Top Hwanghak-dong Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

8/10 Good

"For people who are traveling more than a week needs to adjust jet lag. Come on the way about Justin Jetlag is to utilize sauna and nap. All other five star hotels that executive people uses souna with the sleeping room. Only this hotel will not let us use sleeping room…. I hope the Grand Lotte Seoul Hotel will change the policy and let us use this sauna and sleeping room."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic unlike I expected. I always stayed at Lotte City Hotel Gimpo Airport but Lotte City Hotel Guro is much better in terms of the eatery places and other facilities. The parking was also very convenient. I was surprised that there were so many foreigners because Guro is not the tourist place."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located within Seoul in Myeongdong, but just outside (essentially one block removed) of all the action so it is much more quieter and a significant positive for me. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. Highly recommend having the buffet at least once on your visit. Hotel is conveniently located next to the subway so it is extremely easy and accessible to get around every major neighborhood. It is also walking distance to Seoul Station, but I would recommend taking a cab/taxi/Uber for convenience as the area is generally within a major node for traffic."
