Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Reliable service and quality facility. Great central location. Incredible fitness and pool facilities. Staff uniquely helpful."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"One elevator from ground floor to hotel lobby on the 5 th floor was disabled. It was not quickly fixed. Very slow and with groups of people too numerous to fit in the car. So, it took 2 or 3, trips to get upstairs to the lobby. This is more a reflection on the building owner rather than the hotel. Breakfast was well worth the cost. Good selection. Food presented well. Tons of selection."

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect central location, stayed with a family of 4."

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"We fully enjoyed our stay. The location was the key reason for picking the Stanford Hotel in Myeong Dong. Being so close to the main street with easy access to buses, subway, taxis, shops and places to eat - made our stay so easy. Easy walk to Lotte and Shinsege Department store, Namdaemun market, etc. Laundry facilities and excercise room was great. We stored some luggage on the main 9th floor as we are traveling to Busan and Toyko and will return back to the hotel at the end of our trip. The hotel is providing the lockers for free since we will be returning. So convenient! Breakfast buffet options were great and we really enjoyed the variety. Overall, great experience…and highly recommend for the price and convenient location!"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and location."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed"

Hotel Manu Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great location/ walking distance to Seoul station, Namdaemun Market and lots of other great spots. The guest room was spacious and well laid out- great for traveling w 3 adults with lots of luggage. The lobby bar was also a restaurant so convenient for waiting at check in/out. Despite the bustling lobby, the room was quiet and windows well insulated from outside noise. The elevator speed was good (if you’ve stayed in Seoul before, you will know what I mean). I have stayed at many hotels in many neighborhoods in Seoul, and I will most definitely stay here again."

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Staff"

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"2nd time staying at this property. Great location with short walk to subway stations for line 1 and 2, as well as airport bus 6015 and 6701. This hotel now has a locker setup for guests to store luggage on the 2nd floor."
