Top Gyeongbokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"Good location"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"We needed to store luggage at the hotel until check-in, which we were able to do, but to my surprise we were actually able to check in early when we arrived to store the luggage. We were also able to store our luggage at the hotel after our check out time until we left for the airport later in the day. It was so convenient for us. Another very convenient feature is that the Airport Limousine Bus boards just across the street from the hotel. So we very easily picked up our luggage at the hotel and went immediately across the street to catch the bus to the airport. (Passengers on the Airport Limousine Bus need to pay with cash or TMoney.)"
