Top National Folk Museum Hotel Reviews

Orakai Insadong Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, in the middle of lots of shopping and food options. Subway stations are pretty close and within walking distance including some of the main touristy areas. Staff was very helpful and nice, amenities and rooms are looking a tad outdated but they are big and spacious. If back in Seoul I may stay here again, you can't have a better location."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

N285 Hotel Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"I really appreciate one of the staff members, an old man who spoke Japanese fluently. He very politely and quickly responded to my request to change towels. Thanks!"

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly and English-speaking staff"

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bathroom light was flickering."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in an excellent location that made it easy to get to via the Metro and also easy to walk to many of the sights around. Many other aspects of the room and facilities were excellent. The 2 things preventing this being a 5 star review were the breakfast which was good but without a huge choice and was not replenished as much as we would expect, and the layout of the suite which was quite cramped with too few lights and sockets and a bizarrely placed tv."

HOTEL JAK Insadong by Anook

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent. Turn right when you step outside and you’ll find a unique street; turn left and there are plenty of Korean restaurants. It’s very close to Anguo Station—just a two-minute walk from Exit 6. It’s also close to many tourist attractions, all within a 15-minute walk. There are no public restrooms in the lobby, but there is luggage storage, as well as free instant noodles and coffee."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"First of all the location is perfect! Close to all the main attractions, metro and bus stations! The staff was kind and helpful, the room was impeccably cleaned every day, the view was amazing!! Breakfast was good but almost the same every day, some changes would be nice. One negative element though.. We were a couple and out 11 year old daughter and there was only one bed and it was not even king. It was barely comfortable but we managed..."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, Connected to duty Free shop and Lotte Dept store, Clean rooms although old hotel the renovation was done nicely. Only thing lacks lounge, bar area, they have a small corner that opens late, shut down being a lounge to serve lunch or dinner, I had to walk to next Hotel for a Coffey."
