4-Star Hotels in Seoul

Right on the doorstep of the pedestrian street, with all sorts of delicious food and fun activities. Shopping is incredibly convenient, with a three-story Olive building and various gourmet delights. There are also temporary performances on the pedestrian street, and the nightlife is vibrant and colorful. Plus, they even have self-service washing machines, which is a great bonus.

Located in the bustling Myeongdong area, but you'll have to walk a few hundred meters to catch a taxi. Other than that, everything was pretty good. The outlets support Korean, Japanese, and Chinese plugs, so charging laptops and phones was no problem. The hotel has a more Japanese feel. For business trips, I still have to bring a converter since the company only uses Korean outlets.

Great location. Easy walking distance to several train stations and airport bus stop. Just a few minutes away from famous cafes and bakeries such as Artist Bakery and Onion Cafe. Hotel is located at a mall with many restaurants and a small Olive Young. Just a few minutes away from the bigger Anguk flagship Olive Young. Also walking distance to hanbok village with many nice boutiques and shops. Room is decent sized and clean too. WOWPASS machine at the lobby which is convenient for money exchange and top up. Overall a great hotel that I’d be happy to stay here again.

Choosing this hotel for the last leg of our Seoul trip was absolutely the smartest decision. Its location is truly unbeatable, situated right inside an anime mall, in the heart of the Hongdae commercial district, and just steps from a subway exit – making it convenient to get anywhere. The facilities are comprehensive, the space design is very stylish, and it's incredibly comfortable. Of course, the room isn't huge, but that's quite reasonable for Seoul. The breakfast was just okay, mainly because there were too many people, causing a dip in quality. This hotel is perfect for those who love exploring the Hongdae area and independent travelers.

This hotel in Myeongdong is super convenient for exploring nearby attractions like Myeongdong, Cheonggyecheon Stream, and the palaces – you can just walk everywhere. The room fit three small beds nicely and had a Japanese-style feel, plus a bathtub. While the room was a bit small, it was well-equipped. The soundproofing wasn't great, though, as I could hear noisy kids from the next room at night. The breakfast was excellent, delicious and plentiful. The 11th-floor lobby had plenty of luggage lockers, which was very handy. After staying at a few hotels in Korea, I've noticed that if check-in is 3 PM, it's strictly 3 PM. I arrived at 2:50 PM, and the front desk staff told me I'd need to sign up for a membership card to check in an hour early. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so here are some pictures of the surrounding attractions instead.

The airport transfer is super convenient; the breakfast area is lovely and the food is delicious. There are plenty of shopping and dining options nearby! The subway station isn't far, and Cheonggyecheon Stream is within walking distance. This will be my first choice for accommodation in Seoul next time!

This hotel is beautiful. It was very clean and quiet outside, but closest to everything without being chaotic. It was so so clean and the room was big. The washer in the room is so convenient. It’s a little much to drag your luggage from check in to building B, but it’s still worth it. I’d definitely stay here again.

It’s pretty average and quite dusty but convenient enough. The room is well decorated and very smart. Location is closed to SUBWAY and buses. Its a air b&b so service is not there. I bought them many things in the room too haha very good luck for the next customers.

This hotel was perfectly located for exploring Seoul. On my first evening, even though I arrived a few hours later than planned, I was still able to enjoy an evening walk at Changgyeonggung Palace, followed by dinner at Gwangjang Market, a stroll along Cheonggyecheon Stream, and a walk back to the hotel via the charming street of cafés and bars beside the walls of Jongmyo Shrine. Public transportation was very convenient, with several bus stops within a block or two of the hotel, and there were multiple convenience stores and restaurants nearby as well. Despite being so centrally located, the area did not feel crowded, noisy, or especially touristy. It is also close to SNUH, which may be a plus for some travelers. My favorite part of the stay was the view of Changgyeonggung Palace from my room. The room was comfortable and perfectly adequate, though not especially fancy. My main complaints were that the bedside plug was awkwardly hidden behind the mattress, and that the toilet did not have a bidet, which was particularly inconvenient given that toilet paper cannot be flushed.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel during my trip to Seoul. The hotel was nice and clean, and the check-in process was fast and smooth, which made arrival stress-free. Although the room was a bit small, it was still comfortable enough for 3 people. One of the highlights is the location, there are plenty of food stalls around the hotel, offering authentic local bites without the overwhelming crowds you’d find in Myeongdong. Personally, I found this area much more enjoyable and relaxing. The metro station is just a 3-minute walk away, making it very convenient to explore the city. Travel Tip: From the airport, take the train to Seoul Station (either normal or express), then transfer to the blue line to Chungmuro Station. If you’re carrying luggage, Exit 5 is the best choice since it has an escalator — just walk toward Starbucks. Otherwise, Exit 7 is a quicker option. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient, and well-located stay in Seoul.
