Nouvelle Hotel Seoul Itaewon by Anook

Good stay for solo traveler.

I do not recommend staying here. it seems more like a love hotel than and actual hotel. the claim of daily housekeeping was simply nonexistent they never came to our room in the 4 night we stayed here. the whole hotel reeks of chlorine for no apparent reason. there was a wildly uncomfortable plastic cover on the mattress. they only gave us one key card for 2 people. and there was zero sound proofing. overall horrible stay and far to pricey for what you get. if you are looking for something in the itaewon area i’m sure there are better options but this hotels location was good if you want to be a 2 minute walk from the main strip.

The light for the entrance to the room was on a sensor and turned on even just moving in bed. Far from ideal. Smelt smokey in the rooms although non smoking. Noise as others mention from local bars could be an issue if you like quiet rooms. Not overly clean- lots of hair and dust and things covering stains! Great location and fine for one night.

Staff very nice at check in. Room was okay, comfy bed. Bathroom needed an extra clean and would have been useful to have instructions for the toilet (one of those fancy ones with lots of buttons). Room very hot at night. Not enough plug sockets near the bed. No light switch near the bed so you have to get up to turn the lights on/off. Good location. Few minor issues with fixtures and fittings. Did not eat breakfast as to early for us, only served 7-9am.

The staff were all very helpful and kind. Only reason I'm not leaving 5 stars is this hotel had advertised soundproof rooms and they definifely aren't. You can hear the bustle from the street outside as well as your neighbors. Some earplugs and you'll be fine, but I thought it was important to note.
