This hotel was near the Sinseoldong Subway Station making it very easy to get to places by public transportation. Across the road from the hotel between the hotel and the subway station was a really excellent restaurant, Hymchan Jangeo. Something really nice about the hotel: there was a foreign currency exchange machine right in the lobby. Very convenient. The only complaint that I have is that the room was a little bit cramped. Given all the other positives, however, I really recommend this hotel.

Convenient, Safe, and Clean

Overall we loved our stay at IBC Hotel. Check in was easy. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The fridge was continuously stocked with water. Fresh towels and the shower essentials provided. The location was a short walk over to the subway station (Sinseol-dong) which was convenient. The neighborhood was quiet as much of it is residential. The hotel was across the street from E-Mart which also was nice. Felt safe in the area. The rooms could be a bit larger but you would be spending more money. Highly recommend.

Hotel was spacious for the price. Such a good deal. Great dinning options around the area ranging from 5 to 20 min walks. The area South of the hotel is nicer and there's an Smart where you can get water and fruit. Very close to subway that gives you access to two main lines.
