Grand Hyatt Seoul
Staying at Grand Hyatt Seoul was a wonderful experience overall. While the room was on the smaller side, it was exceptionally clean and well-maintained—every detail felt thoughtfully done. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making check-in and daily interactions a breeze. The hotel was busy during my visit, but the atmosphere remained calm and luxurious. I booked a session at the tennis courts, which were spacious and beautifully kept, with professional coaches available for lessons—perfect for both beginners and experienced players. I also enjoyed the afternoon tea spread, which offered a great selection of treats and drinks in a serene setting. Everything about this stay exceeded expectations, and I’d definitely return without hesitation.
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.
JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul
Staying at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right next to Cheonggyecheon Stream, with a peaceful walkway just steps from the hotel entrance. I easily reached Doota and Design Plaza on foot, making it perfect for shopping and exploring local creativity. The breakfast buffet was exceptional—huge variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious options from both Korean and international cuisines. I especially loved the made-to-order omelets and warm artisan bread. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout my stay, always going the extra mile. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable—the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Everything you’d expect from a luxury hotel: top-notch amenities, smart TV, premium bedding, and excellent soundproofing. It’s clear this hotel cares about guest comfort and experience. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel
The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel is an absolute gem with a fantastic value for money. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, offering all the essentials including wireless charging and complimentary slippers—small touches that make a big difference. I did notice that toothbrushes require a small donation at the front desk, which is a bit unusual but still reasonable as part of their eco-friendly initiative. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay—always smiling, helpful, and professional. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a 5-7 minute walk to the subway station, and walking out from exit 1 or 2 means you’re immediately in front of a convenience store—great for snacks or last-minute needs. Whether you're heading to Myeongdong, Gangnam, or Hanam-dong, everything is within easy reach. This hotel offers comfort, convenience, and excellent service—all in one. I’d definitely recommend it and will be returning.
Somerset Palace Seoul
The Somerset Palace Seoul completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the subway, making it easy to explore Seoul’s top attractions. The rooftop pool is a real highlight—perfect for relaxing with panoramic views of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, offering a comfortable and home-like atmosphere. It’s rare to find such a high-quality stay with such a great value. I’d highly recommend this property to any traveler visiting Seoul.
Orakai Insadong Suites
This was my third stay at Orakai Suites, and I’m still thoroughly impressed. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major tourist attractions, with plenty of great restaurants and supermarkets nearby. There’s even a 7-Eleven right across the street, making late-night snacks or essentials super convenient. The staff are consistently warm, friendly, and attentive, which really adds to the overall experience. Clean, well-maintained rooms, excellent service, and a perfect balance of comfort and convenience. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next trip to Seoul—it’s become my go-to choice for a stress-free, enjoyable stay.
Koreana Hotel
The location is excellent—right next to the airport shuttle stop, making travel to and from the airport super convenient. I was impressed with how easy it was to get around without needing a taxi or long transfers. That said, the hotel itself feels quite old and dated—no recent renovations visible in the rooms or common areas. I booked a king-size bed room, but was unexpectedly given a twin room instead, which the front desk claimed was an 'upgrade.' Honestly, that didn’t make much sense since I specifically requested a king bed. When I asked the staff, they mentioned the king rooms were fully booked. It’s a bit disappointing, especially when you’re relying on booking accuracy. Still, I only stayed one night, so I just went with it. If you're looking for something basic and budget-friendly with great access to transportation, this place works—just don’t expect modern comfort.
Hotel PJ Myeongdong
Staying at Hotel PJ Myeongdong was an absolute delight! The room was incredibly spacious—my daughter and I easily unpacked our two large suitcases without any hassle. With two 1.5-meter beds, we both slept soundly and woke up refreshed. The hotel is just a short walk from the subway station, making it super convenient to explore Seoul’s attractions, shopping areas, and local hotspots. Right around the corner is Jongro 3-dong, which comes alive at night with bustling street food stalls and lively atmosphere—perfect for dinner adventures. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed, from the clean, modern rooms to the excellent location. Highly recommend this gem if you're visiting Seoul!
Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Myeongdong
Staying at Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Myeongdong was an absolute breeze thanks to its unbeatable location. Just a 1-minute walk from Exit 12 of Euljiro 3-ga Station—no confusing routes or long walks. The hotel offers complimentary water dispensers and an ice machine, which came in super handy during our trip, especially when we needed fresh water or extra ice for drinks. The room was spacious enough to unpack both a 28-inch and a 24-inch suitcase without any hassle—perfect for longer stays or travelers with lots of gear. Elevators are plentiful (three in total) and move quickly, though there’s a slight wait during peak hours in the morning and evening—still totally manageable. On the ground floor, there’s a convenient CU convenience store right around the corner for late-night snacks or essentials. Second floor features ‘Sujeoljang,’ a well-known Jeju Island dining spot with a great vibe and tasty food. And yes, Starbucks is also on the first floor—ideal for starting your day with a good coffee. Everything’s within easy reach, the staff is friendly, and the overall experience felt premium yet affordable. If you’re visiting Seoul, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
Hotel President
Staying at Hotel President was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service—every interaction felt genuine and welcoming. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable, making it a perfect home base during our trip. I had arranged for my suitcase to be delivered directly from the airport, and the front desk took great care of it—securely holding onto my luggage even after checkout. This allowed me to explore Seoul freely without any burden, enjoying every moment up until the very last minute. The convenience and thoughtfulness were truly remarkable. I can't recommend this hotel enough—definitely planning to return!
ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong(Newly renovated in 2025)
This was our first trip to Seoul, and we stayed at ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong with my son from July 30th to August 5th. We arrived late—after 2:30 a.m.—but check-in was quick and smooth thanks to the 24-hour front desk. Our room was on the 10th floor, compact but well-designed with two beds, a tea station, and all the essentials: soap, shower gel, shampoo, and fresh towels. The room was spotless, quiet, and cozy—the bedding felt brand new and super comfortable. The hotel itself is immaculate, peaceful, and very clean. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. What really stood out was the location—walking distance to major landmarks like Gyeongbokgung Palace, plus tons of restaurants, food courts, and shops nearby. Even though we spent most of our days out exploring, coming back to this hotel felt like a relaxing retreat. It’s perfectly priced for the quality, and I’d definitely recommend it. If you're visiting Seoul, don’t hesitate—this is a great choice.
Pacific Hotel
The Pacific Hotel is perfectly located—right next to a convenience store, a great barbecue restaurant, and just steps from the subway entrance. Walking a few minutes behind the hotel leads you straight into the famous comic street, with stunning views of Seoul Tower in the distance. Cross the street, and you're in the heart of Myeongdong Night Market, where shopping and dining are both fantastic. I did book a bit late, so the price was a little higher than expected, but honestly, it was worth every penny. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with excellent service throughout. The location alone makes this hotel a top choice for any visitor to Seoul. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
