"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Top Changdeokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

Anook Hotel & Spa Seoul Jongno Anguk 2nd

10/10 Excellent

"Near the main attractions, easy to get transportation, clean comfortable bed and pillows … spacious bathrooms…"

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff shop nearby . Cleaning staff excellent . I Will recommend this hotel 100%"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very convenient to major subway stop. The staff was friendly and helpful (especially with English speaking customers). The breakfast buffet was excellent and many good restaurants in the area."

MJ HOTEL JONGNO

8/10 Good

"It is a basic hotel in a good location. It was very clean. Breakfast was simple and served in a small kitchen, which sometimes felt a bit too crowded. The staff was nice. My room lacked character - just a few pictures would help. I think a bed side lamp should be a standard feature. Also, it would be good to have some notice asking to close room doors with care to prevent very loud noise. I regret not asking to lower the floor temperature earlier and asking about mosquitoes, which woke me up."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"urban hotel with the front desk located on the 11th floor. One block off the most important street in Seoul."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for a short stay in Seoul this hotel is very close to a lot of local amenities, shopping and restaurants. We had an excellent stay and would return. The area is busy in the evenings so it was loud some nights but that wasn’t too much of a disturbance. The staff were incredibly helpful, there is coin-operated laundry which is very convenient. The breakfast offering is simple more continental style with espresso coffee, toast, cereal, enough to get you started for the day and with convenience stores and cafes close by if you prefer. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller with not very much korean. Thank you StepInn for a wonderful stay."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean but very small. Breakfast is a home run for sure. The property is right across the street from the Night Market which is super convenient."
