"I had the best stay at Hostel Tommy - it is literally seconds away from Ikseon-dong Hanok Village (one of the coolest places as a visitor) and a 3-min walk from Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station, making it super convenient and accessible. There is a 7-eleven right next to the hostel which is such a plus. The vibe was so homey and cozy, I felt incredibly safe and taken care of as a female solo traveller. The room was so comfortable too, I almost did not want to leave my room, haha! A huge shoutout to the...

Top Gwanghwamun Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, walking distance to central area but tucked away so not too noisy."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"There is an offer for a free wow pass and hotel benefits like first free laundry cycle if you join their membership, and I would HIGHLY recommend getting it! The wow pass acts like a t-money card which was SUPER useful for travelling around, and there's a wow pass ATM on the first floor so you can use the card like a debit card. We ended up using the card at a few merchants, and was able to fill up the t-money card with my credit card this way through the app. The hotel staff were super helpful, and the free short term luggage storage WITH LOCKS was so convenient and useful! Best of all, when we were having a short stay in Jeju, and returning back to the hotel, I was able to store my luggage with them for the days we were away. The hotel was SUPER clean, everything is so well thought out. Free slippers, and on rainy days they have umbrellas by the door available to use. Location is SUPER convenient. Right by myeongdong shopping (less than 10min walk) and less than 5 min walk from the airport bus station and the the subway line entrance is less than a minute away. LOVED the 7-11 right in the hotel itself. If shopping is your main goal, this is the place to stay!"

New Seoul Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The configuration of the room was very functional, and the room itself was clean. However, the air conditioner could have been cleaned more thoroughly, and its positioning was a little awkward. The couch and shelving were also starting to look and feel a bit dated. The staff were helpful and efficient throughout our stay, particularly with the daily service. When a plumbing issue arose towards the end of our stay, they handled it promptly despite it being past midnight. The location is a major advantage, being close to the train station and directly across the road from the airport bus drop-off point. It was also convenient for ride-share services and taxis. Ultimately, the great service and convenient location made for a positive experience overall."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and breakfast was good. The room was ok, but we thought the bathroom lacked privacy due to the strange classdoor and lack of door to the bathroom itself - good only if you occupy the room alone. We were not able to watch tv, the remote did not function some of the time."
