Top Hwanghak-dong Hotel Reviews

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Our families stay at the Crown Park was very nice. It’s location and price is why we chose to stay here. Our rooms were small, clean and had just what you needed. Check-in and out was a breeze. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. It had so much to choose from and the price can’t be beat. Laundry on the 3rd floor was useful, 2 washers and dryers 5000 won for each use. Only wished the room had an iron for some wrinkles. The staff were very professional and helpful with all questions we had."
