"Small place but very nice experience overall! The hotel itself has some basic amenities so you don’t have to worry about running out of water or needing to grab a quick coffee. Location is a few minutes walk from the subway and gwangjang market - very convenient! There are also other stores outside and near the building so you pretty much have a lot of options. Will definitely book this place back when I visit SorKor again in a few years!"

Top Jongno-dong Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very comfortable, and having the washer/dryer in the room was so convenient for our stay of 9 days. Food at the breakfast buffet was fantastic, with a wide variety of both Asian and Western options. Currency exchange machine in the lobby was extremely convenient. Two convenience store options steps away from the hotel for snacks and simple groceries. Location is excellent, one block away from Cheong-gye-cheon stream and walkway, which you can take for a 10-minute walk to Gwangjang Market, which has a surprisingly nice Olive Young location on the second floor. Access to Metro was a 5 minute walk to Euljiro 3-ga Station, with Lines 2 and 3."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Hotel overall was good ,location very good , gym good , breakfast good . Two issues I would like mention as not so good : First the elevators are extremely slow and in pick time like breakfast or check out time it may take 10 min to catch them ! Second issue , at the breakfast when some of the trays of proof products gets empty , they are not filled immediately or even takes long time before they get filled . Also for the breakfast , it closes at 10:00 am while taking everything out waiters make huge noise and you can’t really stay few more minutes with your coffee !"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent

"Lotte City Hotel Guro was a great hotel to stay at. The hotel is well kept and the staff was nice and very helpful. Location wise, it was between a 25 to 35-minute train ride from everywhere I wanted to go around Seoul. It was around a 5-10 minute walk away from the nearest train station. The neighborhood the hotel was based in had a lot to offer as well (convenience stores, malls, restaurants, etc.). The gym, outdoor terrace, and onsite laundromat were great. It is also right by a bus stop that takes you to ICN airport which was very convenient. Would stay here again."
