Top Gangbuk-gu Hotel Reviews

Toyoko Inn Seoul Yeongdeungpo

8/10 Good

"Like a Japanese hotel in Korea. Room is very small. Other than that, I ha no issue."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"This place is so convenient- close by Emart 24 hrs open - and ediya coffee just a few steps. Close by bank of Korea. Walking a few mins to go to the Namdeung Market and Myeongdong Night Market. So many snack stores around. Lockers to keep your stuffs when you’re checking in- out. If you go to Busan or somewhere else and have the second stay reservation.- and they will keep the baggage’s for you when you are back- just need to pack enough for the short trip outside Seoul. Uber and taxi everywhere. The traffic is abit busy but drivers will wait for you. - Staffs are friendly. :) check in and out so easy. Theme of the hotel is so cute and nice, price is affordable."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Everything was fine but we got there 9am the next morning so we only had a few hours to enjoy hotel. Breakfast ended 10a and we wanted to take coffee or some food out to tour and i was told we cannot. Not even coffee so that was onky issue. So paid fpr food and couldn't eat or take anything. Other hotels offer that. "

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"We stayed at ENA when we were in Seoul. The location was great, about a 15-20 min walk to Myeongdong and 10 min walk to Namdaemun. Also a 5 min bus ride to Gyeongbokgung. It was close enough to Myeongdong but quieter than staying there. The only difficult part was that our taxi driver didn't know the hotel (maybe because it's relatively new?) but that was right at the beginning. There was a pharmacy, Paris Baguette, and several coffee shops very close to the hotel so it was convenient when we needed to pick up breakfast or needed meds. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very friendly. The rooms were also bigger than most hotels which was great, given that there were 3 of us in each room (3 single beds which was already great)! Also, the airport limousine bus was right across the street on the main road which was very convenient! We would definitely stay here again!"
