Top Gwanghwamun Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"super clean and great access for visitors"

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding experience. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The cleanliness of the room and all the hotel areas was perfection. The room felt very luxurious and had plenty of space for all our luggage without being at all cluttered. The location was ideal as it was connected to a wonderful high-end department store and had an expansive food court with dozens of incredibly tasty food options. There was also a complete grocery store for those that would rather compose their own meals. My wife and I had an exceptional experience and we look forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a memorable visit to Seoul."

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"The location was excellent—central and convenient, yet in a quieter, less busy area. The atmosphere was calm and artistic, with beautiful artwork. The room was a good size and very clean, and the overall value was great. I especially appreciated the peaceful environment, with virtually no outside noise. The service was outstanding, from the front desk to all the staff, who were friendly, very helpful and professional. The amenities were good, the water pressure was excellent, although there were only two outlets, one in the bathroom and the other one in the bedroom and lack of storage space even for two person. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would happily return!"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located within Seoul in Myeongdong, but just outside (essentially one block removed) of all the action so it is much more quieter and a significant positive for me. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. Highly recommend having the buffet at least once on your visit. Hotel is conveniently located next to the subway so it is extremely easy and accessible to get around every major neighborhood. It is also walking distance to Seoul Station, but I would recommend taking a cab/taxi/Uber for convenience as the area is generally within a major node for traffic."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Room and hotel were very clean. Very lovely staff. Great location to public transit. Surrounded by construction, so a bit noisy and dirty. Bed is very comfortable and in room storage and appliances were great. Room 2015 - the door had issues locking all week. Elevators were slow."
