GLAD Hotel Yeouido, Seoul

14 Uisadang-daero, Yeoui-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

Excellent - would consider booking GLAD Yeouida again in the future.

Huge room with a massage chair (Bodyfriend brand), sofa, desk, walk-in shower - overall good value for money.

The only negative was the small size of the one window in comparison to the large room which prevented natural light to be enjoyed. Also the lighting was dimmed, which made us sleepy when trying to relax in the afternoon after exploring the neighbourhood. Could have benefited from an extra chair in the room since there is plenty of room.

Amazing hotel

Friendly cleaning staff, cleaned the room so well. Loved the window for fresh air. Room was so spacious and well thought out with a dresser, open clothing rack with bench underneath and the bathroom was nice and big. Bidet was high tech and state of the art. I loved that the floors were NOT carpet.

No microwave in my room.

Good location, friendly staff and value for money

The rooms are clean and quiet. Although my room was close to the lift, I couldn’t hear any noise. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would consider to choose this hotel again next time.

The time for breakfast is too short. It would be more convenient to travellers that the hotel can provide toothbrush, toothpaste and spoons in the room.

This was my second stay at the hotel after a brief checkout period to visit elsewhere. I chose to return to this hotel as I enjoyed its amenities, location, quietness during my first stay. Special mention to check in staff member Sandy who enabled us to check in earlier this second time.. In an earlier review I mentioned about the design of the room that there is a sink in the corridor area within the same enclosure with the bedroom. This room I stayed in was the same design. Now this is not a negative. It's just the design of the room, just that those who wish to shave in the sink area would have to contend with essentially shaving in the bedroom area.This is not a negative for me as I was able to work around this. Breakfast options were reasonable as well. Hotel located close to subway station and also there's an ATM in the hoteI, handy for those needing cash. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay in it again.

Nothing.

Firstly I want to thank the reception staff who were friendly, helpful and efficient!

A sense of space.

Where the property was situated meant there wasn’t a variety of shops facilities nearby!

Fun boutique-ish hotel.

Not far from central Seoul

Not much to dislike about this since it is more of a design issue of the room we were in and could be the same for all rooms but here I'm writing only about my room. The sink itself is located inside the main bedroom area along a corridor. It is not located in a closed area within the bathroom space, like one would normally find. For those who normally shave over the sink area, they will be doing so essentially within the main bedroom area.

I really enjoyed the bathroom , which was immaculate . I had fresh towels everyday. The hand soap and body wash had a really pleasant fragrance. The beds were very comfortable , managed to rest well. Room service was very punctual and the food I ordered was beyond delicious.

Great hotel and service. Location not super central but close to subway.

Great comfortable and clean rooms. Staff super friendly to help with anything that was needed - including adding boiling water to cook some rice cakes. Location super close to a subway stop.

Location is not super central to the touristy areas but still very close to subway stop. You would almost always have to take subway to get anywhere. If you wanted to have late night dining, options were extremely limited.

Amazing hotel in a very nice area!

Nice neighbourhood and nice location. Very easy to get there by direct bus from airport. Staff were very friendly and kind, room spacious, clean and very quiet. Bed extremely comfortable! I tried also the breakfast (buffet) and there were plenty of options, food quality very good!

There’s nothing I didn’t like.

The rooms were classy, comfy and the beds were superb! It is a really nice hotel with a great breakfast and nice staff. The location is OK, notice that you are in a business area not close to major sights for tourists.

Perfect location and comfortable stay

Location is excellent, especially for the person who comes from GMP airport. Subway station is just in front of the hotel and have elevator on exit. And there are many nice restaurants!

I can not find any things negatively evaluate this hotel. I always choose this accommodation for stay in Seoul. And I guess they have another hotel in Seoul, I would like to try another one.

Great base for Seoul to Busan cycle touring.

Very comfortable room. The staff were always friendly and helpful. They also had some staff who have very good English language skills which made communication easier. Bicycle storage is available but advisable to bring your own sturdy lock. The hotel was able to store luggage between stays if cycle touring. Located near bus and subway for easy access to city. Location is very close and convenient to Seoul to Busan cycle path and bike hire facility.

Nothing - I’d stay again.

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

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.

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.
