The wow factor is gone.
When I lived in South Korea and I would travel to Seoul I would always stay at one of 2 hotel with IP boutique being one of them. The rooms were so cute and modern. This time around I decided to upgrade to a king suite. I was not impressed chipped Chipped furniture and chipped paint on the walls and an old green rug that looks like it should have been replaced. The air conditioner didn’t work properly and when someone came to service it, he tried his best and said he would turn it up from the Main server. I had the temperature to cold, there is no way I should have been warm. I went to the front desk on two separate occasions and couldn’t find anyone to speak with. For the price of the rooms and no pool I would think the service and quality would be way better. A major facelift is required. I was very disappointed. I don’t see myself returning unless when I visit South Korea next summer it is the only hotel available in the area, or some improvements have been made. Great location, but other than that I’ve been to love motels that are better than this.

Although there were a few things that seemed off or simply dirty. I can say it was good enough to have had a roof under us for a day that was needed out of unexpectedly circumstances.

A Pretty Hotel, but Miserable Experience…
To start off, I’d like to say that the only good thing about this hotel was its interesting aesthetics and art displayed in the lobby and front entrance. Now onto the negatives. The room was fairly old and dirty with stains spread out on the carpet and scuff marks on the walls. While this wasn’t nice to look at or think about walking around it wasn’t a deal breaker. Just a bad first impression. The AC in the room would barely run even at max settings. I had the desired temperature set to 20°C at max fan speed but the coldest it would get was around 24°C at night with the window vents open to get the cold night air inside (it was 17-18°C outside at this time). During the day, with all the lights and tv off and curtains drawn to prevent the sunlight from heating the room, the room would sit at about 25.5°C. Finally, the tv couldn’t connect to the internet about 50% of the time unless you set it to be hard wired through an Ethernet connection. However, without being connected via WiFi, there was no way to cast to the tv. Overall, this hotel was a huge letdown for the price I payed. Out of the 6 hotels I stayed in during my 2.5 week trip, this hotel was tied with only one other for worst hotel experience.
Stained carpet. They don’t show up in pictures as much as they did in person.
Scuffed walls.
Beautiful wall design by the front entrance with doors leading to their public bathrooms.
Beautiful wall art in the main lobby

Great place to stay. Only thing would be I almost need a step stool to get into the shower, the bathtub is so high! It’s dangerous getting out too because the floor gets wet. Thought i was going to fall every time
