Roaster Block Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Roaster Block? The name actually makes perfect sense once you step inside – there’s this incredible coffee aroma that just wraps around you the moment you walk through the lobby. I mean, they take their roasting seriously here, and honestly, it’s one of those details that immediately tells you this place gets it.

The 4-star rating feels just right for what they’re offering. It’s not trying to be some stuffy luxury property, but everything works exactly as it should. My room had this really thoughtful layout – you could actually spread out your stuff without playing Tetris with the furniture, which is rarer than it should be these days. The beds are properly firm (none of that sinking-into-quicksand nonsense), and I actually slept through the night without any street noise issues. The Wi-Fi was fast enough that I could video call home without apologizing for lag every two minutes.

What really impressed me was how the staff handled things – they clearly know their regulars, but they made me feel like I’d been coming there for years too. Check-in was smooth, no weird surprises about fees or policies. The whole vibe feels like someone who actually travels designed this place, not a committee in a conference room. That 9.8 rating isn’t inflated either – I’ve stayed at places that charge twice as much and deliver half the experience. The common areas have this lived-in comfort that makes you want to hang out with a book instead of hiding in your room. And honestly, that coffee situation I mentioned? It’s not just for show – they’ll make you a proper cup anytime, not that lobby machine stuff that tastes like disappointment. If you’re looking for somewhere that does the fundamentals really well without any pretentious nonsense, this place nails it.

Reviews of Roaster Block

  • Terina from Australia (10/10)

    The property is located in a small quiet street, easy to access and a short walk to the nearest station. The property is clean and well styled, the beds and pillows were so soft it felt like we were sleeping on a cloud! It is on the smaller side but was very suitable for us as there was two persons and we weren’t at the accommodation much. Taxis can drop you off to the front easily but we felt very safe for two girls at night. There is a 711 about a minute walk too. The host is wonderful!! Super friendly and helped us with our directions to navigate the train lines when we landed. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!! 😊😊

  • Abigail from United Kingdom (9/10)

    We loved the apartment – super clean, very modern and cosy. There was lots of amenities (steamer, coffee machine, lots of lighting, TV, modern bathroom, comfy bed, aircon throughout). We also appreciated how big the flat felt, the second room was used as a place to store the cases but could be good for a family too. They provided eggs, milk, ramen and water for us which was a very kind touch.

  • Katarzyna from Poland (10/10)

    Samodzielne mieszkanie, wyposażone we wszystko co może być potrzebne (szybkie wi-fi, głośnik do muzyki, naczynia kuchenne, kosmetyki, piękne książki dla dzieci po angielsku). Dwie osobne sypialnie więc jest to miejsce idealne dla rodziny lub przyjaciół.
    Można się samodzielnie zameldować i wymeldować. Przylecieliśmy do Seulu przed godziną zameldowania i mogliśmy zostawić bagaże.
    Mieliśmy świetny kontakt z Terry, naszym gospodarzem. Bardzo szybko odpowiadała na nasze pytania.
    Dobra lokalizacja, blisko metra. Dużo restauracji w pobliżu.

  • Kwak from South Korea (10/10)

    위치도 아주 좋고 새로 리모델링하셔서 깔끔합니다. 라면, 커피 등 먹을 것도 구비되어 있고 침구도 깨끗해서 아주 편안하게 이틀 간의 시간을 보낼 수 있었습니다. 특히 가격이 싼 편이라서 가성비가 좋으며 방이 두 개나 되어 여러 명이 묵기에도 적합합니다.
