"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Top National Museum of Korean Contemporary History Hotel Reviews

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and quiet, great location from all the stores in myeongdong and not too far from the station! Perfect stay for solo traveling"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. Would like bigger pillows, but that is being picky."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, centrally located."

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

8/10 Good

"I liked the facility and how the hotel room is well maintained and organized, but they better educate their staffs at the main reception."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and perfect amenities"

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a family quad room. Clean, spacious enough for our needs, good housekeeping service, minimal noise. Beds were comfortable. Hotel location was also great, walkable to palaces, hanok village and fun neighbourhood of Ikseon with its hanok restaurants and shops. Convenience store just outside. Would recommend."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and the property was in great shape. Location was convenient to Namdaemun market and Myeongdong. Close to coffee shops, Paris Baquette, CU and a few restaurants just steps away. THe only issue was the tiny washer/dryer unit, it didn't work well at all, but the hotel has larger laundry facility if you can stick around to monitor your laundry. Would stay here again."

UH Continental SeoulCenter

10/10 Excellent

"I'm sure many are enamored with the giant tub in the middle of the room. Somehow I initially read it as a hot tub but it's just a regular tub and we used it exactly 1 time. It's actually too big to be comfortable. It's not ergonomically designed to include or relax. It's all hard right angles so best you can do is sit awkwardly. And takes forever to fill given how big it is so you start to feel guilty about all the water you're using. Aside from that novelty of an amenity, the rooms are very nice and spacious. The onsite staff is helpful and reachable via WhatsApp or Kakao (no phones in rooms). The location is superb if you're visiting the major sites in Jongno. Overall I'd highly recommend and would stay there again. Note to the property though: a hook or two in the bathroom was so desperately wanted. Seems like a small thing but it'd be nice to hang up the bathrobe or towels."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

"Great location, super fun for the kids"
