Walkable to many iconic locations such as Insa-dong Culture Street, Changgyeonggung Palace, and Hanok Villages.
Easy self check-in process with a code to enter, which was very convenient. "

"Location was excellent right in myeongdong shopping street. Made it really convenient to go out in the evening to go out and get the street food if you’re Hungry. The cathedral is also a walk away with nice cafes
I definitely recommend this place "
"Just wrapped up a ten night stay here and it was amazing. This is the first time I’ve left a hotel and not thought, “I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed.” Seriously, it was the best hotel stay of my life. Don’t get me started on the mattress and water pressure.
Highly recommend their restaurants, Boccalino and Maru. The service was consistently outstanding and the food was delicious.
And lastly, a shout-out to the housekeeping staff as well. Our room was extremely clean and well stocked, and the daily gifts during turndown service were something that we always looked forward to.
I 100% got what I paid for and I hope to be able to stay there again one day. 10/10 "
"We love our stay in New Seoul Hotel, stuff is friendly and accommodating. The area is close to Myeongdong just 5 minutes walk. Definitely recommended to all travelers."
"Good on-site amenities like luggage storage lockers. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast only okay with limited choices. Rooms are somewhat worn and could use a refresh/update."
