I stayed here while my friend was visiting me. The location is great!!
It is hard to find a clean HOTEL and not a motel in Seoul around 150usd/night.

lobby and the room was very clean all the time and bath room amenities were very nice (crabtree & evelyn)

Good place for foreigners (especially western travelers). Itaewon doesn't have much shopping or REAL korean restaurants but it is filled with western bars and clubs and exotic restaurants.
So, if one wants to travel around seoul but still want to stay where he/she can communicate in English and find comforting food, stay in this area and stay at IP which is actually only clean HOTEL in this area

I stayed in this hotel for just a couple of nights in november 2012 when on business in seoul. I was pleasantly surprised: the price was reasonable, it was in a good location in Itaewon and best of all the decoration of the hotel was quite unique, outside and in. The room was a decent size, wifi service was fast and the staff were helpful. On a negative note, no breakfast included although there is a cafe in the hotel and there are restaurants and loads of coffee shops just outside, which i used instead. Also, there was what looked like a bleach stain on the bedroom carpet. However i was too busy marveling the views across seoul and the enormous strawberry painted on the bedroom wall!

Hotel is very easy to find just a 5 min. walk from the subway (line 6) location is very international so lots of food choices. Check-in was seemless staff speaks enough english and is very helpful they could only give us 1 key card the 1st night they out of them that was odd. Lobby has really cool swings you can sit on. Room was very clean beds were of above average comfort, bathroom is a glass cube frosted accross the middle very nice looking but does not give a lot of privacy, tube/shower is high and there is nothing to hold onto getting in and out everything was very nice bright and clean one entire wall lights up so very bright. This can be an issue if someone is trying to sleep in as turning on the lights in the bathroom will light up the entire room. Room had very limited storage space one drawer in the closet almost no place to put your luggage as well. Plug-ins will take almost any type we had no issue using our US laptops and phones without getting the adaptors out. WiFi was free but speed is slow even uploading pictures to facebook was an issue. Hallways are very nice but dark and I mean dark enough to make it hard to find your room.

We would stay here again was a good value for what we paid.
