Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a great location! There are plenty of public transportation options nearby, including an airport limousine bus. The hotel was clean, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A big advantage for me was the coin-operated washing machines. There are lots of cafés and restaurants in the area, yet the hotel itself is in a very quiet and peaceful location. I also loved the little touch of receiving a face mask every morning such a nice surprise! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel."

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Would recommend to a friend!"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"I think everything was pretty good. I was unsure where to stay cause I wanna stay at the hotel but it was nice. They have water there if you asked for it at the front desk but for some reason, our AC wouldn’t go below 22 three Celsius set up for 18°C but they had a hard time lowering but we were able to enjoy it though"

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

8/10 Good

"Is very good location with a lot restaurants. Close to subway."

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with a great gym and pool. Their bar is fantastic as well, make sure you check it out - really creative and delicious cocktails! Staff were super helpful. There's a terrific public space just outside the hotel and we loved walking around as the location was so central. Highly recommended for couples or families."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location"

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice area and right to the Gyeongbokgung palace and temple! Nice staff and great environment. Only downside was that the hallway where my room was humid and the carpet was lifting in some areas. Besides that, the room, view, staff, food, and environment were amazing!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️"

Fraser Place Central Seoul

8/10 Good

"The one bedroom family unit was perfect for our family of 4, with one queen bed and one king bed. The location is great, with walking distance to Namdaemun Market and other key central soul attractions. The property is very clean and well maintained, and it's great that they have a pool on site. One modest complaint is that we did not love breakfast. Some items didn't seem fresh (For example, the cereal is placed in open air bowls, so it gets stale quickly, and the bacon tasted old). Also, the dryer took forever and wasn't effective. The dry cycles were 4 hours, and we needed two to dry each load. The units also have a single unit for washing and drying, which also adds to laundry time. Overall, though, it's a great lodging option with excellent service."
