Top Sungnyemun Gate Hotel Reviews

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Room was quite small. Strangely there was a massive light fixture next to the bed that was so big the lampshade hung over part of the head of the bed. It could not be moved. No room for a bedside table on one side of the bed. It was clear we had booked a room to accommodate 3 persons with dbl and twin bed but the room was overfurnished and cramped. It was clean and comfortable however."

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"After having stayed at the Lotte hotel, the Plaza, and the Westin Josun, the Westin was by far the quietest room we stayed in. To be fair I stayed in rooms that either faced the City Hall or the Gwanghamun area. This whole area can get quite loud with weekend protests or festivals. It might have been quieter if I had stayed in rooms that faced the opposite direction. All were equally clean and well maintained with the Lotte showing the most wear in the rooms with tired decor and scratched furniture. The Westin was still located very close to a lot of attractions in Myeongdong and conveniently close to the subway and the Lotte shopping mall. The fitness center was well appointed with a weight room- free weights and machines, bikes, treadmills, and yoga mats. Like the other hotels, you could also borrow shorts, shirts, socks, and even sneakers here! The sauna was very clean and not crowded when we went in the morning. It was included as part of our stay but normally there is a charge to use the facilities. Overall, I would recommend staying at the Westin and would stay there again on my next visit to Seoul."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Thr hotel.is conveniently located near the City Hall subway station, which made travel around Seoul easy and convenient. There is plenty of shopping within a short walk and there are restaurants and convenience stores within a block of the hotel entrance. The staff was excellent and committed to being helpful and friendly. The room was clean and had a great view (we were on the 17th floor). Slippers were provided and complimentary water was refilled in the refrigerator daily. The bathroom was spotless and the shower very nice, with almost instant hot water. The breakfast service provided us with a great start to each day with several choices and food prepared to order. I would definitely stay in this hotel during future visits to Seoul."
