HanokHanok

"Such a beautiful stay! I’m someone who is very concerned about noise, so when we were trying to find the place, I was worried at first because it’s close to a very busy area, but it turns out there was nothing to worry about! HanokHanok is tucked away on a little alleyway and it is so quiet and peaceful! Some people mentioned it being noisy but that was not our experience at all. It really comes down to others being respectful, and the same could be said in a regular hotel! It was a...

Top Seodaemun Prison History Museum Hotel Reviews

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room not to good, breakfast excellent and staff very pleasant."

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"After having stayed at the Lotte hotel, the Plaza, and the Westin Josun, the Westin was by far the quietest room we stayed in. To be fair I stayed in rooms that either faced the City Hall or the Gwanghamun area. This whole area can get quite loud with weekend protests or festivals. It might have been quieter if I had stayed in rooms that faced the opposite direction. All were equally clean and well maintained with the Lotte showing the most wear in the rooms with tired decor and scratched furniture. The Westin was still located very close to a lot of attractions in Myeongdong and conveniently close to the subway and the Lotte shopping mall. The fitness center was well appointed with a weight room- free weights and machines, bikes, treadmills, and yoga mats. Like the other hotels, you could also borrow shorts, shirts, socks, and even sneakers here! The sauna was very clean and not crowded when we went in the morning. It was included as part of our stay but normally there is a charge to use the facilities. Overall, I would recommend staying at the Westin and would stay there again on my next visit to Seoul."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Thr hotel.is conveniently located near the City Hall subway station, which made travel around Seoul easy and convenient. There is plenty of shopping within a short walk and there are restaurants and convenience stores within a block of the hotel entrance. The staff was excellent and committed to being helpful and friendly. The room was clean and had a great view (we were on the 17th floor). Slippers were provided and complimentary water was refilled in the refrigerator daily. The bathroom was spotless and the shower very nice, with almost instant hot water. The breakfast service provided us with a great start to each day with several choices and food prepared to order. I would definitely stay in this hotel during future visits to Seoul."

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. It was the last leg of our 2 weeks in South Korea so it was nice to have a washing machine which was very clean (not moldy and smelly like other hotels in Europe); the hotel provided laundry detergent and a drying rack in the room. Location was great with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel but we walked over to Isaac Toast for 2 mornings and to Namdaemun market for 1 morning breakfast. We used their free shuttle to Seoul station where we took the AREX train to the airport. The shuttle van driver was very nice and courteous. We were dropped off closer than the taxi stands."
