had the most pleasant stay at Mangrove Sinseol in my recent trip to Seoul! The room was spacious, and the staff was easily contactable through an online chat (very responsive too). Mangrove Sinseol is conveniently located near Sinseol-dong station, with a direct bus (6002) from Incheon Airport. It also has many bus services nearby that directly connects the place to other tourist places in Seoul. Would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Seoul.

Love the concept of this hotel. The staff are all well versed with English. Easy to communicate. There’s a bus stop just right infront of this hotel makes travelling so easy ! There’s not tv in the room and they only do room cleaning every 6 days. Do take note if you’re expecting daily cleaning hotel concept. Overall is a nice and pleasant stay while in Seoul. The room is compact, small but have everything you need.

Das Hotel ist gut mit dem Bus vom Airport zu erreichen (ca 75 Minuten). Eine Metro Station ist in der Nähe. Man ist in diesem Hotel fast komplett auf sich selbst gestellt und muss Infos zusammensuchen. Hauptsächlich übernachten hier junge Leute. Es gab keine Infos zum Wifi im Zimmer und ich musste mich durchfragen. Personal besteht immer nur aus einer Person, die aber auch nicht immer da ist. Ich bevorzuge eine Rezeption. Ich hatte einen Tag Glück einen sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiter zu entdecken, der mir sehr mit einem Anliegen geholfen hat. Gefühlt sind die Sehenswürdigkeiten alle weiter entfernt vom Hotel, aber mit der Metro durch umsteigen erreichbar. Den Müll muss man bei Abreise selber entsorgen, was ich so auch noch nicht hatte. Um das Hotel herum gibt es einige Kaffeehausketten, Essen, Supermärkte und ganz wichtig Olive Young für KBeauty ;-).
