"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Top Dongwha Duty Free Shop Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

UH Continental SeoulCenter

10/10 Excellent

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"Impressive looking hotel in a fabulous location. Near to palaces, etc. Very close to restaurants and coffee shops. Rooms were good but the furniture and bathroom is now looking a bit dated. Staff were good."

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The roof top area was a lovely space to relax at the end of the day. The hotel had an abundance of umbrellas available to borrow for a brief period of rain. The location was ideal for walking to shopping and restaurants."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"None"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"The location was fantastic. Exactly where I wanted to be. The room wasn't huge, but we loved that the sink was outside the bathroom, separated from the toilet and shower. That way, two people can use the bathroom at the same time instead of getting in each other's way. Building maintenance could be a little better; we saw overgrown weeds outside the first-floor elevator hall, and we thought the food photos attached to the columns in front of the building could be removed. Otherwise, we loved staying at this hotel."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for a short stay in Seoul this hotel is very close to a lot of local amenities, shopping and restaurants. We had an excellent stay and would return. The area is busy in the evenings so it was loud some nights but that wasn’t too much of a disturbance. The staff were incredibly helpful, there is coin-operated laundry which is very convenient. The breakfast offering is simple more continental style with espresso coffee, toast, cereal, enough to get you started for the day and with convenience stores and cafes close by if you prefer. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller with not very much korean. Thank you StepInn for a wonderful stay."
