Top Gwangjin-gu Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was plentiful. We had a wonderful view of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Proximity to Namdaemun Market and Myeongdong was ideal. The exterior and surrounding area was clean with a nice sitting area outside of Starbucks. Room was small but we were there to sightsee, not stay in a hotel room. Air conditioning was superb! The mattress was hard but pillows and blankets were perfect. Amenities included collagen eye patches, bubble bath, slippers, waters, and more. We had 2 rooms, one of the rooms did not have the eye patches but I’m sure they would have provided them if we called the front desk. The elevators were fast and felt safe. Will definitely stay here again."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is immaculate and clean. The staff are super helpful. The room had ample amenities. We had a premier suite so had the washing machine dryer kitchenette etc and was very comfortable with all the modern equipment. Location is great, its walkable distance from the main tourist attractions. There’s a convenience store at the hotel which offers tax free service. And another convenience store just behind the hotel. We added breakfast which was also very nice. Fresh quality food with very efficient staff. We didn’t have English breakfast tea in our room so if you’re a tea drinker then you’ll need to bring your.own. However the highlight of my stay was their premium shampoo, conditioner and body wash! I NEED to find out where to get them. Had an amazing time! Thank you everyone at Hotel the Botanik."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

8/10 Good

"I requested makeup room, but I was pushed back for three hours because they have a priority rooms to be cleaned. My room was never mad up because I had to give up and rest. It was unacceptable. I left at 11 AM came back at 2 pm.It still wasn’t done. That was the only thing."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"This property pleasantly surprised us with its great value, convenient location, cleanliness, and friendly staff. We especially loved the indoor swimming pool and it was the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day of shopping and sightseeing in busy Korea! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Korea!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent

"Lotte City Hotel Guro was a great hotel to stay at. The hotel is well kept and the staff was nice and very helpful. Location wise, it was between a 25 to 35-minute train ride from everywhere I wanted to go around Seoul. It was around a 5-10 minute walk away from the nearest train station. The neighborhood the hotel was based in had a lot to offer as well (convenience stores, malls, restaurants, etc.). The gym, outdoor terrace, and onsite laundromat were great. It is also right by a bus stop that takes you to ICN airport which was very convenient. Would stay here again."
