Top Korea University Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Very central location and close airport limousine bus stop. Caffe Angelinus is a very good for snacks and cofee. Very helpful staff. Only one day when we came back from morning site seeing for afternoon rest by 3 pm, the room was not made, so one star less. Key is location."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL DONGDAEMUN

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic hotel close to public transportation and the airport limousine bus 6001 just drops you right in front! There are 4 convenience stores very close. As for the hotel and the room, I have nothing but good things to say. Clean, well maintained, modern hotel, with great breakfast and good amenities. The laundry room has 2 large washing machines and 2 separate dryers. The storage room has many individual, automatic storage boxes but large enough for a standard checked bag and it’s for free for 12 hours. The rooms are on the small side but I think in Seoul that’s normal, but the bathroom with the heated toilet seat compensates for it. Overall we had a great stay and we would definitely return!"

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."
