"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

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and perfect amenities"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Crown Park Hotel Seoul! The location is excellent, with easy access to shopping areas, restaurants, and popular tourist attractions. I have 2 rooms booked, they cleaned the room daily. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The hotel was convenient for exploring Seoul, and the overall experience was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend Crown Park Hotel Seoul to anyone visiting the city and would happily stay here again!"

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a family quad room. Clean, spacious enough for our needs, good housekeeping service, minimal noise. Beds were comfortable. Hotel location was also great, walkable to palaces, hanok village and fun neighbourhood of Ikseon with its hanok restaurants and shops. Convenience store just outside. Would recommend."

Anook Hotel & Spa Seoul Jongno Anguk 2nd

8/10 Good

"Worth for the price and pretty comfy beds"

MJ HOTEL JONGNO

10/10 Excellent

"Good location and money worth,,,,"

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"This was the first time I ever experienced a 5-star hotel and I must say it was pretty amazing. I’m still sore over being charged an extra $1050 just to add my wife as a second guest. The hotel said it was all Expedia that did not work it out with me. I’m still digging up the original booking."

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

10/10 Excellent

"Very well spot"

Hanok Hotel DAAM

8/10 Good

"Spotlessly clean and very conveniently located. My first time staying in a hotel like this. The bed was very comfortable and there is space under it for your suitcase which means climbing up into the bed—a little challenging after a long day of walking around. The cubby was very warm at night. The other guests were very considerate but inevitably there is some noise; I would suggest earplugs. All that being said: it was comfortable, safe, very clean, convenient and a good value. I would absolutely stay again."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Location and suite were perfect. I would stay again."
