HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, convenient. Drawback is lack or inefficiency elevators."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an amazing hotel and we are returning guests for the umpteenth time ! To me , stepping into the hotel makes me feel like I’m home as the staff are so welcoming and helpful always! The rooms are always spick and span too! The only downside is the non-availability of the airport limousine on Saturdays due to the protests and resulting road closure. I wish the hotel may consider providing scheduled shuttle to the nearest airport limousine station which is usually Chosun or The Plaza on such occasions as taxis do not want to ply the short distance from ENA to these hotels. Would be good that the recept stays abreast of updated information on the road closures too so that guests can be kept informed . Otherwise , this hotel is really the best place to stay !"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Typical city hotel, clean and large room. Has coffee place and easy access for taxis and close to train. Great location in myeongdong. Basically a 10 minute walk to anything in area. It has a gym. The staff was very friendly. You can chose either walk in shower or tub shower. Our walk in could use a good cleaning as there was a little mildew but very spacious. You stay there for the location. :)"

Glad Mapo

10/10 Excellent

"we stayed at the glad mapo for 14 days, and we could not fault it. bottled water was added to our fridge everyday, which was great because it was HOT spring weather! the ice machine downstairs was convenient for DIY iced coffee. the 7-11 in-house saved our hungry stomachs! if the standard pillow is too soft you can ask for a memory foam one. it saved my neck and was delivered in 10mins. everyone is so friendly and happy to help. the room was great with 2 single beds. plenty of space to fit all our luggage AND purchases. we were originally concerned about the room temperature but once we realised we could set the aircon, it was fine. i believe the heating is not used in spring, which was completely understandable as it was 27-29°C our entire stay. we will definitely be staying here again. it’s so close to several subway lines and plenty of great places to eat within short walking distance."
