Nouvelle Hotel and Spa by Anook Seoul Jongro

Jongno-dong

"The hotel is located in an ally 5 mins walk from Gwangjang Market 。 The nearest Subway station was 8 mins walk away. Rooms were clean, but small, about 7-8 m2 per room. We have to take turns to open our suitcases in order to be able to take / put things in and from it. However, the staff were friendly enough. Free bottles of water were given daily. Though no housekeeping service were provided during the 4 nights we have stayed, which was a disappointment. "

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and clean "

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"What an excellent hotel! I thoroughly enjoyed staying here and highly recommend. Firstly, location is excellent – right next to City Hall Metro stop and a couple of minutes from the limo bus stop to the airport. Lots of convenience stores and eateries close by. Walkable to so many places. Secondly, the room – clean and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was modern. The only thing I would change would be a walk-in shower, however, some people may prefer a tub. Additionally, there was a small refrigerator with a kettle and tea/coffee (no milk though). Thirdly, fantastic staff from reception to breakfast staff. Finally, breakfast - made to order. I tried the different cooked eggs - excellent especially sunny-side up. Looking forward to visiting the wonderful Seoul again."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The best modern apartment hotel we’ve ever stayed. Very spacious, bed was comfy, lots of storage space around the apartment, air dresser, nice spacious and modern kitchen, Smart TV, washing machine/dryer, walking distance to tourist attractions and Myeongdong."

L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and well kept. The staff were absolutely amazing. The best part was that they still allowed you to use the air conditioner even though it is winter. The cherry on top is the air purifier in the room being someone who suffers from allergies and asthma year round that was amazing. 10/10 would highly recommend this hotel for people to stay at. "
