Top National Museum of Korea Hotel Reviews

Hotel the Designers Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is perfectly located. Not too far away from the tourist areas but far enough away to offer a quiet stay! Breakfast options at the hotel were very limited and there was not much storage for clothes in the room but they were the only downsides! The room was beautiful and a perfect size, the in room safe was very small and could only fit passports and money, not laptops or valuables of a similar size. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Be mindful that the hotel is near to Seoul station so you can hear the trains sometimes, but earplugs are available for free at the front desk if needed. We didn’t seem to hear the trains that much so we found it perfect."

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."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is excellent"

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Yongsan - Seoul Dragon City

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul Yongsan - Seoul Dragon City

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very helpful and the few I interacted with could speak English."

Shilla Stay Mapo Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and easy to stay. Rooms are quite small and building is getting a bit dated for the price we paid but it worked out fine for our need. Rooms were clean and it is very close to train. You can take the AREX all stops directly from ICN very easily. I would stay here again if need be."

Hamilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Hamilton several times over the last 25 years. The hotel, on the inside, never seems to look the same because of the renovations over the years. The hotel always looks clean, well maintained and modern. It is right next to the subway station which is an added plus. The staff are wonderful to deal with and we have never had an issue. It is in a busy area and I have taken to bringing a white noise machine with me to drown out the noise from the street."

Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel, Itaewon

10/10 Excellent

"Room was cleaned every day, new towels, water bottles, toilet paper provided each day as well. Location was very convenient and lots to do as well"

Grand Hyatt Seoul

8/10 Good

"Great hotel. Small rooms. Bed was VERY firm with flat pillows."
