Top Changdeokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Good location to major attractions. Clean room, though the room is a little bit small."

Orakai Insadong Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great for families travelling together wanting to stay in condo-like setup but still have a hotel. Great gym. Good location. We were on 13th floor, the next door building construction noise wasn't an issue."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, once we got there. VERY frustrating experience trying to get to the correct hotel: hauling luggage up staircases in the subway and then checking into the Myeongdong hotel. It shows up on NAVER and Google Maps as NINE TREES HOTEL MYEONGDONG 1 (that's a one, because there are two hotels). The second hotel has the *exact* same name with a 2 after it, but every map app cuts off the character count, so guests are left guessing which one they're going to. Taxi drivers don't understand the difference, and our cab driver had to phone the front desk. It took forever, and was not what we wanted to be doing after a 12 hour flight. This is such a simple fix, but this happens to guests every day. The first hotel even has pre-printed maps to direct you to the "other" hotel with the exact same name. The second hotel isn't even in Myeongdong proper, but I'm sure its listed there for better SEO listings. It's a very nice hotel, but an annoying way to start your vacation."

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong

8/10 Good

"Great for solo travellers, clean, basic and modern rooms. Comfortable bed, good location and easy to get around Seoul without it being overly touristy. Would stay again."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast is wonderful!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, our room was on the 20th floor, sometimes took a while for the lift to come, as people on lower floors would request it first, roof top garden could do with a tidy but overall near to two subway exits, easy to get around and the AirPort Express bus drops you close by approx 150 yards."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The cleaner for our stay at floor 22 was amazing. She's very hardworking and ensures that our room stays clean. We stayed in Lotte City Hotel from September 2 to September 6."

Hanok Hotel DAAM

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed as couple for 2 nights in triple room, towards end of trip to South Korea and Japan. Pros: 1. Staff very helpful and friendly. 2. Very clean, comfortable, quiet, serene and good amenities. 3. Adequate breakfast. 4. Excellent location for Changdeokgung palace, Anguk hanok village, Ikseon-dong eateries, Insadong Cultural street and Korean Folk Music Museum. 5. Near two subway stations. Cons: 1. Can’t think of any."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Check-in was incredibly easy and efficient. We were also able to check in earlier than the standard time by signing up for the hotel’s free loyalty program. The sign-up process was quick and painless, and it was well worth it for the added convenience of getting into our room early. The location is fantastic. The hotel is conveniently close to the train, making it easy to get around, and it’s also within easy reach of Myeongdong Night Market and Namdaemun Market. There were plenty of things to explore, eat, and shop for right nearby, which made the location especially convenient. Another great feature was the washer and dryer in the lobby. You do need cash to use them, but having laundry facilities right at the hotel was incredibly convenient. It meant we could wash clothes during our trip and avoid bringing a suitcase full of dirty laundry home! Our room also had exquisite views of the city and surrounding hills. Waking up to that scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall, this hotel offered a great combination of convenience, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!"
