Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • It's a love motel — Several guests explicitly describe Hotel Cello as a love motel, albeit one of better quality. This may not suit everyone's expectations for a traditional hotel.
  • Limited English spoken by staff — One reviewer noted that staff are friendly but do not speak English, which could be a challenge for non-Korean speakers.
  • Small rooms — A guest mentioned the room is small, though complete, with a large TV and computer. This might be tight for those needing more space.
  • Average overall rating, priced low — The hotel has a rating of 6.8 out of 10 across 39 reviews, lower than the area average of 8.2. Some guests felt the only advantage was the price.
  • Check-in ends at 21:00 — The check-in window is from 15:00 to 21:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.

“The only reason to stay is the location. It was a 15-minute walk from Lotte World and 5 minutes from the metro. The Jamsil station on the green line is very convenient, with easy access to anywhere. Also, we took a direct bus to Everland from there.”
