Dongdaemun Market Seoul|2.34km from downtown
The hotel is a bit far from the city center, but compared to hotels in the city, this one offers better value for money. There's a subway station nearby, making it convenient to take the subway to various attractions. Alternatively, you can download a Korean ride-hailing app to book a car in advance or call one instantly, which is very handy, especially for larger groups of more than five people. There are also many restaurants around the hotel, offering all sorts of Korean delicacies – you just need to take a short walk to find them! The hotel front desk staff speak English and are warm and attentive. We booked two rooms: one king room and one twin room. The twin room had one queen-sized bed and one single bed, accommodating three people, and also featured a balcony. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and quite spacious, and the water temperature was just right. We particularly loved the hotel's shampoo and conditioner; our hair felt incredibly smooth after using them – we really want to know the brand! 😄 The hotel's buffet breakfast didn't have a huge variety, but the food tasted good. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay!

Location: The location is very convenient. From the lobby on the first floor, you can access the subway station directly. From the basement, there's another subway entrance and a Starbucks across the street. You can walk through a passage straight to Myeongdong Shopping Street. Cleanliness: Although it's a bit old, it's kept very clean. Room Size: The room is not big. Soundproofing: Excellent. Room Amenities: The bed is incredibly comfortable; it's very easy to fall asleep on it. Value for money: For this location, it's really great value. Staying for 3 nights for 6400 RMB was definitely worth it.

I had an incredible stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. The service was exceptional, with a special mention to Jenna, I met the first day with 6 hours flight delay who went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. The housekeeping team was equally outstanding, ensuring my room was always spotless and adding thoughtful touches that enhanced my stay (Thank you for the yummy chocolate pastries and eye masks). The hotel’s facilities, location, and overall atmosphere were flawless, truly embodying luxury and comfort.  The only minor downside was the mattress, which was a bit softer than I prefer. However, this didn’t detract from the amazing experience. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Seoul!   Also no worries about restaurants there, many restaurants you can see nearby. The BBQ restaurant opposite the hotel is absolutely amazing! The two ladies there are incredibly friendly and especially attentive to children. The Korean beef and pork are truly delicious, and the kimchi, along with the slightly spicy mushroom soup, is fantastic. It’s even better than the Michelin one-star BBQ beef restaurant I visited the next day in Gangnam.

The room was excellent. I was greeted by staff right from check-in, and they were very friendly. They had even sent an email beforehand to arrange a lovely welcome gift. I also purchased breakfast, and the desserts on the first floor were incredibly delicious – truly deserving of their reputation as the best French pastries! The toiletries were also great. My stay was super enjoyable, and I'll definitely book again next time. The toiletries shop on the first floor was also a great deal with lots of freebies. Overall, a very satisfying trip!

We stayed at Hotel Venue G in Seoul for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent, it’s close to many attractions, restaurants, and shops, and very convenient for getting around the city. There’s also the beautiful Cheonggyecheon Stream right in front of the hotel, perfect for a peaceful walk in the morning or evening. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re looking for good value and a convenient location in Seoul.

Such a great location, literally 1min walk to City circle (Green line 2) subway station in between Euljiro and Euljiro so charging to line 3 and line 5 is so convenient. Also walking distance (5min) to Gwangjang market and Chenggyechen. Eben the Airport bus right in front of hotel every 10min.

Environment: The location is excellent. It's just 20 meters straight ahead from Myeongdong Subway Exit 10. The airport bus stop is only 50 meters away, Myeongdong is right behind the hotel, and the North Face building and Daiso are across the street. Service: It was just average, I didn't really experience any special service. The hotel requires check-in at 3 PM, and they stored my luggage for me. There's a self-check-in machine at the front desk, which was quite convenient and available in Chinese. Facilities: It's definitely an older hotel. You absolutely need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, as the hotel doesn't provide them. They cost ₩1000 if you need to buy them.

This is my third time staying here in Korea. It's very convenient for shopping in Myeongdong and getting beauty treatments; you just cross an underpass and you're there. Aside from it being a bit small, there are no other issues. I requested a room with a shower, so if you don't like bathtubs, remember to make a note of it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Hotel Review – Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong Had a great stay here and would highly recommend it. The location is excellent—right in the heart of Myeongdong, surrounded by shopping, food options, and with easy access to public transport. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Despite being in a busy area, the room was quiet and allowed for good rest. Staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful throughout the stay, making check-in and check-out smooth. Overall, great value for money and a very convenient base for exploring Seoul. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is highly automated with self check-in/out. Amenities are requested via kiosks or robots and come quite fast. My kid loved the robot coming to the room and the moving dinosaur in the lobby. They don’t change the bed linen every day, an after housekeeping on my second day, the hotel slippers were taken away and not replaced, plus you need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. The location is very convenient, close to many restaurants and shopping streets, right opposite a 7-Eleven, and about a 10-minute walk to Shinsegae Duty Free, which is the meeting point for many guided tours booked online (GetYourGuide, Klook, KKDay, SeoulPass, Trip.com, etc.). The child-friendly/accessible room was a big plus. We could push the two small beds together with no side table in between, making it safer for our young child to sleep without worrying about falling.

This was a rather unpleasant trip. When I checked into my room, I found yellow stains on the bedding. I was too tired that night to bother with it. But the room temperature was consistently cold. At first, I thought it was just me. I had the air conditioning on since I got back to the room, set to 30 degrees Celsius, but the room felt drafty all night. I didn't pay much attention, just hoping it would eventually warm up. However, I woke up freezing at 4 AM. My feet, even under the covers, were icy cold everywhere that wasn't already warm. I got up for a drink, and the water in the glass on the table was also ice cold – yes, truly ice cold. I had no choice but to go down to the front desk to ask for a room change, telling them, 'The lobby is warmer than my room.' The front desk staff moved me to another room and brought an electric heater. But this room was right next to the road. I won't even go into the noise, as it was already 4:30 AM, and I didn't want to go back down to complain again. I put on my headphones, endured it, and managed a few hours of sleep. This room, even without the electric heater, had a decent temperature. However, when I laid out the floor towel in the morning, I again found yellow stains on it. I don't know what's going on with the laundry at this hotel. I stayed for two nights in total, and one entire night was spent dealing with these issues. The next day, I had to go buy a pair of earplugs. I won't be staying here again.

The front desk service attitude was decent, but it took a very, very long time. This was because the room type I booked wasn't available. They immediately suggested switching us to a lower-priced room, which we didn't agree to. The staff then kept typing away on their computer or phone, communicating with someone, until we called Ctrip ourselves. Coincidentally, they then said a room was available, claiming someone had canceled their reservation. This whole ordeal caused us to miss out on eating at the restaurant we wanted to go to that night. Plus, the shower in the room leaked severely, all the way to under the sink, making it very inconvenient to get ready.

Facilities: I felt very safe. You need a password to reach your room's floor before taking the subway. It's self-check-in, and the staff all speak Chinese and are very nice. Cleanliness: Pretty good. Environment: Perhaps because I requested a quiet location in advance, my room was in a good spot. For food, you can turn left and go up the hill, and they all speak Chinese. Since I was alone, I chose soup and rice. Turn left out the door, cross the zebra crossing, and go straight to subway exit 6. I think it's the closest exit. The staff are all very friendly and gentle, and they speak Chinese very well. I might choose to stay here again next time.

The Sky Room's layout made the room feel a bit small, and I couldn't see N Seoul Tower from the window. I think a double room would have made it easier to unpack my luggage. The location, however, is very convenient. It's about a five-minute walk from Euljiro 3-ga Station (Line 2), Exit 12, and about a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong. There's also a convenience store right in the hotel lobby, which is super handy, especially in the middle of winter when you don't want to go outside.

Before booking, I heard it was small, but I found it to be decent. It was just about right for my friend and me. The bed was also really comfortable; maybe we were just super tired, haha. It has a bidet toilet (not sure what else to call it), which I found awesome! It's self-heating! And the mirror is huge, big enough for two people to do their makeup at the same time without fighting. As for the location, it's at the intersection of Gongdeok and Mapo stations. You can find a whole street of pig's trotters near one of the Gongdeok exits (forgot which one). I also heard there's a food street behind the hotel, but my friend and I were too tired to check it out. There's an Olive Young right across the street, which is super convenient for shopping. Getting to various places by subway is also pretty easy! The airport shuttle drops you off right at the hotel, and to get back to the airport, the bus stop is directly in front of McDonald's. All in all, I'd say the location is very convenient! The front desk staff speaks English, and one older gentleman even speaks Chinese, so communication is generally smooth. They don't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste, but you can buy them in the lobby. And! The hotel's toiletries are excellent! Maybe it's also because of the local water quality. I forgot to ask what brand they were, but my hair felt so soft after washing! Definitely recommend!

The security guard at the entrance warmly greeted us and helped with our luggage. Check-in is on the 8th floor, which felt quite grand, and the staff were very attentive. Last but not least, the **hotel facilities are top-notch**. The decor is a charming European vintage style. Our room was clean and well soundproofed. The double room came fully equipped with both a bathtub and shower, an electric bidet toilet, a coffee machine, and a mini-fridge. A quick heads-up: the hotel **doesn't provide any toiletries**, so you'll definitely need to bring your own!

I am glad to stay at this hotel during my 5-day stay in Seoul. The location is good, walkable to Dongdaemum wholesale market and shopping plazas. If you plan to or want mid-night shopping, this is a good location. Facilities are good, 24-hr complimentary coffee and tea is available at the lobby floor. Staffs are helpful and speaks good English. Room is a bit tiny but still good enough to open up 2 suitcases. Room and facilities are clean. Just the housekeeping lady forgot to give me the bottle water until the last day; however, drinking water machine is available in the corridor as well. Bascially I am very satisfied with my stay. Going to Incheon airport is convenient too, airport bus stop is just outside the hotel, less than 1 min walking. Just allow extra time for the traffic within the city, but at least better than taking airport train with the luggages. I will recommend this to friends, and if I will stay here again for next travel.

Staff at reception and housekeeping were friendly and helpful, in particular this lady called June. Room was spacious enough to open up two big luggages and still have room to walk. TV channel options were plentiful, and the bed was comfortable. Location was superb, with the entrance to exit 12 of Euljiro sam ga station just right in front of the station, a short 10 min walk to the main myeongdong shopping area, and the airport limousine bus stop just less than a 5 min walk away. Bakeries, convenience stores and cafes are also in the vicinity. Unfortunately, our bathroom had a drain fly infestation with flies on the ceiling, on the shower walls, and some which made their way to the bedroom. The TV remote control wasn’t working well despite a change of batteries, which could mean that the remote control itself was faulty itself - we had difficulties using the arrow buttons to search on YouTube. Elevators could take up to 10-15 mins to arrive during peak morning hours, and you may not get to board even when it does as it will signal a weight capacity issue and will not close the door unless you come out - this is especially so when there’s passengers with luggages. Room 1701 btw. Nonetheless, the pros outweigh the cons and I would choose to stay here again.

The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Exit 1 of Changhanpyeong Subway Station. If you have luggage, you can take the escalator up instead of climbing stairs. There's a CU convenience store right next to the hotel, and a 7-Eleven across the street, which is very handy. The downside is that the hot water for showering only lasts about 30 minutes. If a second person showers, it starts getting cold towards the end. Also, the hotel's cleaning staff leave after 4 PM, so when I checked in, I noticed one of the beds was a bit dirty, and I had to wait for the front desk staff to be available to help change it.
