Top hotels in Yonggang-dong
Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo
The rooms were large and having the humidifier by the bedside was a big plus. One consideration for the hotel is to allow guests to use their own streaming accounts for the TVs. The room had a huge TV, but we couldn't watch Netflix as they only had TV channels on it.
