I stayed at this hotel for a weekend. It is a bed & breakfast style hotel. My flight to leave Seoul was at 4am and I needed to catch the last airport bus to the hotel. The guy at the front desk helped me to look up the timetable and directed me to the bus stop. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the bus never came and at 1am in the morning I began to panic about how I was going to get to the airport (I only had 20,000WON on me.) I went back to the hotel and the staff behind the desk kindly helped me to exchange some of my foreign currency to WON and gave me an additional 20k WON to help me cover a taxi to the airport. I found him exceptionally kind and I highly rate the hotel. It is an excellent location with easy access to the popular tourist destinations. Too bad the Korean transportation aren't as good as the service provided by this hotel. I highly recommend Tori Hotel to guests.

Excellent service and exceptionally kind staff

I booked TORi Hotel via www.booking.com for 3 nights, break away for 2 nights, and back away for another 2 nights. After my booking was confirmed by booking.com, immediately I received an email from the HOTEL giving me a map and direction to the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The map comes with details of alternative mode of transport from Incheon Airport. This I called excellent service. The map is easy to read and accurate. I do not have problem finding the hotel upon arrival. Chan-hong ssi and Hyuk-mo ssi must be mentioned here. They manage the reception and they are extremely helpful. They helped me carry my super heavy luggage in and out of the room. TORi has many flights of stairs. They even helped me to carry my luggage downto the street level (again there is a flight of stairs from hotel to street level) at 5.30am after I checked out to catch the Airport Bus. They made arrangement for me to leave my luggage in the hotel when I travel out of Seoul after my 3 nights, as I would be coming back again to the hotel for another 2 nights. That helped me a lot when I travel out of Seoul. They speak good English. Thank you Chan-hong ssi and Hyuk-mo ssi.
The room is small but value for money. Room has full facilities including hair dryer, flat screen TV, coffee and tea and biscuit and electric water boiler. Clean room clean bathroom. Hotel very near GS25 (24 hours convenience store), Exit 6 Ewha Womans University subway station and Airport Bus number 6002 bus stop. Walking distance to Edae Shopping area and Ewha Womans University.

Good location

I stayed two nights in Tori. I chose this budget hotel because it is so close to Ewha University Station and Hongik University (the key area to explore in this trip).
Location: 3-min walk from Exit 6 of Ewha University. 5-8 mins to the major shopping area and cafes in Ewha. Airport coach runs to Ewha (but I took the cheaper and faster subway). Do ask front desk for help if you are carrying huge luggage.
Room: The size of single room is actually bigger than my expectation (big enough to open my 24 inch luggage). However, the bathroom is tiny (very frank here). I managed to had enough space being a 5ft9 guy. Free bottled water in room and simple breakfast (on 3/F). One drawback of most budget hotel is ..you can always hear noise in the next room or corridor.
Service: The front desk guy can speak good engish in general and help me fixed my proket wifi problem (Big thanks to him). Quickest check-out as guests just need to place the room key in the front desk and go. Of course, if you need a strong guy for your 20+ kg luggage, call for help in advance.

Good location and helpful staff

The positives are a good location just next to Ewha subway and the front office person was very pleasant and helpful with my luggage and spoke some English. Also the shower worked well . I expected to the room to be small, which it was , but the window had opaque glass , and couldn't be opened to any degree so it felt very confined,  the carpet on the floor was stained and old and the walls desperately needed a coat of paint .  The breakfast is in a dingy dark central area and consist of sugar laden cereals and white bread with jam .

The staff couldn't help with information , such as where is the nearest large supermarket - in my search for black tea (near sinchon subway as I now know ) . There are only some hooks for hanging and a couple of spaces to put some folded clothes . There is no chair , just a small stool.
The bed is very hard and they ran out of bath towels my second  night. The place didn't seem particularily clean . I really can't reconcile my experience with others whom have posted on this site. 

This place might be an option is you just want to crash for a night , but for a longer stay , there are better options at the same price . There are newer brighter places around with better facilities eg laundry  , but they are also likely to be small, and many won't have a window

Good location but dreary

Easy to find and close to the subway. The staff was very friendly and even carried my bags to my room in the third floor. But, the room smelled like smoke and the bathroom was extremely small. I do not know how I would have taken a shower there. Also, there was a lot of mildew. Breakfast is served at 07:30- 10:00.
