Top Donghwa-dong Hotel Reviews

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Would stay again. Thanks to all the hotel staff who were welcomed us with open arms"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super friendly and really helpful. Our room was nice and roomy, and the location is fantastic—that’s why we returned after staying here last year. We ran into a few hiccups at first, but the hotel was so accommodating and even offered us an upgrade. Since we were checking out soon, we stayed put, and our room was cleaned every day while the issues were fixed. We’d definitely come back!"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

8/10 Good

"The hotel location was very convenient. It was clean, pretty well maintained. The staff were very helpful and were always available. The breakfast was very basic. The room and bathroom was very tiny. If you have luggage make sure you don’t pick the single room with bunk beds. Overall it was a pleasant stay."
