Everyone liked it the first time and so we stayed there again. We were happy to come back to a familiar place. The hotel also has a scale to weigh our luggage. This helped us sort through things before we took the nearby airport bus. ##### Judilyn Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Great location The hotel is in a great location, 5 minute walk from the airport bus and nearest metro, and a few seconds to the bus stop that will take you into Myeongdong or Dongdaemun. The view from my room on the 9th floor was beautiful and one of the best things about my stay. The room itself is not the prettiest or most welcoming-looking, and the bed was very hard compared to what I'm used to, but I got used to it quickly and I had a really nice time there. The staff are also super friendly, and I was even allowed to check in 2 hours before the official time as my room was already ready. This was great after having travelled for 17 hours and not something I've experienced at any other hotel I've stayed at in Korea. ##### Rachel Stayed 13 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lela Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Provided free water ##### Lela Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Xiao Lin Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The place looks like a student residence, in my room the sink in the kitchen area is not working.

People who complain that it’s old should spend more of their money and go to some fancy hotel where the service can be very impersonal. The Merlin is small but the personnel have big hearts. I definitely would check in here should I visit again. ##### Rose Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amarjargal Jan 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### For me I wanted to repair the place where I stayed for 4 nights. size, cleaning, and service are no problem. The color of the wallpaper and the place seemed very old. The toothbrush was bad, I thought I needed a big towel. the location was beautiful ##### Amarjargal Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yae sup Nov 5, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities So frustrated! They need to be remodeling all. So, so, poor and dirty. ##### Yae sup ### 4/10 Poor #### John Oct 15, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The sink and washer were both broken they were way to relaxed about security. The code to my room, and many rooms was 1234. When I asked for a new key I didn’t show ID. Just gave them my room number and they printed one out. The worst part was that the pillows and mattress were incredibly uncomfortable. Can’t get past that. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### GERVACIO Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 1st time in Seoul for our group. The photos on the website were not what we expected. Room was rather small and could have used some refurbishment. There was a loft, but you could not stand there… I had to crawl from the ladder to my bed. What made up for the room was the staff. Very helpful! They provided free bottled water and had a laundry service across the street for us. The hotel was close to one of the subway stations and rather convenient. Would we stay there again?…. Probably not as it was too small for us. What made it okay was the staff’s friendliness and we were only there to shower/sleep since we were out the whole 7 days we stayed there. Also, get a room on the opposite side of the street as the sun makes the room very warm (even with the A/C) on. ##### GERVACIO Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### MAKOTO Oct 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness フロントスタッフの方が大変フレンドリーで感じかよかったです。地下鉄の駅にも近く、移動も便利でした。 ##### MAKOTO Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shinji Oct 19, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities コスパが良くない。スタッフは日本語、英語が堪能！ ##### Shinji Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TOMOTAKE Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 韓国ソウル旅行のベースとしてエクスペディアで予約しました。 エクスペディアからは明確な予約確定通知が来なかったので直電で予約確認をした上で訪れました。 ロケーションは最寄りの駅が「忠武路」で明洞からは一駅、ソウルからも三駅の好立地でした。 バス停もすぐ近くにあり大変便利でした。 ご人家族なのでどんな部屋かと心配していましたが、いざチェックインしてみると最上階のロフト付きの部屋で、下層にはシングルベッドが3つ、ロフトにマットの寝床が2つと言う設定でした。 アメニティーは歯ブラシと髭剃り以外は揃っていたかと思います。 何よりフロントのオバサマとオジサマがとても愛想が良く親切で、その上ロビーには無料のミネラルウォーターと朝はコーヒーとバナナケーキが振る舞われとても助かりました。 ベッドは硬めですが総評価としてはかなり好印象でした、お勧めです。 ##### TOMOTAKE Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### y Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities 少しカタコトだけど日本語対応してくれる男性の方と普通に流暢にお話できる女性の方がいました。 でも、常にフロントに常駐しているわけではなく、呼び出しボタンもないので、何かあった時はすぐ呼べないかもしれません。 外出する際は、常にカードキーを持参し、帰るときにフロントに置いてある返却皿に戻しました。 今回、泊まったシャワー管理はシャンプー、ボディーソープが全く補充されてなかったので、持参必須した方がいいです。 ##### y Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ayaka Nov 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 受付の方は日本語喋れて、スムーズにチェックインできたのでよかったです。 部屋の匂いが独特で気になりました。 ##### Ayaka Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sylvie Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### parfait nous avons passé un excellent sejour gentilesse, renseignements sur les visites à faire, eau café thé gratuit confort de la chambre et belle vue ##### sylvie Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### LI CHING Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 從忠武路8號出口出來，一直直走，看到橘色建築就到了，這次是住樓中樓，可以攤開行李箱，整體還不錯，下次會在入住 ##### LI CHING Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ##
