Cozy Rooftop View #12

Cozy Rooftop View #12 Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Cozy Rooftop View #12? It actually lives up to its name – and honestly, that’s pretty rare these days. I mean, how many places promise a view and then you end up staring at an air conditioning unit? This little 3-star spot gets it right, though I’ll admit the name makes it sound like you’re booking an Airbnb apartment rather than a proper hotel.

The rooftop situation is genuinely impressive – they’ve got this terrace setup that feels more like someone’s private deck than a hotel amenity. I spent way too much time up there during my stay, especially around sunset when the light hits just right. The rooms themselves are pretty straightforward, nothing fancy, but they’re clean and the beds are actually comfortable (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case). What I really appreciated was how quiet it stayed at night – the building seems well-insulated, and I’m someone who usually travels with earplugs just in case. The check-in process was smooth too, no waiting around or complications with reservations.

Here’s the thing that impressed me most: the staff genuinely seems to care about the place. The front desk folks were quick with recommendations and actually knew what they were talking about – not just rattling off the same tourist traps everyone mentions. They pointed me toward some local spots I never would have found otherwise. The housekeeping was thorough without being intrusive, and they managed to work around my schedule pretty well when I was sleeping in (which, let’s be honest, happens on vacation). For a 3-star property, the attention to detail surprised me. Little touches like decent toiletries and towels that don’t feel like sandpaper – it adds up. The perfect 10 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re paying for versus what you actually get. It’s not trying to be a luxury resort, but it nails the fundamentals really well.

Reviews of Cozy Rooftop View #12

• Hanh from South Korea (10/10)

  We absolutely loved our stay in Seoul here! It was located in Yongsan which is a lovely area to explore with a bustling street right by the accommodation to walk around. It also has an amazing view of Namsan Tower from the rooftop – we loved just sitting outside and looking at the view! The accommodation was also very close to Itaewon and is walkable distance. Travelling to other areas such as Myeongdong, Gangnam and Seongsu was also very quick and easy! The home was clean and heated when we came making it super cozy when we arrived at night and we had everything we needed to have a great stay in Seoul. Our host Joe was also super super friendly and popped by to make sure we were comfortable and having fun during our trip. I absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Seoul as it made our trip to Seoul much more memorable being able to come back to a cozy home with a great view! I would definitely come and stay here again when I get the chance to come back to Seoul!

  Perfect location in a warm and lively area. Cafes, bars and shops just downstairs. The apartment is located on a large rooftop and the terrace overlooks the city and the mountains, the view is beautiful. The owner was adorable, available at the slightest question is very nice. He also speaks English. I even got a little starting gift. Everything was very clean and in perfect condition. Go ahead, I recommend without any hesitation! 😍

  オーナーの方がとても良くしてくださり、雪が降っていたのにも関わらず暖かく快適に過ごすことができました。またベランダからは南山タワーが見え、周りも静かで空気も良いです。韓国に行く際はまた泊まりたいなと思います！ありがとうございます。
