"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Top Central Buddhist Museum Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great and super delicious breakfast buffet everything you want to best place in the whole universe😀"

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is located at a convenient location, with in walking distance to many tourist areas. The room is a bit small but other than than that I did not have any major concerns."

UH Continental SeoulCenter

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were lovely, however hotel maintenance needs more improvement."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"urban hotel with the front desk located on the 11th floor. One block off the most important street in Seoul."

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"Impressive looking hotel in a fabulous location. Near to palaces, etc. Very close to restaurants and coffee shops. Rooms were good but the furniture and bathroom is now looking a bit dated. Staff were good."

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The roof top area was a lovely space to relax at the end of the day. The hotel had an abundance of umbrellas available to borrow for a brief period of rain. The location was ideal for walking to shopping and restaurants."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"The location was fantastic. Exactly where I wanted to be. The room wasn't huge, but we loved that the sink was outside the bathroom, separated from the toilet and shower. That way, two people can use the bathroom at the same time instead of getting in each other's way. Building maintenance could be a little better; we saw overgrown weeds outside the first-floor elevator hall, and we thought the food photos attached to the columns in front of the building could be removed. Otherwise, we loved staying at this hotel."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for a short stay in Seoul this hotel is very close to a lot of local amenities, shopping and restaurants. We had an excellent stay and would return. The area is busy in the evenings so it was loud some nights but that wasn’t too much of a disturbance. The staff were incredibly helpful, there is coin-operated laundry which is very convenient. The breakfast offering is simple more continental style with espresso coffee, toast, cereal, enough to get you started for the day and with convenience stores and cafes close by if you prefer. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller with not very much korean. Thank you StepInn for a wonderful stay."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean but very small. Breakfast is a home run for sure. The property is right across the street from the Night Market which is super convenient."
