Top Changdeokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property with plenty to do in the busy area of Myeongdong. Hotel is up to date any rooms are very spacious and clean."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"No"

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)

8/10 Good

"The hotel is ok because it was recently renovated. Room size is small. There is only 2 washers and dryers for guests to use. You need to pay for them. Bathroom has a smell from either fan or sewer. The hotel’s location is good and it is close to line 3 subway."

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

8/10 Good

"Decent location - about a 10 minute walk from the Palace and a temple across the street to visit, food and beverage locations nearby, Insadong was nice. But can't give a 5 star review due to the following complaints: -View was terrible, literally looking at the side of building. Even a street view would have been nice. Asked to change and they said they couldn't move us as I guess they were busy, not really there for the view so not a huge deal. -Shower has a glass wall facing the beds, it is see through enough that it isn't really comfortable for all to use. Also to climb in to the shower you have to step over a 2 ft high side to the bathtub and back out - terrible design all in all and anyone with even minor accessibility issues would find it hard to use. -Bathroom also has a sliding door so instead of having the toilet paper in a usable location, you have to reach way behind you - it's a minor thing but just not something you'd expect for what you pay. -Cleaning staff were kind and helpful and did a great job each day Would probably stay in Myeondong if we go back to Seoul as the night markets and street markets are there and it is much more happening."

N285 Hotel Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, easy location. Small but clean and nice room with a view"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun No.2

8/10 Good

"Location was great"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"First of all the location is perfect! Close to all the main attractions, metro and bus stations! The staff was kind and helpful, the room was impeccably cleaned every day, the view was amazing!! Breakfast was good but almost the same every day, some changes would be nice. One negative element though.. We were a couple and out 11 year old daughter and there was only one bed and it was not even king. It was barely comfortable but we managed..."
