Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo ★★★★
"The location is great, and the surrounding area is pretty good too! The only slight inconvenience is that the front desk isn't on the first floor, but on the third. However, the large coffee shop on the first floor is super convenient for coffee *******, and it's a branded chain that accepts Alipay, so no cash needed – very handy (it's great that Alipay is accepted in most parts of Seoul, though it gets a bit less convenient outside the city). The Korean restaurant on the second floor is also excellent. Right next to the hotel is an Olive Young, so you can shop without having to drag your purchases too far – a big plus! The airport bus stop for transfers to the airport is also just a short walk from the entrance, making airport access really easy. The room has everything you need. For this location, it's perfect!"
Another House Dongdaemun (Women Only) ★★
"The location was excellent, very close to Dongdaemun Station and within walking distance to Dongdaemun Comprehensive Market. Since I only needed a place to sleep this time, it was great that the room was private and clean. I think it would be incredibly convenient if your main purpose is shopping in Dongdaemun. I used the shower in the morning, and the shower room was clean. However, there was a lot of hair on the floor in the area where the hair dryers were. Also, you can't flush toilet paper here. The lounge offered instant coffee sticks and mini yakgwa (traditional Korean confectionery), which was nice for a short break. This place is perfect for those who prioritize shopping in Dongdaemun and just need a place to sleep, rather than those who focus on a 'hotel stay.' The good location was definitely a big plus. If I'm visiting Korea specifically for shopping in Dongdaemun again, I'd like to stay here. Thank you!"
Hotel Skypark Dongdaemun I ★★★★
"Convenient for taking the airport bus to and from the airport."
Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong ★★★★
"Right in the heart of Myeongdong, with a 7-Eleven downstairs and the Myeongdong shopping district directly across the street on both sides! Super convenient! The subway station is also very close!"
Fairfield by Marriott Seoul ★★★★
A practical, budget-friendly business hotel with easy access to public transit and convenient dining options nearby.
The Garden Hotel ★★★
"Had a very comfortable stay. The front desk staff were exceptionally good. It's very close to the city's attractions, and there's a CU convenience store and plenty of food options not far from the entrance. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Seoul."
UH Suite the Myeongdong ★★★
Spacious, suite-style stay ideal for travelers seeking comfort, privacy, and a modern, local experience.
Melo Stay Seoul
"I stayed with my friend and the property was fantastic. Very modern room set up with all the amenities one could require and extremely clean. The owners were also very kind and did everything they could to make our stay fabulous!"
Glue Hotel Dongdaemun ★★★
"Overall, a pleasant stay. The room was small but very clean, with a lovely view from the upper floor. Daily housekeeping and friendly staff made the experience comfortable. Early check-in wasn’t possible, but luggage storage at reception was convenient. The location is excellent — close to major attractions, cafés, shops, and public transport. Easy access from the airport: a direct bus 6011 to the Changgyeonggung Palace (about an hour), then just a 10-minute walk. Minor downsides: limited hangers and storage space, and the complimentary water bottles weren’t replenished every day. Soundproofing could be better, but I was lucky to have quiet neighbors. Overall, a great option for a short stay."

Ramada Encore by Wyndham Gimpo HAN River Hotel
"Honestly, I really love staying at this hotel, and I try to book it every time I visit Korea. People have heard enough about the pros, so this time I'll just focus on the cons: 1. The room only provides two bottles of water, and there's no public water dispenser. If you're comfortable with the language, you can call the front desk for free refills. However, if there's a language barrier, your only option is to fill and boil water from the bathroom tap. 2. There's a shuttle bus advertisement (provided by the district office) posted on the ground floor, but the front desk doesn't proactively promote it. Remember to take a good look and snap a photo for your reference. 3. I'll write about the next point in my following review."

The Shilla Seoul
"I arrived late at night, and the hotel's location and facilities were excellent. The decor had a distinct Korean charm. The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable. My only complaint would be that there was no one at the door to help with luggage when it was quiet at night."

ROYAL HOTEL SEOUL Myeongdong
"Let's start with the positives, which are truly hard to ignore – the location is absolutely fantastic. It's right at the end of Myeongdong's main street, so stepping out means diving straight into the shopping crowds. To the right, you'll find the Olive Young Myeongdong flagship store, and across the street, there's Starbucks, Sushiro, and a CU convenience store. You'll never have to worry about finding late-night snacks or drinks. The hotel's public areas are also quite aesthetically pleasing. Transportation is also hassle-free. From the airport, you can take the 6015 luxury airport limousine bus directly to "Seoul Royal Hotel/Euljiro 1-ga Station." The stop is very close to the hotel. Just walk a few steps with your luggage, turn right at the small intersection, and walk up a slight incline for about a dozen meters, and you're there. However, a word of caution: during the peak summer season, there are a lot of people waiting for the bus. On our day, we queued outdoors for over an hour, hot and sunny, sweating non-stop. If you're traveling with elderly people or children, be prepared for this. Now, about the actual stay. The room was indeed on the smaller side, and with the summer peak season prices, the value for money wasn't great. The facilities show their age. What impacted our sleep the most was the refrigerator, which had noticeable noise. We ended up unplugging it both nights to get some peace and quiet. Also, on weekend evenings, the street music played until midnight. If you have high demands for your sleeping environment, I'd advise considering this carefully. In summary: if you're prioritizing convenient shopping and don't mind a small or dated room, spending most of your day out and just returning to sleep at night, then this place is a great fit. But if room comfort, a quiet environment, and value for money are more important to you, then you might want to compare a few more options. This is just my personal experience for your reference."
Nouvelle Hotel and Spa Seoul Jongro by Aank
"The hotel is a bit of a walk from the station, but the location is excellent. There are plenty of restaurants around, so even solo travelers won't have trouble finding food. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. Since it was a hot time of year, I was really happy that the water in the fridge was cold."
Grand Walkerhill Seoul
"It’s nice that so many people can speak Japanese."
Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul Yongsan
"Great location and amenities and view of Jamaal tower, with direct walkway access from Yongsan station"
