Top Gyeongbokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very comfortable and well appointed. I appreciated the laundry facilities and other amenities. The location was very good albeit a little bit of a distance from the metro stations."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff on the 1st floor were highly dedicated and incredibly helpful. The cleaning staff on the 24th floor were also very professional, and the location is absolutely perfect."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very helpful. The location is the best you can get if you want to be in the middle of Meyongdong. The rooms in Seoul are small, this one felt larger. AC wasn’t working but it wasn’t that hot in October. Building is in good shape. The shower doors need to be closed, in Seoul most hotel showers are half glass so water gets everywhere."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great 6 night stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Room had a broken outlet and staff were super quick to get someone to come repair it. Breakfast was super good and always fresh no matter what time we went at. Overall room was clean and facility was great. The area surrounding it has some great food choices along with being super close to bus stops and subways! Will absolutely return on our next visit."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The rooms had everything you needed but decoration was sparse and clinical. Room lighting was disappointing. Bed was against a wall, so it was awkward to go for an overnight toilet break without disturbing partner on open side of bed. Air con was efficient and washing machine in room welcomed."

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"런드리룸에앉아서 기달릴수있는 의자가있었으면 좋겠읍니다"

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at AMID. Very close to many sites, staff were super helpful, hotel was very clean and rooms were spacious. We got sick during our stay and the staff helped us find a hospital that was open. Cleaning staff were wonderful too. Highly recommend this hotel in Seoul!"

Somerset Palace Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel located within easy walking distance of major tourist attractions and restaurants. I have stayed here before and came back due to the location. Price seems reasonable."
