Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

While the hotel is a bit outside the city center, it offers significantly better value compared to other options in downtown Seoul. The nearby subway station makes getting around easy—just hop on the train to explore major attractions. Alternatively, using a local ride-hailing app (available for download) lets you book a car in advance or request one instantly, which was especially helpful for our family of six. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance offering all kinds of authentic Korean food—just take a stroll and you’ll find something delicious. The front desk staff speak English and are genuinely warm and attentive. We booked two rooms: one king bedroom and one twin room with a queen-sized bed and a single bed, perfect for three people. The room had a lovely balcony, ample space, clean interiors, and water temperature that was just right. I particularly loved the shampoo and conditioner—they left my hair incredibly soft and smooth. I’d love to know the brand! Breakfast was modest in variety but tasty overall. All in all, this stay was highly satisfying, and I’d definitely return.

Vista Walkerhill Seoul - Formerly W Seoul

Staying at Vista Walkerhill Seoul was an absolute highlight of my trip to Seoul. The room was spotless, bright, and spacious—right from the start, I headed up to the 4th-floor viewing deck, and wow, the night views of the Han River were breathtaking. The city lights shimmering across the water made for a truly unforgettable experience. Compared to other riverside rooms in Seoul, this place offers incredible value for money. It’s not just about the view—it’s also super convenient with great access via subway. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stunning river view without breaking the bank. Definitely planning to come back.
