Glue Hotel Dongdaemun ★★★
"We had a very pleasant time at this hotel. There were a few stains on the bed and towels, which we exchanged upon request. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the view was incredible. However, be warned that the walk from Dongdaemun subway station is uphill. If you’re carrying luggage, I recommend getting off at the next station Hyehwa Station and walking downhill to the hotel."
NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONGDONG 1 ★★★
"The location is excellent, right next to the Myeongdong shopping district, which is very convenient. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly."
stay sai
Minimalist accommodation with a cosy atmosphere, ideal for short city stays and young travellers.
Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong ★★★★
"Facilities: A bit old-fashioned, the hotel shows its age. Hygiene: Decent, the cleaning was thorough. Environment: Very convenient, not far from Myeongdong. Service: The front desk staff was welcoming."
HOMES Red Myeongdong ★★★
"stayed with my 17 yo. She loved all the amenities. I’m too old for such design though. But the rooftop is definitely wow for all ages. Breakfast was nice, room was ok with great shower. Try not to loose the keycard or u will be charged"
Brooklyn Blues Hotel ★★★
"The overall ambiance is very American, just like in the pictures – it has a great vibe. Especially when you get to the elevator, there's bluesy jazz music playing. It's interesting that the first floor is actually one floor above the front desk. Communicating in English was no problem at all. There's coffee and breakfast on the ground floor, and a bus stop is just a short walk away, which is convenient. Seoul has quite a few hills, so there's a fair bit of walking up and down. Each floor of the hotel only has about 5-6 rooms. You need to get your own water near the elevator and bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. Since I stayed for about seven nights, which is a relatively long time, I encountered new check-ins and check-outs daily. The only downside is that the soundproofing isn't great. Overall, it's a hotel with pretty good value for money. The front desk staff are also very friendly. Staying here gave a very local experience, and if you like this kind of bluesy atmosphere, you should definitely consider trying it out."
N. Joy stay Dongdaemun ★★★
"Great stay at N.Joy, 5min away from Dongmyo station. Calm area, clean and comfortable rooms, super friendly staff, complimentary drinks and cheap self service myeon !"
ROELA GUEST HOUSE ★★
Koreana Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel boasts an excellent location; the airport shuttle stops right outside, and the subway station is also very close. The service attitude was superb, and the hotel was clean and hygienic."

L’Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong
Elegant luxury hotel blending classic European design with refined dining and sophisticated city vibes.
The Grand Lotte Seoul (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)
"I was very satisfied with the room; they proactively upgraded me to a suite. The suite was very spacious, and they provided two bottles of Evian mineral water daily. In a country like Korea where a bottle of water costs five won, this was a very thoughtful gesture. The bed was comfortable, it was quiet, and the location was convenient. Lotte Department Store is upstairs, and the duty-free shop is on floors 9-12. Myeongdong shopping district is just across the street, making dining and shopping extremely convenient. The subway station is right outside the door. Check-in is on the 15th floor, and they help with luggage and even escort you to your room after check-in. The only drawback was the lack of a Chinese-speaking front desk, but Korean and English communication was fine. The pool and gym are free for guests aged 16 and above. Housekeeping was prompt, and they proactively asked if we needed more water. Everyone offered service with a smile. I stayed for three consecutive nights and was very satisfied."
Sono Calm Goyang
Premium luxury retreat with elegant rooms, spectacular city vistas, close KINTEX proximity, and world-class guest facilities.
Mayfield Hotel Seoul
"It was very clean, and the service attitude was excellent. However, the new building had a strong smell from the wood paneling, almost like formaldehyde, which was a bit overwhelming."
Hamilton Hotel Itaewon
"Disclaimer: I DID NOT checked into the hotel. My review is more on my experience on my request for cancellation due to some misfortune befallen my family member prior to the trip. I have to take a difficult decision to CANCEL altogether my pre-planned trip to South Korea to stay with my family. The hotel policy for my booking was non-refundable which I can understand I will not get the refund. I have informed to request for cancellation prior and they denied outright my cancellation due to hotel policy. Subsequent to that, another email comes in - there is another policy that I have to pay one night stay due to No Show when I already informed my request to cancel. It leaves a bitter taste from my experience with this hotel unfortunately that I have to leave a bad ratings/review. Hopefully the hotel can exercise some decency and compassion towards hotel guest like me in future. Thanks."
Simdo Hotel&Spa Sillim by Anook
"It was great to experience a Japanese-style room! I stayed for two nights, but the amenities and towels weren't refilled. However, it was very close to the station, which was convenient."
Nine Tree Premier ROKAUS Hotel Seoul Yongsan
"The environment here is pretty good. It's right next to Yongsan Subway Station, and IPARKMALL is downstairs, so it's super convenient for taking the subway, eating, and shopping. I blindly picked this hotel myself, and I'd say it's similar to Atour Light hotels in China. There's a gym, but laundry, swimming, and parking all cost extra. Since it was the May Day holiday, the accommodation price was a bit high. We stayed on a higher floor and could see Namsan Tower from our window. Overall, both my child and I were quite satisfied. Just a heads-up, you'll need to transfer subway lines to get from Yongsan to Myeongdong or Gangnam. We didn't eat at the hotel, so I can't comment on the restaurant."
UH FLAT THE SONGDO
Contemporary apartments featuring a rooftop swimming pool, modern living spaces, and convenient access to Songdo’s parks, shopping, and dining.
Hotel Park Habio
"Professional and show courtesy. Excellent baggage storage while waiting to depart to airport."
ROYAL HOTEL SEOUL Myeongdong
"About an hour's drive from Incheon Airport, with various food stalls downstairs and an Olive Young. Shinsegae and Lotte Department Store are just a 10-15 minute walk away."
Nouvelle Hotel and Spa Seoul Jongro by Aank
"I think accommodation is slightly pricey in Seoul nowadays, Overall is good… everything pretty basic but clean just the room very small."
Blue Ocean Hotel 3
"very comfortable stay, loft style apartment, can sleep 4 at most. a bit far from the metro station but taxi is really convenient. microwave is on the lobby floor."
HOMES Stay Myeongdong
"The hotel has a great location, with direct access to its B1 floor from Chungmuro Exit 5, where you can take an elevator up. The hotel lobby is on B2. A special shout-out to Crystal; her Chinese is excellent, and she's incredibly attentive to guests. She even arranged a room with a mountain view for us. Our stay was perfect! The only minor downside is the in-room communication system; it seemed impossible to contact the front desk from our room."
Yul Hanok Hotel
"My room had a separate toilet, shower, and sink area, which was on the same floor but outside my room, so it felt inconvenient. The area around the bed also didn't feel very clean. Considering the price for this area, I suppose I had to compromise. The shower worked fine, but the Wi-Fi was unstable."
Fairfield by Marriott Seoul
A practical, budget-friendly business hotel with excellent transport links and a variety of convenient local dining options nearby.
Ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Yongsan - Seoul Dragon City
"Right next to Yongsan Station Exit 3, just cross the skybridge. There's a CU convenience store on the second floor and a restaurant/cafe in the lobby downstairs. I'Park Mall is nearby, and there are many restaurants near Sinyongsan Station. The only downside is the glass door for the bathroom and toilet, which offers very little privacy."
