NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL DONGDAEMUN

10/10 Excellent

"한국에 오실 외국 손님이라면 추천합니다 호텔은 비즈니스 호텔이라 조금 작긴하지만, 깔끔하고,, 직원들 친잘하십니다. 근처 서현역 및 버스 정류장이 잘 되어 있어서, 서울 및 근처 판교도 가깝고, 청소도 깔끔했습니다. 아핌 식사도 금처에서 10불이면 해결 가능합니다."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff on the 1st floor were highly dedicated and incredibly helpful. The cleaning staff on the 24th floor were also very professional, and the location is absolutely perfect."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The rooms had everything you needed but decoration was sparse and clinical. Room lighting was disappointing. Bed was against a wall, so it was awkward to go for an overnight toilet break without disturbing partner on open side of bed. Air con was efficient and washing machine in room welcomed."

Acube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great stay! It's close to the DDP and feels super safe to walk around at night. Easy access to cheonggyecheon and gwangjang market as well as subway. We did accidentally get locked out after hours and forgot the passcode (only written on a piece of paper!) so it might be a good idea to save that to your phone! We didn't have Korea phone numbers and had no way to contact the hotel, but the guy at the CU next door called the hotel for us, so it all worked out!"

"Excellent customer service. Clean rooms. The lobby is on the 14th floor with a 7-11! That was really nice surprise knowing you don't have to leave the hotel in the middle of the night if you're craving some snacks. Located above the Hyndai outlet mall and another 5-6 story wholesale clothing and accessories market beside it. Across the street from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park and in between 2 subway stations."

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent
