Hotel Bene

Close to a train station, convenience store, and there are food options everywhere

About Location: Very very VERY good. Nearest subway station is Euljiro-3 (Exit 9) and is right next to the hotel. Exit the hotel, turn right, and the station is immediately there. Very convenient. The airport limousine bus station is also only an 5-8 minute walk away. Convenience store (Emart) is also below the hotel in the building in front. I didn't really explore the area but there were a lot of Korean restaurants downstairs, and a cafe abut a 5 minute walk away (A Twosome Place) About Staff: The old lady who checked us in initially was not so friendly. Checkin was only available 7pm, and I was a bit disappointed because other reviews mentioned that early checkin was possible with payment, but that was not offered to me. By then,I was too exhausted since I arrived early in the morning to fight back, so I had to explore Seoul on only 1 hour of sleep on the plane. But over the next few days, the male staff at the counter was friendlier whenever we greeted him. About The Room: This room is perfect for 2 people. Both big luggages could be opened up at the same time, and it was way more spacious than I thought it would be. There was one cockroach there to greet us but the room had insect repellant to use (I guess this is normal), but no other bugs appeared while we were there. The minifridge was useful, and was always restocked with water and other drinks. Surprisingly, room service came everyday, I didn't expect it. I don't think the cleaning was that thorough, because I realised towards the end of our trip that there was a contact lens in the shower (none of us wear lenses). But they always changed the towels and sheets so that was nice. And they always kept the floors clean. The room also had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash to use, and came with free toothbrushes, toothpaste and a little amenity kit per person. The room also has a TV. Apparently the remote for the aircon was also the TV remote. So the settings for the aircon were limited and confusing, but not too inconvenient. Overall, our experience with the room was way better than we thought it would be. The lobby also has water dispensers and coffee machine for free to use. And water for sale at 1,000won per bottle. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you're gonna be out the whole day and only coming back to sleep and shower. Would give an overall rating of 4/5 stars!

A very good stay overall, offering excellent value for money and a highly convenient location. The staff were particularly helpful and welcoming, making the experience easy and pleasant. Cleanliness was generally good, while the facilities were solid and met expectations, though there is a little room for improvement in both areas.

Stayed here for one night. The person at the front desk wasn't very friendly, although maybe he was just having a bad day. The room definitely didn't look like what was shown on the booking websites. It was much older in person, with cracks on the walls and other signs of wear. The photos on Agoda are pretty deceiving compared to the actual condition of the room. The location is good, but I think the price should be cheaper considering the condition of the property. I would stay here again if I just needed somewhere to sleep for one night because of the location and convenience, but I wouldn't recommend it for a stay longer than one night.
