H Avenue Hotel Kondae

★ 7.7

Konkuk Univ / Seongsu

The cheapest verified bed for this run and the one that holds inventory when the Olympic Park strip goes. Rating is 7.7, so good rather than great, but the Konkuk cluster is deep enough that something is always left in it.

🚇 Konkuk Univ station, Lines 2 and 7, about 20 minutes back from Olympic Park

typically USD 106/night
