Top Insa-dong Hotel Reviews

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to stay to explore Insadong and neighboring areas. I really like that they have huge lockers to hold our luggage since we arrived very early in the morning. We booked the triple bed room, it’s small and tight for 3 people. No space to have 3 large open suitcases. I did try their breakfast buffet one morning and did enjoy it. I ate noodle soup and a fluffy, delicious omelet. I would stay here again and would recommend for anyone looking for a hotel in Insadong."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I made the right decision staying at this hotel! We were extremely impressed with how beautiful and comfortable the hotel was. It is a little bit further from the hustle and bustle of Seoul, but we didn’t mind not being in the middle of the action since we have a baby. Also, it’s worth mentioning, that the breakfast buffet is PHENOMENAL! Very much worth whatever price they’re charging. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, 10/10."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Lotte City Myeongdong - and would stay here again or recommend to friends visiting Seoul for the first time. Just located slightly away for the busiest parts of Myeongdong so perfect to come back to and walk about from. Check-in was easy and the staff allowed us to check in 3 hours early which was perfect. Room was clean and tidy with the expected amenities. Only thing missing was an iron but there is an ironing room on the 3rd floor. Bathroom is a good size with a modern Japanese-style toilet. A perfect stay all around!"
