Lovely place with a good access from/to airport
Pros:

The place is very interesting. At first I was a bit skeptic but I ended up loving it. The young male staff were very friendly and very helpful. The room was very spacious. The location is very strategic and well-located to catch airport bus. The sharing kitchen is an amazing facility. During my stay, most of regular people who used the shared facilities were people who speak Koreans, so you may feels a bit lost in translation. But other than that, all is wonderful. Definitely will come again.

Great stay in downtown Seoul
Pros:

First of all, the staff were outstanding. Very, very friendly and extremely helpful. The overall concept of GLOCALOCA is great, and my only minor comment is that, since the hotel is so progressive when it comes to eco-friendliness, why not do away with the complimentary toothbrushes as well. The rooms are very spacious and the updated interior is great, including the change from the Koreana Hotel's carpet to laminate flooring. The lounge and office space are great, too. It would be nice if the rooms were slightly cheaper, say, 125k instead of 150k, but it's Seoul, it's downtown, and it's still more affordable than other competitors. I will definitely stay here again, and as much as I enjoyed my previous stays at the Koreana, I would always opt for the GLOCALOCA now instead.

Pros:

옆방 코고는 소리 들리고, 침구에서 냄새나요.
침대 헤드 페브릭 깨끗하게 청소안되어있고 침대에 누웠을때 냄새가 남니다.
냉장고 소음도 심하고 근처 시험이 있어 하룻밤 숙박했는데 썩 좋은경험은 아니네요.

Pros:

Excellent hotel well located in Seoul. A large bedroom with comfy beds and good bathroom. The plus is the open, kitchen freely available all day (anytime), with noodles, eggs, bread, jam, coffee/tea that was super useful.
Personal is very friendly as well

Good value and lication.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful. It is a little difficult being in another hotel..you have to remember to tell the taxi driver Koreana Hotel. The room was large. Nice lounge area for baby to crawl around. Washer, dryer, stove do not have English instructions and staff were not always at the welcome desk. No high chair for babies. The location was great.

Pros:

総合評価は最高です。
家族連れには間違いないホテルです。

諸先輩方のアドバイスからホテルの場所がわかりにくいという問題は解決できます。
朝はコーヒー、コーンフレーク、トースト、卵(料理可)は食べられます。
共有スペースが苦手な人はコーヒーを部屋に持ってくこともOK。朝から韓国ならではのインスタントラーメンも食べられます。
コンセントはcとseが使えました。
私達は4泊しましたがホテルにドラム式の洗濯機があるため、洗濯も心配ありませんでした。アメニティは歯ブラシ、シャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディソープがありました。
