Top Seongbuk-gu Hotel Reviews

Lotte Hotel World

10/10 Excellent

"The only issue is expensive. Other than that this hotel is great."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Myeongdong! The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, and their communication was excellent throughout our stay. The location was also a major plus. The hotel is very accessible and conveniently located near many restaurants, shops, transportation, and attractions in Myeongdong, making it easy to explore Seoul. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul. We would happily stay here again on our next trip to Korea!"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"The Shilla Soedaemun is at the highest end of budget and none the worse for that. Breakfast is pretty good with Western and Korean options. Room are a little on the small side but quite serviceable - we found there was ample room for two. The metro station outside gives good access to Seoul’s sights, but the hotel is 20 minutes walk away from Seoul Station and there is no easy metro connection - it took us 55 minutes on the metro, most of which was spent walking from one line to another . The hotel’s “Seoul staton” monicker is very misleading"

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"We are a family of 4 who spent a week in Seoul, touring the city and its nearby sites. Novotel met all our needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hotel is closed to a subway and a night market around the corner, so it's very convenient to get from one place to another. Breakfast was buffet-style, serving varying Asian/Western options. The soup noodle was my favorite. Thanks Novotel for making our stay in Seoul so enjoyable, will definitely book with you whenever we are back in Seoul."
