ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay. Great location that is easy to get around from. Walking distance to Myeongdong which was great because it’s where we kept wanting to go back to. Clean room, great amenities, attentive and kind staff. Water pressure in the shower was great!! Would stay here again. "

Travelodge Myeongdong Euljiro

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great! Super easy access to subways. Easy access to the heart of Seoul. Quiet at night. Cafes and convenience stores near by. Friendly and very Kind staffs. There is wowpass kiosk in the lobby for me to purchase a card and charge money and withdraw money. Unfortunately, there is no warter bottle, toothbrush, tooth paste are provided. However, there is a cold water fountain in each floor to refill. And there is vending machine to buy toothbrush, toothpaste and more in the lobby. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided. I added breakfast for my stay. It was delicious. Many options. Having breakfast here saved time for looking for what and where to eat in the morning. I wanded to spend as much time asnpossible to explore Seoul, so I thought it was a smart idea for me. Room was small, but clean. Comfortable! "

Koreana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, the room, and the rest of the hotel were excellent 5/5. The staff was happy to hold our luggage after checkout until our flight later in the day, and housekeeping went above and beyond each day. The only small complaint is that the AC isn’t really adjustable (no matter what we set it at, it always stayed at 71 degrees), and the lights were inconvenient. You had to insert your keycard to turn the lights on, which is fine, but the only issue is when you get up to use the bathroom at night - you either have to turn all the lights on and potentially wake anyone you share a room with (the lamps have individual switches but the hallway lights don’t have separate switches so they always turn on when the keycard is inserted), or you have to use the bathroom in the dark. Aside from this, I have no complaints. The location of the hotel is very close to popular attractions and shopping areas, and the CU next door was very handy!"

L7 GANGNAM by LOTTE HOTELS

6/10 Okay

"The property was in a good location, but the building itself felt a bit outdated. Some parts of the hotel were a bit dirtier and older (both inside the room and shared spaces) compared to other 4 stars I’ve stayed at. Also the staff weren’t that welcoming when approached during check-in, for questions, and check-out."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Liked my stay at Lotte City Hotel especially it is near the subway station. If there is one thing i will not forget, it is the staff ( especially the concierge who were always smiling and happy to get me a taxi/uber) And a 7-11 that is connected to the hotel helps a lot.I wish breakfast was part of the hotel stay but it does not change my opinion that i will stay here again if i go back to Seoul."
