"This is a nice, affordable hotel with awesome staff. Rooms are basic as are many hotels in Korea, and are clean and comfortable (one double bed and one single bed in most rooms). The staff is excellent. We stayed here because a family member works close by. Some neighborhood restaurants are within walking distance as well as a few “quick marts”. Unification park with some hiking trails and a rebuilt 1.000 year old palace is nearby."

Top Dora Observatory Hotel Reviews

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed a week at ENA hotel, it was great time to stay. Friendly staffs front desk and restaurant and house keeping. I ate breakfast at restaurant located in the hotel. Was great with reasonable prices. They serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great location to go to anywhere popular places with subway and buses and trains. I will definitely choice this hotel whenever visit to Korea. * Room has small refrigerator and electric cattle and hair dryer. I requested that iron and board at the front desk when I check in. * If I have a food to make heat up, I brought to restaurant and they did for me. (Front desk people encouraged to do that)"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Great location right on top of metro station and bus stop with lots of excellent restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Seoul main train station is 16 mins walk away if using the KTX (we did a day trip to Busan). Room could use more mirrors in it, eg full length mirror and one for applying makeup as room lighting is too dark. Really appreciated being able to check in early off an overnight flight from London at 11am as we had booked 8 nights so we could freshen up before going out for the day."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"It was great staying there at the suites. I stayed for six nights and the suite is very clean and has everything you need to cook, do laundry with dryer. Its very spacious at 50sqm and has clean air and does not smell. The reception told me its new hotel that started business in q2, 2025 Location is a little far 15-20mins walk from Myeongdong main street but its good to have some walking after food. I feel safe walking back but you will walk along a short quiet alleys just prior reaching the hotel (depending the route you take). You can also get a taxi back for < usd 10. Transport is cheap so it beats paying top dollar for a stay within the street. However it is close to Gwangjung market and a short 15 mins walk to ikseon dong. I recommend you walk to ikseon dong for breakfast or lunch if you are late sleeper. There are some good options. Twosome place is just a 5 mins walk away if you want to grab a morning coffee. I don’t used the hotel amenities so i cant rate it but there are a couple of restaurants at the floor level that you can grab something to eat (not crowded) and convenience store at the second level. Hope this review helps in making your choice."

L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and well organized. Beds were super comfortable. I really appreciated the shower doors as it avoided any water from spilling out onto the floor. All of the staff (cleaning and front desk) were all so nice and helpful! Location is perfect as it is close to the main hongdae street and close to the subway station. Would recommend this hotel!"
