"By yourself check in/out so easy no waiting, Rooms are small for 4 suitcases but oké, a closet would be a major upgrade because you don’t have to live out your suitcase. Great location 5 min walk from metro and 10 min from citycenter ( foodstreet ) Price for the room is great so, it is no luxury hotel but for this price, clean quiet, bed are great what do you need more ??I would come here again next trip if it is availible !"

Top Seodaemun Prison History Museum Hotel Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are friendly they upgraded us since the door key was not working. Location is convenient to shopping."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Lotte City Hotel Myeongdong and would happily stay here again. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome. Everyone we interacted with was consistently friendly, warm, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. The excellent service really stood out and made our time in Seoul even more enjoyable. Our room was very clean, comfortable, and always made up promptly. Breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety of selections each morning and plenty of options to choose from. The location was extremely convenient. Taxis were readily available downstairs, making pick-ups and drop-offs very easy, and there are two convenience stores nearby for anything you might need. The Myeongdong area is also within easy walking distance, which made it very convenient for shopping, restaurants, and exploring the neighborhood. There were just a couple of inconveniences regarding the in-room amenities. Basic items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower caps, and combs were not provided. More notably, there was no iron or ironing board in the room. To iron our clothes, we had to go down to a shared ironing room on the 3rd floor. For a hotel of this price point and standard, we found this somewhat inconvenient and would have appreciated having an iron and ironing board available in the room. That said, these points did not take away from what was otherwise an excellent stay."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was certainly a highlight of my stay, offering an extravagant buffet with a wide variety of hot, cold, and other options, including live stations for noodles and omelets. I truly enjoyed my time here. While the room was a bit compact for my extra-large suitcases, we managed quite well. Complimentary water was provided daily, and the restroom facilities were perfect, especially with the seated toilet, which I believe guests from Western countries would particularly appreciate. We were at 31st floor with amazing view."

Fraser Place Central Seoul

8/10 Good

"The one bedroom family unit was perfect for our family of 4, with one queen bed and one king bed. The location is great, with walking distance to Namdaemun Market and other key central soul attractions. The property is very clean and well maintained, and it's great that they have a pool on site. One modest complaint is that we did not love breakfast. Some items didn't seem fresh (For example, the cereal is placed in open air bowls, so it gets stale quickly, and the bacon tasted old). Also, the dryer took forever and wasn't effective. The dry cycles were 4 hours, and we needed two to dry each load. The units also have a single unit for washing and drying, which also adds to laundry time. Overall, though, it's a great lodging option with excellent service."
