GLAD Hotel Yeouido, Seoul
Expert reviews
“Opened in late 2014, the 319-room GLAD Hotel may be in the Yeouido financial center, but this is no staid business hotel. Built by designer Suyong Joh’s Seoul-based firm, the hotel has a textural brick façade reminiscent of a traditional Korean home, park-like benches in the halls and quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt above the beds.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seoul.

Amazing hotel, well connected, a little bit out of the main attractions of the city
The room was quite big, bed was comfortable, had a the things needed. Very nice that the shuttle airport bus stop it’s just in front of the hotel!!
Quite expensive. The area is really good connected (metro and bus stations are just in front of the hotel door) but it’s a little bit out of the main attractions of the city

Exceptional
The staff at the front desk is very kind and helpful in every aspect. If Yeouido is one of the areas you target, this is the best place to stay.

Lovely stay in Yeouido
The staff was so lovely! The location is really good, next to the metro station and near one of the top cherry blossom locations in the city. It’s very clean as well.
The standard room was in need of renovation. Many room elements were just worn out. I also came at a time when a protester was blasting his opinions from 7:30am each day for 2 weeks of my stay, it was a bit tiring. If you’re sensitive to noise like me, I suggest bringing earplugs.

Fabulous
Location was very close to the National Assembly station with convenience stores nearby. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful.
The room was a bit dark if you need to do work from the desk. Some small plates or cutlery would be useful for having snacks/fruit in the room.

Close to public transport
A little bit out from the main parts of seoul. Most attractions required a 30 minute bus ride out.

Good stay to explore the Yeouido area and enjoy the Sakura season.
The location is very nice, just right away at the exit of the subway. The staff was very nice and helpful.
Due to it being the weekend we booked it, and I arrived quite late, there was only one street-facing room left and on a low floor.

It was pleasant. I will stay here again and recommend to my friends
Location was amazing and metro is right in front of it. Hotel itself was cool and our room was super spacious
Pillows and mattress was not comfortable.

Would love to stay again
The location was further away from the city centre, taking 20-30mins to go to area like Myeongdong. But given it’s the season for cherry blossom, made Yeouido a perfect location. The area is quiet at night, but with quite a number of restaurants nearby for meals. The popular Hyundai Seoul mall is within 20-25min walkable distance, via a peaceful park. The room is very spacious, and the bed is huge and comfortable. Facilities look new and staff are friendly.
The air conditioning in the room seems I adjustable, not sure if it’s just my room though.

Good value budget friendly hotel in Yeouido
Good value, nice budget friendly hotel in Yeouido. Staff were helpful and breakfast was a bit pricey but very good. It is right opposite the metro and airport limousine bus stops. So many restaurants and the beautiful Yeouido park on your doorstep. Liked the design of the room and the bed was really comfy.
