Top Gwanghuimun Gate Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, very well located. Breakfast was good, good co-working space. Improvements - second bedroom isn’t ventilated, had to crank up living room AC to get some air in the room."

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The room is modern and I like the bathroom (although could do with some washcloths and more towels) but my only complaint was that this was NOT Central Myeongdong as the hotel name implies--it's a very quiet residential area that almost looks a bit seedy, with not much going on as it is mostly printing and furniture shops. Very local, which is cool but not useful for tourists. Good thing is the subway is a 3min walk away but I'd prefer to have more coffee places, shops, restaurants etc around a hotel I stay at."

The Summit Hotel Seoul Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean staff was helpful"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Will 100% stay here again if I ever visit. Very clean, spacious, laundry in room, very accommodating, friendly staff."

Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent customer service. Clean rooms. The lobby is on the 14th floor with a 7-11! That was really nice surprise knowing you don't have to leave the hotel in the middle of the night if you're craving some snacks. Located above the Hyndai outlet mall and another 5-6 story wholesale clothing and accessories market beside it. Across the street from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park and in between 2 subway stations."

K-Grand Hotel DDP

10/10 Excellent

"Trés bien placé, chambre renovée et propre. Personnel a l’accueil trés agreable. Eau et café a disposition. Je recommande sans hesiter !"
