Top Changdeokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"best place ever"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The concierge, Mr. Woo was exceptionally helpful for us"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"We were genuinely very impressed with Hotel Botanik Myeongdong. When our taxi first dropped us off, we were actually a little unsure about the entrance, as the ground-floor lift lobby is quite small. But once you reach the reception level, you start seeing how good this hotel really is. Check-in was smooth and easy. We stayed for six days in a two-bedroom room. The rooms aren’t huge, but everything is very cleverly planned and laid out. We had a living area, plenty of storage, washing machine, dryer and electric cooktop. There were no cooking utensils initially, but when I asked, the staff arranged cookware and cutlery very quickly. The main bedroom had a queen bed, TV and walk-in wardrobe, and the second bedroom worked perfectly for our daughter. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. Every evening when we returned after a long day out, the room had been cleaned and tidied beautifully. Breakfast was very good, and the staff were attentive and helpful with all our queries, including arranging our airport taxi. They also have a reasonably priced luggage-storage facility. The location is excellent. Myeongdong is lively, convenient and close to many tourist attractions, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Overall, we were totally impressed. Next time we visit Korea, I think we already know where we want to stay!"

"Great location, staff are helpful, however the rooms are on the smaller side and there isnt much space in the bathrooms."

Orakai Insadong Suites

8/10 Good

"The property location was good. Nice quiet area away from crowds. The hotel rooms need a refresh. Nicer furniture and needs updating like fresh paint and more modern furnishings. Convenient coffee shop downstairs. The breakfast room needs to stay open longer. The price on Expedia said $189/ nite but I was charged $232/ nite. That’s a lot of tax"
