 Ondol Rm, Hotel Crown Itaewon by bpacker Try requesting for a traditional korean room or an ondol when you stay in this hotel. From what I heard, they're much nicer than the western-styled rooms in this hotel. The plus point of staying in this hotel is that it's located conveniently along the airport limousine bus route. Yes, this means that you can hop on a bus at the airport that'll take you directly there. The bus fare costs about 12,000won and the journey took about an hour.
Sleeping on an Ondol will be quite an experience as you'll be sleeping on the floor on a soft mattress and a husk-filled pillow. Also, there's no visible heater in the room as the floor is heated. Trust me, you won't become an icicle in the night as the floor is deliciously warm. To top off the experience, they'll give a pretty silk quilt. I suppose you can also try this in the summer but the floor won't be heated. This hotel is famed for its fire-heated "traditional " sauna . It cost about 15,000W per person to try this ( no discount for hotel guest ). I decided to give it a miss that there was no point steaming myself like a mandu ( Chinese bun ) one more time after the Osaek experience.

 The Crown Hotel - Itaewon by kdoc13 The Crown Hotel is not a 4 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination. In its day, it probably was, but it is a bit older, and a bit more rundown. That said, it is clean, cheap, central to many things, and has a lot of great features to it. The hotel is just South of itaewon, within walking distance of two subway stops, Yonsan Army base, the War Memorial, and of course the dive known as Itaewon. It is an odd hotel because from the outside it looks like a Holiday in, but on the inside it is victorian looking at times. The staff is very courteous, and the rooms while not too spacious are bigger than most places in this price range. The beds are comfy too. Plus for around $77 USD in a major city, the price is reasonable too.
There is an office area, wedding hall, restaurant and parking garage, plus all the other normal hotel things. I didn't see a pool though, my only real complaint, Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averagePhone: 797-4111Directions: Just south of Itaewon and the namsan Tunnels.
