Glue Hotel Dongdaemun
8.7 (646 reviews)

Glue Hotel Dongdaemun ★★★

📍 228 Yulgok-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul

"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."

HOMES Red Myeongdong ★★★

📍 176 Toegye-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

"The room was right next to the elevator, across from the utility room, and on the other side was the emergency staircase. Being squeezed between these three was a bit awkward. The service was mediocre, and only the building's exterior looked good. Laundry required going to another floor. The hygiene was average, not as good as Weco a few hundred meters away. Not recommended for introverts."

Brooklyn Blues Hotel
9.2 (646 reviews)

Brooklyn Blues Hotel ★★★

📍 195-14 Yeongeon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul

"The room design is very nice and modern. The hotel is conveniently located close to Olive Young, restaurants, supermarkets and coffee shops. There is also a coffee shop on the ground floor. The staff are attentive and friendly, especially compared to many other hotels. The overall atmosphere feels cozy and homely, making the stay very comfortable. The hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk from both the subway station and the airport bus stop, which is quite convenient. Overall, I was very impressed and value for money. My only minor comment is that some noise from neighbouring rooms and corridors can sometimes be heard. However, it did not affect my overall stay. I would definitely consider staying here again."

N. Joy stay Dongdaemun ★★★

📍 Sungin-dong 217-6 3-5floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul

"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! 👍"

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 ★★★
"This hotel's only redeeming quality is its convenient location, and nothing else! The room was tiny, and the mirror was directly facing the bed. We checked in at night, and since we were hungry and wanted to grab a quick meal, we just decided to make do. But in the middle of the night, my daughter started screaming, which startled me. It was just my daughter and me, and we didn't speak the local language, so I stayed up all night with the lights on until morning when I contacted my husband back home and asked him to reach out to Trip.com! My daughter and I went to the outlet mall. Trip.com was very responsible and helped me contact the hotel, saying they could change our room, but it had to be before 2 PM! You can imagine, with the outlet mall being over an hour's bus ride away, how could I possibly get back before 2 PM? That day, my daughter and I were stuck in that dreadful room again! The only good thing was that Trip.com contacted the hotel and had them cover the mirror for me! Because the bed and mirror were less than 30 centimeters apart, it took the hotel staff a long time to tape up the cloth, as there was no space for a stool! Plus, this room, 809, had intermittent vibrating noises in the middle of the night! We didn't get a new room until the third day! A male front desk staff member who spoke Chinese contacted me, and he was very kind, showing me to the new room."

"The overall hygiene was great, and the space was decent. The underfloor heating was incredibly strong, almost to the point of being too hot for my feet! There was a universal adapter and a hairdryer in the drawer, and most toiletries were provided, except for slippers in the room. I didn't take any pictures, but it looks almost exactly like the display photos. The only downside is the poor soundproofing. I'd consider coming back again in the future if I have the chance."

HOMES Red Myeongdong ★★★
"If we had booked in advance, it would have been quite a good deal, around 600-700 on weekdays. Weekends were over 800. We booked a bit last minute, so it was 1100 a night. But honestly, it was still acceptable, similar to a Hanting Hotel back home. The transportation was convenient, and the service was decent. I'd be willing to book here again next time. I usually stay at Ji Hotel in China, and the difference between this and a Hanting back home is that it's smaller, has a slightly odd layout, and some power outlets have bad connections, but it's cheap, right? PJ Hotel is like a smaller version of a Ji Hotel in China. Booking last minute for one night at 1200, or 1700 on a weekend, is just too much; it doesn't fit my commoner's budget. Forgot to take pictures."

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."

"The location is convenient, and the room is spacious. The airport shuttle bus stops right at the hotel entrance. Public transportation nearby is also convenient, and Gwanghwamun is just a ten-minute walk away. If you turn left after exiting the hotel, there's a city tour bus ticket booth. You can also experience the 'Sunset Coaster' at night."

Hotel Newv Gangnam Seoul ★★★
"The hotel is currently undergoing significant renovations on its ground floor. Consequently, the reception has been temporarily relocated to a smaller room on the 5th floor. Guests must navigate through the renovation site when entering and exiting the premises daily. The hotel room itself is commendably clean and comfortable. However, in adherence to government green policies, the hotel no longer provides amenities such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Furthermore, it lacks a bathtub, which deviates from the illustrative photo presented on the booking platform. Its location is highly advantageous, situated merely 300 meters from Seolleung MRT Station (Lines 2 & 3), offering convenient access to major tourist attractions. Additionally, a diverse array of restaurants and cafes can be found in the immediate vicinity."
