Top Yongsan-gu Hotel Reviews

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Yongsan - Seoul Dragon City

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, quiet with beautiful city view. The staffs are very kind at the desk and parking. Love to visit again."

Toyoko Inn Seoul Gangnam

10/10 Excellent

"The single room I stayed in was compact, but much more spacious than other single rooms I've set tayed in. Had everything I needed, even a big desk to work from. Breakfast is Korean style, which might not suit some western tastes. Lobby is basic and small, if that matters to you, but has hot and chilled water and a microwave you can use. Overall a great location near public transport that will get you anywhere in the city. Will absolutely be checking this hotel for availability next time I'm in Seoul."

Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"We were allocated a room by the train track. I assumed the hotel would have had some decent sound proofing but this was clearly not the case. The noise became more obvious once we were out for the day around 9pm. It was unbearable for us and we asked to move to a quieter room. At the time of the request there was nothing available. I asked to cancel the room so we would find another hotel. I was told we could not cancel but I insisted we had no choice as we would not be able to rest before our flight the next day. After about 10 minutes we were told there was another room away from the train track and this was much improved. The staff were generally kind and helpful."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"First of all the location is perfect! Close to all the main attractions, metro and bus stations! The staff was kind and helpful, the room was impeccably cleaned every day, the view was amazing!! Breakfast was good but almost the same every day, some changes would be nice. One negative element though.. We were a couple and out 11 year old daughter and there was only one bed and it was not even king. It was barely comfortable but we managed..."
