Top Hwanghak-dong Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel offers an amazing stay, , great location, helpful staff, the facilities are clean, modern and look brand new,. 100% recommended!"

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"

Shilla Stay Guro Digital Complex Station

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean but smaller than what we are used to in the US. The breakfast buffet was excellent! We stayed long & each morning the chef already knew how we liked our eggs prepared. The staff were all very nice & attentive to details. The male front desk manager was very accommodating & friendly. Gave us drinks upon arrival."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"I like the location, step out of the building and you are already surrounded by the many food stalls.and shops. Olive young is just beside the building. Massage facial, and hair care inside the building. Bus is 5 -7mins walk but UBER cost only 9$ for a 20- 30 mins ride, staff are very helpful. The bathroom is together with the toilet but its still bidet. Bed is hard but acceptable. Over all very good"
