Top Dongnimmun Gate Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay if you want to see Korea. We spend a lot of our time walking to major tourist sites."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel in a central location. Rooms spacious and clean, feel a tad dated, but bed comfortable and with all expected amenities. Friendly staff."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and quiet, great location from all the stores in myeongdong and not too far from the station! Perfect stay for solo traveling"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and perfect amenities"

UH Continental SeoulCenter

10/10 Excellent

"I'm sure many are enamored with the giant tub in the middle of the room. Somehow I initially read it as a hot tub but it's just a regular tub and we used it exactly 1 time. It's actually too big to be comfortable. It's not ergonomically designed to include or relax. It's all hard right angles so best you can do is sit awkwardly. And takes forever to fill given how big it is so you start to feel guilty about all the water you're using. Aside from that novelty of an amenity, the rooms are very nice and spacious. The onsite staff is helpful and reachable via WhatsApp or Kakao (no phones in rooms). The location is superb if you're visiting the major sites in Jongno. Overall I'd highly recommend and would stay there again. Note to the property though: a hook or two in the bathroom was so desperately wanted. Seems like a small thing but it'd be nice to hang up the bathrobe or towels."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, super fun for the kids"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent

"Generously sized room and bathroom, great selection at the breakfast buffet. Safe location and right next to a metro station, several bus routes and the airport bus."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Myeongdong and beyond (short walk to metro). We found the room very comfortable with good amenities. Very good breakfast and friendly, professional staff. Being in the centre of Myeongdong it's in an area that's pedestrianised in the evenings, so you may have to walk a short way with luggage. We hadn't realised that there is no restaurant or bar, but there plenty of eateries in the area."

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Location and suite were perfect. I would stay again."
