Top Gwangjin-gu Hotel Reviews

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t be better located. Right in the heart of the action. And top notch hotel."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Right at the edge of Myeongdong. Don’t be confused with Lotte Hotel which is attached to the Dept store. Everything was very walkable and convenient. The city is also full of e-hailing rides and rails at very affordable price. Amenities in the hotel were all practical and relevant. They also have coin operated washers and dryers on site. The washers smells a little moldy and the dryers were a little weak in drying. Will return if visit again."

Glad Mapo

8/10 Good

"Hotel very conveniently located right next to subway entrance. Walking distance to a restaurant and bar street in the area. Room is spacious and clean. However, some of the amenities in the room feel like they r falling apart. Shower drain doesn’t work properly, makeup mirror is water stained and wobbly, back-panel for under the sink cabinet fell off. Electric outlets in the room are a hit and miss too."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my husband absolutely love staying at this hotel everytime we are in Seoul. Very convenient in terms of location to transportation: the airport limousine bus drops off a minute away, station access within a couple minutes, and bus stops just a few steps from the entrance of the hotel. There is also a port cochere for easy taxi or car drop offs and pick ups. There is a plethora of food options in every direction, including some nightlife one street behind the hotel. This hotel’s staff is always friendly and respectful, extremely clean, and has a nice view of Gyeongbokgung Palace and the surrounding city. The room size is enough for a couple. We got a room where the toilet room and shower room were separate so that was a plus. One of my favorite amenities that they provide are collagen eye masks which are perfect when you’ve traveled for hours and need a refresh. Highly recommend this hotel for short or long stays. We can’t wait for our next trip to the Hotel Gracery Seoul!"
