Top Gyeongbokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

8/10 Good

"Fabulous location, very nice people, terrific art on walls and in adjacent museum. However, standard rooms are TINY. Fine for a single person. We are a couple and we suspected that but counted on the "guest lounge" as a place where we could get comfy chairs, talk, work on our email, read, etc. Sadly, the "lounge" is a computer and two low tables with four not-comfortable dinig style chairs in a small room with a vending machine and all hard surfaces. Would get larger room or not stay here unless the room is only for sleeping and not for relaxing."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent
