"I stayed at Urban stay Boutique Ikseon in Seoul and had a pleasant experience. The best part was the location in the heart of Ikseon-dong, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and attractions within walking distance. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, and the self check-in process was easy. Nearby subway stations also made getting around Seoul convenient.

Top National Folk Museum Hotel Reviews

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, staff, nice area,"

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Lotte Hotel Seoul. The location is outstanding, right in the heart of Myeongdong and within easy walking distance of attractions such as Myeongdong Cathedral, Deoksugung Palace, and Cheonggyecheon. The hotel’s proximity to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing made exploring Seoul incredibly convenient. A special thank you to the concierge team, who helped arrange a facial and head spa experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. We also appreciated the variety of excellent dining options within the hotel and found ourselves eating there frequently for both convenience and quality. The service throughout our stay was exceptional. The staff were professional, helpful, and attentive, making us feel welcome from start to finish. While the hotel is centrally located, neighborhoods such as Gangnam and Itaewon are also just a short taxi ride away. Overall, an excellent hotel in a prime location. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit to Seoul. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"Comfortable stay with very helpful and kind staff, excellent air con. Despite being next to the main road, it's actually very quiet and comfortable. Location is excellent, very close to the main centre sights etc. Only negative is that the decor is slightly dated, however that doesn't impact the high quality stay. I'd recommend."

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The place was good although the room was small, practically fit for medium-sized built bodies as the sides of the bed are not easily accessible if you have big thighs and legs with 6-8 inches clearance from the wall. The sides of the bed were almost very close to the walls. The room may comfortably fit 3 big luggages."

4.5/5 (7,299 reviews)

This royal palace has been destroyed on more than one occasion, but today it stands as one of Seoul’s finest examples of classic Korean architecture.
