Top Hwanghak-dong Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and perfect amenities"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Crown Park Hotel Seoul! The location is excellent, with easy access to shopping areas, restaurants, and popular tourist attractions. I have 2 rooms booked, they cleaned the room daily. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The hotel was convenient for exploring Seoul, and the overall experience was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend Crown Park Hotel Seoul to anyone visiting the city and would happily stay here again!"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and the property was in great shape. Location was convenient to Namdaemun market and Myeongdong. Close to coffee shops, Paris Baquette, CU and a few restaurants just steps away. THe only issue was the tiny washer/dryer unit, it didn't work well at all, but the hotel has larger laundry facility if you can stick around to monitor your laundry. Would stay here again."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"This was the first time I ever experienced a 5-star hotel and I must say it was pretty amazing. I’m still sore over being charged an extra $1050 just to add my wife as a second guest. The hotel said it was all Expedia that did not work it out with me. I’m still digging up the original booking."
