8/10 Good

Overall, we had a good experience at the Hamilton Hotel. Let’s start with the positives:
1) Centrally located in Itaewon which has an international atmosphere. Lots of global food options including Turkish, Indian, and South African cuisine. Walking distance to a grocery store and cafes.
2) It is mere feet from the Itaewon subway stop. Very convenient! Lots of taxi cabs in the area. And located near bus stops.
3) The staff were friendly. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. The cleaning staff were generous when we asked for extra towels.
4) Our room was a moderate size with two single beds (comfortable), closet, bathroom, etc. We had a lovely view on the 8th floor. The bidet in the bathroom was incredible!
Okay, now a few things to note if you stay at the hotel.
1) Itaewon is THE place for young adults to go clubbing and bar hopping. If you enjoy nightlife, then the Hamilton Hotel is perfect. It is going to get loud at night. There is a bar on the second floor of the hotel. Fortunately, I can sleep through anything so I was fine. But know that Thursday through Sunday, you can feel the pulsating dance music. So, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for families with kids.
2) As mentioned before, the rooms are fine. But, you can tell that things are a little outdated. The carpet was a little old. The television was small. The bathroom had a small sink and mirror was terrible lighting if you want to make your face up in the morning.
