Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Hotel itself ideally located for most things, but even in deluxe room furniture pretty basic, but beds comfy. Breakfast was OK but no Black/Breakfast tea, only Earl Grey or fruit teas, Coffee from machine was lukewarm but if you ask for hot milk they will bring it. After a long day site-seeing was disappointed to find that there nowhere to get a drink in evening, small lounge on 17th floor but only sold spirits. oh for a glass of wine. Most of the staff had reasonable English, whereas I had no Korean, and were very helpful."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"close by the subway stations, has restaurants downstairs, clean rooms, easy access for rideshare drop off. great experience overall. only con would be the run down buildings that surround the property."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

UH Continental SeoulCenter

8/10 Good

"Hotel was right in front of a subway entrance which made commuting very handy. Room was spacious and clean. Staff was not very helpful...I had requested non feather pillows and bedding (extremely allergic) and I was told that the entire hotel only had feather pillows!!!! I asked for a recommendation for where I could buy a pillow in the morning and the girl said she would let me know but she never did. There are no towel hooks (towels kept at entrance of room and not in the actual bathroom) and no face cloths. Rooms very clean"

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and breakfest was the best in the world. We will book again when visiting seoul."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Good not great - I booked one of the character themed rooms on the 14th. These are more expensive. The themed decor is excellent. However the room is not really fit for two adults - only one wide table and only one charger near the bed. The chargers on the desk didn’t work and the far charger near the tv was low voltage and so took a she to do anything. The air con is centrally maintained and during our stay was too cold. Also the vents don’t appear to have been cleaned. When opting to open the window this is behind the desk and if open the curtains aren’t thick enough to keep any light out with the window closed (the window has a blind on it). The entire room (likely as the window is never open and the air on never cleaned) is very musky and humid. A dehumidifier is provided but with the lack of functional plugs it wasn’t possible to use this. The bathroom was fine but the shower head desperately needed cleaning. The real selling points of this hotel were the location and the excellent buffet breakfast"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice accommodations. Made the travel easy!"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast included could use a few more western friendly additions mackerel and Indian food first thing in the morning isn’t"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent
