Top Sungnyemun Gate Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, very conveniently located. The only issue is the tiny room but that’s normal in a city like Seoul"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was large, clean, quiet and full of useful ammeneties like a working laundry machine and dryer and a stovetop. The bathroom was nice, the room had two heat pumps and the gym was surprisingly well equipped. Anyone looking for a fancy stay for a reasonable price should definitely check this out!"

HOTEL MYEONGDONGJANG

8/10 Good

"The location was great and it was surprisingly quiet considering the busyness of the area. There are tons of restaurants and lots of shopping and the proximity to the metro stations make it a great place to stay. The hotel uses self check in and it was decently clean and well maintained. There is one hotel clerk available but you mostly don’t need anyone. Transportation to/from the airport is super easy with the stop within a few blocks away."

Grand Hyatt Seoul

8/10 Good

"J’ai passé seulement une nuit au Grand Hyatt et je suis arrivée tard en soirée. Ainsi il est plus difficile d’avoir une opinion objective étant donné que n’ai fait que dormir sans utiliser les différents services. Par contre, le meilleur point en leur faveur est leur situation géographique près de tout à Séoul. Si je revenais à Séoul, je choisirais cet hôtel pour mieux l’apprécier."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Overall, this is a good choice for staying in Myeongdong as it is just across the street from where the concentration of shops begin. The room we booked with two beds (one single and double bed) was a little tight for our group of 3 but we were still able to find space to lay out our 3 large luggages. The staff very are friendly and helpful. The check-in for me was a little confusing because the reception desk is not on the same floor as the main entrance and since I arrived late on the day of check in, I did not immediately know where to go. Normally there would be someone at the entrance bell desk, but because I arrived late, I guess they don't have anyone there at those later hours. It would help to have after hours signage. My only other complaint would be the gym. Although, I appreciate that they at least have one, the equipment was limited and dated. With everything said, I would still stay here again because of the location and friendly staff."

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"The Westin Josun is a lovely property near the Myeong Dong shopping district in Seoul. The rooms are large and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would expect from a five star hotel. The staff are so friendly, respectful and helpful. The restaurant’s are top class.The variety at the breakfast buffet is second to none. I would highly recommend The Westin for a stay in Seoul and would definitely return."
