Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"This is an awesome hotel. The breakfast with Western, Korean, Japanese and Chinese options is to die for. A wonderful culinary experience. The rooms are spacious and come with a washer and dryer combo, and other amenities. The hotel is closely situated to major Joseon-era palaces, shopping, and parks. Absolutely fabulous!"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, right in Myeongdong. Next to Lotte duty free mall. Friendly staffs, even though hotel room is small but well-kept. Their breakfast is also a must to do, since most places in South Korean won’t open until 10am or later."

Hotel Manu Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Great little hotel very close to the station. I’ve stayed here a couple of times because of the location. Only gripe is that each time I’ve stayed there’s been some mark on my blanket. Don’t know if the cleaners just don’t care that much. Bed is very comfy, all amenities provided, fast wifi. I just wish the housekeeping cleaned the sheets better"
