"Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Breakfast buffet was basic but good. Well located near city hall station, restaurants and convenience stores."

New Seoul Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at this property two separate times. Both times were in the Superior Double rooms. Both stays the room was very clean and A/C worked very well. I found the price point to be appropriate considering the location and amenities. Staff was also very polite and professional. I found it was really close to shopping, great restaurants and can walk to the main tourist areas of Myeongdong such as the night market. Gwanghwamun Square is also relatively close. Catching the subway was relatively easy as there are different stops for the various lines. Overall, I truly enjoyed this hotel; and will definitely return on my next trip to Seoul."
