Top Secret Garden Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay there. Breakfast was good and very convenient to everything."

Hanok Hotel DAAM

10/10 Excellent

"They had blow dryer, laundry machines so it felt really complete. The only thing is the women’s floor just needs more than 2 sinks and I’m not sure why they don’t provide large towels but we were fine. Breakfast was always amazing and the staff was really helpful in holding onto our luggage after we checked out."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Check-in was incredibly easy and efficient. We were also able to check in earlier than the standard time by signing up for the hotel’s free loyalty program. The sign-up process was quick and painless, and it was well worth it for the added convenience of getting into our room early. The location is fantastic. The hotel is conveniently close to the train, making it easy to get around, and it’s also within easy reach of Myeongdong Night Market and Namdaemun Market. There were plenty of things to explore, eat, and shop for right nearby, which made the location especially convenient. Another great feature was the washer and dryer in the lobby. You do need cash to use them, but having laundry facilities right at the hotel was incredibly convenient. It meant we could wash clothes during our trip and avoid bringing a suitcase full of dirty laundry home! Our room also had exquisite views of the city and surrounding hills. Waking up to that scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall, this hotel offered a great combination of convenience, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!"

N285 Hotel Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here! The rooms are incredibly small, but it was enough space for us to manage 5 suitcases and 2 backpacks. Everything was so clean, the staff was lovely, and the spa was incredible, plus you get a discount on the spa during your stay! We would happily stay again."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"This is a perfect location to experience Seoul. If you're looking for a reasonable price, good location, this is for you. If you spend a lot of time in your hotel room, book somewhere else."

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun No.2

10/10 Excellent

"That was my another Toyoko stay. Compare to others that was not the best. Breakfast was OK but the room was not clean, hair was everywhere. Bed was comfortable, bigger then other hotels offered."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Anook Hotel and Spa Seoul Jongno Anguk 1st

8/10 Good

"This was my second time staying here. My biggest problem is that check-in isn’t until 6 which is ridiculous. But otherwise it is a lovely property."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"
