Lotte Hotel Seoul

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|1.93km from Changgyeonggung Palace
The hotel was clean and organized. The front desk was helpful and their were ladies that helped us to deliver our suitcases. I am not sure what their titles were but I just found that it was rather odd since most hotels in North America hired young men to do this. Kudos to the hotel for not type casting roles. The location was very good. The downstairs food court and restaurant was very tasty and clean. I would definitely go back to this hotel if I am ever in Korea again.

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|1.93km from Changgyeonggung Palace
I have had the pleasure of staying at many different four seasons locations, however Four Seasons Seoul was and is by far my favorite. I flew in from the US and requested a car to pick me up at the airport in Seoul and staff was waiting for me outside when I arrived. They pre checked me in since I was traveling internationally and had arranged for me to go directly to the room. The staff was thoughtful and continued to add personal touches the entire stay. The majority of the staff is multi lingual and helped to helped to arrange transportation and exterior details of my activities and appointments. They genuinely went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and extraordinary. Cannot wait to come back!
Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower
4.6/537 Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|1.94km from Changgyeonggung Palace
Stayed at the Lotte Executive Tower just after the holidays, in a Premier Double Room. Pros: - The entrance of the Executive Tower is absolutely beautiful. Same with the Main Tower. Elegant, refined, beautiful art work. The executive tower check-in desks are on the 15th floor. - Easy access by escalator directly into the Lotte Department Store (from where the escalator takes you to, hang a right to get to the famous food hall!) - Location can’t be beat. Directly across from Eujiro Station (1) and around the corner from Myeong-Dong Walking Street / Night Market and several 7-11s (which are almost as good as the 7-11s in Japan). - Our room was beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Very modern touches and upscale finishes. A chandelier in the bathroom?? - Immaculate housekeeping. - Excellent temperature and very strong water pressure in the shower! - Appreciate the 2 complimentary bottles of Evian every day. - Fast wifi speeds. Cons: - Love the Diptyque toiletries but wish they weren’t the communal / shared bottles. There were bits of dried lotion crusted on the pump from the previous occupant. - Weird that neither lobby had a single chair to sit on. What’s up with that? Comes off a bit inhospitable. This isn’t the type of place to attract non-guests / loiterers. A bench wouldn’t kill anyone! - For a 5* hotel and the price we’re paying, it’s disappointing that there is a surcharge should you need a toothbrush, toothpaste or use of the sauna (!!). They claim the charge for toothbrush and paste is to prevent wastage but surely you could just have these small items available upon request at the front desk? - The doormen’s manners range from formal and friendly (some) to indifferent (most) to downright hostile (many), especially if you are not a Korean speaker, as many don’t speak English. I’m not arrogant enough to think they should speak English in a non-English speaking country, but a smile is universal, you know? Would likely stay here again at the right price and given the location.

The location of the hotel is its main selling point. It is right where the action is. The employees are friendly, polite and very helpful. Service is premium. With the above, I would definitely recommend this place! My drawback is the breakfast offered. The choice and spread is very limited. It is better to go out and eat.

The hotel location is perfect and it is right infront of the lift exit 4 from DDP train station. It has airport bus stop right in front of the hotel to Incheon Airport. It may take 2 hours traveling time to airport because the bus will drop by many places around Seoul before heading to airport. The room is spacious and clean.

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun I

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|1.95km from Changgyeonggung Palace
It's a good hotel on a budget. Has a very homely breakfast and water dispenser to fill up your bottles with ice and water. Also has robes to use as pyjamas. Very no frills. Don't expect service from the staff. We expected to be able to check in earlier when we reached if the room was available. We reached only about 15mins to our check in time but were told to wait at the lobby till 1600. I am not sure what the fixation is about for the check in time. If the room is available, then let the guest have it. First time we have experienced this in any country.

Summit Hotel Dongdaemun

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|2.1km from Changgyeonggung Palace
Service was inconsistent - sometimes the staff were really nice and friendly and other times they were plain rude and disrespectful to you. When I first entered my room the smell took me aback. It smelled like a mix of sweat and wet socks. The sheets were crumpled and weren’t super clean either. The bathtub had yellow stains which threw me off as I was looking forward to a midnight soak. Basic amenities were given, which was great. The housekeeping ladies were really sweet as well. It’s a 5 minute walking distance to the train station so location was not so bad. Sadly I don’t think I’d book again as it was not that worth for the price.

I came up to Seoul to meet my friends, and there were so many people that I was scared of the corona virus, but fortunately there are no Chinese. I stayed in a double room, but the location is also in the center of Seoul, so it is easy to move around and close to Jongno 3 and Anguk Station. I had a few days, but I can boil ramen and the boss is so kind ~~ I will come again next time :)

Mayplace Hotel

University Road area Seoul|0.44km from Changgyeonggung Palace
It's a difficult location to find. It might be easier to find it if you look for the Hyundai Headquarters or the Orakai Hotel across the street. There are several subway stations in the area, but they are all within a 15-minute walk. There is no bus stop nearby and there are various courses, so you need to do some research. There are three convenience stores within a four-minute walk. The front desk was nice, but the room was small and I didn't know if I had upgraded to a superior type room. It is a room that has been elaborated.
Orakai Daehakro Hotel
4.3/5111 Reviews

Orakai Daehakro Hotel

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.48km from Changgyeonggung Palace
The hotel staff are polite and can communicate in simple English. The room is nice, with two tables, one high and one low, which is very convenient for placing items. But one thing to note is that there is no toothpaste or toothbrush provided. The disadvantage is that the location is too far from the Metro, so we have to live there. In addition, although the fitness room is large enough and well-equipped, there is also a Coin Laundry on the same floor, which is a pity. . . Both close at 22:00! For tourists traveling, it is too early to close! In addition, there were no towels provided in the fitness room. After asking the staff, they actually said that I had to bring my own towel. . . I would never choose to stay in this hotel again.
Hostel Korea - Changdeokgung
4.2/52 Reviews

Hostel Korea - Changdeokgung

Jongro / Insadong Seoul|0.5km from Changgyeonggung Palace
Geographic location: First of all, the geographical location is very good. It is near the Jingdegong Zhonglu District, with fewer tourists, and the neighborhood is more antique and artistic. Take a taxi from Myeongdong to 5700, and it will be convenient to go to four stations on the subway. Service: The front desk starts at 8 o'clock. We arrived at the door before 8 o'clock and waited to open the door. As a result, we entered the lobby at 8 o'clock and waited until 10 o'clock. It took us two hours to wait and wait here (I will wait because there is a cleaner calling the front desk, I thought I would return after a while, wait until 10 o'clock), really bad reviews among the bad reviews, As a result, we could only leave with luggage and were tired. Although I went back and found that the front desk was full of handsome guys, the handsome and gentle guy who was on duty at night was really terrible. Hygiene: Separate toilet, but the toilet board is stained with naked eyes, the bedding is also slightly yellow with naked eyes, and the floor windowsill is quite clean. But the trash can is small and won't help you change it every day, anyway. Room size: The twin room is a large bed and a small bed. Two aisles can be opened in the aisle. It is no problem. It is larger than expected and the bathroom is large. Good. Breakfast: Oatmeal, cubes, eggs, milk, juice, coffee, strawberry jam are provided. There is a bread machine to bake it. The eggs are baked eggs. I personally like them. Strawberry jam is also good. Free breakfast is fine. To sum up, it is not bad if the impression is not too bad the first morning, after all, it is quite good, after all, the price is very high, and the location is very good.

Coups Hotel

Jongro / Insadong Seoul|0.51km from Changgyeonggung Palace
The hotel is 5 ~ 7 minutes away from Exit 4 of Anguk Station, or walk from Exit 7 of Jongno 3rd Street. It will be more than 100 meters. There is an airport bus nearby within 5 minutes on foot. To Lotte, New World, all Tower Duty Free walks around 20 ~ 30 minutes. Hygiene is general, room space is enough to put down two 20-inch suitcases, no breakfast, I was told that the quilt was thin and made up, but I saw it today, it seems that it is like bed linen, etc. If I give a twin room Cover the next bed as well. The boss is okay, there is an elevator, it is not biased, 50 meters away is the road. The overall cost performance is not high, so I will live here again if I have no choice. A lot of drinks

The hotel’s staff is very friendly, responsible, and helpful, we had a problem with the room and they solved it right away. The gym is really large and is equipped with lots of machines; there is even a separate room for yoga and stretching. The hotel is located next to the City Hall subway and the Deoksugung Palace; there are many places to eat nearby. It’s a fine place to stay while you are in Seoul.

Hostel Tommy

Hostel Tommy

Jongro / Insadong
I stayed at Hostel Tommy for 3 weeks. At first, my plan was to spend each week at a different place whether it was a hostel, hotel or AirB&B. However, after my first week at Hostel Tommy, there was no need for me to go anywhere else. I give Hostel Tommy 5 starts for the following reason: 1) proximity to everything. Any subway or bus that you need to go anywhere is within a 5-10 minute walking distance. I never took a taxi anywhere; and believe me, I went all over Seoul. 2) Convenience: there's a 24-hour 7-Eleven literally right next door, so anything that I needed (snacks) was just next door. 3) Lodging: the room are spacious, super clean, the beds are comfortable. The common areas were also clean and inviting. 4)Reception: Tommy and his staff are the BEST. They will help you with anything you need. I had a great time in Seoul because I never had to worry about anything regarding my stay. From now on, I will ALWAYS stay at Hostel Tommy every time I visit Seoul.

Insadong is a lively district, and the hotel is located in the heart of it. The building itself is a bit old and worn out, but everything is well maintained and the bathroom is clean and retrofuturistic. Breakfast buffet is good for Korean standards: you have a salad buffet, couple types of rice, meat items. Not much there for vegetarians and no cheese, but for Korea this is a very agreeable breakfast. In short - it’s a safe option in terms of cost efficiency, but if you book in advance you might find better options around.

There is no breakfast, but there are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby. No parking. The service is very good, you can communicate in English, and also help to ask for a takeaway. Next time I have the opportunity to settle the room here!
