Top Alive Museum Hotel Reviews

The Prima Hotel Jongno

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for about 7 nights at the prima hotel and it was amazing!!! There was wifi, AC, a mini fridge and a TV for entertainment. The rooms were very clean and the service was amazing as the staff were all very kind. The cleaning staff were very sweet and would greet us whenever they saw us haha. Fresh towels were always provided whenever the room was cleaned and as we opted for the breakfast, we found it decent enough and the fries were really good LOL! I would definitely stay here again as there were no faults! Location was very convenient as well since it’s a 20 minute walk from the LOTTE dept mall and the main streets of Myeongdong. Also very close to the main subway line as well. 100/10 would recommend!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"We stayed 6 nights, so really appreciate the in-suite laundry facility. The breakfast was great and service was excellent. The facility is a bit old, but clean. The television is in an awkward place in our suite though. It’s in the bedroom beside the headboard. Would be nice to have some utensils, plates, but you can rent them from the hotel. Location is good. We used the subway which is a few mins walk. Overall it’s a good stay."

Lotte Hotel Seoul

8/10 Good

"The hotel is centrally located with the Lotte shopping mall just downstairs. This is the second time we have stayed at the hotel and it is just amazing for convenience. I would say that its very expensive and we didn't opt for breakfast this time. We had to pay extra to use the traditional Korean spa so we didn't use it this time either."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice area and right to the Gyeongbokgung palace and temple! Nice staff and great environment. Only downside was that the hallway where my room was humid and the carpet was lifting in some areas. Besides that, the room, view, staff, food, and environment were amazing!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️"

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Amid Hotel Seoul. The location is outstanding, within walking distance of many of Seoul's most important historical attractions, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. We were also impressed by the exceptional cleanliness throughout the hotel. Our room and all the common areas were spotless every day. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul."
