Good location/Poor hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/10/05
The Hamilton is right in the middle of Itaewon. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, cafes and nightlife all around the hotel. That is the only good thing about it though. The hotel itself is very old and needed to be renovated about 10 years ago. The carpets are stained, the beds are hard and not all rooms have A/C.
It's a shame the owners/manager have let this hotel slide into 2 Star status because the location can't be beat.
If you're on a budget and seek the nightlife, then the Hamilton is for you. If you are a business traveler or just prefer a nice hotel then I'd recommend The Tower (inexpensive) or the JW Marriott (expensive) or the Grand Hyatt (expensive). All 3 of these are relatively close to Itaewon and the Yongsan Army base and they are decent hotels.
