"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 Jongmyo Shrine Hotel Reviews

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2

10/10 Excellent

"I loved every bit of my stay at Nine Tree. Amazing staff.. comfortable..clean.. location is perfect. Highly recommended"

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."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Decent property. Beds are very confortable. Air Con very quiet and perfect flow. Very good breakfast for a fair price. Friendly staff and service. Rooms are a bit dated mine had some dust on the desk. Quite expensive $$ for what it is."

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."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely clean and the room was spacious. I loved the scent of the shower gel/shampoo/conditioner, the shower and toilet were clean and had their own space/door. Loved the fact that the room had a washer and dryer and the convenient stores nearby and on the 2nd floor made doing laundry a breeze. They even have a coin luggage next to the hotel to store luggage in case you arrive before check-in or decide on last-minute shopping after check-out. Walking distance to Myeongdong market and was able to stroll at Cheonggyecheon stream every evening since it's half a block from the hotel. We will definitely be staying at this place again in the future. Thank you for an amazing 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."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location. Clean and all essential amenities. Good selection for breakfast. Staff friendly, some with very limited English."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

10/10 Excellent
