몬드리안 서울 이태원 5성

This is a swanky, millennial-core hotel with functional but spacious rooms and very friendly staff in Itaewon. Unfortunately, the location isn’t ideal if you’re not driving, being driven, or are traveling very lightly. Was able to check in early - room was ready at noon despite the ALL app suggesting a 3pm check in. Room had a decent view. Lights in the room are split - bathroom lights controlled by the panel near the entrance, while the bedroom lights (besides the lamp by the desk) are controlled by the bedside panels. Dual sided mirror from bathroom to bedroom/living area was nice touch. Overall, furniture is very millennial core (smaller, functional) but still cute and would look good in the background of a GRWM if that’s your thing. Amenities included Malin + Goetz co-branded lotion and soap, a daily bottle of “premium deep water” (tasted nice tbh), branded slippers, and mini cookies placed on your bed on arrival. As an ALL Gold member, I got my welcome drink coupon, along with two freshly baked chocolate and chocolate chocolate chip cookies delivered a few hours after check in. For transparency, I booked using a now defunct benefit that Ennismore had with Chase, so I had free breakfast (buffet style at Cleo - typical spread) and a $30 USD equivalent credit which I used on room service. I may have gotten an extra welcome drink coupon too but it’s moot since the promotion ended. Amenity wise, theres some good stuff. A gym and indoor pool - I used the former and it had a nice variety of machines, but weirdly no disinfecting wipes - along with an outdoor pool and rooftop bar. There’s also a little shopping area in the hotel’s basement. Nothing too interesting there - no shade - outside of a CU convenience store for when you want to do a snack run. They close at 9pm though so time accordingly. Speaking of planning! The nearest metro stop is a 16 minute walk, and the while there is a bus stop right nearby, when I arrived, I had to cross the overpass with my luggage which was not particularly fun. Also, this is presumably a result of Seoul’s transit system design, but you will be connecting modes for every single trip - at least two or three buses/trains, and at least a half hour each way, to go anywhere right outside the hotel. Granted, your trip will be shorter if you taxi everywhere, but if you’re going to be doing that anyway, why stay at a location right outside of the city center? There are several other properties right outside of metro stops or notable landmarks, and while this property is nice, I’m not sure if I’d stay here again if I had to take the amount of transit that I did on this last trip. Also, use NAVER, Google Maps is basically useless here. My only other gripe is also not hotel specific - Accor as a whole is weirdly low tech. This was my first stay at an Accor property, and I had to contact hotel staff via email or if I had questions and I wasn’t physically there (at other properties I’ve stayed at in Asia, they’ve texted despite me having a US number, or used the app). Staff was super helpful and responsive, but yknow, it is 2025 I feel like there’s a better way. Also in app check in or check out is not a thing. Accor doesn’t do that apparently. Odd. Not the property’s fault but considering how otherwise modern the hotel feels it’s oddly out of sync with places I’ve stayed that look way older in that regard.

배우자, 18개월 유아와 함께 첫방문했습니다. 발렛 주차 직원부터 프런트 직원까지 모두가 친절하게 해주셔서 매순간 기분 좋게 숙박할 수 있었습니다. 비교적 저렴한 가격에 최상의 수영장 및 피트니스 시설을 이용할 수 있는 가성비 최고의 호텔이라고 생각합니다.

일요일이라 그런지 층에 사람이 없어 조용히 묵을수 있었습니다. 동네는 한적해도 조금만 걸어나가면 이태원이라서 맛집이 많습니다. 수영장도 좋았습니다.

First time staying here and everything from the luxury design to the service is awesome! From the moment you arrive, they will guide you to for the check in. Tami helped us with the check in and everything went so smoothly! She even offered us early check in because there is a room available. Will stay here again next time for sure!

Outstanding stay at Mondrian Seoul during one week. Very good situation close to Itaewon district : a famous and very lively place. Most attentive Hotel service and caring staff. The installations for Fitness, swimming pool and Sauna are particularly clean and "easy-to-use". I would highly recommend this hotel.
