Top Gangnam-gu Hotel Reviews

Toyoko Inn Seoul Gangnam

Seocho-gu

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is located in prime location of Gangnam district, but includes little bit of walking from nearby subway station. It also offers free breakfast which was actually eatable and better than what I imagined. The bathroom was little tiny though and reminded me of those airplane restrooms. For one to two day stays, it would be okay considering the budget and everything but anything longer that, I would sugesst somewhere else.

THEZIP Hotel

Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay at theZip Hotel very much. It was conveniently located between 2 train stations, a 1 min walk to Sinchon Station and a 4 min walk to Sogang University Station. Plus it was a quick 15 min walk to Sogang University where my son is going to school for the semester. We were very impressed with how well maintained the property is and how convenient the shared kitchen is with all the amenities you need. And even better if you make arrangements before hand, you can drop your...

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

Jongno-gu

10/10 Excellent

The check-in staff was unattentive, not very hospitable and didn’t give us much information, just answered our questions. We asked for city view room, but our room was facing a back alley of a building. Other than that, our stay was amazing. Our room was super clean, beds were very comfy, the cleaning ladies and staffs during breakfast were very friendly & attentive. The location was great too. Walking distance to many places.

This was a beautiful property with the most friendly staff. The room was spacious and clean, and the common areas were beautiful and convenient. The staff was very hospitable and helpful with dining suggestions and fun recommendations. The area is very safe and there are tons of walkable food options and shopping areas. This was the perfect stay, and I will definitely be booking here in the future! Thank you Blossom!!! 💗

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

Myeong-dong

10/10 Excellent

Rooms are small but the convenient location well makes up for how small the rooms are. Very quick walk over to Myeong-Dong Shopping street. The airport bus (17000 won per person) is also right by the hotel so it makes returning to the airport very easy, rather than trying to take multiple trains back to the airport. Breakfast was a bit repetitive but it was still good, Would definitely stay here again next time I return Seoul.

Jung-gu

10/10 Excellent

We loved this hotel! My friend and I stayed for two weeks and felt very safe during our stay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the window view was amazing! The room was a quiet which we appreciated. We loved the Christmas decorations which made the hotel look beautiful. I will mention that the room was a little hot. A receptionist informed us that during the winter, the AC cannot be turned on (understandably), and only heat can be turned on/off. Our room was 26C/80F with the...

The breakfast provided was excellent and very filling. The instant coffee was good and they give new fresh towels every morning, you just need to ask. The blankets are fluffy and warm. You can dry your clothes at a portable drying line. There is also a very deep tub and the shower system is well maintained. It is also very close to various forms of transportation like buses and trains. And this place is very quiet and you can’t hear your neighbors that much. If you ask they will watch over your...
