THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

"Room’s fantastic and staff are lovely. Breakfast is well worth it"

UH Continental SeoulCenter

8/10 Good

"It was just okay for me. The room had a weird smell idk from what or if it was just cause I was by the maintenance room? There was occasionally a sewage smell and the ameneties are just okay. There are also no hooks for towels or anything in the place 😩 Housekeeping is good, the other service was just average, and location is super good!!! You can go any direction to shop. Close to the mall and convenience stores and the department store food court"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Chambre propre et bon déjeuner"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 4 nights in ENA Suite Hotel in late October. The staff, location, cleanliness, room size were all great. The breakfast was excellent and two complimentary bottle water per day were very nice. In the negative side, there are not that much closets in the room. We will stay in the this hotel again and again, this was a great choice."

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."

Koreana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, clean room, friendly staffs."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Generously sized room and bathroom, great selection at the breakfast buffet. Safe location and right next to a metro station, several bus routes and the airport bus."
