Top Seodaemun Prison History Museum Hotel Reviews

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"clean , bed was spacious, close to many fin places."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean tidy room. It was spacious, the only thing I would’ve preferred was a bigger window. The room felt a little darker then I would’ve liked. There were building works and you could hear these slightly on a tower being built on the other side of us, but it was quiet during the night, but they did start rather early. Location is pretty good also."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The property was about a 15 minute walk outside of the main shopping area, but it was incredibly convenient to get to the subway and walk to many local areas including the river walk. The rooms were very clean and well air conditioned. There is a convenience store in the hotel that was very foreigner friendly and had all the coffee and snacks you could ask for."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Easy and smooth check-in process. Staff were attentive and kind. Clean rooms! The original room had issues with the A/C unit , but the staff was quick to assist. They attempted to remedy the A/C unit, then proceeded to provide a new room. Would recommend."

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful. Excellent breakfast buffet."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and clean and laundry machine"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Hotel itself ideally located for most things, but even in deluxe room furniture pretty basic, but beds comfy. Breakfast was OK but no Black/Breakfast tea, only Earl Grey or fruit teas, Coffee from machine was lukewarm but if you ask for hot milk they will bring it. After a long day site-seeing was disappointed to find that there nowhere to get a drink in evening, small lounge on 17th floor but only sold spirits. oh for a glass of wine. Most of the staff had reasonable English, whereas I had no Korean, and were very helpful."
