Top Gwangjin-gu Hotel Reviews

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"The staff in this hotel is the most friendly ever in South Korea. Location was amazing, just 4 minutes away buses and metro.It was a cool place."

Lotte Hotel World

8/10 Good

"The location, property, and cleanliness were excellent. I did not have breakfast, so I cannot comment on it personally, but I heard that it was very good. Some staff members were kind and professional, while others were smiling but not particularly kind, helpful or proactive. I stayed at the Lotte Hotel near City Hall two years ago and was deeply impressed by the kindness of the staff, which influenced my decision to stay at this location. Unfortunately, the level of service and hospitality here was not comparable. That said, this did not apply to every staff member, only some. I found the service at the neighboring Sofitel to be much better, although I preferred the rooms and facilities at Lotte. I also ordered in-room dining, but the food was mediocre, especially considering the high price, which was very disappointing. I do not think I would stay here again. However, for families traveling with children, this could be an excellent choice because of its convenient location, rooms, and facilities."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a brilliant location to explore Seoul and in particular the night market. The hotel itself is good, clean, and good amenities however the rooms are small particularly if there teenagers are sharing as my children were and limited storage. Breakfast was good and staff helpful."

Shilla Stay Guro Digital Complex Station

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean but smaller than what we are used to in the US. The breakfast buffet was excellent! We stayed long & each morning the chef already knew how we liked our eggs prepared. The staff were all very nice & attentive to details. The male front desk manager was very accommodating & friendly. Gave us drinks upon arrival."
