Top National Folk Museum Hotel Reviews

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lication, service were great. This is my 3rd time in Seoul and I have stayed at 4 different properties, this was the beat location wise. I don’t like how crazy Myeongdong is but this is close to it, yet not as much hustle and bustle. Next to palaces and close to many tourist attractions. Room was very clean and quite large for Seoul. The iPad in the room for room service was a great touch. Only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 starts is it’s dated. The bathroom is with a shower curtain and not more modern and clean shower doors. Also the water drains super slow in the tub. We called maintenance and they said that’s just how it normally is. So while you are taking a shower, the water accumulates up to uour ankles. Otherwise great"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Great Service!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, helpful and friendly staff."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a great location! There are plenty of public transportation options nearby, including an airport limousine bus. The hotel was clean, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A big advantage for me was the coin-operated washing machines. There are lots of cafés and restaurants in the area, yet the hotel itself is in a very quiet and peaceful location. I also loved the little touch of receiving a face mask every morning such a nice surprise! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel."

The Prima Hotel Jongno

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for about 7 nights at the prima hotel and it was amazing!!! There was wifi, AC, a mini fridge and a TV for entertainment. The rooms were very clean and the service was amazing as the staff were all very kind. The cleaning staff were very sweet and would greet us whenever they saw us haha. Fresh towels were always provided whenever the room was cleaned and as we opted for the breakfast, we found it decent enough and the fries were really good LOL! I would definitely stay here again as there were no faults! Location was very convenient as well since it’s a 20 minute walk from the LOTTE dept mall and the main streets of Myeongdong. Also very close to the main subway line as well. 100/10 would recommend!"

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with a great gym and pool. Their bar is fantastic as well, make sure you check it out - really creative and delicious cocktails! Staff were super helpful. There's a terrific public space just outside the hotel and we loved walking around as the location was so central. Highly recommended for couples or families."

N285 Hotel Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice area and right to the Gyeongbokgung palace and temple! Nice staff and great environment. Only downside was that the hallway where my room was humid and the carpet was lifting in some areas. Besides that, the room, view, staff, food, and environment were amazing!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️"
