Top Yongsan-gu Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was immaculate and the staff was so friendly. I will stay again"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"The EA was really well situated. Near to bus stops and subways, and within easy walking distance of the main central areas. Staff were incredibly helpful and always positive in their Support. The swimming pool was very welcome after a hard day walking. The room was very clean, well organised and the bed was wonderful."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Lotte City Myeongdong - and would stay here again or recommend to friends visiting Seoul for the first time. Just located slightly away for the busiest parts of Myeongdong so perfect to come back to and walk about from. Check-in was easy and the staff allowed us to check in 3 hours early which was perfect. Room was clean and tidy with the expected amenities. Only thing missing was an iron but there is an ironing room on the 3rd floor. Bathroom is a good size with a modern Japanese-style toilet. A perfect stay all around!"

Hamilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Hamilton several times over the last 25 years. The hotel, on the inside, never seems to look the same because of the renovations over the years. The hotel always looks clean, well maintained and modern. It is right next to the subway station which is an added plus. The staff are wonderful to deal with and we have never had an issue. It is in a busy area and I have taken to bringing a white noise machine with me to drown out the noise from the street."
