had the most pleasant stay at Mangrove Sinseol in my recent trip to Seoul! The room was spacious, and the staff was easily contactable through an online chat (very responsive too). Mangrove Sinseol is conveniently located near Sinseol-dong station, with a direct bus (6002) from Incheon Airport. It also has many bus services nearby that directly connects the place to other tourist places in Seoul. Would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Seoul.

Love the concept of this hotel. The staff are all well versed with English. Easy to communicate. There’s a bus stop just right infront of this hotel makes travelling so easy ! There’s not tv in the room and they only do room cleaning every 6 days. Do take note if you’re expecting daily cleaning hotel concept. Overall is a nice and pleasant stay while in Seoul. The room is compact, small but have everything you need.
