Top Insa-dong Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"best place ever"

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

8/10 Good

"Pretty good every things"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The concierge, Mr. Woo was exceptionally helpful for us"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2

10/10 Excellent

"Staff friendly great breakfast, good location would definitely recommend 😀"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"We were genuinely very impressed with Hotel Botanik Myeongdong. When our taxi first dropped us off, we were actually a little unsure about the entrance, as the ground-floor lift lobby is quite small. But once you reach the reception level, you start seeing how good this hotel really is. Check-in was smooth and easy. We stayed for six days in a two-bedroom room. The rooms aren’t huge, but everything is very cleverly planned and laid out. We had a living area, plenty of storage, washing machine, dryer and electric cooktop. There were no cooking utensils initially, but when I asked, the staff arranged cookware and cutlery very quickly. The main bedroom had a queen bed, TV and walk-in wardrobe, and the second bedroom worked perfectly for our daughter. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. Every evening when we returned after a long day out, the room had been cleaned and tidied beautifully. Breakfast was very good, and the staff were attentive and helpful with all our queries, including arranging our airport taxi. They also have a reasonably priced luggage-storage facility. The location is excellent. Myeongdong is lively, convenient and close to many tourist attractions, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Overall, we were totally impressed. Next time we visit Korea, I think we already know where we want to stay!"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

8/10 Good

"The hotel has an excellent location. Breakfast choices are ample"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is a fantastic choice if you want to stay in the heart of downtown Seoul. The lobby is located on the 21st floor, and my room was on the 18th floor with a wonderful view. They also provide a great selection of room amenities. The only minor downside is that taxis cannot pick you up or drop you off directly in front of the hotel, as it’s located in a pedestrian-only zone where cars aren't allowed from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. However, that’s also a huge plus—you’re just a few steps away from all the energy and excitement of Myeongdong without any traffic noise!"

N285 Hotel Insadong

8/10 Good

"Great location, staff are helpful, however the rooms are on the smaller side and there isnt much space in the bathrooms."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"It was excellent experience, really recommend to everyone."
