Top Arko Art Center Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in great location close to bars, cafe and restaurants. Rooms provide kitchen,washer and dryer. Clean towels and bottled water everyday and rooms are cleaned every two days. Helpful staff and convenience 24 hour store on site as well as gym, pool table, screening room and golf play onsite. Breakfast came as a fee we decided not to have breakfast at hotel as plenty of cafes nearby with reasonable prices. We found Uber taxis very cheap on travel everywhere as well as airport if you’re a family of four."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very helpful. The location is the best you can get if you want to be in the middle of Meyongdong. The rooms in Seoul are small, this one felt larger. AC wasn’t working but it wasn’t that hot in October. Building is in good shape. The shower doors need to be closed, in Seoul most hotel showers are half glass so water gets everywhere."

Mayplace Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a good location - close enough to get to palaces, shops and restaurants but far enough away from the tourist hot spots to feel special. Nearby are plenty of all the amenities you could need. The hotel is modern and clean, the staff are very helpful. Our corner room was spacious and clean. The bed was huge!"
