Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay here in Seoul! This hotel was conveniently located next to the shopping Mecca of Myeongdong, next to two train stations, buses and across the street from the Lotte Department Store. Outside of location, the daily breakfast is EXCELLENT and I highly recommend adding that to your booked room. It was a fantastic way to start our day before exploring. The facilities were very clean, the washer and dryer are on every floor, alongside a steamer and iron. The staff were also very nice and helpful! I enjoyed my stay here and I hope to come back the next time I am in Seoul."

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"overall, the room was clean, with the exception of 1 day. Luna was extremely helpful, during check-in and check-out. She was also very helpful with restaurant and food recommendations. 1st meal in seoul was going to a nearly korean bbq place that she had recommended. yum! good location - it is close to 2 stations (7-10 min walk) but not ideal if you have problems walking. great hotel and loved the in-room laundry machine (premier room). in-room dining was also good. will stay here again."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Myeongdong! The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, and their communication was excellent throughout our stay. The location was also a major plus. The hotel is very accessible and conveniently located near many restaurants, shops, transportation, and attractions in Myeongdong, making it easy to explore Seoul. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul. We would happily stay here again on our next trip to Korea!"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and comfortable room. The staff were professional, although not particularly friendly. We were given a room on the 6th floor, and unfortunately the view was obstructed by the building’s lower roof, which was disappointing. Overall, a good hotel with an excellent location."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel’s location is very convenient. It is within walking distance to the subway station and bus stops. There are also a couple of tourist attractions nearby. You don’t have to worry about food as there are several restaurants and convenience stores nearby that is if you wish to eat outside the hotel. The room was cleaned every day. The staff was nice and respectful. They spoke enough English so that we could understand. The breakfast buffet was good; although it did not change much from day to day. There were eggs, bread, bacon, waffles, fruit, yogurt, salads, coffee, juice, etc. There is a laundry room but with only 2 small washers and 1 small dryer. It is free though; they even provide the detergent. In summary, I would return to this hotel or maybe another Shilla Stay, 🙂"

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very courteous and helpful"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Our air conditioning at room does not work properly and they told us it's normal and to just close the window so the heat will not go on"

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"The stay was pleasant, and the driver who picked me up was very responsible. There was a minor issue with the bathroom: it was stocked with two bottles of shampoo but lacked body wash."
