Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Great breakfast & staff"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help, making me feel comfortable throughout my stay. The hotel was very clean, and my room was serviced daily, so it always felt fresh and well-maintained when I returned after a day of exploring. One of the biggest conveniences was the on-site laundry service. Since I’ve been traveling for over a month, having laundry facilities available made a huge difference and made my stay much more comfortable. The location is another major highlight. The hotel is just a short walk from City Hall Station (Line 2, Exit 9), making it incredibly convenient to travel throughout Seoul and even to the Incheon area using public transportation. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafés, and attractions nearby. Overall, I highly recommend ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun for its excellent service, cleanliness, convenient amenities, and outstanding location. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Seoul."
