A Hotel with the Best Location Directly Connected to Itaewon Station and Great Cost Performance for Those Who Aren't Bothered by Noise

Experience of the stay
I stayed at the iconic 'Hamilton Hotel' in Itaewon, Seoul from September 7 to September 11, 2025. The location is right next to Itaewon Station (Exit 2, Subway Line 6).
You could say it's almost directly connected, like Roppongi in Japan.
The room was spacious enough, it has been renovated with charging facilities, and the toilet had a washlet.
The shower had low water pressure, and the Wi-Fi was a bit weak.
There aren't many people sharing stories on hafh yet, and when looking at reviews on Google and hotel booking sites, the noise issue often comes up.
If you aren't sensitive to noise, you'll be fine; I personally wasn't bothered at all.
My companion was the type that gets bothered by sound, but they said, 'I can hear it, but it's not enough to keep me awake.'
I stayed in Room 618, a deluxe twin room, which might have been a factor since it was located away from the side facing the club.
As long as the noise problem is acceptable, the room size and service are impeccable, especially the location is fantastic, being just a stone's throw from Itaewon Station.
Experiences during the trip
I enjoyed a sacred pilgrimage to Itaewon Class, the Seoul Tower, and the free animal park in Seoul, 'Children's Grand Park'.
Then, it was a trip full of Korean cuisine, especially the unlimited samgyeopsal at 'Gangnam Pork Shop Myeongdong Direct Store' for 17,000 won, which was the best.
It's a bit of a classic, but there's also the famous yukhoe specialty store 'Buchon Yukhoe' in Gwangjang Market, which has been listed in the Michelin Guide continuously, and I visit every time I go to Korea.
