Top Sungnyemun Gate Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, our room was on the 20th floor, sometimes took a while for the lift to come, as people on lower floors would request it first, roof top garden could do with a tidy but overall near to two subway exits, easy to get around and the AirPort Express bus drops you close by approx 150 yards."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The cleaner for our stay at floor 22 was amazing. She's very hardworking and ensures that our room stays clean. We stayed in Lotte City Hotel from September 2 to September 6."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Hotel was located in a central place but not near the train station. The rooms are quite small but the bathroom was nice. Breakfast was very ordinary and nothing that stood out. Overall the hotel is ok for a couple of nights only."

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Travel to ICN with my mother. This is based on a 2 twin bed room. Very clean and comfortable. This is our 2nd time here at this hotel for the convience of the green line subway, the ICN bus (#6015), and Myeongdong area. Enjoyed the b-fast buffet (we pre-paid) . Elevators can get congested during peak hours. Front desk very helpful. Called a few office for us to make appointments. Love there is a water/ice dispenser on the floor by the elevator. Will return back if we come back to visit Seoul."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Close to the subway line. Restaurants nearby were all good. Breakfast was good (eggs, etc). Friendly staff"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Check-in was incredibly easy and efficient. We were also able to check in earlier than the standard time by signing up for the hotel’s free loyalty program. The sign-up process was quick and painless, and it was well worth it for the added convenience of getting into our room early. The location is fantastic. The hotel is conveniently close to the train, making it easy to get around, and it’s also within easy reach of Myeongdong Night Market and Namdaemun Market. There were plenty of things to explore, eat, and shop for right nearby, which made the location especially convenient. Another great feature was the washer and dryer in the lobby. You do need cash to use them, but having laundry facilities right at the hotel was incredibly convenient. It meant we could wash clothes during our trip and avoid bringing a suitcase full of dirty laundry home! Our room also had exquisite views of the city and surrounding hills. Waking up to that scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall, this hotel offered a great combination of convenience, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!"

Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were outstanding, very helpful."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and organised, free ice creams at recpetion was a great touch"

Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property was very nice. They do not let you control the air and the room was really warm by my standards. I could hardly sleep the first night. They were fully booked and couldn’t make any accommodations for checking in early or leaving late. The location is great. Overall, I would stay again and recommend to other travelers!"
