Lavilla Hotel  |  Hotel in Nokbeon-dong

The room was average and not correctly cleaned. Barely see a reception crew. The room was not equipped for foreigners as there was no plug adapters nor easy ways to charge phone. Last but not least, I had to checkout 1 day earlier due to an emergency and they refused to refund or give alternatives. I will not stay there ever again.

Room was not bad, but there is no closet. Biggest issue was a safety hazard. There was a door that seemed like it would lead to a balcony but when you open the door, it's just the edge of a building and you could fall off the building. Very scary.

Pros: Checkin was brainless, passport check and card pickup, it lasted 3 minutes. But I was lucky that someone was there. Internet is excellent. The view from the bedroom is nice. Cons: BED is the major issue in this hotel, it is terrible, hard like wood, I had awful night sleeps every day, I asked a pillow top which they didn't have, asked for a blanket to make more comfy, that hardly helped. Towels, since checkin we had one big towel, every day I had to ask for another (we were 2) every day they cleaned the room they left one and removed the other, last day I was so annoyed that I gave up calling desk and we shared a towel. My wife asked for a towel one day and was confronted with: “you already have a towel.” Language barrier aside, that’s downright rude, it’s your mistake to begin with. Hotel lobby is non-existent, no chairs, just a sorry microwave and a tiny sound system, many times not even the clerk was there just some guests waiting to be taken care of not knowing if they were on right place. Don’t expect much help from the staff, they barely speak English. Avoid this place.

Stayed 7 nights, the hotel make up the room everyday which we really like it. The room and the bathroom are large, just like the pictures. Late October very cold, we did not have a heater. We asked the front desk our last night. He ran the heater for 30 minutes. But later night it was very cold. The bed is very firm. My husband likes it, but for me very hard did not sleep well for 7 nights.

Our room has a nice view, clean room.

Clean, safe, super cute!

Excellent service, welcome by the receptionists, and room. Thank you!

Nice, clean, and friendly staff

While this hotel isn’t centrally located, it’s conveniently close to two subway stations, making its location far from a drawback. The neighborhood offers an authentic, local vibe with minimal tourist traffic, giving you the unique experience of living like a true Seoul resident.

I was traveling with my friends for 2 weeks and decided to stay longer in Korea. I stayed at Lavilla Hotel during my solo trip for 17 nights. Clean hotel, the room was perfect with a good view and there were no problems during my stay. The staff was very helpful and kind! They helped me with directions, recommendations and ordered a taxi to the airport. The owner is super friendly and speaks English very well, he made my stay at Lavilla very comfortable. I will definitely be back at this hotel again in the future! Lavilla Hotel is located in a very quiet area with nearby train stations just a few minutes away, convenience stores open all night, small restaurants and markets. This hotel is perfect if you want to see another side of Seoul. Unfortunately there is no washing machine at the hotel, but just a few walking minutes away there is a self laundry room called "Wash Friends" on Naver map. The instructions for the washing machines were all in Korean but it was easy to understand with the translating app Papago.
