Top Sungnyemun Gate Hotel Reviews

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"The room is clean and the staff is very helful."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Really well-located property. Would say it’s more of an aparthotel given the amenities in the room. It’s quite minimal in design, but has everything you would need. Most importantly, really enjoyed the space in the room. We could open our big pieces of luggage and still had so much room to move around. The staff were also really helpful. For the price, it’s a stay with great value."

Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, ticks all the boxes."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"best place ever"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The concierge, Mr. Woo was exceptionally helpful for us"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

8/10 Good

"The hotel has an excellent location. Breakfast choices are ample"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is a fantastic choice if you want to stay in the heart of downtown Seoul. The lobby is located on the 21st floor, and my room was on the 18th floor with a wonderful view. They also provide a great selection of room amenities. The only minor downside is that taxis cannot pick you up or drop you off directly in front of the hotel, as it’s located in a pedestrian-only zone where cars aren't allowed from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. However, that’s also a huge plus—you’re just a few steps away from all the energy and excitement of Myeongdong without any traffic noise!"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"It was excellent experience, really recommend to everyone."

L’Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Both the property itself and the location and staff are top notch"
