Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so nice and helpful. We stayed in the Deluxe twin room which we felt was a good size for 2 people compared to other rooms we've stayed at in Seoul. The Seodaemun subway station stairs is right in front of the hotel. We noticed there were a lot of small food restaurants in walking distance but unfortunately, we didn't get to try many since we didn't realize it until our last day. We would stay there again!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel’s location was extremely convenient, with two subway stations just a short walk away. Some rooms are equipped with a built-in washer and dryer, which is especially convenient for families who want to pack light. The full-sized refrigerator was another great feature and much more useful than a typical mini fridge, providing plenty of space and keeping everything properly chilled. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to families traveling to Korea."

Hotel Manu Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Manque de nourriture adaptée à certaines conditions alimentaires comme le SII."

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Lovey peaceful area, but still convenient for everything. The room was well appointed and clean. The staff were excellent. Special mention for the reception staff who called a taxi for us quickly and gave the driver clear instructions on our behalf when we were late for our flight - Thank You!"

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Room is quite large, comfortable and well lit with windows. Location is excellent and close to everything! Sauna and spa well maintained. Noise was very minimal and barely audible. Floating floorboards creek quite loudly and not ideal especially at night when others are sleeping. Check-in process was a bit dis-organised and could also be improved. Overall a great stay!"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"They offer nice breakfast and front desk helps a lot , and hotel location is good and easy to go all location and traffic is convenient also"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Very nice and friendly staff. They all lead with speaking English. A lot of non Koreans there. Reasonably priced buffet breakfast for a good spread. Gym is tiny - one chest press, dumbbells, two treadmills, water bubbler. Rooms relatively small but nicely furnished. Best water pressure in shower. Would recommend but on the pricier side"

Koreana Hotel

"Bathroom light was flickering."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong
