ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay atThe ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun was fabulous. My family and I had the best time imaginable in Seoul and The ENA Hotel certainly helped to make that possible. First off, the reception staff was wonderful, especially Zoe who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. She and rest of the staff were always willing to help from giving us directions to local restaurants and attractions to helping us secure cab rides everywhere we wished to go that was not within walking distance. They speak excellent English and are all so pleasant. The hotel is very clean and well maintained and perfectly situated close to all that Seoul has to offer. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and this hotel, we highly recommend them!"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent
"One elevator from ground floor to hotel lobby on the 5 th floor was disabled. It was not quickly fixed. Very slow and with groups of people too numerous to fit in the car. So, it took 2 or 3, trips to get upstairs to the lobby. This is more a reflection on the building owner rather than the hotel. Breakfast was well worth the cost. Good selection. Food presented well. Tons of selection."
