Top Gyeongbokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

Hotel Sunbee Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal location for exploring Insadong and getting to the subway to the rest of the city. Room was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning much appreciated during the hot and humid July days. Would definitely stay here again."

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very pleasurable stay at the hotel for our short trip. The hotel is centrally located to all the attractions we wanted to visit by taxi and taxi’s are easy to obtain. The hotel facilities are exceptional and the staff super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend."

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)

10/10 Excellent

"Surpassed expectations! Great value and location. I was initially hesitant to stay at an Ibis due to a past bad experience in Europe, but I decided to give this location a chance since it was recently renovated. I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel was great—clean, modern rooms and very friendly staff. A major bonus was that the room was cleaned daily at no extra charge, which feels increasingly rare in Europe these days. The location is excellent, with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. You can also easily walk to Myeongdong or Changdeokgung Palace in about 20 to 30 minutes. My only minor feedback is regarding the bathroom: while clean and mold-free, it could use a modern update to match the rest of the room. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its price, quality, and location!"
