seem to have a good local knowledge. For instance, when I asked a staff how to get to Itaewon by subway she told me to take a subway line that took longer than the other line. And when I asked another staff about the airport train to the airport in late evening, she said there were no trains even though when I checked the airport train website by myself I found out that the airport trains would run till late. Overall, it's a good stay. If the price is still right in the future, I will return. Otherwise, I would rather stay in Myeong-dong.
- Margaret (10/5): - We are very happy with our stay at scuba ,staff speak very good English n very helpful The location is the very central
- Jo (8/5): Convienent Location and Value for Money - Good location at the subway station, few mins walk to Dongdaemun mall and airport transfer bus is available at the opposite of the hotel side and self service laundry is available. But hotel location is lack of foods choice, need to walk 7mins to Gwangjamun market or else to Dongdaemun mall nearby.
- Shirley (8/5): Bright, clean n cozy stay - The single room has a wide window which let in plenty of light, the room is clean, spacious n comfortable. Very friendly n helpful staffs who made a very warm n cozy stay. 7mins walk to Euljiro Sa(4) Ga station(green line) Exit 7, making traveling around very convenient. 12 mins walk to Dongdaemun History n Culture Park.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good n comfortable stsy. Friendly n polite staffs
- Yau (10/5): Convenient location and excellent hotel - The staffs are helpful. The room is spacious enough for 5 person and comfortable. There is also complimentary mobile rental called handy with unlimited data plan. Though we don't really use it, as we already purchased the sim cards, it would be helpful for our next coming trips.
- chee Ming (10/5): Nice hotel. Very clean and staffs are friendly - Overall a great hotel. Very clean and comfortable stay. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Hotel is quite close to Seoul Metro.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very good hotel. Convenient place and comfortable beds. Although it is double bed, it is enough space for 2 adult to sleep comfortably. The toilet sliding door spoilt on the first day, the hotel staff fixed it right after we told them.
- Ashlyn (10/5): Will be back again - The staff there is warm and really helpful. Location is perfect. Rooms are spacious. It really exceeded my expectations of a 3-Star hotel.
- Koh (8/5): Generally ok except no single hook in the bathroom - Generally ok except no single hook in the bathroom
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beds to die for!! - Brilliant stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic hotel, clean and comfortable. - Clean and comfortable hotel in the central seoul area. Afordable and close to public transport and sites.
- Martha (10/5): A small, comfortable hotel with a helpful heart - It was an amazing stay for our family of 5. We booked the family room, which had 2 double beds and 1 single bed. Very comfortable stay. Clean room and efficient housekeeping staff. Simple buffet breakfast but they had the best croissants. Nearest train station exit is about 20m from the hotel. Nearest train station is Euljiro 4-ga is about 350m walk. Conveniently located, easy access to Seoul's attractions and landmarks. About 1hr to 1hr and 45mins. from Incheon Airport. Traffic can be bad so take the train if you can but be ready with stairs if you need to carry your luggage. Airport bus would be the next option. Would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel near Dongdaemun - Second time staying in Acube. Service is still excellent! This time they provided toothbrushes. I am not sure whether this was dependent on the room type, as I stayed in the Family Triple compared to last year's Studio room, or was it because of the frequent comments made by other guests too. I hope the hotel will continue to provide toothbrushes. I also hope the hotel management will consider installing some hanging hooks in the bathroom. There's limited space in the bathroom for hanging clothes or towels especially when there's 4 of us. Overall I will stay in this hotel again if the price remains reasonable.
