“A good hotel”

Be aware that although the hotel states that all its rooms are non-smoking, it is NOT true. Certain floors are for smoking. This should be made clear in the promotional materials. Also, there are noises from subway construction. Otherwise, the hotel is very good. I enjoyed staying there.

“Needs to be remodeled and cleaned”

The Ramada Seoul is very dirty - windows, carpets, and furniture need to be cleaned. The lamp on the desk could only be turned off by unplugging it and the outlet by the desk to use a computer sent off sparks when I tried to plug in my laptop. The air conditioning didn't work well and when I tried to open the window if almost fell out as the hinges had unhooked. This hotel was twice as expensive as a hotel I had just stayed at in Shinjuku, Tokyo which had much better service and was clean! I would not recommend staying at the Ramada Seoul.

“A nice, convenient hotel!”

Stayed at the Ramada Seoul for about two weeks and enjoyed my stay! My room on the 10th floor was clean, quiet & had a nice view of the city. The bathroom was clean & very nice, with what appeared to be marble on the walls & floor. The bed, a single queen size, was very comfortable. The hotel staff were friendly and quite helpful. The Ramada Seoul is located in Gangnam-gu, within easy walking distance (if you don't mind walking several blocks) of two subway stations (lines 2 & 7). COEX Mall is one subway stop or about a 15 minute walk away. In addition, there is a cultural/historical park located behind the hotel with nice wooded walking paths (some hills!). An airport shuttle bus stops in front of the hotel every 30 minutes, beginning at 5:00a.m. Tickets for the shuttle are very inexpensive. I had a very pleasant stay & would definitely lodge there again!

“Ramada Seoul”

Stayed in the hotel only a few nights. Surrounding area has a lot of places to eat, albeit a bit noisy with construction, not the hotels fault. Internet is free in the room which is a bit of a let down and the lobby is too small to accommodate the "free" internet I could never connect to. Possibly because the room was a bit smaller then expected my room had mold and in it, and there were no batteries for the safe. Overall, I slept fine, and did not spend much time in the hotel itself so would certainly try to avoid this hotel though the location was very good.

“Okay but could be much better”

The Ramada Seoul is in a convenient location on the southern side of the Han river. There are some good points and bad points about this hotel. The good points: 1) Location. The Ramada is reasonably near two major subway (metro) lines, and a an extension of a 3rd one (the '9 line') will run right outside. It is also near the Coex convention center and shopping mall, which is a very nice and reasonably priced mall. 2) Price. Compared with many Seoul hotels (and other big city hotels) this Ramada is reasonably priced. 3) The restaurants and club room. The restaurants are fine and convenient. The club room for those staying on the executive floors, is also very nice, and serves good food all day and a nice dinner-like happy hour from 6 to 8pm. It is well worth it to pay for the executive room just to get that clubroom included. The not-so-good: 1) The rooms are small. They can't do much about that in the short run, though, and they are probably adequate for most travelers travelling alone. 2) The fixtures in the room are old. The beds are low, small, and very hard. The TV is old and the channel selection so-so, unless you understand Korean. Very few international channels. They should bring in the Discovery Channels that are available in Asia, National Geographic, and the BBC channels. They have a very limited selection of each. This they can fix soon and should. 3) Although you can control the room temperature, the controller works very poorly. This they can fix also.

“Nice hotel for a good price”

I decided to stay here based on price and location, but was a little worried about some of the customer reviews I read. The hotel is actually not bad at all. The location is very good. Just a few blocks too far from the COEX to walk, but is surrounded by restaurants and shops. The room was nice. There were a couple of small things that could be replaced, but nothing major. I stayed on the top floor (14th) where there is also a club lounge. A nice quiet place to have a late night drink and some snacks. Overall, I reccomend the hotel based on price and location. Tip: the Airport limosine shuttle stops here and is only $15. Takes about an hour if you arrive outside rush hour

“IT IS OK!”

Excellent location. Easy to get to from the airport using KAL Limousine. Coffee shop extremely expensive, $12 for a cup of coffee and $15 for an orange juice. The lounge on the 14th floor is good and NO charge if you book an executive room. The room is very small for executive but at least they give you free internet. Otherwise it is $15 per day. Lightining in the room very poor.

“Comfortable stay, best for men.”

This hotel has an amazing basement level spa; it is like a mini-city! Various pools/tubs, saunas, a movie theatre with recliners, resturant and barber shop/massge parlor are all a part of it. However, the one downside is it is MEN ONLY. For the females, there is just a single steam room in the locker room of the fitness center. However, their locker rooms are fully equipped with quality amenities (such as lotions, shampoo, conditioners, etc.). The room itself was very comfortable and spacious, with fluffy feather blankets and pillows. No DVD player and the TV was a CRT, so bring entertainment if you're spending any good amount of time in the room. The area around the hotel is currently under heavy construction; they are building many new hotels/buildings and the road is all torn up for a new subway station. Once completed the location will be great! As it is, the nearest station is a hilly 10-minute walk from the hotel. But there is also a large, very green park right behind the hotel that has historical monuments in it, which makes for a nice walk! There are plenty of coffee shops and a Baskin Robbins in the area, so finding a place to eat and chill isn't hard at all.

“Not your typical Ramada”

I picked this hotel because of its location close to friends we were visiting. I was a little skeptical of a Ramada but pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean, comfortable and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is located next to a delightful park that was great for a morning stroll and also close to the subway. I would definitely return.
