Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo
9.1 (3,621 reviews)

Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo ★★★★

📍 67 Mapo-daero, Mapo-gu, Seoul

"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!"

Urbanslow ★★

📍 9 Seogang-ro 20-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul

"Overall, the stay was good, but the air freshener scent was a bit too strong for my liking. Aside from that, everything else was comfortable and enjoyable."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONGDONG 2
9.0 (3,079 reviews)

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONGDONG 2 ★★★★

📍 28 Mareunnae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

Comfortable, contemporary accommodation located near popular shopping streets and public transport links.

Hotel Skypark Dongdaemun I
8.7 (2,348 reviews)

Hotel Skypark Dongdaemun I ★★★★

📍 335 Dongho-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

"Convenient for taking the airport bus to and from the airport."

Glue Hotel Dongdaemun
8.7 (661 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."

D STAY HOSTEL dongdaemun
8.9 (550 reviews)

D STAY HOSTEL dongdaemun ★★

📍 20 Jong-ro 46-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

"My second stay. I was assigned a room on the 4th floor, which also houses the restaurant, so I was initially worried about potential noise. However, they've thoughtfully separated the laundry and cooking facilities. Furthermore, the diners were very considerate and quiet, so I ended up sleeping wonderfully. The location, cleanliness, and service were all impeccable. I'll definitely choose this place again for any future stays! 😍"

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong
8.8 (2,124 reviews)

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong ★★★★

📍 16 Myeongdong 9-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul

"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!"

Inyoustay
8.9 (8 reviews)

Inyoustay ★★

📍 131 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul

"It exceeded my expectations!! It was close to the station, so it was great for getting around, and the location was really convenient! The accommodation was cozy and clean, so it was a great place to rest. The Hangang Ramen was free, so it was perfect for a late-night snack~ They even gave us a discount for the grand opening~ Thanks to them, I had a fun time and a comfortable rest! I want to visit again next time~!"

Shilla Stay Mapo (Hongdae)
8.9 (1,699 reviews)

Shilla Stay Mapo (Hongdae) ★★★★

📍 83 Mapo-daero, Mapo-gu, Seoul

"Thumbs up! The only downside was the breakfast, which wasn't great. Just adding some extra characters here: 666677778888999000001111222233333"

Ramada Encore by Wyndham Gimpo HAN River Hotel Hotels in Seoul

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."

Hotel Park Habio Hotels in Seoul

Hotel Park Habio

"The location is great, really close to the city center, which makes getting around super convenient. There are tons of restaurants downstairs too, so finding a place to eat is a breeze. My only minor complaint is that the facilities are a bit old, but other than that, everything was fine."

ROYAL HOTEL SEOUL Myeongdong Hotels in Seoul

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."

UH Suite The Coex Hotels in Seoul

UH Suite The Coex

"Big warning! There were two huge, brightly lit 'EXIT' signs in the room that couldn't be turned off, which severely disrupted my sleep. The hotel didn't inform me about this beforehand. When I asked, they said no other rooms were available. They also didn't respond when I asked for an eye mask. On top of that, the bathroom smelled really bad. I definitely won't be staying here again."

Blue Ocean Hotel 3 Hotels in Seoul

Blue Ocean Hotel 3

"No hot water. No disposable amenities. No coffee, no toothbrush or toothpaste. Parking is cramped. Shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soap are of the worst quality."

Roynet Hotel Seoul Mapo ★★★★
"I had a layover for a day and wanted to book a hotel near the subway for easy access. To my surprise, it was a fantastic stay! Upon arrival, I found self-service check-in machines, which was fun, and there were staff members who kindly guided me. The room size was just right and thoughtfully arranged. As soon as I entered, I noticed charging outlets with various ports, which was very convenient. The separate toilet and shower were also a big plus. The location is excellent, making dining easy. Downstairs from the hotel is a large Korean chain coffee shop with a wide selection of pastries, and it was still bustling with customers past 9 PM. Just across the street, there's a McDonald's open until 2 AM, and a 7-Eleven. Overall, I'm very satisfied."

"Very friendly staff, great location, and a super convenient hotel. I totally enjoyed this place, thank you so much, and see you soon! It's just one stop from Myeongdong. I arrived at the airport late at night and caught the last airport express train. Since the city's subway had already stopped running, I got off at the closest subway station. No need for a taxi, it was a very easy 1km walk, which was actually quite nice as I got to see some of Korea's nightlife along the way! I recommend getting a 3-day climate card; it's super convenient for buses and subways all over Seoul."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONGDONG 2 ★★★★
"The hotel is located near Myeongdong and is accessible by airport bus, about a 5-10 minute walk away. It's closer to Subway Line 3, but quite a distance from Subway Line 2. Shinsegae Duty Free is about a 30-minute walk. There's a GS25 downstairs, which is convenient for grabbing breakfast. We booked a triple room and chose it based on photos that showed a sofa, but there wasn't one in the actual room. Felt a bit misled, but due to the language barrier, I didn't bother trying to clarify. The soundproofing isn't great, and the toilet seat was smaller than the toilet, which was a bit odd. The room was cleaned daily, and water and tea bags were replenished. Remember to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, as they are not provided."

Glue Hotel Dongdaemun ★★★
"The small room size wasn't even the biggest issue, the cleanliness was just awful, awful, awful! You couldn't even move around much, or the air quality would immediately get stuffy. And the street outside was so noisy. Ugh, I have no idea how this place got any good reviews. So frustrating. 😒"

Inyoustay ★★
"The hotel seems to be brand new, all needed amenities, new towels. Comfy beds. English speaking staff. But I felt really uncomfortable because of hypocrisy and prejudice towards us, I’m not sure why that attitude. Maybe because we are foreigners?!But a bit disappointing. We also wanted to extend our stay for five hours as we waited for our flight, but we were told that we need to pay almost the full price 150k won. Which is insane…😭😑"
