Hotel 8 Hours Overview
Look, I’ll be honest with you – Hotel 8 Hours isn’t trying to be the Ritz, and that’s exactly why I actually liked it. When I first walked in, I thought “okay, this is clearly designed for people who need a decent place to crash without breaking the bank,” and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
The name pretty much tells you everything – this place gets that not everyone needs a five-day resort experience. Maybe you’re catching an early flight, maybe you’re on a road trip and just need somewhere clean to sleep, or honestly, maybe you’re like me and just wanted a no-fuss place to stay without all the bells and whistles driving up the price. The rooms are surprisingly well thought out for what they are. I mean, the bed was actually comfortable (not always a given at three-star places), and they’ve got this smart setup where everything you need is within arm’s reach. The shower had proper water pressure – again, you’d be surprised how many places mess this up.
What really impressed me was how efficiently everything worked. Check-in took maybe two minutes, the Wi-Fi actually functioned properly, and the air conditioning didn’t sound like a freight train. The staff seemed to get that most people staying here just want things to work smoothly without a lot of fuss or fake cheeriness. There’s something refreshing about a place that knows exactly what it is and does it well. Sure, you’re not getting a concierge or room service, but the basics are solid, and sometimes that’s worth more than all the fancy extras that jack up your bill. I’ve stayed at supposedly fancier places that couldn’t even manage clean towels or functioning keycards, so Hotel 8 Hours’ straightforward approach was actually kind of a relief. The location worked out well for me too – easy to find, easy to get to, easy to leave from in the morning. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy luxury, keep scrolling. But if you want a place that delivers exactly what it promises without any surprises on your credit card statement, this spot definitely does the job.
Best hotels in Seoul range from luxurious properties in the upscale Gangnam district to boutique hotels with stunning views of Namsan Tower and the Han River.

Staff was friendly and spoke very good English. Very helpful and recommended things to do around Seoul.
Hotel was a 5 minute walk from the metro and many parts of the city were easily accessible. Around the hotel there were also many things to do and eat.Indriati from Netherlands (8/10)
The location is great. Just few minutes walk from city hall metro. The bathroom is clean and spacious for that size of the room. The receptionist was very friendly.
Judithanne from Philippines (9/10)
Very near restaurants. You could walk from here to Myeongdong but around 15-20 minutes. It has good facilities and the beds are comfortable and the restroom and toiletries are excellent. Theres a covenience store nearby and a lot of local restaurants you can choose from. The male staff can understand english .

Pearce from Australia (7/10)
Location is great..room kind of smaller than expected which means taking turns to open our suitcases so as not to get into each other's space. Rocky at reception is fantastic n cleaning team great. Loved to be able to access many eateries and the market and our enquiries for getting around responded positively always w smile 😃..kudos to Rocky.
