A pleasant, and reasonably cheap hotel

This is no 5-Star hotel. BUT... having said that, it turned out to be a very clean and very pleasant hotel, with capable, friendly and helpful staff who spoke English, rooms (at least the better upstairs room that we had) are a reasonably decent size, and with a quite large bathroom. As noted by other reviewers, the bathrooms do have a bath, with the shower above the bath, AND... no shower screen...! This meant that one has to learn a few tricks by using the hand-held shower head and trying not to be splashing too much water onto the tiled bathroom floor. But we soon learned to get around this slight annoyance. Breakfast (for what it is...) is included, run by a somewhat bossy, yet never-the-less quite pleasant Korean woman. Breakfast was the same every day, and comprised (at your option) coffee, tea, cereal, cup noodles, toast, butter, jam, some Korean preserved vegetables, and sliced ham. While certainly not fancy eating, it was tasty, filling, and enough to get us on our way each day. For those with back problems: The mattresses on the beds in this hotel are VERY firm, so if you need a soft mattress to sleep on, for whatever reason, then unfortunately you will not enjoy the beds at Hill House Hotel. I do have back problems, and the first couple of nights were more than a little uncomfortable for me, although my partner slept like a log. But I somehow adjusted my sleeping positions as the nights passed such that I was able to get some reasonable sleep each night. But some people might find these (presumably Korean traditional) very firm mattresses a bit hard to take. (Pun intended.) The hotel is located in what might seem to be some back-water of Seoul, and I guess to an extent it is. However, if you don't mind walking, it is barely 10 minutes walk for one of two Metro stations, and a 10-minute walk from the famous Myeong-dong shopping area, which itself is definitely worth a visit. So even though located in a very minor backstreet, we ALWAYS felt safe there at night, there is a 7-Eleven store at the end of the street, and a small supermarket just across and down a few doors from the 7-Eleven. Put simply, albeit the street area (and that last short steep hill walk) is not celebrious, it actually is in a very good location for access to a lot of the good things you will want to see and do while in Seoul. Even just a 10-15 minute walk to the N Seoul Tower, which is quite nearby. If ever we get back to Seoul again, then we would definitely consider staying at Hill House Hotel.…

Stylish Comfort Lodging close to National Arboretum

Not to be confused with the Hill Hotel in Soeul, No. 21 bus gets you here from Uijeongbu Metro Station. Set on the hill in a lovely but alas, short stretch of forest about 2km from Unesco Joseon Tombs, Botanical Park (sadly closed weekends) and 4km from Yongmunsa Temple and the fabulous private university and soon to be, organic cafe (all walkable and serviced by bus). Hotel has freshly fitted out rooms with good beds, large bathrooms and deep baths. Gorgeous views but small windows - can't see out due to height, mesh and bubblewrap over glass - keeping warm more important than the lovely view? Just don't get it! Strange reception area which is a stacked stone wall with a low slot where you have to bend over to have eye contact with the person checking you in. Was told it was traditional Korean - could not verify this with any other traditional Korean person. Rustic touches suit the setting. Breakfast was a healthy meal of Korean fare. Set back off the busy road, the hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Where it meets the road, a slight left and you can experience a wonderful traditional herbal "tea house" with fabulous array of gifts and artifacts. A relaxing Seoul getaway. Lots of cafes and eateries around. Korea's nature is best end May...and here birdsong is vibrant. Neighbours were noisy on 2nd night...pity!…
