NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"Good location. Staff was not too helpful due to language barriers. Very little amenities"

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved my stay here. The breakfast was delicious and Asian-style (warning for westerners though, there are a lot of more asian style savory options!)-- I honestly regretted not adding it to my package initially! The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic as it was adjacent to the palaces as well as the quaint Ikseondong hanbok-style cafes and shops. The room was regularly cleaned and was spacious (though not exceptionally spacious by American standards, I felt it was perfect for me). I would stay here again if I returned to Seoul!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Right at the edge of Myeongdong. Don’t be confused with Lotte Hotel which is attached to the Dept store. Everything was very walkable and convenient. The city is also full of e-hailing rides and rails at very affordable price. Amenities in the hotel were all practical and relevant. They also have coin operated washers and dryers on site. The washers smells a little moldy and the dryers were a little weak in drying. Will return if visit again."

HotelArrive Seoulful

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay-thank you! The hotel has an elevator which makes it easy to carry our luggages up to our rooms. Free washer and dryer on site was perfect for our long trip, just bring your own detergent. Hotel location was in a quiet street, great location near convenience stores, restaurants, subway, and Kwang Jang Market which had lots of great food stalls. Rooms aren’t too big but very clean with enough space for two people as we didn’t spend much time in our rooms since we were out most of the day exploring. Overall a comfortable and pleasant stay."
