Top Gwangjang Market Hotel Reviews

Uljiro Co-Op Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, once we got there. VERY frustrating experience trying to get to the correct hotel: hauling luggage up staircases in the subway and then checking into the Myeongdong hotel. It shows up on NAVER and Google Maps as NINE TREES HOTEL MYEONGDONG 1 (that's a one, because there are two hotels). The second hotel has the *exact* same name with a 2 after it, but every map app cuts off the character count, so guests are left guessing which one they're going to. Taxi drivers don't understand the difference, and our cab driver had to phone the front desk. It took forever, and was not what we wanted to be doing after a 12 hour flight. This is such a simple fix, but this happens to guests every day. The first hotel even has pre-printed maps to direct you to the "other" hotel with the exact same name. The second hotel isn't even in Myeongdong proper, but I'm sure its listed there for better SEO listings. It's a very nice hotel, but an annoying way to start your vacation."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast is wonderful!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, our room was on the 20th floor, sometimes took a while for the lift to come, as people on lower floors would request it first, roof top garden could do with a tidy but overall near to two subway exits, easy to get around and the AirPort Express bus drops you close by approx 150 yards."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The cleaner for our stay at floor 22 was amazing. She's very hardworking and ensures that our room stays clean. We stayed in Lotte City Hotel from September 2 to September 6."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here, loved it, staff is always friendly"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Check-in was incredibly easy and efficient. We were also able to check in earlier than the standard time by signing up for the hotel’s free loyalty program. The sign-up process was quick and painless, and it was well worth it for the added convenience of getting into our room early. The location is fantastic. The hotel is conveniently close to the train, making it easy to get around, and it’s also within easy reach of Myeongdong Night Market and Namdaemun Market. There were plenty of things to explore, eat, and shop for right nearby, which made the location especially convenient. Another great feature was the washer and dryer in the lobby. You do need cash to use them, but having laundry facilities right at the hotel was incredibly convenient. It meant we could wash clothes during our trip and avoid bringing a suitcase full of dirty laundry home! Our room also had exquisite views of the city and surrounding hills. Waking up to that scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall, this hotel offered a great combination of convenience, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!"

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Airport bus stop in front of the hotel. Close to subway #2 which takes you to 7-11,"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"This is a perfect location to experience Seoul. If you're looking for a reasonable price, good location, this is for you. If you spend a lot of time in your hotel room, book somewhere else."
