Disliked: Cleanliness
I would say this hotel is one of the best-located places in all of Seoul. It’s situated within walking distance of several major metro lines, making it extremely convenient to get around the city. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and having an Emart and a pharmacy on the first floor is a big plus. The airport limousine bus also stops right in front of the hotel, which makes arrival and departure very easy. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the only downside for me was the cleanliness. I understand that April is a particularly bad time for air pollution, but both my friend and I developed acute allergic bronchitis, which we believe was due to poorly maintained ventilation and the lack of an air purifier in the room. This was disappointing, especially since we chose the hotel based on many reviews praising its cleanliness. That said, I would still consider staying here again, mainly because of its unbeatable location and overall convenience.

staff are wonderful and the room is large, but everything is extremely old, worn, and damaged. the hotel needs major renovations and is way over priced in compared to nearby hotels that are far better in quality. it seems like there haven’t been any renovations in decades.

Their description on hotels.com need to be revised. It said there was laundry facilities but when I went to ask what floor the washers/dryers were, I was told they did not have any. Having laundry facilities was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel so that was super disappointing. The building is an older building so you can really hear everything, like if someone was in the shower, or if someone rolled their luggages in the hallway. The furniture and walls were old as you can tell from the scratches, cracks, and chipped paint. Location was good though, so close to Euljiro 4 exit 10 subway (it had an escalator - convenient after a long travel) and walking distance of 2 other subway stops with major line transfers. Also walking distance of MyeongDong.

Despite some minor downsides such as small thin towels and the bathroom showing a bit of age and wear, I would still give this 5 stars because it hits on the things that are most important to me. It has an actual desk area as opposed to a standalone table so you can keep your laptop charging while you work if needed. They provide free bottled water each day (2x Evian and 2x Sparkling in the Deluxe Double room I stayed in). Housekeeping cleaned my room promptly regardless of what time I stepped out. Airport bus dropoff and pickup are directly in front of the hotel. Subway lines 2 and 5 at Euljiro 4 is half a block away, and line 3 is available at Euljiro 3 station which you can even walk to via the underground passageway from Euljiro 4. Plus the Euljiro 4 exit 10 which is closest to the hotel has escalators. These transportation options alone make Hotel Kukdo a must-consider for any stay in Seoul. I only wish I could have had an option to pay for early check-in but was told it is unavailable (not sure if it was just for that day or if that's standard policy). But overall, very pleased with my stay.
