Top Dongguk University Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Good location. Good clean room but no mirrors in the bedroom. (We had a two bedroom suite). Great bathroom. Breakfast good. Good coffee. Staff at reception welcoming. Staff in breakfast not so friendly/welcoming or even say hello. You can wait a while for the lifts in peak time. You have to pay for luggage storage!"

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The room is modern and I like the bathroom (although could do with some washcloths and more towels) but my only complaint was that this was NOT Central Myeongdong as the hotel name implies--it's a very quiet residential area that almost looks a bit seedy, with not much going on as it is mostly printing and furniture shops. Very local, which is cool but not useful for tourists. Good thing is the subway is a 3min walk away but I'd prefer to have more coffee places, shops, restaurants etc around a hotel I stay at."

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."

Sejong Hotel

8/10 Good
