KPOP#Myeong-dong#Hongdae#Dongdaemun DDP#KSPO DOME#Kochek Dome#5 minutes by subway#6 people ★★★
"It was our first trip to Seoul with the kids, and we had a great rest at this wonderful accommodation. Our schedule for the day was packed and tiring, but we rested well at the place. Our summer clothes were soaked in sweat, but thanks to the washing machine, we were able to bring them back safely without any lingering smells. All the facilities were well-equipped, and we experienced no inconvenience using them. We couldn't find any laundry detergent, so we bought some ourselves and left it behind. It would be great if you could leave some out for us to use. If you are using public transportation, it is closest to get off at Seoul Venture Town Station on the subway. I think it would be great for families traveling to Seoul. You can cook your own meals, and the large refrigerator is a plus. It was a wonderful trip. Thanks to you, we were able to handle the next day's schedule and return home safely. Thank you. Oh, the photos are exactly as the owner posted them, so I just uploaded a shot of the front entrance. It is impeccably clean."
N. Joy stay Dongdaemun ★★★
"This was my second stay here. I couldn't book a single or standard room, so I went for a triple room instead. The accommodation was fine; the location is convenient with good transport links nearby. Basic toiletries are provided, and the room was clean. The staff are friendly, and when I had a question and emailed them, they responded very quickly. Thumbs up! 👍"

Kensington Hotel Yeouido
"The hotel has a more traditional style, and the service is quite good. Some of the rooms seem to have been renovated, and most areas are decent. However, the bathroom floor in the bathtub area was very slippery when showering. There are many dining options right out the back door of the hotel, and it's not too far from the subway station. Booking in advance makes it excellent value for money."

The service is proactive and warm. Although the price is a bit high, I still feel it's well worth it. The overall experience was superb! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seoul!"

Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul
"Not a bad hotel. The most convenient thing about it is the 24-hour CU (convenience store), whose staff are always friendly and polite. Now I have to mention the downsides, which, to be honest, I wasn’t prepared for at all. The first and main drawback is that I was supposed to get an Executive class room. However, instead, I stayed in a Deluxe class room. Let me clarify right away: I had previously stayed at the Swiss Grand Hotel under the Play&Stay package, which means I didn’t know what room category I would be given until the very end. To make things easier for me and avoid having to check out and check back in, they gave me one standard room for the entire stay. You can imagine my surprise when I found out that my new friend, who also checked in under Play&Stay for the same dates as me, was given an Executive class room – even though she checked in later. So basically, I could have been staying in better conditions. When I received my voucher from Trip.com and saw that it listed a room like my friend’s – nothing like what I actually got – I went to the front desk. The administrator just smiled and shrugged. All he said was, 'You agreed to stay in that room.' Yes, I agreed, but no one told me about any alternatives at check-in… And the situation was NOT resolved at all. That said, I can’t say the conditions in the Deluxe Room were bad (otherwise I wouldn’t have let it slide). It was quite cozy, spacious, and overall pleasant to stay in. That said, one day, the person in charge of housekeeping apparently decided I didn’t need to take a shower, so they removed the shower gel container for a whole day (luckily, I had brought travel-sized ones with me, even though I had hoped I wouldn’t need them). Other than that, everything was fine, and even that somewhat questionable attitude from the staff didn’t ruin my vacation."
Connected Hotel Nonhyeon
"I really liked the hotel's location; it was very convenient for getting around. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The interior design was simple and clean, and the cleanliness was excellent. However, be aware that the rooms are not very large, and there's limited space to move around. I recommend this hotel for those traveling light; it's perfect for a short city getaway."
Nine Tree Premier ROKAUS Hotel Seoul Yongsan
"Had a great stay at Nine Tree Premier ROKAUS Hotel Seoul Yongsan. The hotel is very new, modern, and extremely clean. The location is super convenient — there is a large shopping mall right next to the hotel, and the subway station is nearby as well. There are also many restaurants around the area, making it very easy to find food anytime. The staff were friendly and the facilities were excellent. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Seoul!"
UH FLAT THE SONGDO
Discover contemporary apartments where a refreshing rooftop pool meets sleek, modern living spaces. Perfectly positioned for easy access to Songdo’s vibrant parks, shopping, and dining, this destination offers the perfect home base for your next city stay.
Hamilton Hotel Itaewon
"My friends and I were looking forward to this hotel because we have stayed here two times before, but when we tried to change our stay from one night to three nights on a different weekend, they refused to even speak to us about making those date changes and extending. Terrible customer service :( the location is great, but it’s not worth the hassle."
Ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeong-Dong
A stylish, budget-friendly hotel in the heart of Seoul's bustling Myeong-dong, where you're steps from neon-lit shopping streets, street food stalls, and the city's vibrant nightlife.
Blue Ocean Hotel 3

ROYAL HOTEL SEOUL Myeongdong
"Very well located in the best tourist spot. Great shopping experience and fantastic food selections."
The Classic 500 Pentaz Executive Residence
