Top Korea University Hotel Reviews

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super helpful they even let me keep my suitcase safe while I went to Busan and Jeju for 7 days. The laundry service was helpful and the location is great for getting to other key spots and attending day trips. The room was smaller than expected but that's what you get for "cozy" size but the lounge area made up for that with unlimited coffee. I would definitely stay here again"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and perfect amenities"

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staffs and clean room."

Friendly DH Naissance Hotel by Mindrum Group

8/10 Good

"We had a loft room , it’s on a smaller side , it’s ok . Location is good . Breakfast was not up to my liking but that’s because it’s traditional to Korea, I would like to have eggs and sandwich meats , but they had soup and rise ."

IBC Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service. Room was clean. They provided fresh towels and water bottles every day even when we do not ask for cleaning. Breakfast had options as well."

Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun

8/10 Good

"Great location. Options for late check out. Happy to have an air filter and humidifier available in the room. Housekeeping was not consistent. Area under the beds had not been cleaned in some time."

Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were multilingual and willing to help with everything possible. The room was simple, bathroom was spacious and clean. Each floor has a shared kitchen with a microwave. Each room has a mini-fridge. A 7-11 opened in the lobby recently, so you can get banana milk 24/7 (good or bad, you decide). Location is soooooo convenient. I was able to get to the subway easily. It was perfectly located for everything I had planned. Uber pick-up and drop-offs were easy as well. Maaany food options in the nearby streets and neighborhood. Post office was about a 12 minute walk away. I cannot wait for my next trip. My friends all want to stay here too after they asked for my opinion. They know I am simple but can be picky about little things. So my recommendation means a lot to them since I pinpoint areas they also have issues with and tell them whether they will be okay or not."

Dongdaemun Stay Garden

8/10 Good

"The staff, when available, were really helpful. The room is small but clean and well maintained. It is also a great location near two subway stations."
