HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"I liked this hotel. It was in a convenient spot. It was clean and a comfortable stay with my 2 friends. The staff were nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel!"

Lotte Hotel World

8/10 Good

"I will not return to this hotel in the future. The negative aspects of this hotel negate the all the positive things about it for me. The hotel is neither close to gangnam or gangbuk. It is quite a distance away from most of the attraction sites in Gangbuk (easily taking 50-55mins using subway and walking). I will choose to stay either at Gangnam or close to attraction sites in Gangbuk the next time. More importantly, the staff are unhelpful. Polite but unhelpful. I don’t think it is individual staff necessarily. there is no concept of hospitality across all front desk staff. I find their lack of caring profoundly upsetting. I’ve contacted the hotel 4-5days prior to our arrival enquiring if we could check in early because we had a dentist appointment at 2:30pm after arriving from Australia at the hotel in late morning and would like to have a short rest before getting to the dentist. They sent a very standardised email advising they cannot guarantee an early check in and it will depend on availability. On the day of arrival, they advised there is no availability and they were going to check us in only after 3. There was no offer to use their changing room and shower in their swimming pool to freshen ourselves up or offer of contacting us earlier than 3 if a room was to become available.instead I was told if I want to check in early, I need to pay for a day which got me thinking that they do have rooms available but just don’t want us to check in a couple of hrs early."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"Good central location but the walk to the subway is too long. The room is smaller than expected and the bathroom is not separate from the bed area. An awkward design. I mentioned to the front desk and showed some pictures, that the shower wand holder was loose on the wall, nothing was done to correct the problem. I also mentioned the mold on the bathroom wall near the soap dispensers. The solution was that housekeeping scrubbed the mold with a toothpick and left the dirty toothpick on my scrub sponge."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

8/10 Good

"Stay was comfortable and the hotel is well located. The rooms are quite old and some upgrading works are needed. Overall it has been a good stay. However, beware that staying here in summer can be a struggle as they do not allow your air conditioning to drop below 24°C. They use central cooling and so our rooms were feeling really stuffy and warm."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"
