"I had a great stay at Loft13 Hostel! It was an excellent value for the price. The hostel was very clean, and everything was well maintained. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I also really appreciated having access to the washer and dryer, which was so convenient during my trip. As a bonus, the city views from the windows were beautiful, especially at night. I would definitely stay here...

Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good
"Loved the location as it is close to everything but unfortunately the pool and hot tub being in the basement was disappointing. There is no general lounging area where one could enjoy a latte and relax, unless I missed it, and the area near the front desk was often crowded. The best thing besides the location was the staff, particularly Ms Lee at the front desk. A real asset to the guests and a reflection of the hire’s desire to provide exceptional customer service."
