"お勧めはしません。夏に泊まった時、部屋に無数の虫が沸いています。ゴキブリの赤ちゃんもいました。部屋に入るまでもホテル自体に虫が多いし、匂いも厳しいです。虫が大丈夫な人なら、価格は安いので泊まるメリットはあるでしょう。立地は明洞通りなどが近くにありアクセスは非常にいいです。"

"My family of 3 stayed for 2 nights at room 901 and we LOVE it. The terrace was a plus, we spent our morning breakfast there.

Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Fairly new hotel so everything about the rooms is still nice, clean and fresh. Staff was super helpful and they all seem to speak perfect English at the front desk. Best thing about the room was the washing machine and clothes steamer/dryer. Free bottles of water each day is also a nice plus. As for downsides, it's not as close to the subway entrance as some other nearby hotels, but it's still less than a 5 minute walk and it's situated between Euljiro 3 and Euljiro 4 subway stops so you have access to Lines 2, 3, and 5. Also less than a 5 min walk is the Airport Limousine Bus stop, just across Euljiro, in front of the Hotel Kukdo. Since the hotel is tucked back from the street it can be a bit disorienting trying to find it depending on which subway exit you come out of. There is currently a ton of major construction going on as well. Once that construction is done I'm sure there will be a clearer path to the hotel. Overall I quite like this property."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I loved our stay in the hotel. Staff were so helpful and both our rooms - residence and standard-were beautiful. Excellent location with subway a minutes walk and right at an airport bus stop. Across road from DDP building and good shops nearby. We intend to stay here again when we visit next year!"

Hotel Manu Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for one night before flying out the next day. They offer triple rooms (3 twin beds) which was perfect for our party of 6. Only a short walk (500 m) from Seoul Station. Take the elevated walkway (called Seoullo 7017) from just north of the station (there is an elevator) and walk toward the hotel. Enter Soulista Bar & Cafe and the hotel desk is on the right. Check in/out was super easy, staff are excellent. Only a few blocks from Namdaemun market."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Room was very nice and front desk staff was friendly. Breakfast was delicious with a huge variety of options! Loved the location in that it was right in front of a subway station making it extremely convenient. Hotel provided free laundry facilities which was awesome. Loved the L’Occitane toiletries. One thing I did not like was that the shower door was a half shower door that could not be closed making showering quite inconvenient. Overall it was a great stay at the hotel and I would definitely stay here again!"
