We stayed for two weeks in a family room at Oriens Hotel & Residence in June and had an overall pleasant experience. We traveled as a family with a small child, so the spacious room with a kitchen was very convenient. The staff was really kind and helpful. We received a 500ml water bottle per person daily, clean large towels, and regular trash removal. The bathroom had strong water pressure and hot water, and the room had a washer-dryer combo (clothes weren’t fully dry but dried quickly on the provided drying rack). The kitchen was equipped with cookware, utensils, a sponge, dish soap, and a large fridge with freezer. Although the air conditioner looked old, it cooled the room fast (a bit too much for overnight use), and there were also two fans. The beds were comfortable. The hotel has smoking areas at both entrances. However, the bathroom clearly needs renovation—the cabinet was water-damaged and dirty. The kitchen cupboards could’ve been cleaner, and one bed’s headboard had a large stain. Despite mosquito nets, some mosquitoes still got in, which was uncomfortable at night. The hotel is easiest to access from Chungmuro Station or via airport limousine bus (G3 Hotel/Namsan Hanok Village stop). Despite minor flaws, we recommend this hotel for families looking for a central and well-equipped place to stay in Seoul.
