After a long time, I had a chance to visit Seoul, and while looking for accommodation near Yeongdeungpo-gu, I found Hotel Aura.

I was really satisfied with the value for money, so I wanted to share my experience with you!

Hotel Aura

Address: 264-11, Yeongdeungpo-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

Operating Hours:

- Check-in: 9:00 PM

- Check-out: 11:00 AM

✅ Booked through the Yanolja app.

🅿️ Parking Information:

Dedicated parking available ⭕

Parking is available in the ground space in front of the building and in the tower parking.

They conveniently move your car in advance if you call before checking out, so you can leave without waiting.

I found the stamp system at the hotel entrance quite interesting. There were quite a lot of coupons, and it seemed like they manage their regulars well, as there were many people who visit frequently.

They even had lens cases and saline solution for those who wear contacts. These small touches felt quite convenient.

Hotel Aura does not provide disposable amenities, so we purchased them from the vending machine in the back.

The prices were reasonable, around ₩1,500 to ₩2,500! It was nice not having to go out to a convenience store.

There was frozen bottled water available at the elevator entrance. The frozen water was very useful for us the next day after drinking...!

Each floor also had a communal refrigerator with water, which was great because we could use it whenever we needed it!

We especially drink a lot of water, so it was nice to be able to take it without having to ask.

Room 301: ₩100,000

- Possible room upgrade

Extension: 4 hours for ₩40,000

We stayed in room 301.

The room had a large bed and a small bed, which was great for two people to sleep comfortably.

Surprisingly, the extra bed was quite large and comfortable to use.

There was a hanger for clothes, gowns, a hair dryer, and even a hair straightener.

I also liked the vanity, air purifier, and large TV.

We could also use OTT services, which was convenient.

Hotel Aura disinfects twice a day, and the bathroom was very well maintained.

They provided plenty of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and towels, so it was convenient not having to bring anything extra.

The room's Wi-Fi and air conditioning worked well, and it was comfortable to use.

The most special part was the lounge, which had a 24-hour free ramen bar! It was amazing.

There were various types of ramen, from cup noodles to ramen that you could cook yourself on an induction cooktop, so it was fun to choose.

They had all the dishes, pots, and utensils, and you could even choose between silver and wooden chopsticks, so I felt small but detailed consideration.

The next morning, we also had breakfast. It was a buffet with soup, side dishes, and rice all prepared deliciously!

It was a simple hangover cure and a clean meal, so it was good.

Overall, I highly recommend this hotel because of its high satisfaction for the price!

Today, I reviewed Hotel Aura, located in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

Thank you to everyone who visits!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
