"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

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, you can walk to palaces, shopping, and plenty of places to explore. Staff is wonderful. Their suggestions were right on! I would go back if visiting Seoul again"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"The location was fantastic. Exactly where I wanted to be. The room wasn't huge, but we loved that the sink was outside the bathroom, separated from the toilet and shower. That way, two people can use the bathroom at the same time instead of getting in each other's way. Building maintenance could be a little better; we saw overgrown weeds outside the first-floor elevator hall, and we thought the food photos attached to the columns in front of the building could be removed. Otherwise, we loved staying at this hotel."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Decent property. Beds are very confortable. Air Con very quiet and perfect flow. Very good breakfast for a fair price. Friendly staff and service. Rooms are a bit dated mine had some dust on the desk. Quite expensive $$ for what it is."

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
