Ideal location for exploring Seoul

Staying at GLAD Mapo was a delight, especially due to its prime location right next to Gongdeok Station. This made accessing nearby attractions and the airport hassle-free. The room was clean, and I particularly appreciated the complimentary bottles of water supplied each day. The nearby restaurants, including a couple right within the building, served delicious local meals that felt authentically Korean, making our dining experiences truly memorable. The staff were helpful, allowing us an early check-in with no issue, which was a welcome bonus after our long flight.

However, we did face some minor issues. The shower head had a sharp edge that caused a few scratches during our stay. Also, the mains sockets seemed to malfunction occasionally, which was quite frustrating when trying to charge devices. Be mindful of this when selecting rooms on different sides of the bed. the charging situation could be tricky for couples with multiple devices. One last note—breakfast wasn’t included, which I felt should have been given the price point of the hotel.

Convenient location with clean, modern facilities.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay primarily due to the fantastic location right next to Gongdeok station, providing easy access to various attractions. The room was spacious and very clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my visit.

Air conditioning was a bit tricky.

Exceptional Service and Memorable Touches!

We enjoyed our 12-night stay, especially the warm gestures like a birthday surprise for my wife. The gym facilities impressed us, too. Proximity to local restaurants offering authentic Korean cuisine added to our dining pleasure. Tip, explore the nearby eateries for fantastic meals!

This was just a prime choice for a city break in Seoul with very good value for money. The convenience store in the lobby made it easy for late-night snacks and drinks during my stay. If you're planning to explore the city, consider getting a transportation card to make commuting smoother.

I had a fantastic stay! The room was spacious with an efficient layout. Plus, I loved that I could tuck the kids in early, have a quick coffee at nearby cafes, and not worry about my luggage thanks to their elevators. One downside was that there wasn’t a reservation for the hair shop like I expected.

Spent 5 nights in a Standard Double Room. The location is superb, with easy access to public transport and local cafes. Housekeeping was consistently on point, keeping the room clean. Amenities like the humidifier and electric clothes dryer were a plus, and the friendly staff made handling luggage effortless. However, the room felt a bit stuffy at times, and the noise from the street could be distracting.

We had a fantastic stay using Glad Mapo as our base for exploring all that Seoul has to offer. The convenience store in the lobby made it easy to grab snacks and the proximity to the metro allowed for easy access to cultural sites and great dining options. Plus, the rooms were clean and comfortable, perfect for our family including our service dog.

In my wife’s opinion, a laundry room would be great for families.

great location with great amenities

The location was ideal, within walking distance of a metro station that opened up various parts of the city. Our room was well appointed, featuring an iron and ironing board which was a nice touch for travelers. The nearby dining options were a pleasant surprise, offering authentic local Korean cuisine that added to our experience. We enjoyed a few meals in small restaurants off the beaten path that were bustling with locals.

However, the early airport train option was limited due to a locked entrance.
