Top Yongsan-gu Hotel Reviews

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location near subway. Very helpful staff. Buffet breakfast was great. Clean hotel"

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."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Lotte City Myeongdong - and would stay here again or recommend to friends visiting Seoul for the first time. Just located slightly away for the busiest parts of Myeongdong so perfect to come back to and walk about from. Check-in was easy and the staff allowed us to check in 3 hours early which was perfect. Room was clean and tidy with the expected amenities. Only thing missing was an iron but there is an ironing room on the 3rd floor. Bathroom is a good size with a modern Japanese-style toilet. A perfect stay all around!"

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."
