"Very easy checkin and checkout in the centre of a great location in Jongno - accessible to great public transport, restaurants and places to see and visit. I highly recommend this place for its location. Our room was a good size for 5 night stay. Unfortunately we were only given hand towels for most of our stay for showers and bath mats - which we could get more of if we needed to. We got bath towels for 2 of our 5 nights but didn’t know why we didn’t get these the whole stay"

"We had a generally pleasant stay at Onjae Suites. The suite was spacious, and the beds, pillows, and linens were comfortable. Although there is no front desk, the staff were responsive and communicated promptly through messaging. However, the messages were in Korean, so we had to copy and paste them into a translation app to understand the instructions and responses. Providing messages in English for international guests would make communication more convenient. Our biggest concern was the...

"The is an entirely selve serve micro hotel. There is no staff. If you cannot figure out the check in system you are not getting a room. The room I got was smaller than the picture shown. It was literally the smallest room that could fit a bed. The was no floor left to open my suitecase. It was like living in one of those tile puzzles with 15 tiles in 16 spaces. There was no shower separate from the sink toilet area. You just hosed yourself off in front of the sink and toilet. Don’t get the...

Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Clean and spacious rooms."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super friendly and really helpful. Our room was nice and roomy, and the location is fantastic—that’s why we returned after staying here last year. We ran into a few hiccups at first, but the hotel was so accommodating and even offered us an upgrade. Since we were checking out soon, we stayed put, and our room was cleaned every day while the issues were fixed. We’d definitely come back!"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

8/10 Good

"The hotel location was very convenient. It was clean, pretty well maintained. The staff were very helpful and were always available. The breakfast was very basic. The room and bathroom was very tiny. If you have luggage make sure you don’t pick the single room with bunk beds. Overall it was a pleasant stay."
