Top Seodaemun Independence Park Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice big clean room"

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome 5 star hotel as expected."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet rooms, even though you are right in the heart of the city. Has an air purifier fan in every room if you like white noise. Nice and clean. Highly recommend!"

Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, quiet rooms, clean, great shower and bath tub with large bath towels and bath robes and great bathroom amenities."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel in a central location. Rooms spacious and clean, feel a tad dated, but bed comfortable and with all expected amenities. Friendly staff."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and quiet, great location from all the stores in myeongdong and not too far from the station! Perfect stay for solo traveling"

UH Continental SeoulCenter

10/10 Excellent

"I'm sure many are enamored with the giant tub in the middle of the room. Somehow I initially read it as a hot tub but it's just a regular tub and we used it exactly 1 time. It's actually too big to be comfortable. It's not ergonomically designed to include or relax. It's all hard right angles so best you can do is sit awkwardly. And takes forever to fill given how big it is so you start to feel guilty about all the water you're using. Aside from that novelty of an amenity, the rooms are very nice and spacious. The onsite staff is helpful and reachable via WhatsApp or Kakao (no phones in rooms). The location is superb if you're visiting the major sites in Jongno. Overall I'd highly recommend and would stay there again. Note to the property though: a hook or two in the bathroom was so desperately wanted. Seems like a small thing but it'd be nice to hang up the bathrobe or towels."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, super fun for the kids"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent
