Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Times Square is a practical, well-liked business hotel in Yeongdeungpo, the commercial district west of Yeouido. It was built in 2009, has 283 rooms across 16 floors and is connected to the Times Square shopping mall, which holds restaurants, shops and a department store. The hotel lists Yeongdeungpo Station about five minutes away on foot, a property class of 4 and a guest score of 9.2 from 1,001 reviews. The facilities are focused on convenience: MoMo Cafe with an international buffet, MoMo Bar, a cafe-bar for afternoon tea, a 24-hour fitness center, free wired internet in every room and free Wi-Fi in some public areas, a business center and six meeting rooms. A rooftop Sky Garden becomes an urban barbecue spot on Saturdays. The property is Green Key certified, and there is no pool or spa.
The location is the reason to consider it. Yeongdeungpo is not the tourist center, but it is a major transport hub, with a station served by Line 1 and national rail services, and it is close to Yeouido and its Han River park. The mall beside the lobby means that rainy evenings and late dinners are easy. The trade-off is travel time: the palaces are about 30 to 40 minutes away by subway, so plan a morning start if you want the old city before the crowds.
On the other hand, the Saturday barbecue on the roof and the buffet at MoMo Cafe give the hotel a sociable side that many business-style properties lack, and the 24-hour gym is helpful for guests adjusting to jet lag.
Practical details. Check-in starts at 3 pm and check-out is before noon, with early check-in and late check-out available for a fee, subject to availability. The minimum check-in age is 19. Self parking is free, and valet is about 27,000 won per day, a real advantage for guests who drive. Breakfast is a paid buffet from 6:30 to 10 am at about 45,000 won for adults and 22,500 for children.
Rollaway beds are about 60,500 won per night. Pets are not allowed. The hotel is a good fit for business travelers, for families that want a mall on the doorstep and for visitors with a car who plan to explore outside Seoul.
Who should choose it? Value-conscious travelers who plan to use the subway heavily, parents who want a place with easy access to supermarkets and restaurants, and anyone attending events in Yeouido or Yeongdeungpo. Those who want a pool, a spa or an old-city setting should look elsewhere. For a stay with a practical rhythm, a reliable standard and a high review score, it is a sensible base, and the free parking makes it one of the more accessible options for short trips by car.
