Top Hyehwamun Gate Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and had two bathrooms! Very clean and in a good location."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience staying here; rooms were clean, spacious, and modern. Staff was super attentive and situated in a great location away from the busyness of Myeong-dong, which we appreciated. Check-in/check-out process was efficient and timely. My only real complaint is that the elevators did take some time to bring us down/up the building. Having a convenience store located within the hotel grounds was great, in addition to it being 24 hours. Very convenient! Overall, we had a pleasant experiencing staying here and would definitely return."

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)

10/10 Excellent

"Surpassed expectations! Great value and location. I was initially hesitant to stay at an Ibis due to a past bad experience in Europe, but I decided to give this location a chance since it was recently renovated. I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel was great—clean, modern rooms and very friendly staff. A major bonus was that the room was cleaned daily at no extra charge, which feels increasingly rare in Europe these days. The location is excellent, with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. You can also easily walk to Myeongdong or Changdeokgung Palace in about 20 to 30 minutes. My only minor feedback is regarding the bathroom: while clean and mold-free, it could use a modern update to match the rest of the room. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its price, quality, and location!"

Hanok Hotel DAAM

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel DAAM and would absolutely stay here again! The hotel is located in a charming neighborhood filled with narrow streets, traditional architecture, and plenty of great restaurants and cafés within walking distance. It felt like we were experiencing a more authentic side of Seoul. The hotel itself has so much character, which made our stay even more memorable. It was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always happy to help. If you're looking for a unique place to stay with a great location, exceptional cleanliness, and friendly service, I highly recommend Hotel DAAM. We can't wait to come back!"
