Jongno-1.2.3.4 ga-dong, 1.9 km from Hyehwamun Gate

"I had the best stay at Hostel Tommy - it is literally seconds away from Ikseon-dong Hanok Village (one of the coolest places as a visitor) and a 3-min walk from Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station, making it super convenient and accessible. There is a 7-eleven right next to the hostel which is such a plus. The vibe was so homey and cozy, I felt incredibly safe and taken care of as a female solo traveller. The room was so comfortable too, I almost did not want to leave my room, haha! A huge shoutout to the...

"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Top Hyehwamun Gate Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Had a superior double room with a view of the N Seoul Tower from the balcony. The room was spacious which included a full refrigerator, wine cooler, washer & dryer and microwave oven stovetop. The hotel is very convenient if you want to take the airport limo bus which drops you off at Hotel Kukdo where you just have walk a short distance to the hotel. There are construction going around the hotel but you can't hear the noise from your room. If you are interested in walking or running, you have the option of the Cheonggyecheon Stream which is about a block away. Also Gwangjang Market is also short walk away for local food. There are 2 buildings A and B. I traveled with family and they were in the B building and I was in A (not too far). There is a nearby GS25 across the street or Emart which is outside the reception area on 2nd floor for food and drinks. There are also train stops not too far from hotel but most area you can walk in 20 minutes or less. Definitely would stay here again. Even though you have the option to cook, there are no dishes or utensils in the room but you can rent them. Also you need to bring detergent if you plan to use the washer/dryer otherwise they do sell it at the hotel."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

8/10 Good

"Very quiet rooms-never heard our neighbors which is always a plus for me. Hotel room was clean but curtains were a little dusty which normally wouldn’t be an issue but the rooms were small and the bed was right against the curtains so my allergies acted up. Hotel amenities given are the standard ones plus unexpected ones like pajamas and Korean eye masks. Location is good-close to Namdaemun market and a 15 minute walk to Myeongdong. Very close to the subway. One thing to note is that bathroom is the Asian wet room style if you are unfamiliar. Overall great for a short trip!"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

"We were very pleased with the staff at the front desk. From check-in to check-out they helped with our requests. The breakfast area staff were diligently clearing the tables, refilling food and drinks and helping as they could with requests. We used the laundry and the area was kept clean by staff. The room cleaning were excellent with changing of the sheets and towel replacement and also the water bottles. This was our second visit and we would return."
