IP Boutique Hotel, Itaewon - Soul

Viihtyisä,moderni hotelli keskeisellä paikalla hyvien kulkuyhteyksien päässä. Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Hotellin henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja kielitaitoista. Sijainti karttaan on merkitty väärin; hotelli sijaitsee aivan Itaewonin varrella, toisin kuin kartta antaa ymmärtää.

When I read about this hotel it seemed very good and my expectations was really high. Unfortunately I was rather disappointed. The hotel is in an excellent area, and the room is clean, but apart from that I don't have much good to say about it. There is a club in the basement that makes a lot of noice, even to the 7th floor! The shower is so low that […] I had kneel down to get under it. The gym was crap. The last day, the A/C stopped working and we were slow-cooked in our room before we could get stand alone unit in there. It simply does not deserve all the recommendations and awards, it is just an average hotel in a great location. Lisätietoja

Enjoyed the stay...nice hotel....close to many restaurants...near train station. But room wasn't made up on 1 day and toilet flushes automatically throughout the night sometimes. Overall, still enjoyed the stay as location was good. Loved that the airport limo #6030 stops just across the street.

great location, gread surrounding neighbourhood and good for partying !!

We booked a standard double room for 4 nights in April 2012 but were upgraded to a junior suite during the whole stay. It was a pleasant surprise indeed! The hotel is new and well maintained. The frontline employees are able to converse in English and we had no problems asking them for directions to nearby places of interest. The cafe at the hotel lobby […] serves reasonably priced food. We are fully satisfied with the service and location of the hotel. Our only complaint is that the corridors are too dark and could pose safety problems to the young and elderly patrons of the hotel.

The location is out of the center city area. The wifi access in the room was not that efficent. Small room, noisy location and need better care in terms of cleanness of the bathroom. However, very nice staff, always ready to help you.

there's a club at the basement of the hotel. noise could be heard on as high as 8/F. Luckily we're so exhausted after sightseeing and were not wakened up by the music. But we saw a couple yelled at the frontdesk concierge as they just couldn't sleep because of the noise.

Always great here. Highly recommended

Hotel is good, management nice but the hotel host a disco at the basement which work on Fridays and Saturdays. I stayed on the 8th floor just above the disco and could not sleep untill 5 am, having to wake up at 5:45!. THE SUBWOOFERS WERE SO LOUND THEN THE ENTIRE ROOM WAS VIBRATING. Management of the hotel was nice but according to them the disco refused […] to reduce the volume of the woofer. Up to you to select this hotel. Lisätietoja

Great area, great service, great room, great bathroom wifi I totally enjoyed this stay (which made me get used to follow tripadvisor recommendations)

Unfortunately a nightclub recently opened in the basement of the hotel and the music continues even until 6am in the morning (!)

Can't go wrong with this hotel. However be aware of the glass walled bathroom, it's okay if you are sharing with a close friend.

Overall a great choice. Would recommend, easy access via airport bus but confusing. Multiple posts mention bus 6060, we took 6030 and all was well. Seems to be some confusion between tourist information vs the actual bus ticket selling counter. Front desk staff super helpful. Stayed on top floor with bay window, no noise.

very convenient location celan hotel, but nearby restaurants are expensive..

This boutique hotel suffers like many with a style over substance problem. A supposed 4 star hotel! The staff are friendly and have decent English language skills, the lobby is very cool, but the rest of the hotel does not meet what I would expect for the price price. The room service menu is unimaginative and inadequate, and service stops at 10 or […] 10:30pm. The room had a comfortable bed and duvet, but with no sheets. The room itself was in need of paint and new carpet which was thoroughly stained. It had the most poorly designed hotel bathroom I have ever seen. No privacy in the shower, toilet or sink if there are two people, a sink that was far too low, no electrical outlet for a shaver next to the mirror, and a designer spout that spatters the crotch of your pants when you wash your hands and no hook for a robe or a bath towel! The hallways were unexplainably dark, almost too dark to read your room number on the door. There is the usual claim to encourage "green" use of bathroom towels, but if you have your laundry done by this hotel, each and every item will be returned in its own plastic bag! (and it will smell like it was never cleaned.The hotel has a lot of singe stating its merits and rewards, but I cannot find any evidence that the IP Boutique deserves them. Lisätietoja

This hotel was fantastic. Easy access from the ICN airport (limo bus 6060 with a stop right in front of hotel). The staff were always friendly and eager to help. Room was clean and very modern style. The bathroom is a bit a trip... all glass walls (mostly frosted) and bright lighting so if you are sharing the room with someone make sure he/she is a […] good friend. Buffet breakfast was good and the price is reasonble for this area. Fitness room was pretty good for a hotel this size. Lisätietoja

It is a nice hotel. I chose this hotel because of the good comments shared by the hotel guests. I was not disappointed, I had a good time there, very convenient to and from the airport. I have no hesitation to recommend this hotel to you!

I booked this hotel because it was right in front of the airport limousine shuttle service... very easily accessible for a non-Korean speaker's first visit!! However, I soon found out that getting to most of the touristy places (e.g. Dongdaemon, Myeongdong, etc) typically took 2-3 train exchanges (with MANY flights of stairs in between) and up to 30min. […] Not a big deal if you've lots of time to spare and don't mind some exercise. But quite a pain if it's freezing cold out, and you're tired from all day shopping! Oh, not to mention, the subway is a good 5-10min uphill walk on the way home. Apart from the above, Itaewon is actually a pretty nice neighborhood to stay in. The food is GREAT compared to most of the more touristy & kiddy places in Myeongdong. The staff speak English well, and are able to recognize & address you by name. Loved the Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries, but i wished they provided body lotion too!!! Lisätietoja

Apart from breakfast (which was OK but not great) IP Boutique is a great little hotel. Couple of minutes walk to Itaewon and its restaurants etc. Very friendly hotel. Room was not huge but well equipped and very clean. Definitely would go back.

Hotel is in a great location in Itaewon. The staff is excellant and attends to any needs. Would highly recomend for any stay in Seoul

Typical Boutique hotel, nice design , looks fancy , very clean , really perfect for a short visit to seoul, but it has not fancy facilities , no spa,gym or pool or anything like this. Other then that its great, also good location for foreign speakers, since you can get around Itaewon easier then anywhere else. Only negative thing was the smell on […] the floor we were staying, it smelled really strange. But that must have been a temp thing. Lisätietoja

The location of the hotel is what really makes this place great! It's right in front of the airport limousine bus, close to many shops/restaurants/clubs, and fun to walk around at night. Hotel staff spoke English, and was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is well kept - very large rooms. The bathroom is awesome and modern. I didnt like […] the tacky colors/furniture (mine had bright green patent lather sofas). The hallways are creepy dark though, they need to turn on the lights. Other than that, perfect hotel! Lisätietoja

The hotel was really nice, clean, modern and well appointed. The rooms were really well decorated and very comfortable. On our first night the fan in our bathroom was noisy and there was no way to turn it off. We spoke with reception in the morning and they very quickly moved us into a new room that was just as nice but didn't have the same problem. The […] location of the hotel in regards to subway stations isn't bad, about 5 min walk to the nearest stop. However the surrounding area is very westernised and not all that nice (no good shops) although there were some lovely restaurants. Over all a very nice place to stay if you want to be in this area. Lisätietoja

A very nice hotel. Good Service (f.e. took half a day to clean laundry, then the expected 1 day) Price is ok. Location in walk-distance

Clean hotel close to the Seoul metro. It can be loud at times due to the proximity to the street (I stayed on the seventh floor).

The hotel is in an excellent location! The decor is funky. The lobby appears friendly but staff ... not so much. The rooms are cool -unique and well decorated, the bathroom comfortable and large, but our room was not vacuumed when we arrived. There was a dirty spoon left from someone's prior stay, and then the next day, although, they had made the room […] (kinda) the floor was still not vaccumed, the spoon was still on the floor and they did not replenish shampoo-conditioner-shower-etc...

IP Boutique is located in Itaewon - an area that has a lot of western restaurants/fastfood (McDonalds, BurgerKing, ColdStone Brewery, KFC) because of its proximity to the army base. The limobus from the Incheon airport dropped us off right across the street of the hotel (about an hour ride on the most comfortable bus). The hotel is very boutique-y - […] oversized couch and swings in the lobby, elevator that looks like a luggage, dimly lit hallways, and glass walls for the bathroom, which all add to the uniqueness of the hotel. The hotel rooms are a little tight (more like your average city hotel) but the comfy bed and bathroom makes up for it. We all raved about the toilet - heated seats, automatic flush, bidet and dryer. Hotels in America should have this type of toilets! IP Boutique is also close to the subway and bus stops. Korea is very tourist-friendly and there is a tourist information office about two blocks away, right in front of the Hamilton Hotel. Look for the tourist info people wearing red jackets. They recommended taking the Seoul City Tour bus, which is a hop on/hop off bus complete with headsets and description of key destinations in Seould translated in various languages (English, German, Chinese, Japanese, etc.). We highly recommend this as it was a great way to get a lay of the land. In terms of food around the hotel, we ate at the Maple Leaf Restaurant, a Korean bbq place our first night there. The food was tasty and service was great. We thought that the prices were reasonable but it ended up being the most expensive place that we went to. Also ate breakfast at Rick Copycats All American Diner (at the request of a friend who was a bit homesick) - also pretty pricey compared to other areas in Korea with so-so food. We would recommend going to other areas to eat if you're looking for Korean food. Itaewon is known for having a diverse selection of restaurants but we were interested in enjoying Korean food so we didn't get to try out other ethnic rest Lisätietoja

Itaewon is America-town, definitely friendly to those with no knowledge of Korean, and even those who have no interest in knowing about Korea. It's next to the US military base, so there is a lot of english spoken at all the shops and restaurants in the area. While the hotel is a couple minutes walk from Itaewon station on Line 6, Itaewon station is […] not particularly convenient for getting to from the airport and KTX trains. (It's two transfers from the AREX. Of course, you could also just take a taxi from Seoul Station for a few dollars more.) The hotel is certainly quirky. The rooms are spacious by Asian standards, and the beds comfortable. No complaints. Didn't try the restaurant/breakfast, was absurdly expensive as always. (Walk down a few blocks to Tartine Too instead.) Also, despite being in the most well-connected country in the world, the wifi at the hotel is absolutely unusable. Not suitable for getting work done, and not stable enough for skype calls. Lisätietoja

The I P Boutique Hotel, Itaewon, is in a very convenient location for shopping. It is actually only about ~2000 Won more to take a taxi to shopping centers in Myong Dong and Dong Dae Mun than the subway and a lot faster time wise. As noted, the hotel hallways are very dark. I had an upper floor room, away from the main road, which kept it fairly quiet […] in the room. The washroom has NO door. Which makes it very loud if you are sharing a room. The glass, although frosted in the sensitive areas, takes some getting used to. The room is comfortable overall, the bed, duvet were of a high quality. I found the spoken level of English of the staff to be of an excellent level. Stayed as a couple. Nov 2011 Lisätietoja

excellent hotel with an interesting experience beyond the regular hotel chains

I have about 100 hotel nights every year and this was a posetive experience. Good location and nice design, very good beds, something you dont find at all hotel in asia.

This is a boutique hotel..located in a good area with direct airport limousine bus #6060..Staff speaks good english which is a boon. Subway station very nearby with scores of eateries and a convenience store right next-door. Highly recommend this to visitors not too familiar to Seoul especially if you need english-speaking hotel staff. Only minus may […] be the 'naughty,semi-transparent' bathroom. Not for those who wants 100% privacy. Corridor is not as dark as some reviews say..You get used to its dimness after awhile. For its price..these are minor trade-offs. Lisätietoja

The hotel is much better than we expected, very clean and stylish. Bathroom is very modern with perfect water pressure. We upgraded to deluxe room which fits all three of us in the room. The location is convenient and the surroundings are all western restaurants too. We were all happy about the hotel overall. The internet speed might be a bit slow, […] but everything else is perfect! Lisätietoja

Room was great. Spacious and clean and neat style. Only bad things were hallways were creepy dark and Seoul drivers love to use their horns. Street view rooms were nice but you may want to ask for a side room. Otherwise, great hotel choice. Close to subway and right at end of Itaewon's shopping street.

Good hotel for runners and or park lovers. The hotel is near Namsan Park.

It's very clean! The design is cute too especially the bathroom- it's all glass and the toilet automatically flushes which is really cool! The location is very convenient! It's near shopping, restaurants, subway station, and the airport limousine bus stop is just outside the hotel which is very convenient! I woulddefintely recommend this hotel and […] stay there again when we come back to South Korea! Lisätietoja

The hotel was great, except that the aircon temperature is not working well - we still feel warm despite setting the temp at 22 degrees. Also, the corridor was very dark, there should be some lights so that there won't be any chances of falling or tripping.

Overall the hotel is quite nice surrounded by nice neighborhoold. Room is kinda small with price range a little bit higher than my thought. Sound proof is not that well so you can hear people from the hallway.

Disappointed that the wireless internet did not work and no one on staff could correct the issue. Had to use hard wired computer in lobby. Hotel was scheduling a technician for service...but after my departure.

I stayed here for two different weekends while in Korea. It is located in Itaewon close to lots of restaurants familiar to a US visitor and many foreign ones at wells. Its close to the night clubs, Army base, and war memorial. There is a subway station nearby. Hotel was nice and clean and had an awesome toilet.

This is a very nice hotel. Great location, all around tops. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. However, two things bothered me: (1) The hall doors to the rooms are extremely noisy. The hinges are spring loaded and the doors slam shut when released. This creates a loud reverberating sound that is heard through the walls & throughout the floor. Especially […] annoying between 9am and 1pm when maids are in and out and quests are leaving. I was sick in bed; the repeated slamming of doors kept me awake for several hours. (2) The mini-bar, (small thing, but annoying just the same) is overpriced and overstocked. Had to remove entire stock to allow any space for own personal food stuff. There is a 7-11 next door at half the price if you want junk food & snacks. These are both pet peeves of mine that I find in many hotels these days, Otherwise, great stay, loved the hotel and would recommend anytime. . Lisätietoja
