Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this property is great making. Close to Myeongdong shopping, subway, buses allowing access to the other areas of the city."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely well located hotel. Staff were great. Lifts are a bit confusing. But otherwise a property I’d definitely recommend"

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

8/10 Good

"Overall very good, would stay here again. The only minor observation I would make is the carpets and bathrooms are *slightly* worn/dated - but the staff does an excellent job of cleaning. The American style breakfast buffet was very good, especially the hash browns and grape juice. The location is ideal - from this hotel you are an easy shot to many things."

Hanok Hotel DAAM

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is always freshly cooked"

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"I liked that the hotel had the option to have 3 twin beds. The location could not have been more perfect; it was close to all the major visiting spots. It is right across the street from Ikseondong Hanok Village where there is great food options and shopping. Also, the subway entrance was a short walking distance from the hotel. Paris baguette and multiple coffee shops just a few minutes away. Downtown shopping for Insadong was 2 blocks away with street food and vendors. I would highly recommend Ibis Ambassador, Insadong for first timers visiting Korea."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Lotte City Myeongdong - and would stay here again or recommend to friends visiting Seoul for the first time. Just located slightly away for the busiest parts of Myeongdong so perfect to come back to and walk about from. Check-in was easy and the staff allowed us to check in 3 hours early which was perfect. Room was clean and tidy with the expected amenities. Only thing missing was an iron but there is an ironing room on the 3rd floor. Bathroom is a good size with a modern Japanese-style toilet. A perfect stay all around!"

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, beautiful room, close to food court and restaurants, shops, and cafes. Excellent gym and sauna. Floor outside can be very slippery when wet, so need to be extra careful."
