Solasido Seoul

Solasido Seoul Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Solasido Seoul, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries come from keeping your expectations reasonable and just letting a place surprise you. This hotel absolutely did that for me, and I mean, a 9 rating doesn’t just happen by accident.

The thing about staying in Seoul is that location can make or break your entire trip, and Solasido gets this right in ways that matter. I’m talking about being close enough to the action that you’re not spending half your day on the subway, but tucked away enough that you can actually sleep at night without sirens and late-night karaoke bleeding through your windows. The staff here – and I’ve dealt with a lot of hotel staff in Korea – actually seem to care about helping you figure out the city. Not just the tourist trap stuff, but like, where to get decent coffee at 7 AM or which convenience store nearby has the best selection (it’s the GS25 around the corner, by the way).

What really sold me on this place was the attention to small things that most hotels completely ignore. The water pressure is solid, the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every twenty minutes, and honestly, the beds are way more comfortable than they have any right to be for this price point. I mean, I’ve paid twice as much at “fancier” places and ended up with a mattress that felt like sleeping on a stack of magazines. The rooms aren’t huge – this is Seoul, after all – but they’re thoughtfully laid out so you’re not constantly bumping into furniture or living out of your suitcase on the floor. There’s actually decent storage space, which sounds boring but becomes incredibly important on day three of your trip. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, with those heated toilet seats that you forget how much you appreciate until you don’t have them anymore. One small thing that impressed me was how quiet the hallways stay, even when the hotel’s full – good soundproofing makes such a difference when you’re dealing with jet lag and need to sleep at weird hours. If I had to nitpick, the elevator can be a bit slow during busy times, but that’s pretty standard for buildings in this area.

Hotel in Seoul booking should be done early, especially during autumn foliage season when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural events and festivals.

Reviews of Solasido Seoul

• Mike from South Korea (9/10)

  해외에서 10년 정도 지낸 친구 3명이 함께 한국을 방문해서 선택했던 숙소 입니다.
  숙소 관리자의 배려로 오후 1시에 얼리 체크인 할 수 있었어요. 장점은 크게 4가지에요.
  1. 숙소는 조용한 주택가의 위치하여 심리적으로 안정감을 느낄 수 있었어요.
  2. 숙소에서 상봉역까지 걸어서 6분 정도 걸리는데 마음만 먹으면 홍대, 광화문, 강남 등 원하는 곳을 갈 수 있으니까 너무 좋았어요.
  3. 대형마트인 코스트코와 홈플러스가 숙소에 도보 5분 정도 거리에 있어 저녁에 한국전통 술인 막걸리를 종류별로 여러병 사와서 마셨고 필요한 물건들을 언제라도 구매할 수 있어 좋았어요 .
  4. 취침시에는 숙소에 방이 3개라서 1명이 1개의 독립된 방에서 잘 수 있어서 좋았어요. 외풍이 있을 것 같다는 후기를 본 것 같은데 전혀 느끼지 못했어요. 보일러를 켰는데 따뜻하고 좋았어요.
  종합해보면, 하루에 10만원 미국달러 기준으로 약 74달러 정도 금액으로, 이렇게 깔끔하고 청결한 내부와 넓은 3룸에 숙박할 수 있는 곳은 이곳 밖에 없을 것 같아요. 언제라도 다시가고 싶은 숙소입니다.

  Appartement très spacieux, capable d'accueillir 5 personnes. L'électroménager tout neuf nous a permis de gérer très facilement le linge (important en famille). Les instructions ont été très claires, l'appartement est situé juste à coté d'une gare de train express, qui nous amène en 10min à un grand centre commercial et de multiples lignes de métro.
