Top Gwanghwamun Hotel Reviews

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, amazing staff, clean, nice and updated rooms, decent price"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff !"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Room was a good size and the staff were helpful."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our honeymoon here and we had an absolutely phenomenal experience. The staff were so helpful and polite. The interior is extremely clean and well kept. The breakfast was excellent!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The concierge, Mr. Woo was exceptionally helpful for us"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is a fantastic choice if you want to stay in the heart of downtown Seoul. The lobby is located on the 21st floor, and my room was on the 18th floor with a wonderful view. They also provide a great selection of room amenities. The only minor downside is that taxis cannot pick you up or drop you off directly in front of the hotel, as it’s located in a pedestrian-only zone where cars aren't allowed from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. However, that’s also a huge plus—you’re just a few steps away from all the energy and excitement of Myeongdong without any traffic noise!"

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Insadong! Rooms were very nice and had good space, great value for the money. Overall our favorite hotel we stayed at when visiting Seoul and Busan."

New Seoul Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the hotel is very convenient. It is close to attractions, buses and subway. Staff was always friendly and ready to help. The nice room maid kept my room clean. Breakfast room staff had good choices of food ready and front desk staff were always helpful. The room was good size and very quiet. The bed was large, comfortable and cozy. The next time I go to Seoul, I will definitely stay at this same hotel."
