Beautiful 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.

Such a lovely stay!”

I felt especially compelled to leave a review after reading some of the other reviews prior to my booking (: Perhaps the hotel has upgraded since, but the staff were extremely friendly and spoke English very well. The room was also exceptionally clean and spacious with housekeeping done daily! The location was very convenient, close to two stations and central to Myeongdong- you just have to be careful when first finding the entrance as it is clearly labeled, but many may think that it is the first one they see. Overall, wonderful hotel and I would definitely stay here again on my future visit! Thank you Hotel Gracery Seoul (:

Exceptional service, cleanliness, location, Best for this price in Seoul!”

Having to read so many great reviews about Hotel Gracery. My family and I decided to give this a try and did not regret any second of it. It is located right in the popular food lanes in Cityhall and it's a walking distance (10mins) to Myeongdong, if you want to- 20 to 30mins walk to Gyeongbokgung! It's one stop away from Seoul station and a good junction for train travelers. It comes with full amenities, bathtub and shower place, toilet is separately. Small lounging area and bedroom :) For a basic price and bedroom type, I could not ask for more. The staffs were really helpful during my stay too, Highly highly recommended.

New, clean and good location”

Quite new hotel, very clean as expected for a japanese brand hotel, very good location. Provided complete toiletries. Airport bus stop is in front of the hotel. Walking distance to Namdaemun market, Deoksugung palace, Gwanghwamun Sq, Gyeongbukgung and Bukchon. Plenty of eating places and coffee shops nearby. As we stayed with a toddler they provided bed guard at no extra cost. Staff are helpful but lacks a bit of warmth towards guests. Will definitely stay in Hotel Gracery Seoul again.

Great clean hotel near Myeongdong area in Seoul”

Hotel Gracery Seoul is a great little hotel located on the 11th floor and above of a modern building. It’s about a 5 minute walk to Myeongdong shopping area and the staff is very helpful. It’s a quick walk to the 1 metro line (city hall stop) and you can walk a few minutes to find one of the walking Seoul sidewalk placards and then walk fairly easily to several landmarks (palaces, gates, temples. I would stay here again.

EXCELLENT LOCATION!”

Hotel Gracery Seoul’s location is very convenient as it’s just around a 5 minute walk away from City Hall subway station. I highly suggest to take a bus to get to the hotel if you’re coming from Incheon airport. The ticket price is just 15,000 KRW. And the hotel is just a couple of steps away from the bus stop. There’s a convenient store and a Starbucks located beside the hotel for your coffee or midnight snack fix. There are also a lot of restaurants around the hotel. Will definitely book here again when we go back to Seoul!

2min to Namdaemun Market”

Stayed here for a couple of nights as I wanted to stay near the Myeongdong area. It was a great location and it's only about a 10-12 mins walk to Myeong-dong shopping area and the Namdaemun Market and Great South Gate is just 2 mins walk away. The closest train station is City Hall station which is about 4-5mins walk. The room was very spacious and clean and even a spearate toilet in the room and not in the bathroom like it usually is in other hotels rooms. Being close to the traditional market was great if you want to try out local street food. There is also the Namdaemun underground shopping for mainly crafts, but if you're a kpop or kdrama fan there are a few shops here which have different merch than what you can find in the Myeongdong underground shopping. I got some great mugs and socks here of my favourite kdrama idols!

Newly opened hotel”

The hotel is very new and very nice under Japanese chain. However, the entrance is not very visible enough if looking from the main road plus the lobby is located on 11th fl. The facilities and gadgets are very well equipped. They provide you with USB ports and the cables for you. The lighting and temp control panel is also in multi languages. They even provide air purifier in the room for you. One thing that the hotel should include in the homepage is how to travel from airport to the hotel via airport bus (#6005) since the stop is right in front of the hotel (Fraser Place/Hotel Gracery Namdaemun). There is a famous pork BBQ restaurant Hanam pig (1 min walk) that you should visit.

Hotel signboard is not obvious engouh”

Gracery is a good location hotel. But the hotel signboard is not obvious engouh. Especially no signage to indicate the lobby at 11 floor. The security guard who sitting next to the hotel is so pathetic. Everyone inquired him for the check in counter. I suggest you should put up a clear indication signage at the entrance. The roof top back ground and the signboard color no different. It should be bigger with lights. Overall the room is excellent with city view. Convenient easy access to all famous markets and malls.

Good location and very clean”

Reception is on the 11th floor Walking distance to Namdaemun(5 minutes) and Myeong-dong(15 minutes) Good English speaking front desk staff The map given was a great help There’s a 24-hour convenience store just right next to the hotel A note to all is to get ready the addressed the hotel in Korean if you’re taking a taxi there

Very good”

I am happy and satisfied with the stay in Hotel Gracery. Staff is friendly and helpful, and I even get some small sample skin care from the hotel. I like the design of a separate toilet and bathroom, so one can still go to toilet while the other person is taking shower. Additional point for the hotel is they even provide aroma bath powder for you to enjoy a bath in the hotel room. Further, there is a convenient store located just next to the hotel, so your supper or last minute shopping for cup noodle or snacks are easy! and there is also a starbucks next to the hotel as well. I am so happy for my wise decision for choosing Hotel Gracery. Last but not least, there are restaurants with just 1 minute walk from the hotel. and the most important one is the hotel is not far from myeongdong, Shinsegae and Lotte Shopping Mall.

Wonderful stay ”

The hotel is clean and staff members are very polite and helpful. Myeong-dong is about a 10 minute walk away, which could seem a bit far when it gets freezing cold (- 10 degree) . Other times, I believe it should be a pleasant distance.

New hotel at good location”

The hotel is well situated right next to gourmet alley meaning rows of restaurants. Some opens late into the night. We didn’t have any problem finding good food. Around the corner and across the street is Namdaemun market where we could get fresh fruit at almost half the price of fruit selling at Myeongdong. The location is great and not touristy. We could get to a subway station within 5-min walk. It also seems that the hotel has laundry facilities onsite. Although we didnt use it this time, we know it would come in handy for those who choose to stay here after arriving in seoul from another city. We will definitely stay here again.

Overall a Good Hotel”

I stayed in this hotel for 10 days and I must say I am quite satisfied. Locationwise the Hotel is very good. Yes the rooms might be smaller than American Hotels but as this is Asia it is pretty okay. For a solo traveler I highly recommend this place as it has everything you need in the hotel, they clean the room daily and they re stock anything from the room that is missing daily. Myeongdong is 15 minutes walk, seoul station is easy to get if you're planning to travel in the KTX, and there is a convinience store in the first floor of the hotel. I would definetly stay again in this hotel for my next visit to Korea.

Clean, Great Location and Friendly Staff. ”

The room is clean as photo shown. Everything is well maintained. Once you scan the access card, you can enter your floor without pressing the button. consider good security as people can not simply access your floor if they are not living there. Aroma bath powder is provided, so you can enjoy a very relaxing hot bath after a long day in Seoul. Water can adjust up to 40deg celcius which is like the pool in jijimbang! nice :) A very short walking distance to cityhall station and surrounded by restaurants and convenient mart. The staffs are friendly and willing to help to call taxi to airport for us. Highly recommended. One suggestion for them to improve is the pillow. Not thick enough for me.

As good as expected Japan standard”

Have some stays in Japan Gracery hotel and Grocery seoul as good as expected. Clean quiet comfortable

Clean hotel with good location”

The hotel is very clean and near to 2 subway lines. We can walk to myeong dong and namdaemun. The view from the room is very nice.

Love the room, location and friendly staffs. It is a new hotel. ”

+ short walking distance to City Hall subway station, restaurants, shopping, underground shopping, night markets. Near airport bus stop but recommend Seoul Private Driver if you come in group. + room is very clean, roomy for us, has quiet AC, humidifier fast wifi, bidet. +beautiful staffs always smile and helpful. They stored our luggages few hours after we checked out. - the pillows have beads inside and we are not use to them. Recommend Pho Ha 's bun cha gio and rice dishes (near Ewha Women University) Change $ in Seoul and get better rate than at the airport

Great place!”

The double room we've got is a real value for money. First time in years that I was able to use the comforter provided without experiencing itchiness. The toiletries fully replenished each day. Love the smell of the liquid body soap and the Seisuika spray provided. The staff are all efficient and we are thankful for the male front desk officer (forgot his name) who made sure we leave in time for our flight. Location wise- near to almost all places you've got to see in Seoul. Walking distance at the most--- Nandaemum and Myeongdong, City hall and Namsan Tower at the other side. Had some minor problems with the toilet bowl which was immediately addressed to by the staff. Size wise-- a bit compact. No space for big luggages The closet could be a bit bigger.

Clean, comfortable and functional”

Great location, opposite Namdaemun market, and within 7 minutes walk to Myeongdong. Commuting by metro and bus is not a problem at all. Bus is preferred as there are a few bus stops nearby and buses go to the major places of attraction (Google Maps helps as well). There are some really good restaurants right outside the hotel. There is a Korean BBQ place at the junction that is really good. The room itself is small, but clean, comfortable and functional. Because it's a small room, there are some tweaks to the room design/furnishing, e.g. the sink is outside the bathroom, the WC is a separate cubicle, the ironing board is a mini-sized one, there is no study table but only two (comfortable) chairs and a coffee table. However, everything that we need is there, except for shower cap (hotel does not provide). Price is very reasonable and competitive. Check-in/out at Level 11 which is not a problem. Hotel does not provide complimentary late check out - it is chargeable by the hour.
