Top Sungnyemun Gate Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, very well located. Breakfast was good, good co-working space. Improvements - second bedroom isn’t ventilated, had to crank up living room AC to get some air in the room."

HOTEL MYEONGDONGJANG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff were wonderful and very helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The amenities at the hotel were very good. There is a small wine cooler in the room instead of a mini fridge that was the only negative"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Hotel itself ideally located for most things, but even in deluxe room furniture pretty basic, but beds comfy. Breakfast was OK but no Black/Breakfast tea, only Earl Grey or fruit teas, Coffee from machine was lukewarm but if you ask for hot milk they will bring it. After a long day site-seeing was disappointed to find that there nowhere to get a drink in evening, small lounge on 17th floor but only sold spirits. oh for a glass of wine. Most of the staff had reasonable English, whereas I had no Korean, and were very helpful."

Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome stay at the Marriott in M"

UH Continental SeoulCenter

8/10 Good

"Hotel was right in front of a subway entrance which made commuting very handy. Room was spacious and clean. Staff was not very helpful...I had requested non feather pillows and bedding (extremely allergic) and I was told that the entire hotel only had feather pillows!!!! I asked for a recommendation for where I could buy a pillow in the morning and the girl said she would let me know but she never did. There are no towel hooks (towels kept at entrance of room and not in the actual bathroom) and no face cloths. Rooms very clean"

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Good not great - I booked one of the character themed rooms on the 14th. These are more expensive. The themed decor is excellent. However the room is not really fit for two adults - only one wide table and only one charger near the bed. The chargers on the desk didn’t work and the far charger near the tv was low voltage and so took a she to do anything. The air con is centrally maintained and during our stay was too cold. Also the vents don’t appear to have been cleaned. When opting to open the window this is behind the desk and if open the curtains aren’t thick enough to keep any light out with the window closed (the window has a blind on it). The entire room (likely as the window is never open and the air on never cleaned) is very musky and humid. A dehumidifier is provided but with the lack of functional plugs it wasn’t possible to use this. The bathroom was fine but the shower head desperately needed cleaning. The real selling points of this hotel were the location and the excellent buffet breakfast"

Sejong Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was very close to the Main Street, shops, restaurants and public transport. Room was very clean. Breakfast is very simple."

L’Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to start an exploration of Seoul!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice accommodations. Made the travel easy!"
