HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location and very spacious"

G3 Hotel Chungmuro

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located close to metro, restaurants and shops .Airport bus all close to hotel. Staff are friendly and professional. Will stay here again"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! The place was clean and fresh and I love the fact the bathrooms have a bidet. We came during a heat wave but the Air Con was strong and our room was nice and chilly. Also, I really love the fact that there's a 24 hour convenience store on the first floor so I can get snacks and drinks if need be."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic three night stay at this property. The executive level room was perfect - the breakfast buffet came in so handy and the food was absolutely delicious. Happy hour in the executive lounge was also so wonderful to have when I didn't have the energy to go outside and explore - and the views of the city were incredible. I really enjoyed the outdoor pool and pool deck time, although was disappointed that it wasn't integrated with the rooftop bar. They are also very strict about the time limits on the pool The gym was well appointed and I made use of it several times - excellent selection of weights and cardio machines. The room itself was incredible - blackout blinds and perfectly silent rooms made sleeping easy. The giant bathtub was such a wonderful perk and I used it as much as I could. Only a 10 minute taxi to Seoul Station and well situated to access transit routes as well. Would definitely stay here again."
