Benikea Seoul Tourist Hotel

Seoul

Location:
- Very good location - just 2 blocks is huge supermarket eMarket or HomePlus Supermarket. Also good location if you want to go to Gimpo Airport. 
- It's living neighborhood, not tourist attractions near hotel. But just few minutes walking is path to river (near is library which I recommend visit) and mini park with tennis court and basketball court. 
- Few minutes from library is another park - Medical park - with many monuments (for example: Dr. Heo Jun's Statue, Seoul Monument (cave), etc.).
- Few minutes from hotel is KBS Arena with many events. I visited it almost everyday and I was on one concert and on many sports events (some were for free).
If you don't want to pay for events, you can visit fitness centrum or bowling court which are inside. 

Hotel:
- English programs are available on TV (CNN, BBC…). Also very much Korean programs which I prefer more. 
- Absolutely free wifi. I had room with wifi router - each floor have one room with wifi for other rooms. Also free wifi in lobby. 
- Room have air condition, hairdryer, hotel shampoo and mini soap. But I prefer my own toilet stuffs. 
- Restaurant is in hotel but it wasn't available during my visit. I bought my own from nearest supermarkets or mini shops (for example: 7-11).
- Sleeping was good. Bed was (at least for me) uncomfortable. 
- Staff service was very friendly.   
- Room was clean and cozy. But not First Aid Kit in the room.

Very good hotel

(1) NO CNN, NO BBC, No English programming.
(2) LOCATED away from Seoul's tourist area.  This is a living neighborhood.
(3) Huge SUPERMARKET (eMarket) 2 blocks away.
(4) If BREAKFAST was included, no one told me about it.

AiMED AT THE LOCAL CROWD

I believe this Benikea hotel is one of the brand that is operated by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) who ensures the quality, at least this is what it says on the website, and I enjoyed staying here without any major concerns. Maybe I wasn't expecting too much as I would for 5 star hotels, but compare to the price I paid (around 35 CAD per night) I was very much satisfied with the quality & service. 

 This hotel is in perfect location which has access to everything in walking distance and also only 5 train stops away from Gimpo-Airport (not Incheon Airport). Room itself is just a basic standard with small fridge no microwave & has small washroom. The bed was a bit small but comfy enough to sleep. 

 I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a reasonable low-priced hotel which is actually clean and cozy.

Cost-effective hotel that I recommend !

Benikea Seoul Hotel is very good hotel located in Seoul, Korea. It is very popular for foreigner travelers, especially by tour agency. We stayed here for 2 nights. It is very nice stay, very comfortable room, clean and good breakfast.

Cozy stay...

I came to Seoul with a tour agency and this is the first hotel they brought us to. The lobby was very small but our concern was just getting to the room as it was very cold outside.
The room was average, was not very spacious but just nice for two person. The bathroom was not very clean with mold on corner of tiles. There were no coffee or tea facilities in room and no toileteries were given. I went down to the lobby and asked for any coffee sachet as it is cold outside and would be nice to have a hot coffee, but they just told me they dont provide coffee sachets. I then asked for toothbrush and they at least gave me that.
The room was quite cold at night but we manage to sleep it through as we were tired.
The next day, we went for breakfast and were suprised to see such little menu variety. The breakfast was very dissapointing. To my surprise, they provide coffee sachets for breakfast.
The only good thing about this place is, it is strategically located. Just 5mins walk from the hotel and you will reach the subway station and across the road from there is a mall plus rows of restaurants including McDonalds.
The next time I'm here I will definetly look into other options.

Very Poor

A comfortable, quiet hotel near Incheon airport. During transit through Seoul, I stopped at this hotel, on the recommendation of an agent on the stand. From the airport to the hotel was taken by a car that came from the hotel. 6 minutes walk. Nearby is a standard shop. Breakfast is included in the price. Not very abundant (standard in Korean). inconveniences: the rooms are located between floors and therefore if there are large suitcases, you need to get up or down the elevator for one flight when settling down.
