Top Gyeongbokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

8/10 Good

"Location is great however really busy. Which means it’s not that quiet in the suite. You can hear noises from neighbouring suites. Also the cleaning staff start cleaning well before checkout time (around 8-ish when check out is 11am) which adds to more noise. Overall the hotel is good and no general concerns."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice location and friendly front staff. They are extremely generous with the amenities. Room was very spacious and great. Only stayed for 2 nights for location close to seoul station. Will definitely stay here again for more nights. Couple restaurants right in front of the hotel as well and convenience store."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Very well situated and convenient. Extremely comfortable room. Beds were great!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The amenities in the room were a lifesaver. I got the room with two bedrooms which was basically a small apartment. It came equipped with a small kitchen, washer and dryer, and even a closet steamer so you can look good every day. The view of Namsan tower was also great and we could not have asked for a better location--convenient but not too busy with people. Will definitely be staying here again."

"Room, staff, everything was really good, with the exception of breakfast. In 6 nights I only had it twice as it wasn't very good at all. The second time I tried it I was sick afterwards."
