Top Banpo-dong Hotel Reviews

Lotte Hotel World

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very clean and nice. Staff were very friendly. Not too many breakfast options."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very helpful. The location is the best you can get if you want to be in the middle of Meyongdong. The rooms in Seoul are small, this one felt larger. AC wasn’t working but it wasn’t that hot in October. Building is in good shape. The shower doors need to be closed, in Seoul most hotel showers are half glass so water gets everywhere."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The rooms had everything you needed but decoration was sparse and clinical. Room lighting was disappointing. Bed was against a wall, so it was awkward to go for an overnight toilet break without disturbing partner on open side of bed. Air con was efficient and washing machine in room welcomed."
