Top Sungnyemun Gate Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The suites are very spacious and comfortable for families. The amenities are adequate, was impressed with the full size fridges in the suites, not sure if it's the same for normal rooms. Could be better if basic cooking equipment are provided in the room instead of having to rent (I think it comes with a fee?), and more plates provided (only 1 big and 1 small plate per room no matter how many guests staying in the room. We noticed for cleanliness wise, the hotel's policy seem to be bare minimum only. Housekeeping don't do dishes or clean floors daily, there's also strict guidelines on trash disposal. But overall we are still happy with our 7 night stay."

ROYAL HOTEL SEOUL Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"This is my first time ever visiting Korea, and for my first night I’m Seoul, I chose to stay here. The staff at this hotel was very friendly, courteous, and helpful during my 1-night stay in June 2026. The workout room in Floor B1 is a bit small but has all the essential machines and dumbbells for a proper workout, which I really appreciate. The breakfast buffet was also fresh, nutritious, and delicious! I very much enjoyed dining there for breakfast. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I’d love to come back in the future!"

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay from beginning to finish. The hotel was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The room was spacious, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. The location was also perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Everything about our stay was seamless and relaxing. We truly felt at home and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!"
