"We enjoyed our stay here for the first half of our trip that we booked it again for the last couple days in Seoul. The location of the hotel is very convenient. Close to the metro and shopping areas makes it easy when traveling with kids. The rooms are pretty spacious and amenities are great. Washer/dryer combo in the room, a great size refrigerator and freezer (which is helpful when you have an infant), a small kitchen with an stove, and dishes to use. In the basement there is cereal,...

Top Dongguk University Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"I quite liked the location being a bit of a walk from the main shopping and attractions, it felt a lot more peaceful than being immersed in the constant buzz of busy streets. I stayed 5 days in a suite which was absolutely amazing, then switched into a smaller double room which the size was plenty okay for two young women, however the room did have a funky smell that never seemed to go away. Overall I enjoyed my stay here and would come back again!!"

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."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"Great team providing personalised service and very professional and friendly. Having to book for swimming pool in advance and go at a specific time wasn’t ideal, however they have good facilities; would be great to be able to go to the swimming pool area whenever you find the time. The food and beverages were really good. Great atmosphere."

Travelodge Dongdaemun Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Travelodge Dongdaemun! The location is ideal—it’s centrally situated, so you’re never far from the Dongdaemun Market, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and all the downtown sights. Plus, being close to several subway lines made getting anywhere in Seoul super easy. The room was basic, but it was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. After being outside in the heat and humidity all day, coming back to a room with great, individually controlled air conditioning was a lifesaver for a peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff was also very helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend if you want a clean, convenient base for exploring Seoul!"

Hotel Kukdo

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone at the front desk, the housekeeping team, and all the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived, and their warm hospitality made our stay truly enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and left with great memories. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so pleasant!"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my husband absolutely love staying at this hotel everytime we are in Seoul. Very convenient in terms of location to transportation: the airport limousine bus drops off a minute away, station access within a couple minutes, and bus stops just a few steps from the entrance of the hotel. There is also a port cochere for easy taxi or car drop offs and pick ups. There is a plethora of food options in every direction, including some nightlife one street behind the hotel. This hotel’s staff is always friendly and respectful, extremely clean, and has a nice view of Gyeongbokgung Palace and the surrounding city. The room size is enough for a couple. We got a room where the toilet room and shower room were separate so that was a plus. One of my favorite amenities that they provide are collagen eye masks which are perfect when you’ve traveled for hours and need a refresh. Highly recommend this hotel for short or long stays. We can’t wait for our next trip to the Hotel Gracery Seoul!"
