Top Jongno-gu Hotel Reviews

The Prima Hotel Jongno

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean but very small. It was raining outside and leaking into the room from the window but didn't affect us much. Overall average stay."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent. One block from "The Stream" running thru Seoul which we found provided a nice short cut to various sites around Seoul. Staff was excellent. They were attentive and helpful. The Hotel had an excellent morning breakfast that you can include when you reserve a room or you can drop in like my wife and I did for single day pay. A vibrant maket place is within a short walk for food and other gift shopping and we would take home dinner or lunch quite often after a day of sight seeing. Five Star Hotel for sure."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal location, close to main city sites and wonderful coffee shops and bakeries, with easy access to different major metro rails without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle when you need a quiet nights rest. Spacious accommodations with clean bathrooms, metal tea kettle, small fridge, and access to gym and coin laundry if needed Front desk staff were every friendly and helped call next hotel to check if they could accommodate luggage storage Would definitely stay here again"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

4/10 Poor

"5월 25일 투숙했던 이용객입니다. 전체적으로 신라스테이 브랜드에 기대했던 서비스 수준에 미치지 못해 실망스러웠습니다. 특히 26일 오전 9시경 프런트 데스크에 근무하던 직원과 조식 식당의 여성 직원의 접객 태도는 엉망이었습니다. 귀찮은듯한 불친절한 응대 때문에 아침부터 기분이 많이 상했네요. 서비스 교육이 다시 필요해 보입니다. 반면, 26일 저녁 늦은시간 발렛 주차 서비스를 진행해 주신 직원분은 정말 친절하고 professional 하셔서 큰 위안이 되었습니다. 특정 직원들의 불친절함 때문에 호텔의 전체적인 이미지가 깎이는 것 같아 아쉽습니다. 개선을 바랍니다."

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

10/10 Excellent

"Amid hotel has always been our choice when we stay in Seoul. The hotel location is perfect, within walking distance to all popular spots like the bukchon hanok, Insadong shopping street and Ikseondong area. Myeongdong is also nearby, yet the hotel is in a more quiet spot opposite Jongno Police building. Getting from the airport is also convenient via airport limousine bus and it only takes a couple of minutes from the bus stop on Jong-ro near Jongno tower. Amid staff are very accommodating and helpful. The hotel room is clean and decent size. Overall it ticks all the boxes for us."
