4-Star Hotels in Seoul

The location is excellent, very close to the subway station, making it convenient to get to the main street and Yeonnam-dong. The hotel is right by the main road, so it's easy to catch a taxi. We were on a high floor, so we couldn't hear any traffic noise. The staff provided excellent service; if we had any issues, a quick phone call would get someone up to our room to handle it, and their English was perfect with no accent. After checking out, I realized I had left some jewelry in the room. After inquiring, I quickly received a confirmation call, and they were also able to store our luggage for us after checkout.

The location is fantastic! Although the room was small, the layout was very efficient. I was surprised they even managed to fit a bathtub and had a separate wet/dry area in such a small space – only in Japan/Korea! The great location meant I could pop back to the hotel to drop off my shopping, which saved a lot of time. Plus, if you cut through the Olive Young store next door, you can get to the other side of the street easily. When checking out, you can use the self-service machine on the first floor, which is super quick. Cars can pull right up to the entrance in the morning and evening. At other times, you have to walk a short distance, but overall, it's very convenient – a one-stop shop for eating, shopping, and exploring!

The location is excellent, right in Insadong, close to Myeongdong, Gwanghwamun, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Bukchon Hanok Village. Anguk Subway Station is nearby, as is the 6011 airport limousine bus stop. There's also a mall next door with dining options and an Olive Young. Facilities: We chose the bunk bed room for our child, but the space was too small. Service: The staff were very friendly, and you could even choose your pillow at the front desk. They provided cotton pads, shower caps, and cotton swabs, which is a rare find these days, and the quality was excellent. There are also many popular cafes and bakeries in the area.

1. Breakfast was disappointing; there wasn't much protein, and even the noodle soup had no meat. I stayed for four nights, and by the first day, I seriously considered changing hotels because of the breakfast. 2. The room had a fridge and slippers, but no comb, toothbrush, or toothpaste. You'll need to bring your own. 3. AK Plaza isn't a great mall; there's not much to buy. 4. There weren't enough outlets by the bed and desk. I recommend bringing a power strip if you have multiple devices to charge.

Before my trip, I was overwhelmed trying to pick a hotel in Myeongdong. I then changed my strategy and opted for Dongdaemun, which is just two subway stops away from Myeongdong, and it turned out to be a very wise choice. The hotel lobby is on the 14th floor, a large spacious hall. Check-in is done via self-service machines, but there are also staff members available. Initially, my friend and I had separate rooms, but a Chinese-speaking staff member kindly helped us switch to adjoining rooms. They were truly friendly. There's a 24-hour 7-Eleven right next door. The room wasn't large but it was very clean, and we had no problem opening two small suitcases. Breakfast was good, and you can even see N Seoul Tower from the upper floors. The subway, airport bus, restaurants, and shopping malls are all nearby. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

Although I didn't see many reviews for this hotel on Xiaohongshu, it was relatively cheaper during the Dragon Boat Festival compared to other hotels around Myeongdong, and the double rooms were larger than those near other commercial areas. It's a Japanese-style hotel, popular with many Japanese guests. Check-in and check-out are done via self-service machines, and staff are available to assist if needed – the service attitude is excellent. The bathroom has a bathtub and toiletries, so you only need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. The room also provides bath salts and eye masks. The soundproofing is very good. Right outside the hotel, there's a small CU convenience store, a Starbucks, and a food street, so dining out was very convenient. It's about a 10-minute walk to Shinsegae Department Store, Myeongdong, or the subway station. There's also an Olive Young on the way to the subway station. The best part is that the Incheon Airport limousine bus stops right on the street outside the hotel, making travel to and from the airport incredibly convenient. I would definitely choose this hotel again – highly recommended! Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people!

The location is great, right in Euljiro 3-ga. The room facilities are also good, with a washing machine and dryer. Four of us girls stayed together, and there was a big table where we could chat, do our makeup, and skincare every day. It was a very enjoyable trip.

The room is really nice and comfortable. We really had a good time when stay. Check-in and Check-out is really smooth and comfortable. There has many convenience stores around, however, the restaurant around is quite limited and close early. We love to stay again if we have a chance.

First off, this is a legitimate hotel, not a guesthouse or a self-built inn. It has all the standard hotel amenities. It's definitely a suitable place to stay. Now, regarding the location, don't trust some of the online guides. This area isn't a commercial district or where tourists would typically want to go. It's a wholesale market hub, much like Beijing's Zoo Market or Chengdu's Lotus Pond Market – places that open at night for stocking up and close during the day. Within a two-kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of tailor shops. Of course, there are some malls that are open during the day, but they're very few, so it's not recommended for tourists to stay here. I chose this place because I was returning to China from Busan, wanted a good night's rest, and needed to go to Gimpo Airport the next day. For everyone else, it's probably best to stick to hotels near Myeongdong; having Lotte Department Store right outside is the way to go. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste; you have to buy them from a vending machine. They really don't offer them at all, unlike other hotels where they might not actively provide them but will give them to you if you ask, like a razor. The two beds are roughly the size you'd find in a student dormitory. The breakfast *looked* like it would be good, but the reality was that it ended at 10 AM, with last entry at 9:30 AM. I went around 8:40 AM, and all that was left was sliced bread, sliced baguette, and instant noodles. As for scrambled eggs, bacon fried rice, which should have been there, I didn't see any – they were gone by at least 8:30 AM, and they didn't restock at all. The small pots for dishes in my pictures were all empty. I only managed to eat four small mushrooms. The hotel description mentioned sausages and other items, but there was absolutely nothing. In the end, I had a cup of instant noodles and a glass of grape juice.

The location is great even though it’s not near any train station. There’s airport bus limousine nearby. My aircon was not working (unable to adjust the temperature) while my friends’ room are able to do so. The staff was not able to resolve the issue and claimed it’s normal when I showed him it’s now. They did not help to resolve the situation. Room is clean but there was a paper shopping bag left in my room (I saw it during check in). Bed is made up of two single beds pushed together. The walking space around the room is narrow, difficult to open up the luggage if it’s big.
