Top Gwangju Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"It had excellent service. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was good and were able to use the laundry. The room was kept clean."

Toyoko Inn Seoul Yeongdeungpo

8/10 Good

"All good. Free breakfast is also great. But no toothpaste and toothbrush was a bit of a downer and having buy them in the vending machine below."

Dormy Inn SEOUL Gangnam

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great stay! Was conveniently located. The complimentary water and tea in the lobby was always stocked, and so incredibly refreshing coming back in from the heat. The free ramen at night was great, too!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are great , rooms are clean, ammenities are very good , location is close to everything. The complementary bottle of water is great"

Toyoko Inn Seoul Gangnam

10/10 Excellent

"The single room I stayed in was compact, but much more spacious than other single rooms I've set tayed in. Had everything I needed, even a big desk to work from. Breakfast is Korean style, which might not suit some western tastes. Lobby is basic and small, if that matters to you, but has hot and chilled water and a microwave you can use. Overall a great location near public transport that will get you anywhere in the city. Will absolutely be checking this hotel for availability next time I'm in Seoul."

Lotte Hotel World

8/10 Good

"Very upscale hotel and the prices in the surrounding areas to match. If you're traveling on a budget, probably not the best area in South Korea. That said, three staff are great. Recommend buying your lotte world passes directly at the hotel if you're planning on going."

Glad Mapo

"0"

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"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"First of all the location is perfect! Close to all the main attractions, metro and bus stations! The staff was kind and helpful, the room was impeccably cleaned every day, the view was amazing!! Breakfast was good but almost the same every day, some changes would be nice. One negative element though.. We were a couple and out 11 year old daughter and there was only one bed and it was not even king. It was barely comfortable but we managed..."
