Top Seodaemun Prison History Museum 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

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. Would like bigger pillows, but that is being picky."

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
