Best hotels & accommodations in Seoul

After more than 20 years of marriages , we decided to leave the kids behind in Australia and go for our second honeymoon in Korea. It was my first trip to Korea and I had booked Hotel Gracery Seoul.

After more than 20 years of marriages , we decided to leave the kids behind in Australia and go for our second honeymoon in Korea. It was my first trip to Korea and I had booked Hotel Gracery Seoul. The hotel blew our mind when we first step in. The reception was on the 11th floor. The hotel was so clean , room was so neat and tidy. The staff were excellent, very accommodating. We stayed for 2 nights before flying off to Jeju. After that , we had to stay back at this excellent hotel again. I hope to return in the near future to this wonderful hotel with the whole family. Thank you Hotel Gracery Seoul for the wonderful memories.

I've visited Seoul a few times for business and after I found Shilla Stay, I always choose to stay here. I can't say this place(Guro) is good for transportation and travel, but at least it's not bad to approach many famous places in Seoul. Hotel is very close to the station(Line 2) and many good place to visit is on the Line2. (Shin chon, Myung dong, Hongdae, GangNam,...

I can't say this place(Guro) is good for transportation and travel, but at least it's not bad to approach many famous places in Seoul. Hotel is very close to the station(Line 2) and many good place to visit is on the Line2. (Shin chon, Myung dong, Hongdae, GangNam, ...) And if you like bread and want to visit famous korean bakery, you need to check [Days and Days] (데이즈 앤 데이즈 in Korean). There's a few place called Mecca of Bread and this place is one of them. Unfortunately, this place is not on the google map, but you can find it on Naver Map Application(this is also good to find other famous restaurants in Korea)

Location was 2/3 mins walk from Euljiro 1 Ga station which is on the green line (a lot of places are on the green line; ideal station to stay I feel!) and then it was 7-10 mins walk to myeong Dong which didn’t feel fat because of the shops you get to walk pass. Also, it’s abt 7-10 mins to eujilro—Ga also where there’s an interchange with another line. The hotel surroun...

Also, it’s abt 7-10 mins to eujilro—Ga also where there’s an interchange with another line. The hotel surroundings are also filled with food stores and kbbq shops. The staff were also very friendly and could speak English significantly well! The only thing is the room is really really small. Although it was a room of 3, the walking space in the room could only allow 1 person at the time. Which I kinda concluded most of the Seoul hotels are small, so it’s fine and value for money I guess. Cleanliness wise, the hotel was very clean!! Overall I had a good stay and will definitely come back again. Thank you!!

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong is the best hotel in Seoul because it's a new hotel with good room rate. Free in-room wifi. $10 (each trip)Limo bus #6015 to & from Incheon International airport. Do not forget to inform the 6015 bus driver to drop you in front of KEB(Korean Exchange Bank)Myeongdong, where the hotel is just located behind this building. Hotel Lotte is j...
Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong is the best hotel in Seoul because it's a new hotel with good room rate. Free in-room wifi. $10 (each trip)Limo bus #6015 to & from Incheon International airport. Do not forget to inform the 6015 bus driver to drop you in front of KEB(Korean Exchange Bank)Myeongdong, where the hotel is just located behind this building. Hotel Lotte is just situated cross the street and Myeongdong shopping is just in front of this hotel. Hotel provides maps and customer service could speak good English. Lots of good Korean Restaurants just in front of the hotel or within walking distance. Most of the scenic spots could be reached by underground train and the station entrance is in front of the hotel too. Do not forget to stay in this hotel when you travel in Seoul.

We split our stay in Seoul into 2 locations: Myeongdong and Gangnam. I picked Dormy Inn Seoul Gangnam because of the free breakfast, free ramen, self-serve laundry facilities and convenient locations to where we would be visiting during our stay in Gangnam.

We split our stay in Seoul into 2 locations: Myeongdong and Gangnam. I picked Dormy Inn Seoul Gangnam because of the free breakfast, free ramen, self-serve laundry facilities and convenient locations to where we would be visiting during our stay in Gangnam. We were really satisfied with the widespread breakfast. Food was delicious and plentiful with changes in variety. We found that by eating a big breakfast and the free ramen, we were able to save money on meals by buying one large meal a day at lunch plus snacks of course. Who can resist Korean street food and snacks! We did not try the onsen but we saw people using it when doing our laundry. Love the self-serve laundry! We had a 23-day trip visiting South Korea and Hong Kong. Packing less clothing and doing laundry during the trip saved luggage for souvenirs. Washing is free and a small fee of 2000 won for drying. The machine has specific settings for delicate clothing items. Despite small room size, we highly recommend this hotel!

Losir is actually a famous hotel in Seoul , specially their gd location in Myeongdong. Less then a min to Sunway station , which is just right upper the train station(Myeongdong) exit number 6 , 2-3min to airport transport station .

We booked this hotel because it was meters away from Garosugil and we didnt regret it. The rooms were small conpared to other hotels we stayed in Seoul but its design is functional.

The lotte Seoul hotel s one of the best location hotel in Seoul. You can walk to the main tourist points for example meindong ,numdaemun market ,chonggyechon,the palace.

I think anyone who love shopping d love this hotel for sure. The hotel s next to lotte shopping department store and just cross the street for meindong shopping area. Other thing I like this hotel s so clean and good service.

We stayed at this hotel in January, which is a very cold month in Seoul. We chose this hotel as it is just above the Mapo Station and only a few steps from the exit no. 9. Also, we went to emart via exit no. 4 for shopping before we left for airport. You can also get tax refunds on non-perishable items at emart. Coffee shops, fried chicken stalls and eating places...

Also, we went to emart via exit no. 4 for shopping before we left for airport. You can also get tax refunds on non-perishable items at emart. Coffee shops, fried chicken stalls and eating places (even Korean beef) are just opposite the road. The interior design of the room is modern with shelves, storage, hangers and beds are all very handy with a feeling of your own house. This is the best hotel I have stayed after years of travel in Korea.

TMark Grand Hotel is the best hotel to stay in Seoul! Guaranteed! Lots of facilities, staffs were so helpful and friendly!

Upon arrival I was so impressed how they upgraded our room to family room that it got more spacious! Breakfast was also nice. Location is excellent especially for shoppers as the hotel is just opposite the Namdaemun Market and 10-15mins walk to Myeongdong Shopping Center. Subway is just beside the hotel. It so convenient to travel. There is Plenty of nearby awesome restaurants as well so you won't get hungry. I love how Koreans are genuinely and naturally kind hearted people. I would definitely come back to this hotel in Seoul again next time! Thanks a lot TMark Grand Hotel! You deserve a fantastic review! Cheers!

I stayed at the St. Regis in Bangkok a few weeks before staying at L7 in Seoul. Let's just say I wish my stay at the St. Regis had been as nice as my stay at L7.

I stayed at the St. Regis in Bangkok a few weeks before staying at L7 in Seoul. Let's just say I wish my stay at the St. Regis had been as nice as my stay at L7. The hotel is modern and sleek without trying too hard. The staff was kind and accommodating. The room clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The rooftop terrace lounge hit all points one should. This will be my "go to" hotel in Seoul and I hope to find other properties from this brand. I can't say enough nice things about it and I think that should mean something b/c I didn't have any special request or need - it was purely an easy stay in a solid hotel that totally met my expectations. (And while you may want a hotel to exceed your expectations, the St. Regis in Bangkok set a new bar for me in that I simply want a hotel to meet my expectations.) I will stay at this hotel again, won't even look elsewhere.

We stayed here for 5 days. The best of all is the hotel allow us to early check in at about 8am after mid-night flight and the kids are really tired at the time arrival hotel. We have checked their early check-in policy which allows if rooms available but with charge before 9am. However, at time of check-in, the hotel staff is so kind to tell us that they can arrange ...
We stayed here for 5 days. The best of all is the hotel allow us to early check in at about 8am after mid-night flight and the kids are really tired at the time arrival hotel. We have checked their early check-in policy which allows if rooms available but with charge before 9am. However, at time of check-in, the hotel staff is so kind to tell us that they can arrange early check in for free if we enroll the hotel membership. We are so lucky that they have room available at that time and I believe it is special arrangement for comforting their guest. We treasured much the hospitality showed by the hotel. Also, the hotel room is big enough with enough space for luggage and to walk around. The location is very convenient near the attractions of the Hongdae and only 5 minutes walk to the metro. There is a VR game center on that building which the kids enjoy very much. All in all, it is a very recommendable hotel in Seoul which I believe we would like to stay again.

This is a new hotel recommended by my friend It was our wedding anniversary trip to Korea , the hotel has kindly upgraded us to a suite with the view of Seoul Tower and even wrote a congratulatory note with chocolates. This is very thoughtful The reception staff are very helpful and friendly, they can converse in English very well. The facilities of the hotel are really very thoughtful, there is lounge on the top floor to see nice view of seoul, with free coffee and water. Every floor there is ice maker machine and ironing facilities. The room I stayed are very clean and spacious (space is problem in most seoul hotel) so we choose this place due to its room spaciousness. The walk to myeongdong is about 15mins (not too far) which is perfect to be away from the noise yet convenient. The stay was perfect, i will definitely choose this place again when i go back to seoul!

We travelled in the countryside for several days before staying one night at the legendary The Shilla hotel in Seoul as a final night in Korea, a little treat for ourselves. It did not disappoint and we were pleasantly surprised with the views to Namsan and over the city with the sense of space and beauty. The rooms were elegantly understated but dripped of quality and great thoughtmanship with design and utility. The room was spacious and the window stood out as a piece of moving art with neat thick black borders enhancing the views. We enjoyed the luxurious bath, shower and clever toilet. What turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience, I hope will now mean several more experience in the near future. My tip is to go sightseeing around the markets, but check out the Shilla duty free first as you might want to make your actual purchases onsite. Also, depending on your room rate, access to the swimming pool may not be included (the Swimming pool is awesome throughout the year)

Very recommended hotel in Seoul. Moderate price with good value, located in city central, near subway (City Hall Station) and shopping area (Numdaemun) within walking distance. There are lot of restaurants around serving western, Japanese, Thai and Korean food. Though the personals can't speak good English, most of restaurants have menu in English upon request. Rooms a...
Very recommended hotel in Seoul. Moderate price with good value, located in city central, near subway (City Hall Station) and shopping area (Numdaemun) within walking distance. There are lot of restaurants around serving western, Japanese, Thai and Korean food. Though the personals can't speak good English, most of restaurants have menu in English upon request. Rooms and other facilities are clean. Only little hold backs are some rooms have views of adjacent nearby building and located on small road which is unknown by many taxi drivers. For the later points, print out hotel map with street names in Korean will ease the searching. Overall, great hotel for business and leisure travellers. Sure to have repeated stay here if come to Seoul.

I was in Seoul with my mum and we absolutely loved our stay at Nine Tree. We had previously spent two nights at the five star Lotte World Hotel in Gangnam because we were part of a tour group and had moved to Nine Tree after extending our trip to be closer to the shopping district.

I was in Seoul with my mum and we absolutely loved our stay at Nine Tree. We had previously spent two nights at the five star Lotte World Hotel in Gangnam because we were part of a tour group and had moved to Nine Tree after extending our trip to be closer to the shopping district. Less than a minute walk away from exit 8 of Myeongdong subway station and three minutes away from Sejong hotel (where you can take the airport bus to Gimpo and Incheon), it was really easy to locate. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and check-in took less than 10 mins. And even though it didn't seem like much from outside the hotel, I was immediately taken by surprise when I opened the door to my room. You can tell that that Nine Tree is a relatively new hotel, and while the concierge area was small, the modest 27 sqm family twin room that we booked was in fact pretty spacious (I booked it because of what I heard about hotels in Seoul—that they were cramped and small with not a lot of space for big luggages). Not only did the room cost around the same price compared to most standard twins of similar hotels in the surrounding areas, it far exceeded my expectations. There was a spacious area up the front with a bench cabinet where you could leave your large suitcase.The room was spanking clean with a direct view of Myeongdong (do remember to request for high floors if you like). The bed linens, bath robes and towels supplied were clinical. The hotel even provided a bottle of febreze for post-bbq freshness. As for the toilet, it looked as if it was newly installed and I could not find any traces of grime or dirt in or around the tub (I'm a stickler for clean toilets). And like Lotte, there was even a pillow menu from which you could pick out one you like for a good night's rest. All in all, Nine Tree is value for money, clean and a stone's throw away from all the shopping and good eats. What more can one ask for? Will definitely return

This is a great experience and definitely a merit in my first visit to Korea. Hotel location is just a street behind the Myeongdong main shopping area and along a main road, so you will not get disturbed by the noisy crowd, at the same time you will not be frightened by the quiet late-night street. Paris Baguette and a 7-11 is just a door access from the lobby. The Sta...
This is a great experience and definitely a merit in my first visit to Korea. Hotel location is just a street behind the Myeongdong main shopping area and along a main road, so you will not get disturbed by the noisy crowd, at the same time you will not be frightened by the quiet late-night street. Paris Baguette and a 7-11 is just a door access from the lobby. The Staffs are very friendly and approachable, when I request the front desk to assist me to call up a restaurant at N Seoul Tower to reserve a table for dinner, they did it immediately without a second word. The cleanliness in the hotel is also kept in a high standard, definitely comparable with a 5-star hotel. Room offered comes with a bathtub and bidet system. The room is well kept, toiletries and towels were replaced daily. This is no doubt my choice of hotel for my future visits to Seoul.

Its a great hotel to stay in, The locations is superb at that price. Chumuro station is a hop and a skip away. MyeongDong, namdaemun , kwanjang market all within walking distance! Only catch the Hotel, like most hotels in Seoul, during the colder sessions, the hotel normally controls the tempt at 25c. Hence even if we were to turn the aircon temp to 16c , its not goi...

Only catch the Hotel, like most hotels in Seoul, during the colder sessions, the hotel normally controls the tempt at 25c. Hence even if we were to turn the aircon temp to 16c , its not going to work! Your better off opening the windows!' I notice a number of foreigner all asking the front desk the same questions, why is the air conditioning so hot! Another tip, ask for rooms facing the front rather than the back! Food wise, there are many great restaurants around the area. All within minutes of walking, ranging from the famous bbq , stem pork leg, chicken soup (non ginseng), dumplings, and ETC!

The hotel is located in a good location though it is in a narrow path and not visible to the naked eye on the main road. The nearest subway (train) station is Domgyo station. From there its about 400m walk but the entire walk is on a narrow stretch and would be difficult to find it at first. 3 supermarkets are very nearby. The hotel should improve on the facilities off...
The hotel is located in a good location though it is in a narrow path and not visible to the naked eye on the main road. The nearest subway (train) station is Domgyo station. From there its about 400m walk but the entire walk is on a narrow stretch and would be difficult to find it at first. 3 supermarkets are very nearby. The hotel should improve on the facilities offered. The bath towels are very tiny and really unable to use for its purpose. They are just very small. Could be hardly used as a hand towel. There is only 1 lift available and it takes a long long waiting time. The rooms are small too but ve heard that is the case in all other hotels in Seoul. Overall it could improve a lot on all the smaller things it has failed to impress.

This is an excellent, modern style hotel with comfortable rooms located in the heart of Seoul. Hotel is well placed for the Metro and bus transfer from Incheon.

This is an excellent, modern style hotel with comfortable rooms located in the heart of Seoul. Hotel is well placed for the Metro and bus transfer from Incheon. Unfortunately during our brief sty in Seoul the entire family got sick and needed to see a doctor. The front desk were very helpful in helping us navigate the local medical system and also assisted in translating some medications. I cannot thank the staff enough for their help and support. It was a real pleasure staying here, and would be more than happy to return should I find myself in Seoul again.

I had a memorable Christmas 2018 holidays and of course, Hotel Skypark Myeongdong 1 is one of the reasons. It has been a while since I visited South Korea so I was really excited.

I had a memorable Christmas 2018 holidays and of course, Hotel Skypark Myeongdong 1 is one of the reasons. It has been a while since I visited South Korea so I was really excited. The hotel is in the heart of Myeongdong, the shopping heaven! Really, really good location I must stay! We arrived around 5:30 AM from the airport. Check-in time was 2:00 PM (from what I remember) and we didn’t booked a room for the day before since it was a waste of money and half of the day, we will not occupy it. We regreted it though since we were so tired and we just wanted to sleep first. There were no available rooms when we arrived since it was peak season so we stayed and sleep in the sofas of the reception. Receptionist was accomodating. In the end, someone checked out early and we were able to have a room— we just paid an extra. Their room is quite small though, which I believe is normal for hotels in Seoul. Facilities is good for a small hotel. Aside from that, they have a mini restaurant too near the reception. Not that fancy but its okay. There are nearby coffee shops for your breakfast anyway. My main problem in this hotel was their WiFi. The internet was really slow. I thought South Korea has one of the fastest internet in the world, not in this location though. Also, if you are going to take Airport Limousine or train from/to hotel, with all your heavy luggages, it will be a challenge since the tiles of Myeongdong is not flat. Expect also a lot of people since the area is crowded. :)

Pj Hotel is one of the best hotel in Seoul, it is very accessible to all (day and night) the staff of this hotel is very kind, surprisingly they know how to speak english fluently and aside from that they are also fluent in mandarin chinese and nihonggo which i know how to speak too...

I really love the view from their window =) i will still chose this hotel when i will have my trip to korea again =) more power to PJ HoTEl! See you again soon! And also thanks to agoda!

The hotel is hidden 2 blocks away from Grevin Museum (which locates opposite of Lotte Hotel Seoul). There are 3 ways to the hotel, from Cheonggyecheon Stream (from the back lane behind K-style hub), from Euljiro-1-ga Station (Exit 1), a short walk about 5 or 10 min and from the side lane off Grevin Museum. Decent hotel with basic facilities and amenities. Nothing ...
The hotel is hidden 2 blocks away from Grevin Museum (which locates opposite of Lotte Hotel Seoul). There are 3 ways to the hotel, from Cheonggyecheon Stream (from the back lane behind K-style hub), from Euljiro-1-ga Station (Exit 1), a short walk about 5 or 10 min and from the side lane off Grevin Museum. Decent hotel with basic facilities and amenities. Nothing to complaint for the price paid. The hotel is surrounded with alot of eateries and convenient stores. Finding foods never an issue. The only complaint I have was the "pillar" in the room (I booked the deluxe double) that blocked the walking space in the 24sqm room. Kind of weird. The hotel offers free shuttles to key business buildings and to shopping areas. For those who are heading to the airport, I would suggest to take the free shuttle from hotel to Seoul Station at 10am, 1230pm, 2pm, 3.30pm an 4.30pm (Weekdays) and 9.30am, 10.50am, 1pm, 4.20pm, 3.40pm and 7pm (Weekend). The journey is about 10 mins or less depending on traffic. Then head straight to AREX departure hall (Level B2) for the express train to the airport. The one-way AREX train ticket is 8,000KRW and the express train takes 43 min from Seoul to Incheon (every 30 min), 10 min walk to airport check-in counter at Incheon Airport). The airport limousine bus stop for 6701 (16,000KRW one way) is quite closed to the hotel, yet a distance for us to walk, especially with heavy luggages. The estimated travel journey is around 90 min, depending on traffic condition and also how full is the each limousine bus. If the bus load is full, you have to wait for another 20 to 25 min.

great stay !!! great hotel in seoul !!! great tips and we are stay many days in seoul . really we decided in the next trip to corea , come back to haytt hotel in seoul . near the city , great zone , great view, great amenities , great lounge , great parcking ... where ever you want , you have in this hotel ... really really a great hotel !!!

Look no others if u plan to stay in Seoul. Stayed in a 5 stars hotel in Myeong Dong for 4 days 3 night but couldnt beat ENA overall. Location wise very strategic, staff can speak fluent english, room size is excellent compare to price that you paid, cleanliness is 10/10, facilities is great and overall value for money.

Location wise very strategic, staff can speak fluent english, room size is excellent compare to price that you paid, cleanliness is 10/10, facilities is great and overall value for money. Nearby to Namdaemun Market, less than 1 km around 15 minutes. Don't shop at Myeong Dong as total ripoff. If u book from klook to Nami Island to travel by bus, the pickup point in at Sungnyemun Gate 5 minutes walk only. Eateries and 24 hours convenience store are less than 5 minutes walk and around the hotel area. Hotel even allowed early check in at 1 pm as long as you informed them earlier. Airport taxi is 80 000 krw from the hotel to Incheon, took around 50 minutes if he traffic is clear. Overall great experience with ENA Suite. Definitely my only choice if staying in Seoul. The room is big (Standard King), hot shower, heaters and a/c works like a charm.

New hotel. Friendly and professional staff. Nice view from rooms and roof top. Rooms are spacious and the bath tub is nice. A short walk to the fun area of Hongdae with cafes and markets on way.

Negatives: The toilet is not smart. Stayed at 4 hotels in Seoul and each hotel room had a toilet that flushed itself and kept the seat warm. Was a minor let down. Also, is non smoking in all rooms and rooftop. Major negative. Especially for the outdoor areas. I cannot comment on pool area as didn't visit due to the additional charge to use the pool (and too busy out shopping and exploring) but would be crazy if cannot smoke at pool either. Overall was one of my best stays in Seoul and would certainly stay again. The front desk was very welcoming and accommodating.

Nothing to complaint about, and I meant it seriously! :) And I am going to talk about what is so good about it: a) Airport bus 6015 is just 100m in front, less than 5mins walk, trust me, no big deal with luggages (and you don't need taxi) b) Clean, clean, clean and modern new hotel c) Living in Myeongdong shopping street - food, shop, everything.

Happening place. d) Subway exit 8 is nearest, to connect you to major places e) Size of room is above average size of Seoul hotels, and bathroom with everything you need Surely gonna recommend to friends, and will stay here in future.

This was the third time stay at Oriens for the past 2 years and I still feel I make the correct choice in choosing this hotel in Seoul. Although they have reconfigure the room for the one bedroom suite I booked, it was still a very comfortable stay for me . They have changed the one bedroom suite that come with a walk-in wardrobe to two bedroom suite, so actually the one bedroom suite is smaller now. The location of the hotel is between Myeongdong and chungmuro station. Quiet but walking distance to all the shopping area. Already booked my next stay in Seoul for next month. Enjoy my stay here with the friendly staff!

All the staff at Signiel was so kind than any other hotel, and the view from the highest building was very nice. Every place in Hotel was quite neat and clean, but it would be much better if they could have larger space. Room rate is pretty expensive when comparing with other hotels in Seoul, but it is quite worthy to experience this hotel if possible.

I frequently travel to South Korea and ave stayed at a variety of hotels. The Royal hotel is an excellent choice for staying in Seoul. It is located in the heart of Myeong-Dong, the city centre of Seoul. The hotel can easily be reached from the airport with Airport bus 6015 (10,000 KRW or 11 USD - exit at Eulji-ro ipgu).

I frequently travel to South Korea and ave stayed at a variety of hotels. The Royal hotel is an excellent choice for staying in Seoul. It is located in the heart of Myeong-Dong, the city centre of Seoul. The hotel can easily be reached from the airport with Airport bus 6015 (10,000 KRW or 11 USD - exit at Eulji-ro ipgu). The bus travel takes about 1 hr and tickets are available in the boots near the bus stops just outside the arrival teerminal. Staff speaks English and credit cards are accepted. Avoid bus 6001, which comes to Eulji-ro ipgu as well, but is more expensive and takes 30 minutes more. Traveling by airport limousine bus is by far the best way to get from the airport to hotels. The rooms in the hotel are small, but clean and fully equipped. I found the room comfortable and enjoyed my stay. There are two subway stations near on 2 different lines. It is easy to reach most part of the city quick. The level of English in Korea has increased since 6 years ago when I first traveled. Although Itaewon district is still to be considered the place where foreigners can easily find their way, I find that Myong-Dong has caught up and many Koreans can speak a bit English here too. Excellent hotel at reasonable price. Following western system of stars for hotels I'd say 3+ stars, close to 4-star hotel.

This is my 2nd time staying here and I went back again as this is the best guest house I've stayed in my life! You'll be amazed with Oazzang, he is not only a host but he is like a family! His place is cosy, clean, easily accessible as its near to Airport Rail and the subway. He'll also bring you out and recommend nice local food! I would highly recommend this place to...

My stay at Absolute was more than amazing. Although I believe it is now referred to as Chingu guest house, I felt incredibly lucky to have stumbled across it.

My stay at Absolute was more than amazing. Although I believe it is now referred to as Chingu guest house, I felt incredibly lucky to have stumbled across it. After spending the original 3 nights booked at Absolute; my friend and I booked for the rest of our 2 week stay in Seoul. We wanted to be cautious and test a few places out before hand, but quickly realized that Absolute was worth every night spent. We were welcomed and assisted by the staff to a near familial level. The entire staff and ownership went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and even as friends. One in particular was JT, or Joon Tae, who is incredibly friendly and funny showed us a side of Seoul and Korean culture that we surely would not have without. He and Carl were particularly helpful in assisting us make plans during our stay. They essentially navigated and booked websites that were almost entirely in Korean while we were out exploring and partying. Which I had not expected but more than appreciated. Absolute is also located in the Hongdae neighborhood, which at the time meant little to me. After experiencing the culture, art and nightlife that thrives there I can see how invaluable Absolute's location is. Everyone was amazing at Absolute (Chingu). I couldn't recommend it enough if there is room for making a few great friends on your itinerary in Korea.

My stay at CT was really awesome and I must say that this is a fantastic choice of stay if you visit Seoul. Firstly, the location of the hostel is a short walking distance away from Sinchon Station so it's really convenient to travel anywhere.

My stay at CT was really awesome and I must say that this is a fantastic choice of stay if you visit Seoul. Firstly, the location of the hostel is a short walking distance away from Sinchon Station so it's really convenient to travel anywhere. There are also 2 convenience stores along the way in case you need to buy anything on the way back, as well as a 24 hr Lotteria if you fancy some fast food. In addition, there are several push cart Ahjummas too for that traditional road side snack/meal. Secondly, the best part about CT is that the staff and boss are all really friendly and helpful! Best of all, they can speak English or Chinese quite fluently so communication is no issue. Heejo greeted me when I arrived on the first day and even gave me a short tour of the place. The rest of the days, I was assisted by Eric and Rena. Always a warm welcome with a big smile when I get back everyday! They have a common kitchen you can use, free breakfast (bread and spreads), drinking water and even washing machine available for your usage. Also, they provide free travel adaptors that you can borrow from the counter which is really convenient. I stayed in one of the double rooms (as single rooms were fully booked), and the bed was really comfy. Space of the room was just right for a solo traveller and I felt the price was really affordable as compared to other options. Hairdryer, computer, wifi and TV was provided in the room too. There is also shampoo, body wash and toothpaste provided, but girls may need to get your own conditioner as I did. They do have towels too, but it's not the big type. Just the size of a hand towel but it was sufficient for me. No problem for a hostel stay I would say. I felt really warm support from the staff as they are always ready to help, for example when I had problem with the TV and PC. Problems were solved right away! Really thankful to Eric and CT for the nice stay I had, and I'll definitely be coming back next time I visit Seoul.

Kimchee Sinchon Guesthouse has the most friendly atmosphere that any hostel can offer compared to other guesthouses I have stayed on. The moment I reserved my booking from Agoda.com, I was contacted separately through email by their staff confirming my stay with them and offered assistance as to what particular need I may require prior to my arrival. Upon check-in, the reception desk is glamorously decorated indicating the place's friendly and vibrant atmosphere. I was well-assisted. She's the coolest and hippest receptionist I have ever encountered. Since I arrived earlier than check-in time, she offered me to leave my luggages since I came from a long flight to Seoul. She then offered me travel tips as well as transportation guides since it was my first time in South Korea. In all, Kimchee Sinchon is a place that can clearly meet one's needs for a place to stay and refresh after a day of touring around and sightseeing - a decent bed, shower and toilet facilities which are periodically cleaned. Oh, I might forget the cozy basement they've got. It houses the kitchen, lounge, dining, internet facilities, free Wii, laundry and the awesome dart game. You can definitely hang on the basement and meet other fellow guests staying in the guesthouse and make some new acquaintances.

It's the first time I travelled outside the country and I've chosen South Korea. I got into the Korean culture because of KPOP and easily got hooked into the culture.

It's the first time I travelled outside the country and I've chosen South Korea. I got into the Korean culture because of KPOP and easily got hooked into the culture. I planned this trip 1 year before and looked for accommodation via Agoda. Apple Tree is a great place to stay if you are looking for an affordable find. The place itself is situated in Seoul, specifically in the Mangwon area. The neighborhood is quiet and the place is clean. I just really want a place to stay and have a comfortable sleep. The room that I reserved was the bunk twin - the room comes with a bunk bed, table, chair, lamp and air conditioning. The comfort rooms are shared but that was never a problem for me. What's best about my stay is that I get the chance to know other travelers and Shawn. Shawn basically helped me with everything. He sent an email informing me about the directions on how to get to the place. He introduced me to his niece who is very cute. He even gave me additional information about where to get the best rate for money exchange. I will definitely book this place and I highly recommend this place for backpackers who would like to look for an affordable place to stay. - JON

Wow, this place is just a chilled out place to stay in. The staff are international and always smile and are happy to help. Not only that but the rooms are affordable for the location and it's really clean. If you are in Seoul be sure to stay here for a wonderful stay in Korea. Korean hospitality at its very best.

This is my first time in South Korea, it is really lucky to have chosen such a nice hostel. The owner of the hostel is Mr Lee, who is a really nice guy, he even cook fast noodle for me and teach me some very useful korean sentences. Next time, when I go to Seoul again, I will still stay in is hostel! Give some advices to Lee: u need more sports!!

1st we stay at old four seasons house, then after got back from Jeju island we were transferred to new four seasons house, both of the house really great, the price was really reasonable, we chose dorm for 3 people in 4bed dorm, instead, they gave us whole dorm which was really convenience for us. I would like to recommend this house to anyone since the price is good, ...

I would like to recommend this house to anyone since the price is good, the place is clean as well, the location of new four seasons house very near to subway station and we do not need to climb many stairs of hills..:)) if I go to south Korea again I will definitely stay here 5/5

This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a few nights in Seoul and don't want to spend a lot on a hotel. Remember, it is a hostel, not a hotel, so don't expect luxury 5-star rooms with room service. The hostel itself is nice. It's very clean and kept. You check in in the basement floor where there is also a common lounge. I did not spend any time here but ...
This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a few nights in Seoul and don't want to spend a lot on a hotel. Remember, it is a hostel, not a hotel, so don't expect luxury 5-star rooms with room service. The hostel itself is nice. It's very clean and kept. You check in in the basement floor where there is also a common lounge. I did not spend any time here but I did see other foreigners chatting and watching the games on TV (and from the sounds of it none of them knew each other) so I think its a great place to meet new people and make friends. The rooms are a bit cramped but that's the norm with most hostels. But it wasn't so cramped that I couldn't fit my own bags or stuff around, I was still comfortable. The staff was very attentive and helpful, whenever I needed something they always got it for me right away. They have basic necessities that you can use for free or for a very cheap price (like $3). Stuff like towels are free to use so you don't need to bring your own if you don't want to waste luggage space. I think one of the best aspects of this hostel is location. Location really should be a main consideration when booking any kind of hotel or hostel and this one does a good job of that. The hostel itself is located just about 5 minutes walking from the main part of Hongdae. It's great because not only do you get to enjoy all the shopping and restaurants close by but its enough of a distance that you won't hear drunk people on the street when you're trying to sleep. Kimchee Guesthouse has no curfew so there are a few people coming in late at night but I had no issue with other guests not being respectful. No matter how drunk they were they tried to stay quiet. Kimchee is also just 5 minutes from the Hongik University subway station so there is easy transportation availability. Overall this is a great choice for a hostel if you plan on staying in the Hongdae area (or Seoul in general) and I highly recommend it to others.

This was my second visit to Itaewon in as many weeks. I was lucky enough to book another room at SP, as rooms in Seoul were going fast for the holiday weekend.

This was my second visit to Itaewon in as many weeks. I was lucky enough to book another room at SP, as rooms in Seoul were going fast for the holiday weekend. The owners of SP are terrific and offer lots of good recommendations on shopping and food the area. Then, they leave you alone to enjoy your room quietly-which I appreciate. I was also able to leave my bag there safely after checking-out before heading back home to Daejeon. This was highly convenient. I was able to spend the day exploring and then return to pick it up. It was then only a 10 minute taxi ride to Seoul Station. I think this is the perfect place for international travelers on a budget, or foreigners like me living in Korea and visiting Seoul.

If you’re a solo traveler like me, I would recommend this awesome guesthouse for you. It’s very cheap and even it’s not very spacious but I don’t mind at all. The location is very near to a subway but if you’re a first timer here it will be a little confusing because it is located in a small alley behind the subway exit 1 at euljiro 3. This guesthouse is very clean and everything is provided here which includes shampoo, shower cream, facial cleanser . I just need to bring my toothbrush 😂😂 The facility such as hairdryer, computer, kitchen, refrigerator and so on is provided as well . But most importantly is the hot shower hahah as korea is quite cold . The internet is fast . I don’t get to know miss jo that much as we met once and just talk through the phone upon my arrival . But miss jo’s assistant mr.Dongki is very nice and it’s a pleasure knowing him . Very nice person and easy to talk with . But most valuable experience is that i made a lots of friends.

You are a 30-60 seconds walk (depending on the traffic light) into the digital beating heart of Seoul. An endless feast for your eyes is literally right around the corner.

You are a 30-60 seconds walk (depending on the traffic light) into the digital beating heart of Seoul. An endless feast for your eyes is literally right around the corner. But it’s not SO close that the noise from the massive crowds of people make its way to the hostel. I originally planned to stay here one night because I didn’t have a fixed itinerary and wanted to explore the rest of South Korea. But then I kept extending my stay again and again and again because of the awesome entertainment and shopping within arm’s... no, elbow’s reach. Plus the owner is very nice and the place is clean and comfortable. What more could you possibly ask for? I would give this 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Highly highly HIGHLY recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ive stayed at many guesthouses during my trips to South Korea and I must say that this is one of the best. the place is located at the quieter part of the "guesthouse district" but still very near Hongik Univ station. I had no problems finding it coz its not tucked in an alley. There are coffee shops all around and some restaurants. it's also just beside a convenience store. The rooms are big and the ceilings are high. which is a plus if you stay at their dorm room. it's always clean and neat, kudos to the staff for that. The toilets are always clean and there are two showerheads at the bathroom on the 2nd floor. they could add more toiletries though, maybe cotton swabs or combs on the dressing table. the staff is the best part and if I could give 10 stars, I would. If youre drinking coffee or beer at the common room,Mrs. Kang would sometimes give out snacks to accompany it. I asked for luggage storage while I wait for my late night flight and they readily agreed. I also had an impromptu "goodbye dinner" care of Mr. Lee, the manager. they are always assisting me whenever i need it. some great finds in this guesthouse: they have an adorable poodle called Namu who brightens up the place but is not noisy at all. they have a fridge on the 2nd floor. easier for the guests to store drinks without going down to the kitchen. free kpop cds! i kid you not. they have cds still in plastic wrap for you to take home. some that i remember: sf9, viction, knk, up10tion. this was the location of a webdrama staring a famous band member (f.t. island) i really would like to thank the manager and the owner. i had a pleasant stay. see you when i get back. ^^ hopefully there are rooms available😅

From there its about 400m walk but the entire walk is on a narrow stretch and would be difficult to find it at first. 3 supermarkets are very nearby. The hotel should improve on the facilities offered. The bath towels are very tiny and really unable to use for its purpose. They are just very small. Could be hardly used as a hand towel. There is only 1 lift available and it takes a long long waiting time. The rooms are small too but ve heard that is the case in all other hotels in Seoul. Overall it could improve a lot on all the smaller things it has failed to impress.

I booked 2 nights for a 2 week trip in Korea. Shrek and Fiona and the friendly environment they've created quickly changed that into a 6 week stay in Korea with G Guesthouse as a base to travel from. Shrek and Fiona are incredibly knowledgeable with not only the Itaewon/Seoul area but most places you would want to visit in Korea. Oh and the rooftop garden is nice too. ...

I was a little reluctant to stay at a Hostel but when you travel on a budget it is necessary to try new things. I am happy we did because we loved the Hostel. Of the six guest houses and hotels we stayed in during our visit to South Korea this one was the best one by far (and we stayed in a 4 star hotel during the trip). It is easy to get to from the airport line, the staff even sent a picture pathway documenting the easiest way to get to the guest house. The size of the room was good for our family of four. The washing machine was great. Location was great easy access to subway station to move everywhere. Close to the main streets where all the shopping stores, Hongik University, and restaurants are located. The room had a private bathroom, AC, lockers, and let us drop off our bags before checkin. All these helped to have a comfortable time in Korea. I liked especially that the place was clean and it seems newly renovated. The people in charge of the Hostel were very nice, helpful, and they speak English. I highly recommend this place. We liked it so much that we changed other reservations to return after we visited Jeju. When we go back we will definitely stay at the Hostel again.

I only stayed for 9.5hrs so can't comment much. I arrived at almost 1am and left on the same day at 10.30am. The keys was left at the check-in counter so it was no fuss.

I only stayed for 9.5hrs so can't comment much. I arrived at almost 1am and left on the same day at 10.30am. The keys was left at the check-in counter so it was no fuss. The room has no individual power point or light for each bed so charging was a pain since I was on the upper bunk. The bathroom was weird with 2 'somewhat' communal shower... you have to pass by the person who is using the basin to get to the showers and if you are lucky, the inner shower room has a door that you can close, so passing the outer shower space to get to the inner shower. If someone is using the outer shower, you will be practically opening the door to a naked person taking her shower right infront of you and somehow try not to get wet while passing thru. There is a table with hair dryers and combs but no powerpoint nor mirror so you gotta use the powerpoint that is next to the wash basin. There are bath soap and shampoo dispenser but empty, so not sure if provided but I had my own, so that wasnt a problem for me altho it is quite common for guesthouse/hostels in Korea to provide them. Wifi is good and room is spacious enough with a good size locker. We have to take off our shoes at the entrance but no shoes provided, so waddling from the shower out to the corridor with wet feet and getting onto the bed is kinda uncomfortable. Tried to get a towel in the morning at 9am but no one at the recep counter. Room was on the 3rd flr and the recep counter is on the 4th. Not sure about the location but basically booked this as it was the only one left in agoda which is in Gangnam (not too far from the Express Bus Terminal) and at a good discount since I booked it last minute. It has a small kitchen just next to the recep counter, didnt use it so cant comment.

It was great. We had a mishap with the reservation since they had no rooms available for some of the days we booked (site mishap) but mamas and papas staff did their best to accommodate us and make us comfortable. They made the trip a success and I don't regret booking and staying with them at all. They showed us some great places to eat like base camp and they took us...

They made the trip a success and I don't regret booking and staying with them at all. They showed us some great places to eat like base camp and they took us out to dinner. Being able to make breakfast in the morning was great. It had a great home vibe. My friend that accompanied me for her first time in Korea felt she got the real experience and felt we stayed at the perfect place to get to know the local point of view, night life and a good hospitable experience. I'd definitely come back again. Thank you for everything, l loved my stay. It's not the best but I feel it was kinda perfect.

Small guesthouse but very nice, located near sangsu subway, convenient to traveling to hongkil area. Room for 4,but the owner let only us stay there, so it is pretty private. Public bathroom,but we always take the bath late at night after going out all day, so it is not a problem. The owner understand English, and the helper speak English quite good. They had let us send our luggage after check out, since our flight was late at night, and we wanted to go to Seoul last time without big luggage.

This place is better than I think and it is well worth the money. The location is very easy to find and near to the subway and for the shopping.

This place is better than I think and it is well worth the money. The location is very easy to find and near to the subway and for the shopping. Cozy has anything that I need for a trip because I just come home to sleep. The room is bigger than I expected, and was very clean and comfortable! The bed was also nice, with a thick blanket. The bathroom has some smell but I think it's not a much problem because it is cleaned everyday. Only 1 toilet shared with 11 people. It would be a little annoying if other guests make noise at midnight. This is the self checkin so there is no staff to help you bring the luggage but cozy is just in the 2nd floor so I can handle it. The owner is very helpful when I have some trouble. Eventhough we checkout at 11 am but the owner still let us leave our luggage at the living room (of course they will not be responsible for your luggage). I will come to Cozy again if I back to Korea.

My stay at the Seoul Honey House was very pleasant. The room was comfortable and very clean. However, the bathroom was freezing (I was there in winter).

My stay at the Seoul Honey House was very pleasant. The room was comfortable and very clean. However, the bathroom was freezing (I was there in winter). The floor of the room was heated so that made the room very pleasant. The security lock on the door was also provided a lot of assurance even though Seoul is very safe. The owner lives on the premises too so it always feels like there's someone to turn to if there's anything to ask about the place. There is a separate entrance for the guest rooms so there's no need to feel like you're intruding on the owners. It's also not noisy even though the bars and nightclubs are a few streets away.

After more than 20 years of marriages , we decided to leave the kids behind in Australia and go for our second honeymoon in Korea. It was my first trip to Korea and I had booked Hotel Gracery Seoul. The hotel blew our mind when we first step in. The reception was on the 11th floor. The hotel was so clean , room was so neat and tidy. The staff were excellent, very accommodating. We stayed for 2 nights before flying off to Jeju. After that , we had to stay back at this excellent hotel again. I hope to return in the near future to this wonderful hotel with the whole family. Thank you Hotel Gracery Seoul for the wonderful memories.

I've visited Seoul a few times for business and after I found Shilla Stay, I always choose to stay here. I can't say this place(Guro) is good for transportation and travel, but at least it's not bad to approach many famous places in Seoul.

I've visited Seoul a few times for business and after I found Shilla Stay, I always choose to stay here. I can't say this place(Guro) is good for transportation and travel, but at least it's not bad to approach many famous places in Seoul. Hotel is very close to the station(Line 2) and many good place to visit is on the Line2. (Shin chon, Myung dong, Hongdae, GangNam, ...) And if you like bread and want to visit famous korean bakery, you need to check [Days and Days] (데이즈 앤 데이즈 in Korean). There's a few place called Mecca of Bread and this place is one of them. Unfortunately, this place is not on the google map, but you can find it on Naver Map Application(this is also good to find other famous restaurants in Korea)

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong is the best hotel in Seoul because it's a new hotel with good room rate. Free in-room wifi. $10 (each trip)Limo bus #6015 to & from Incheon International airport.

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong is the best hotel in Seoul because it's a new hotel with good room rate. Free in-room wifi. $10 (each trip)Limo bus #6015 to & from Incheon International airport. Do not forget to inform the 6015 bus driver to drop you in front of KEB(Korean Exchange Bank)Myeongdong, where the hotel is just located behind this building. Hotel Lotte is just situated cross the street and Myeongdong shopping is just in front of this hotel. Hotel provides maps and customer service could speak good English. Lots of good Korean Restaurants just in front of the hotel or within walking distance. Most of the scenic spots could be reached by underground train and the station entrance is in front of the hotel too. Do not forget to stay in this hotel when you travel in Seoul.

We split our stay in Seoul into 2 locations: Myeongdong and Gangnam. I picked Dormy Inn Seoul Gangnam because of the free breakfast, free ramen, self-serve laundry facilities and convenient locations to where we would be visiting during our stay in Gangnam.

We split our stay in Seoul into 2 locations: Myeongdong and Gangnam. I picked Dormy Inn Seoul Gangnam because of the free breakfast, free ramen, self-serve laundry facilities and convenient locations to where we would be visiting during our stay in Gangnam. We were really satisfied with the widespread breakfast. Food was delicious and plentiful with changes in variety. We found that by eating a big breakfast and the free ramen, we were able to save money on meals by buying one large meal a day at lunch plus snacks of course. Who can resist Korean street food and snacks! We did not try the onsen but we saw people using it when doing our laundry. Love the self-serve laundry! We had a 23-day trip visiting South Korea and Hong Kong. Packing less clothing and doing laundry during the trip saved luggage for souvenirs. Washing is free and a small fee of 2000 won for drying. The machine has specific settings for delicate clothing items. Despite small room size, we highly recommend this hotel!

Losir is actually a famous hotel in Seoul , specially their gd location in Myeongdong. Less then a min to Sunway station , which is just right upper the train station(Myeongdong) exit number 6 , 2-3min to airport transport station .

Losir is actually a famous hotel in Seoul , specially their gd location in Myeongdong. Less then a min to Sunway station , which is just right upper the train station(Myeongdong) exit number 6 , 2-3min to airport transport station .

Will definitely come back again !

We booked this hotel because it was meters away from Garosugil and we didnt regret it. The rooms were small conpared to other hotels we stayed in Seoul but its design is functional.

We stayed at this hotel in January, which is a very cold month in Seoul. We chose this hotel as it is just above the Mapo Station and only a few steps from the exit no. 9. Also, we went to emart via exit no. 4 for shopping before we left for airport. You can also get tax refunds on non-perishable items at emart. Coffee shops, fried chicken stalls and eating places...
We stayed at this hotel in January, which is a very cold month in Seoul. We chose this hotel as it is just above the Mapo Station and only a few steps from the exit no. 9. Also, we went to emart via exit no. 4 for shopping before we left for airport. You can also get tax refunds on non-perishable items at emart. Coffee shops, fried chicken stalls and eating places (even Korean beef) are just opposite the road. The interior design of the room is modern with shelves, storage, hangers and beds are all very handy with a feeling of your own house. This is the best hotel I have stayed after years of travel in Korea.

TMark Grand Hotel is the best hotel to stay in Seoul! Guaranteed! Lots of facilities, staffs were so helpful and friendly!

Upon arrival I was so impressed how they upgraded our room to family room that it got more spacious! Breakfast was also nice. Location is excellent especially for shoppers as the hotel is just opposite the Namdaemun Market and 10-15mins walk to Myeongdong Shopping Center. Subway is just beside the hotel. It so convenient to travel. There is Plenty of nearby awesome restaurants as well so you won't get hungry. I love how Koreans are genuinely and naturally kind hearted people. I would definitely come back to this hotel in Seoul again next time! Thanks a lot TMark Grand Hotel! You deserve a fantastic review! Cheers!

I stayed at the St. Regis in Bangkok a few weeks before staying at L7 in Seoul. Let's just say I wish my stay at the St. Regis had been as nice as my stay at L7.

I stayed at the St. Regis in Bangkok a few weeks before staying at L7 in Seoul. Let's just say I wish my stay at the St. Regis had been as nice as my stay at L7. The hotel is modern and sleek without trying too hard. The staff was kind and accommodating. The room clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The rooftop terrace lounge hit all points one should. This will be my "go to" hotel in Seoul and I hope to find other properties from this brand. I can't say enough nice things about it and I think that should mean something b/c I didn't have any special request or need - it was purely an easy stay in a solid hotel that totally met my expectations. (And while you may want a hotel to exceed your expectations, the St. Regis in Bangkok set a new bar for me in that I simply want a hotel to meet my expectations.) I will stay at this hotel again, won't even look elsewhere.

We stayed here for 5 days. The best of all is the hotel allow us to early check in at about 8am after mid-night flight and the kids are really tired at the time arrival hotel. We have checked their early check-in policy which allows if rooms available but with charge before 9am. However, at time of check-in, the hotel staff is so kind to tell us that they can arrange ...
We stayed here for 5 days. The best of all is the hotel allow us to early check in at about 8am after mid-night flight and the kids are really tired at the time arrival hotel. We have checked their early check-in policy which allows if rooms available but with charge before 9am. However, at time of check-in, the hotel staff is so kind to tell us that they can arrange early check in for free if we enroll the hotel membership. We are so lucky that they have room available at that time and I believe it is special arrangement for comforting their guest. We treasured much the hospitality showed by the hotel. Also, the hotel room is big enough with enough space for luggage and to walk around. The location is very convenient near the attractions of the Hongdae and only 5 minutes walk to the metro. There is a VR game center on that building which the kids enjoy very much. All in all, it is a very recommendable hotel in Seoul which I believe we would like to stay again.

This is a new hotel recommended by my friend It was our wedding anniversary trip to Korea , the hotel has kindly upgraded us to a suite with the view of Seoul Tower and even wrote a congratulatory note with chocolates. This is very thoughtful The reception staff are very helpful and friendly, they can converse in English very well. The facilities of the hotel are really very thoughtful, there is lounge on the top floor to see nice view of seoul, with free coffee and water. Every floor there is ice maker machine and ironing facilities. The room I stayed are very clean and spacious (space is problem in most seoul hotel) so we choose this place due to its room spaciousness. The walk to myeongdong is about 15mins (not too far) which is perfect to be away from the noise yet convenient. The stay was perfect, i will definitely choose this place again when i go back to seoul!

Its a great hotel to stay in, The locations is superb at that price. Chumuro station is a hop and a skip away. MyeongDong, namdaemun , kwanjang market all within walking distance! Only catch the Hotel, like most hotels in Seoul, during the colder sessions, the hotel normally controls the tempt at 25c. Hence even if we were to turn the aircon temp to 16c , its not goi...

Only catch the Hotel, like most hotels in Seoul, during the colder sessions, the hotel normally controls the tempt at 25c. Hence even if we were to turn the aircon temp to 16c , its not going to work! Your better off opening the windows!' I notice a number of foreigner all asking the front desk the same questions, why is the air conditioning so hot! Another tip, ask for rooms facing the front rather than the back! Food wise, there are many great restaurants around the area. All within minutes of walking, ranging from the famous bbq , stem pork leg, chicken soup (non ginseng), dumplings, and ETC!

I really love the view from their window =) i will still chose this hotel when i will have my trip to korea again =) more power to PJ HoTEl! See you again soon! And also thanks to agoda!

Look no others if u plan to stay in Seoul. Stayed in a 5 stars hotel in Myeong Dong for 4 days 3 night but couldnt beat ENA overall. Location wise very strategic, staff can speak fluent english, room size is excellent compare to price that you paid, cleanliness is 10/10, facilities is great and overall value for money.

Look no others if u plan to stay in Seoul. Stayed in a 5 stars hotel in Myeong Dong for 4 days 3 night but couldnt beat ENA overall. Location wise very strategic, staff can speak fluent english, room size is excellent compare to price that you paid, cleanliness is 10/10, facilities is great and overall value for money. Nearby to Namdaemun Market, less than 1 km around 15 minutes. Don't shop at Myeong Dong as total ripoff. If u book from klook to Nami Island to travel by bus, the pickup point in at Sungnyemun Gate 5 minutes walk only. Eateries and 24 hours convenience store are less than 5 minutes walk and around the hotel area. Hotel even allowed early check in at 1 pm as long as you informed them earlier. Airport taxi is 80 000 krw from the hotel to Incheon, took around 50 minutes if he traffic is clear. Overall great experience with ENA Suite. Definitely my only choice if staying in Seoul. The room is big (Standard King), hot shower, heaters and a/c works like a charm.

New hotel. Friendly and professional staff. Nice view from rooms and roof top. Rooms are spacious and the bath tub is nice. A short walk to the fun area of Hongdae with cafes and markets on way. Negatives: The toilet is not smart. Stayed at 4 hotels in Seoul and each hotel room had a toilet that flushed itself and kept the seat warm. Was a minor let down. Also, is ...
New hotel. Friendly and professional staff. Nice view from rooms and roof top. Rooms are spacious and the bath tub is nice. A short walk to the fun area of Hongdae with cafes and markets on way. Negatives: The toilet is not smart. Stayed at 4 hotels in Seoul and each hotel room had a toilet that flushed itself and kept the seat warm. Was a minor let down. Also, is non smoking in all rooms and rooftop. Major negative. Especially for the outdoor areas. I cannot comment on pool area as didn't visit due to the additional charge to use the pool (and too busy out shopping and exploring) but would be crazy if cannot smoke at pool either. Overall was one of my best stays in Seoul and would certainly stay again. The front desk was very welcoming and accommodating.

Nothing to complaint about, and I meant it seriously! :) And I am going to talk about what is so good about it: a) Airport bus 6015 is just 100m in front, less than 5mins walk, trust me, no big deal with luggages (and you don't need taxi) b) Clean, clean, clean and modern new hotel c) Living in Myeongdong shopping street - food, shop, everything.

Happening place. d) Subway exit 8 is nearest, to connect you to major places e) Size of room is above average size of Seoul hotels, and bathroom with everything you need Surely gonna recommend to friends, and will stay here in future.

This was the third time stay at Oriens for the past 2 years and I still feel I make the correct choice in choosing this hotel in Seoul. Although they have reconfigure the room for the one bedroom suite I booked, it was still a very comfortable stay for me . They have changed the one bedroom suite that come with a walk-in wardrobe to two bedroom suite, so actually the one bedroom suite is smaller now. The location of the hotel is between Myeongdong and chungmuro station. Quiet but walking distance to all the shopping area. Already booked my next stay in Seoul for next month. Enjoy my stay here with the friendly staff!

This is without a doubt one of the best hotels in Seoul. In addition to its extremely convenient location, the hotel staff are the nicest I have ever met when traveling to Seoul, or any other part of Korea. The staff always try their best to accommodate the guests and they really made us feel special. My wife and I are always impressed whenever we stay here.

We made our booking after looking around for a more smoker friendly hotel. Hotel28 offers a smoking area within the hotel premises at the outdoor rooftop. Most hotels in Seoul do not offer smoking room anymore and not very smoker friendly on the street either. I have been to Seoul 10x and stayed in Myeongdong all the time. This is the 5th hotel I have stayed in Myeong...

Most hotels in Seoul do not offer smoking room anymore and not very smoker friendly on the street either. I have been to Seoul 10x and stayed in Myeongdong all the time. This is the 5th hotel I have stayed in Myeongdong and it is definitely one of my top choice in Myeongdong. The hotel is just 2 mins away from airport limo bus stop (at Ibis bus stop) and 3 mins away from Euljiro 1 subway. Lotte department store is just across the street, Myeongdong main shopping area is just a turn from the hotel. Plenty of food choices just a few steps away. We booked Deluxe Twin of 31 sq m, but the room feel not as large as we thought as the bathroom took up a lot of space with the bath tub in the centre. Mini bar is FREE! Beers, sodas, crackers are available in the mini bar. Also a Nespresso machine! The toiletries is awesome

I had a wonderful 5-night stay in this hotel. It was my 4th time visiting Seoul, and this hotel is by far the best hotel I have stayed in. Location: Perfect! Subway stations, Myeongdong, Namdaemun, City Hall, Airport bus, huge dept stores are all within a short walking distance. Plenty of food options, coffee shops, 24-hr convenience shops in nearby area.

I had a wonderful 5-night stay in this hotel. It was my 4th time visiting Seoul, and this hotel is by far the best hotel I have stayed in. Location: Perfect! Subway stations, Myeongdong, Namdaemun, City Hall, Airport bus, huge dept stores are all within a short walking distance. Plenty of food options, coffee shops, 24-hr convenience shops in nearby area. I carried plenty of luggages, so I took taxi from Seoul station, it took me just 5 mins to reach the hotel and cost me only 4500 won. Room: Excellent! Very clean, great comfortable bed and bathroom is superb. Room view is excellent, too. Service: Receptionists and concierge are very polite and welcoming. They speak very good english and also very efficient. The housekeeping lady is also very nice and warm. They take extraordinary effort to ensure our stay was a memorable one. Facilities: Love their library so much. Very well decorated with a great view of Seoul skyscraper buildings. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better experience during my stay in this hotel. They did a really good job to ensure everything was flawless. And I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul.

This was our first time to visit South Korea with very minimum knowledge about the country. It was a great stay as it is close to several stations and bus stops.

This was our first time to visit South Korea with very minimum knowledge about the country. It was a great stay as it is close to several stations and bus stops. It is also walking distance to the center of attraction in MyeongDong. Foods are there till quite late night. Convenience store also very close. The staff quite nice and willing to help though sometimes a bit difficult for me to capture their English. Unfortunately there was an accident that we found several very small pieces of broken glass on the second day that hurt one of my family (bleed) and made us bit afraid as we travel with young children. The info about taxi we book to go to airport that we confirm to be able to be paid by card also invalid. Fortunately we still had enough cash to pay. But overall I can't agree more that this is one of the Great option to stay in South Korea.

stayed in double room a on the 12th floor of prince hotel (there are 13 floors), and was pleasantly surprised to find a king-sized bed (i'd expected perhaps a queen-sized bed or a uk-standard double bed). the room and bathroom were pretty small but adequate space to move around comfortably in the room as well as to set out two large luggage bags (well, if you're looki...
stayed in double room a on the 12th floor of prince hotel (there are 13 floors), and was pleasantly surprised to find a king-sized bed (i'd expected perhaps a queen-sized bed or a uk-standard double bed). the room and bathroom were pretty small but adequate space to move around comfortably in the room as well as to set out two large luggage bags (well, if you're looking for a hotel smack centre of the shopping area, can't be expecting large rooms!), the furnishings and fittings looked modern and pleasing to the eye. from my room, we had a birds-eye view of the start of the main myeongdong shopping street -- and despite the hotel's proximity to the shopping area, we had uninterrupted sleep (didn't hear noise from the streets below). the mattress was comfortable (not like the hard-ish mattress i'd encountered at other hotels in seoul on previous trip). there seemed to be quite a few japanese travelers staying at this hotel. the concierge staff spoke good english, and were helpful in providing us directions.

Pros - soundproofing between rooms is very good, excellent location, staff is great (among the best in Seoul - I've stayed at 15+ hotels there), there is a high # of staff per guest, cleaning crews are excellent, rooms are reasonably good for sleeping (good curtains + dark + good pillows), A/C works well though it's loud on medium/high setting, you can go directly to y...
Pros - soundproofing between rooms is very good, excellent location, staff is great (among the best in Seoul - I've stayed at 15+ hotels there), there is a high # of staff per guest, cleaning crews are excellent, rooms are reasonably good for sleeping (good curtains + dark + good pillows), A/C works well though it's loud on medium/high setting, you can go directly to your room floor from the ground level (though lobby is on 9F). Staff changed my room for me very efficiently and graciously on Day 2 after complaining of road noise on Day 1. Neutral - elevators are reasonably fast and only require long wait at peak time, there are only 2 coin washers so I had to walk to a nearby private coin laundry center. Cons - Wifi doesn't work well (bad range and also very unstable connection), gym is small/not that good (but there are several gyms in the immediate vicinity), some rooms have road noise, the rooms are a bit small, TV channel selection is bad (e.g. no NBA basketball on SpoTV 1/2).

We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Seoul. Almost everything you need is already provided here. Free shuttle bus to Myeongdong, Seoul station, dongdaemun. Food is about 2 minutes walking distance. Free refill drinking water. Convenience store is at level 14 of the hotel. Breakfast is great (not awesome though). Ah yes, remember to go to eat at the f...

Food is about 2 minutes walking distance. Free refill drinking water. Convenience store is at level 14 of the hotel. Breakfast is great (not awesome though). Ah yes, remember to go to eat at the fish street somewhere here! Small street but crowded and very delicious! Highly recommended! Adios

The only complaint is that the towels never seemed as fresh (slightly stained) as other Seoul hotels we stayed at. We notified staff of this the 2 separate times we stayed at OCloud, and they did try to get us other towels, but they should really look into how they are cleaned. Other than that, stay was great!

The hotel was close from subway station and airport bus shuttle. As i heard from staff, It just open on April so that the hotel was pretty new and nice. I stayed the room in high floor and I could see the nice city view in my room. Dongdaemoon which is a big market in Seoul is very close as well.

The hotel was close from subway station and airport bus shuttle. As i heard from staff, It just open on April so that the hotel was pretty new and nice. I stayed the room in high floor and I could see the nice city view in my room. Dongdaemoon which is a big market in Seoul is very close as well. ( It is in walking distance). and many market in Dongdaemoon open until over night. so I could walk to there in midnight and have a delicious street food. Also, Staffs in the hotel was very nice and even if i asked many things like direction, restaurant, they always are nice to me with smile. I was so happy to stay here and if i have a chance to come Korea again, I surely stay here again.

I have stayed different hotels in Seoul and this one was the best in terms of its location, very near to all the tourist attractions and good restaurants in the old town Seoul. It is also very clean. The room and the equipments are simple but efficient, so you have everything you need. I think I would stay again when I am back in Seoul.

I want to recognize and appreciate the excellent customer service of Lee Jong Bo. I am very grateful for his exceptional support and care at our most needed times. On the day of moving to a new hotel, there was no taxi available to come to the hotel for hours due to a protest.

I want to recognize and appreciate the excellent customer service of Lee Jong Bo. I am very grateful for his exceptional support and care at our most needed times. On the day of moving to a new hotel, there was no taxi available to come to the hotel for hours due to a protest. Exhausted and desperately, we decided to walk over 20 minutes carrying our heavy luggage. Lee Jong Bo stepped up and offered to help. He not only called the taxi personally; but also helped us to negotiate and convince the taxi driver to take us before the driver drove away after seeing our luggage. He then carried the luggage and placed in the trunk personally. Lee Jong Bo has done things above and beyond his duty and we are so thankful for his kind actions. Lee Jong Bo from New Seoul Hotel in Seoul is a great example of wonderful customer service representatives and we will definitely come back to the hotel if we visit Seoul again.

It's so hard to find a taxi out of Itaewon on the weekend. So, when staying in Seoul, I've tried various hotels in the Itaewon area and this is the best due to the quiet location. It's out of the way from the insane noise of honking taxis and drunk revelers. Even if you happen to be one of the drunk revelers, you still may want to sleep eventually. This is my favor...

It's out of the way from the insane noise of honking taxis and drunk revelers. Even if you happen to be one of the drunk revelers, you still may want to sleep eventually. This is my favorite hotel in Itaewon because it's peaceful and they even upgraded my room. The room was comfortable and I slept extremely well. Don't forget to bring your own toothbrush or you can buy one at the front desk. Thanks Crown Hotel!

We travelled in the countryside for several days before staying one night at the legendary The Shilla hotel in Seoul as a final night in Korea, a little treat for ourselves. It did not disappoint and we were pleasantly surprised with the views to Namsan and over the city with the sense of space and beauty. The rooms were elegantly understated but dripped of quality and great thoughtmanship with design and utility. The room was spacious and the window stood out as a piece of moving art with neat thick black borders enhancing the views. We enjoyed the luxurious bath, shower and clever toilet. What turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience, I hope will now mean several more experience in the near future. My tip is to go sightseeing around the markets, but check out the Shilla duty free first as you might want to make your actual purchases onsite. Also, depending on your room rate, access to the swimming pool may not be included (the Swimming pool is awesome throughout the year)

great stay !!! great hotel in seoul !!! great tips and we are stay many days in seoul . really we decided in the next trip to corea , come back to haytt hotel in seoul . near the city , great zone , great view, great amenities , great lounge , great parcking ... where ever you want , you have in this hotel ... really really a great hotel !!!

All the staff at Signiel was so kind than any other hotel, and the view from the highest building was very nice. Every place in Hotel was quite neat and clean, but it would be much better if they could have larger space. Room rate is pretty expensive when comparing with other hotels in Seoul, but it is quite worthy to experience this hotel if possible.

I would say Oakwood is by far the best residence hotel in Seoul Korea. Friendly staff with great accomodation and the dining on the first floor was delicious. Location is near Samsung Station (Line 2) and airport terminal as well. Oakwood was just great. Would definitely recommend to friends visiting Seoul.

This is a great hotel, but I expected it to be more luxurious for the price we paid. The hotel is connected to the Lotte Department Store, Lotte Mart, Lotte World Theme Park and the subway. There is also a free shuttle to the other Lotte Hotel in Seoul. There is no free wi-fi in the hotel though. There is a cable in the room which will allow you to go online, but be ca...

Overall, we had a pleasant stay in this hotel.

I had never been to the Walker Vista before so it was the first time.

I had never been to the Walker Vista before so it was the first time. My wife and I had wanted to go to an outdoor pool hotel but unfortunately it wasn't open until June 22nd which was a let down when we first arrived. Still the manager did her best to make us feel better about our stay by giving us an upgrade which was much appreciated. Even without the use of the outdoor pool I feel this hotel has a lot to offer such as one of the best hotel gym's that I've been in within Seoul. The indoor pool was bright and has an outdoor sunbathing patio which I thought was a great extra to cool off as it gets a bit humid in there. The hotel was extremely clean, even the TV remote has a plastic cover that is replaced with every guest. This hotel also has a unique outside garden patio area to sit that has foot sauna's and hammock to watch the stars at night. I believe that this hotel holds one of the best value for money in Seoul especially in the summer months.

Me and my fiancée decided to stay here during Valentine’s Day, I was looking for a romantic and beautiful hotel and we found it. I live in gunsan and often travel to Seoul to meet my fiancée, after staying in over 50 different hotels in Seoul I must say this one is hands down the best I’ve experienced yet. The best experience staying at this hotel was the level of service you receive, I had only 10 minutes to decorate the room with various valentine’s day items like rose petals and candles, however I forgot to bring wine glasses and a cork opener, I called down to the front desk and literally within seconds they brought the items and even brought a beautiful wine set with ice that I didn’t even ask for to my room free of charge. we also needed a very early check in time and a really late checkout time and they granted that request without question, even when we walked around the lobby the staff would stand up soon as you walked in the room and asked if we needed anything at all, never experienced that kind of service even at the best hotels in America. The hotel is beautiful, we got a few pictures in front of the Victorian fountain in the lobby, and other areas of the hotel and they turned out great. The hotel room was extremely clean when we arrived and was extremely comfortable. The hotel is also located very near the coex metro with plenty to do and was only a 5 min walk from the subway station. The only small thing I found wrong with the hotel was the food prices, the Korean buffet was 60,000 won per person, and we ordered room service the next day and the prices were pretty ridiculous as well, got charged about 9 dollars for a can of coke lol. But this by no means even came close to ruining our experience with this hotel, and there are plenty of very nice reasonably priced restaurants located nearby to make up for it. Truly a 5 star hotel and will defiantly be going back in the future.

I love the facilities in the hotel.The pool inside the room is definitely amazing. The staff are of well trained with fluent English. They are willing to help and are patient to annoying question. The restaurant provide wide range of food and after that, you may take free exercise class in the gym. All in all, it is a must try hotel in Seoul.

It was a terrific stay with Westin Chosun Seoul, I would rate it my top choice in Seoul (have stayed in a lot of different 5 star hotels in Seoul). The hotel itself is remarkably clean, 3 minutes walk literally to Lotte Shopping Centre and Myeondong, hotel staff is very friendly, always there when you need them. Highly recommended!

It's the best hotel that I had stay before in Seoul. Someone in Seoul also guarantee this is the best hotel in Seoul. Room is quite big and very comfortable and clean. Bed is so soft and warm. All staffs can speak English very well and service you very well. Breakfast is good and dining in room is also good. Hotel is located in very good location. It's place in co-ex m...

All staffs can speak English very well and service you very well. Breakfast is good and dining in room is also good. Hotel is located in very good location. It's place in co-ex mall so you can find everything around you. You can go everywhere easily by walk to Samseong Station. So this is the best choice of hotel that you should choose to stay next time.

Stayed in a spacious room with a balcony. Nice room design and clean. Requested a purifier and humidifier. Breakfast was fantastic with a wide spread of varieties. About 5 mins walk to a subway entrance. Lots of food choices around the area. Highly recommended.

Ask for a room at the back of the hotel - much better outlook, quiet and overlooks the waterfall The Gym is really excellent - as is Golf and the Sauna (extra) + the Pool is fantastic Rooms good - real king size beds + you can open a window if the Aircon is not working (seems they turn off cooling function in Autumn and winter) ATM does not accept foreign cards - bizarre for an international Hotel, when the 7*11 across the road does!

I needed a hotel for several days after a last minute business cancelation in another city. I found this hotel on Agoda and initially only booked for one night. Upon check-in and the initial interaction with several staff members I realized that I had found a diamond in the rough. The hotel has been open for approx. one year so it is still new and fresh. The staff are helpful and amazingly friendly. I booked for two more nights and thoroughly felt at home in this wonderful half-suite room. The room was equipped with a kitchenette and even had a small washing machine/dryer machine in the rear closet and luggage storage area. Great views of the river or the city. I will definitely be going back to this hotel the next time I’m in Seoul.

Hotel was clean and facilities are all new. It was conveniently located near the Malls in dongdaemum which made late night shopping possible. There’s also a airport bus near the hotel(1minwalk). The hotel staff helped us to push our bags to the bus stop on our last day which was greatly appreciated as we bought a lot of stuff:) Overall, I will book this hotel again the...

A very nice hotel for holiday/vacation or business travel, next door to Gimpo Airport and only 30-40 mins by taxi/car to Incheon Airport. Rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast & dinner was excellent with a wide variety on offer. Other restuarants & bars were close by. Early check-in was possible for me (5am) with my room ready to go.

The staff at this hotel is perfectly friendly and thoughtful. They greeted us everytime we walked into the lobby and answered our every question with clear details. The rooms were clean, comfortable and had everything we can ask for, including a washing machine and coffee maker. The hotel was located right beside Yongsan station and is co-located with Novotel and Ibis (called the Seoul Dragon City, where there are many shops too).

First night I arrived, they were full house, so the room they gave me was not so great i.e. window faced a wall, and the furniture was old/repainted which was also chipped, TV was the old type CRT. I requested to change to a different room the 3rd night, and they gave me a much better room. View was open and furniture was much newer, with LCD TV. No signs of being a lo...
First night I arrived, they were full house, so the room they gave me was not so great i.e. window faced a wall, and the furniture was old/repainted which was also chipped, TV was the old type CRT. I requested to change to a different room the 3rd night, and they gave me a much better room. View was open and furniture was much newer, with LCD TV. No signs of being a love hotel for both the new and old room, which was good. Heard they are known for their sauna, which is attached to the hotel, but didn't try. Staff was helpful and provided the info I needed, but overall felt a little bit cold. Location is convenient, walkable distance to Apgujeong (Rodeo Road) which is the most posh neighborhood in Seoul now, also walkable to Cheongdam station (about 10 min walk), COEX is only 3 bus stops away (bus ride is 1000 krw) and they come frequently. Best part is the hotel coach stops right in front of Prima Hotel if you take 6010 route. The other hotel it stops right in front of is Hotel Riviera. I don't really have a point of reference to compare to as I have only stayed in one hotel in Seoul. But overall, I feel it was a decent stay, clean, properly run hotel, but not really 4 star, but given the convenient location, still worth the price.

The Sheraton Seoul D Cube City Hotel is a top notch hotel with excellent views and amenities. The hotel is located on the upper floors of the Seoul D Cube City shopping complex. There are no tall buildings immediately next to the complex, thus, the views from any window are excellent and uninterrupted. There is a subway stop connected to the complex which makes for easy traveling. The best features of the hotel were the club level lounge and the fitness center. The lounge had the best breakfast and happy hour food selection I've ever experienced out of the many club/executive lounges that I've encountered. The food was constantly refreshed and the view over the city was fantastic. The happy hour food was so filling and delicious that it filled me up and I didn't need to go out and have dinner! The fitness center was very well equipped with ample cardio equipment, lots of weight machines, a free-weight area, a room for fitness classes, and a stretching area. The lap pool was also very nice. The staff at the hotel were excellent and spoke perfect English. They were very helpful and always engaging. Perhaps the only disappointment was the value of the hotel. It is an expensive hotel, and even though the view from our room was spectacular, the size of the room for the price seemed small. This was my first stay in Seoul, so perhaps it is just the standard to have small, expensive hotel rooms in a city with such a high standard of living. Overall, an excellent hotel.

Conrad Seoul Hotel is located in a very beautiful places with wide roads, parks and a big river. as to those love jogging, it is a perfect place.

Conrad Seoul Hotel is located in a very beautiful places with wide roads, parks and a big river. as to those love jogging, it is a perfect place. The mall under it is modern and there are so many food choices in the supermarket. Most of the employees in the mall can speak English. The staff of Conrad Seoul Hotel are ready to offer help any time. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. It's a pity for me to stay a night there. If I have a chance to go back to Korea, it will be my first choice.

The Seoul Plaza has always been my favorite hotel in Seoul because of its unique, central location and because of the thorough attentiveness and professionalism of its staff. It is a great hotel. However, the hotel's central location also comes with a drawback over which the hotel exercises no control. The hotel faces directly onto the City Hall Plaza, which is a center for both cultural and political activity. At times this activity -- political activity especially -- can be quite noisy for those in rooms on the north side of the hotel, facing up Taepyongno toward Gyeongbokgung Palace. During my most recent stay there were two occasions in which political activists employed very loud sound systems. The back (south) side of the hotel is quieter, but also less attractive. The hotel has recently undergone a major renovation, and is now one of the most "hi tech" hotels in Asia. However, the renovation evidently did not include installation of hi-tech sound-proof windows in all of the rooms, which is a shame. Bottom line: I will still stay at the Plaza, but there may be some guests who will find the occasional disturbance to their peace to be more than they really want to deal with.

This was my first visit to the Seoul Palace and I was pretty pleased with the overall experience.

This was my first visit to the Seoul Palace and I was pretty pleased with the overall experience. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, although I found the traffic noise from the highway outside to be a little disturbing. The breakfast was very good, if a little pricy (like all hotels in Seoul). The pool was a good size. If I'm honest, I found the location to be a little out of the way from where I needed to be for business at the COEX exhibition centre and meetings around Gangnam station. Be aware that although the hotel is next to the Express Bus Station subway, some of the walking transfer times are quite long, turning a 2-stop ride to Gangnam station into a 30-40 minute journey. A taxi to COEX took between 20-30 mins depending on the traffic. On the plus side, the hotel is a short walk from a lovely low rise area featuring some excellent bars and restaurants.

Seoul is a excellent city to shop! Foods, clothing and cosmetics are at reasonable price. Shops open till 6am in the morning, totally worth to go again!
We ecounter a taxi driver who dropped us in the middle of the street at 11.30pm while I have 2 young children with us in mid-January when temperature is below zero degree outside.
He couldn't find the hotel and stop the car in the middle of the block and told us to go down.
I love Seoul. Not so expensive, great food, and happy people. You will really enjoy this city without burning your cash.
Honestly, I love this city more than London. The food/price makes the difference
This is my 2nd trip to Seoul after 20 years interval, the city has changed a lot, the communication has improved but not yet there.
I find the city confusing, got lost all the time, which is unusual for me.
there are a lot of activities to do in seoul. there are many shopping area many good bar and ppl so kind
Eat and shop in Myeongdong and Gangnam. Travel by the metro everywhere as it is super efficient and cheap.
Basically Korean is for foreigner but has fear to speak to English. public peace is almost perfect. if you drink at 4:00 am and sleep on the road.
maybe your packet will still OK. various food is in Seoul and mostly taste good. but the price is like Europe's one. it's irony. but you can save your money and time with public transportation. bus and metro is so cheap and many lines. You determine to stay only in Seoul. you can move all site with bus and metro, no need use the taxi.
Insadong is where you can experience korean culture. The palaces are interesting attractions. Shopping for masks and BB creams is a must.
Namsangol hanok village itself is an experience. If you were lucky, you may even catch an eye opening taekwondo performance
The nightlife in Seoul is unmatched by any other Asian city. Beautiful people, great vibe - they love to party hard.
Korean are very friendly and eager to help us when we asked for help. Normally, they cannot speak English and Mandarin well but they tried their best to reply us.
Food are excellent (I am are frequent traveler to Seoul as I love their food). But if you want very good local food, there are only Korean menu available.
if you speaks mandarin that's quite convenience nowadays in Korea.
seoul is very electic city. I feel safe travel alone and public transport is very convenient. English might not their first language, but you can easily find tourist helper/ information in almost every subway.
It might be too crowded sometimes
Best for shopping, but if you want to have something outdoor or historical sightseeing, other cities would be better choices.
Bushan and Gyeongju are recommended.
I've only been to Myeondong for shopping but the people are genearlly very nice there and must have the korean BBQ!!!! It is amazing.
Shopping is heaven, if you find good cheap places, but avoid the myondong main shopping street, as they will drag you to buy the cosmetics and facemasks. They tell you it's one of a life time chance of a deal, and you'd feel about good about buying 50 facemasks made out of snails but when you go home, do you really use them???? Overall, great food and great shopping. Recommend for layover stays in transit.
Basically, this is nice city to visit. The only barrier will be the language and the sign are 99% written in Korean language( foreigner will see it as fear and this is really unknown character except to the native)
Higher foreign exchange rates and more food options in Maengdung. Cheaper prices for shopping in Dungdaimun.
GOOD SERVICE, KIND AND MANY AMENTITIES TO ENJOY IN THIS CITY. SHOULD VISIT THIS PLACE IN DIFFERENT WEATHER TIMES.
IN FALL SEASON, RECOMMEND SEORAK MOUNTAIN, WINTER SEASON FOR SKIING, SUMMER AND SPRING SEASONS, SHOULD GO TO BEACH. NIGHT TIME, EVERYWHERE IN SEOUL WOULD BE GREAT ! NAMSAN TOWER IS THE ONE TO VIEW AT NIGHT TIME. FOR SHOPPING, SHOULD GO TO MYEONG DONG, BUYING CLOTHS, SHOULD VISIT DONG DAE MUN, FOR SMALL TRADITIONAL SHOPPING PLACE, NAM DAE MUN TO VISIT.
Hongdae is a very nice place for shoppers with younger children. A lots a good restaurant & food stalls a long the street.
Not so packed as Myeongdong & Dongdaemun
Busy city that never sleeps (shopping mall in Dongdaemun closes at 5am, restaurant operates until late)
Learn some basic Korean however you can still survive with body language as people are generally helpful.
The tax refund is a highlight, better than all Europe countries, fast, advance and convenient.
Transportation is convenient be it by metro/bus/taxi, restaurants are good too, shopping is extremely fun and tax refund is extremely easy, so convenient and fast compare to what I experienced in other countries inclusive of Europe countries.
Mandarin is more common than English in Korea. Shopping, ski, food, nature, historical......etc. All are good.
Great vibrant city with 24 HR restaurants and night life. Great food choices and street food available.
Accessible via trains and subway, buses. Good to know abit of Korean. My daughter could read and speak a little and that helps. If not, can still survive with English and mandarin.
It's such a nice, clean city. It's nice to walk around it without having to worry too much about getting lost or being mugged.
People are generally nice. Some do kind of bump against you sometimes in busy areas, like the subway. Most locals are not very keen with English, so that could be an issue. Even in Western stores sometimes, like say Forever 21, they have staff members who can't understand/speak English. But a lot of them are familiar with English, so it's not too much trouble. Maybe a little bit with the accent, but nothing major. I loved Seoul! Hope to come back soon!
the cosmetic here is very cheap and so many choice. but the older people is kind a rude. other than that it is fun
Clean and modern! Impressive mass transit system. Taxis, Trains, Buses and Subways are easy to use.
Bus service from airport is recommend if your hotel is close by the stops. Always make sure the Taxi drivers use the meter and the GPS to get you to your destination. Ask the Hotel staff to write the destination in Korean and take a hotel card with you for the return trip.
Things are more expensive now. People are less friendly and more restriction for dining. Eg. We need to order minimum 3 dishes for 4 diners even though the diners include children.
We still face some communication barriers at times. Overall pleasant stay.
Seoul is a bustling, evert changing city. The metro is cheap and well connected, the busses are great, and everyone is super helpful.
Lookout of the foreigner only taxi's as well!
Korean people are very welcome and friendly but only few people who speak English. There are many tourist information center that is very usefull for tourist.

More about Seoul
Those looking to experience the city’s culture have much going for them. The highlight here would be Changdeok-gung, a royal palace dating back to 1405 and a World Heritage Site. Between the grand sites are a collection of royal shrines, Buddhist temples, and museums. The DMZ, or de-militarized zone separating North and South Korea, makes for a worthy day-trip as well.
Shopping is undoubtedly available in abundance here. The areas around Insadong Street are some of the most famous in South Korea, offering gift shops, art galleries, and traditional tea shops. Myeong-dong offers up-market shopping amongst a collection of Western-styled hotels. In Gangnam, visitors will find the upscale dining and entertainment venues. This district also boasts the city’s latest shops and hotels.
