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

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"It's in a central location that's easy to walk to basically every subway line. It's great to have a washer and dryer in the room, as well as a full sized fridge and freezer. There's no free luggage storage, but the paid storage in the building isn't expensive. The breakfast is a little pricey and gets very crowded quickly, so unless you wake up early or have young kids to take care of, better to just find breakfast elsewhere. Otherwise, a great hotel, we would book again!"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were really helpful, location was great, roomy and clean."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely well located hotel. Staff were great. Lifts are a bit confusing. But otherwise a property I’d definitely recommend"

Stanford Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel beautiful surroundings friendly staff"

Mayfield Hotel Seoul

8/10 Good

"호텔이 너무 휴식하기에 좋았습니다. 아들이 한국에서 매회개최하는 전국 장애인 채전에 미국팀 으로 선발되어 매해 한국을 갑니다. 올해는 9 월에 제주도에서 체전이 열린 관계로 제주도로 내려가기전 며칠 김포공항 근처에서 쉬고갈 호텔을 찾아보다가 메이필드 호텔을 찾게되었어요. 아들이 수영선수라서 몸도풀고 수영연습 할수있는 호텔을 찾아보다가 이호텔을 찾게되서 너무 좋았어요. 도착했을때 호텔과 주변이 아름답고 깨끗해서 너무 좋았어요. 한국에 도착한 다음날부터아들이 비염 알레르기가 생기고 컨디션이 안좋아져서 수영장 이용은 두번밖에 못해서 아쉬웠지만 그래도 잘지내다 왔어요. 아침에 죠깅을하고 호텔 조식을 먹고나서 호텔주변을 산책하고 구경하는것도 좋았답니다. 프론트 데스크의스태프들도 아주 친절하고 청소하시는 아주머니들도 친절하셨어요. 한국에 가면 가족들하고 다시가보고 싶습니다. 호텔밖에는 차가없어서 걸어서 갈수있는곳이 많이 없지만 수영장 건물에 편의점이 있어서 다행이었어요. 공항가까운곳에 롯데쇼핑몰에서 쇼핑도하고 먹을곳도 많아서 좋았네요. 공항가는날에는 셔틀버스 타고 공항에 편히 갈수있었네요. 덕분에 김포쪽에 또올거같아요. 😊"
