Top Jongno-gu Hotel Reviews

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"It was comfortable stay. Staff and breakfast was great. This hotel can use larger lobby. The lobby was often crowded. Likely I will come back."

Le Mong Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is tucked away down a small alley, but don’t be put off. It’s a great location. Easy to walk or metro to main tourist sites or for strolling along the Cheonggyecheon Stream. Room was a good size and well appointed. We loved the dining room and other common spaces. Highly recommend this hotel. We stayed in a delux double room."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"Great location, great cleaning staff. However of the 5 hotels I stayed in during my trip to Korea, the triple room booked was the smallest! Stayed in a family room (one large double bed and two smaller beds) in Myeongdong earlier in the trip and that was a more comfortable room size-wise and amenities-wise and a decent location too. So in comparison, this hotel was just ok but this hotel was more central to a lot of other neighborhoods. Amenities is lacking (gym is small, need to pay for laundry while other hotel had a free in house spa for adults and laundry in the room). So if you want to be closer to the action, stay here. Room was fine but just cramped for 3 people and everything was in paper cups and just not as a comfortable of a stay as the other one we stayed in."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, rooms always clean as well as the overall hotel itself. Has a gs25 right outside and another convenience store inside the hotel ( I forgot the name of it ) so that’s super helpful for snack and goodies at anytime of the day. Perfect place if you as me"

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location near the Jong-gai metro station and an easy walk to the sights, palaces and night markets at Myeongdong. Nice well appointed rooms with all essential amenities for a 4-star hotel. Helpful staff. The restaurant has an evening offer of fried chicken and unlimited beer for 20000KRW for residents which was popular."
