3 star hotels in Seoul

Booked a stay at Habio with a friend. I really appreciate the hotel staff for their excellent service, from the email communication before check-in to the thoughtful arrangements upon arrival – they were all so nice! It takes about 2 hours to get there from Incheon Airport by subway, and KSPO is only about 25 minutes from the hotel, which is super convenient! There are also plenty of great restaurants...

The room is great. Biggest problem with this place is the central heating. In spring, it's 31 degrees. My first night there was horrible. Even after opening the windows and shutting off the heating since 8pm, by 1am the temperature was still 31 degrees. When I approached the night staff, she said she could offer a standing fan for the night, and inform facilities in the morning. The fan helped but...

Great stay overall! The hotel is in a convenient location with easy access to nearby attractions and transport. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Facilities were good and everything worked smoothly during the stay. The check-in and check-out process was quick and hassle-free. Overall, a pleasant and satisfying experience

The hotel was very clean, and the facilities were great. My only complaints are that the room was a bit small (we booked a family room with one large and one small bed), and the breakfast was quite simple.

This hotel is only a block away from The Convention Songpa where we attended our friend’s wedding. It is a bit far from tourist spots in town but it’s on subway line 8. Lotte World Tower and Olympic park are close by. If I come back to Seoul again I probably won’t stay here. Personally I was disappointed with the breakfast. I normally love Korean breakfast but their options were very limited and...

It has everything you need, and the keyless entry is convenient. However, the soundproofing could be better, and the heating is hard to control, making it a bit stuffy.

The hotel is clean and comfortable, and the transportation is convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed there with my friend and everything was fine and clean. But they don’t serve washing supplies (no toothpaste/brush, a bit disappointed cuz the hotel looks very nice.

Highly recommend this place if you're attending a concert at KSPO Dome. Multiple bus lines go directly to the venue, and you won't have to deal with huge crowds when leaving. The dining options nearby aren't great, so I'd suggest eating before you head back. There's a direct bus from Incheon Airport, but getting to Myeongdong takes almost 50 minutes. This hotel is best for those whose main focus is...

Overall, it's pretty good. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit far from the city center, so if you come back late, there's no subway, and you have to take a taxi. There aren't many food options nearby either. Other than that, everything else is great; it's very clean and quiet.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from the subway, a simple business hotel. There are plenty of convenience stores and coffee shops downstairs, making dining very convenient. The hygiene is excellent, and with the underfloor heating, the room doesn't feel too dry.

Located near from small nice stores and local food restaurants. Very comfortable, just renewed and all things are new

It's good for the price. A 5-minute walk from the subway station. There is a coin washing machine, and lotion, toner, cooling oil, foam cleanser, and soap are available next to the check-in counter on the first floor, enhancing the convenience of guests. There's a microwave on the second floor, so it's good for heating frozen food. And I think the Toyoko Inn hotel in Seoul offers the best breakfast

The room size was perfect for one person. The breakfast was very healthy and varied daily. If you don't need cleaning during a consecutive stay, the staff thoughtfully leaves fresh towels and bottled water by your door every day. The front desk also provides facial cleanser and makeup remover upon request.

This is a typical Japanese capsule hotel – everything is compact. The bed is small, the bathtub is small, and once you put your luggage down, there's basically no extra space in the room. What's surprising though, is that despite the small room, the soundproofing is excellent. It was fully booked that day, but the entire floor was very quiet. It's perfectly fine for an overnight stay. They also offer...

A small Japanese hotel in yeungdeungpo area , 5 min walk to singil station. It was a good place for me as I wanted to visit Yeouido park which is only 3 stations away, and line 1 also directly takes me to Seoul station. The room is not too big but not too small either. For solo traveler its more than enough. Main point is, everything was available. Hairdryer , bath tub!!! clothes hanger, face mirror...

Extremely close to Gimpo Airport. It's about a 30-minute subway ride on Line 5, and then a 5-minute walk from Songjeong Station. The hotel itself is a large, prominent building. The front desk on the first floor was very well-organized, and everything was in order. The room was small, and the window view wasn't great as it was too close to another building, but it was clean and had everything I needed...

Hotel was clean but space was limited as Japan style. breakfast was enough to eat. But hall was noisy. location was very good. If you travel with heavy luggage metro station not far. But not to close to elevator. Check in time is 15pm is too late. Check out time 10am too early for me.

Towels had holes and were rough. Bins were not lined not sure if clean. Linens were not changed daily when we stayed for 6 nights and there were marks on the pillowcase. Location was alright, near many cafes and bakeries and bbq. Convenience store right opposite. Mammoth Coffee across the road was cheap and good. Walkable to the subway. Service was responsive but not outstanding, befitting a 3 star...

My favorite hotel is ibis. Clean, comfortable ❤️Love this place

I love this hotel with their sincere hospitality, the tall gentlemen at the service desk checked me in and gave me a room although the official check in supposed at 2pm. the location is perfect with just a few mins walk from the sub way station which makes it easy to travel around. Staffs are superb and friendly. Would certainly stay here for my next trip to Seoul.

I had a pleasant stay at Ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong. Upon check-in, I requested to change my room from a twin to a double, and the staff were very accommodating and handled it smoothly, which I really appreciated. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The hotel’s location is also a big plus, convenient and well-situated for exploring the area. Overall, a great experience with helpful service...

My room was clean and comfortable. Hotel is conveniently located and many places are accessed by foot. Best part was walking out of the hotel in the morning and sneaking into narrow pass to Ikseon Dong Hanok village with many beautiful cafes.

The room was tiny, way too small for two suitcases. The price and overall environment didn't match what I'd expect from the Ibis brand. On the plus side, the location is convenient for getting around, with easy access to the metro station.

Great location! There's an Olive Young and McDonald's right downstairs. Within about 300 meters, there are many streets with plenty of restaurants. The hotel is clean and easy to find. The front desk staff was very friendly and even let us check in around 2 PM when we arrived.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Stay at Roynet Hotel Mapo — Great Location & Wonderful Upgrade! We had a fantastic stay at Roynet Hotel Mapo during our family trip to Seoul. The location near Mapo/Gongdeok station is absolutely perfect — easy access to the subway made exploring the city effortless, from Gyeongbokgung Palace to Hongdae and Myeongdong. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to...

My sister and I stayed here for three nights during our trip to Korea. The room was small, and there was no trash can in the bathroom, only tiny ones under the sink and in the room. On our third night, we were packing until 2:30 AM when we noticed a bug crawling on the sheets, sort of like a small centipede. It was too late, and we were worried about the language barrier, so we used alcohol spray and...

The transportation is incredibly convenient; there's a direct shuttle bus from the airport. Plus, there are quite a few shops right downstairs, which is really handy. The room also has outlets, so you don't even need an adapter – super convenient!

The front desk staff member was a bit rude. If you ask for early or late check-out, they'll always charge you extra. Other than that, everything else was generally pretty good. The coffee in the lobby was delicious.

The room was great! The lights gradually brightened after inserting the key card. Our window faced the main street, but it wasn't noisy at all at night. Unfortunately, the exhaust fan in the bathroom couldn't be turned off. It's a standard Japanese-style separated toilet and shower, which is nice. However, I was disappointed to find forgotten items from a previous guest in the wardrobe on arrival....

Nice rooftop restaurant. But sauna was disappointing. Rooms were clean and nice scented.

The room is really big and comfortable, especially the bathroom, is a must-try item. String suggested and will come again next time.

The view outside is beautiful.

The front desk staff were very friendly and could speak a little Chinese, which was a nice touch. The room was also very clean.

You can find the convenient store in the lobby, which is so good for staying. The view from the room is great also.

The room is great for everything. The view is fantastic. I could see sunrise from my room. We have a deluxe room with the spa bathtub that has a window to see the nice view. They have breakfast provided with additional charge. 15000 won per person.

The place is very near to coex mall and have convenience store at the basement so it is very nice place

Overall, my stay was quite pleasant. The hotel's location is super convenient, with plenty of dining options and easy access to public transport, which made getting around a breeze. The room itself was clean and tidy, well-designed with a comfortable bed. The soundproofing was decent enough for a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient during both check-in and check-out...

Clean, tidy, and hygienic, it felt great! The staff were very welcoming and the location is excellent with convenient transportation, close to the subway station. I'd recommend it to friends if they need a place to stay.

The room was a bit small but clean and tidy. The breakfast was good. The location is in the city center, which is great for business trips.

Really small hotel, and the room upgrade didn't happen. The location is just so-so, a bit far from the subway station.

I stayed at the Ibis Gangnam Hotel and was very satisfied with my experience. The guests seemed happy with the service, and the hotel’s convenient location near COEX Exhibition Hall made it easy to attend business meetings and events. Overall, it’s a great choice for business travelers.

The hotel is centrally located in Gangnam. The room was a bit small, but impeccably clean. The facilities were comprehensive and comfortable. However, there was a fair amount of street noise at night.

The hotel is directly opposite the exhibition center, which was super convenient to walk to. The bed was big enough, though the room itself was definitely small. On the bright side, the shower had great water pressure! Just remember to bring your own toothbrush.

The location is convenient for getting around, with a subway station right downstairs. I also want to give a shout-out to the cleaning lady – she was so thoughtful! Every day when we returned to the hotel after work, seeing our messy clothes on the bed neatly folded made us so happy. Many thanks!

The room was spotless and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Although the room wasn't huge, the separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom were a great touch. The location is super convenient, right by Exit 1 of Metro Line 2. I'd read some reviews complaining about the staff's attitude, but I honestly didn't experience that at all.

The hotel's location is excellent; the subway is right downstairs, making travel super convenient, and there's a mall directly across the street. However, the room is quite small—I couldn't even open my large suitcase properly.

Stayed for two nights and didn't expect the room to be cleaned, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the bed freshly made when I returned on the second evening! The hotel's location is also very convenient, with a direct bus connection.

It was convenience near by Myeongdong 2min. walk and between Airport bus no. 6015. there was everyday cleaning the room. There are Wasing machine room. We can deposit and went to Ski resort. Thank you Hotel management understanding.

The hotel's location is excellent. The Incheon 6015 airport bus stops right outside the door, and Lotte Duty Free is directly across the street. There's also a night market and tons of shops nearby. The only odd thing was that my charging cable from home wouldn't work, even with an adapter. It just didn't seem to be compatible. In the end, the hotel staff kindly provided their own cable for me to charge...

The hotel's location is excellent. It takes about an hour and a half to get here from Incheon on the 6015 bus, and it's just a short walk from the bus stop. The front desk had a young man who spoke excellent Chinese and was very patient and attentive. For the price, it's a great place to stay, and it's also very quiet. It's right next to Lotte, which is incredibly convenient. A taxi to Gangnam takes...

The room was clean and tidy, the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, and the subway station was close by, which was super convenient.

The location is super convenient, the room was clean and tidy, and the front desk service was excellent. We were able to store our luggage before check-in, which made it easy to go shopping at Lotte Mart across the street. We also enjoyed exploring the night market in the evening. A very pleasant stay overall!

The hotel is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of Myeongdong's shopping district, directly across from Lotte Department Store. Transportation is incredibly convenient with a subway station just a short walk away. There are also tons of restaurants nearby, including the popular HBC fried chicken. It's really excellent for shopping, dining, and getting around.

The transportation is incredibly convenient; the 6001 airport bus drops you off right across the street, and it's just a few minutes' walk to the subway. The hotel front desk staff are very welcoming and speak Chinese, which is really friendly for us Chinese travelers. The hotel seems to have been recently renovated, as the rooms feel quite new. The only minor downsides are that the beds are smaller...

Skygarden Hotel Dongdaemun I is in a great location, making it super convenient for sightseeing and shopping. It's just a 5-minute walk from Exit 6 of Subway Line 4. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores around, so dining is easy. The hotel itself is elegant and comfortable. The front desk staff speaks Chinese, which makes communication a breeze, and they're very friendly. The rooms...

The hotel is incredibly close to the subway, which is super convenient. The room is a bit small, but it's fully functional. It's perfectly fine if you just need a place to sleep at night. Check-in is fully self-service and very easy, but I didn't receive any bottled water during my stay (not sure if I needed to specifically ask the front desk for it). There are many convenience stores nearby, making...

Overall, everything was great. The hotel room was spacious and comfortable. The staff at the front desk were very kind and friendly. Housekeeping cleaned the room every day. The hotel has coin-operated washing machines and dryers, as well as a microwave, which is very convenient . Bathroom amenities are provided. For toothbrushes and toothpaste, you can get them from the hotel’s vending machine...

The location near Dongdaemun is super convenient for getting around, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby too.

Very good, nice room, and convenient transportation. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I visit in the future. The uncle at the front desk who speaks Chinese is really nice, giving him a big thumbs up! 👍

Facilities: Okay Cleanliness: Okay Environment: Okay

Had a wonderful stay! The location is fantastic—very convenient and close to everything. The service was excellent, with staff who were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Would definitely come back again!

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! Downstairs, there's a fried chicken place, a convenience store, and an Olive Young (a popular Korean health and beauty store). It's the perfect distance to head back and relax after a meal, or drop off your shopping bags and continue exploring. The room facilities are comprehensive, and the front desk offers luggage storage. Check-in was quick and easy...

The hotel's location is excellent, right behind the Myeongdong Apple Store. You can take the elevator on the right side of the Apple Store up to the 9th floor for check-in. Olive Young and Lululemon are next door, and there are tons of restaurants right behind the hotel, which is super convenient. It's also very close to Euljiro Station on Subway Line 2. The bathroom in this room type is quite spacious...

The only and biggest upside is its convenient location. However, the room had a really unpleasant, strong odor. There was an air purifier in the room, but the hotel didn't turn it on beforehand. Even after turning it on later, it didn't help reduce the smell.

The room was very clean and was tidied up daily without us even asking. Check-in at the front desk was super smooth, and there were no language barriers, which was a huge plus. The location is absolutely fantastic – right in the heart of Myeongdong's bustling area as soon as you step out, and really close to Lotte and Shinsegae department stores.

The room was clean, well-lit and spacious. The location was near to many restaurants and convenience stores, including a walking distance to Seogwipo Olle Market. The staff were friendly and courteous. And they have a parking space, perfect for those travelling with rental cars. Highly recommend.

The environment is great and the location is super convenient. The staff were very patient and I didn't feel any discrimination. The airport shuttle bus stop is also nearby, which is a huge plus. There's a whole street of restaurants behind the hotel, perfect for grabbing some delicious pork bone soup on a cold winter day!

I had a nice stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient and close to the subway. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Good value for the price. I would stay here again. 👌😍

The location is quite convenient, just a two to three-minute walk from the subway station. There are many restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and malls nearby, making life very easy. The room isn't small, the bathroom is quite spacious, and the hygiene is good. All the Korean front desk staff are very friendly, but there was one female staff member who spoke Chinese whose attitude wasn't very good...

A really great hotel with an excellent location. The underfloor heating kept it very warm in winter, and you can also use the air conditioning. The front desk service was exceptionally thoughtful, and there was a mini-fridge with water in the room. Very good.

Not bad. It was suitable for me and my friend, with one large bed and one slightly smaller one, which was fine. The location of GMS is also okay, not far from the subway and train station. The front desk offers Chinese service, and English communication is also smooth. There are no toiletries like toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own.

Every time I go to Korea, I stay at this hotel. Firstly, it's very convenient, but most importantly, I feel very safe there. The room isn't huge, but it has everything you need. The breakfast is also plentiful. There's a 7-Eleven and a CU right next door and across the street, and plenty of dining options nearby.

First off, the service was genuinely excellent. Since it was cold winter weather, they thoughtfully gave me an extra room card, saying it would ensure the room stayed warm. The room itself was comfortable, especially the pillows, which made it easy to fall asleep. However, the only drawback was that the air conditioner, possibly due to its age, made a constant noise, making it hard to sleep. Since...

Loved the onsen and free food (though the time for the soba was quite short)! Wouldn’t recommend taking airport bus in the evening as we got stuck in peak hour traffic for 2.5 hours. Thankfully our flight was delayed.

Hotel clean close metro station And Gangnam Only problem check out 11. Last time extra hour free while this year each hour extra charges Not flexible anymore I have 23 pm Flight not nice

The environment was comfortable and clean, and the front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming. The large public bath on B1 was incredibly relaxing after a long day. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try breakfast, but I'll definitely be back next time.

Great for families! The onsen is an added value to the hotel especially after tons of walking during the day and be back with the hot bath ton relax. Not forgetting the daily 9-1030pm complimentary ramen supper after the hot bath with free ice cream! Complimentary coffee tea services are available at the hotel lobby too! Very polite experience staffs! I will stay again!

Conveniently located right next to Dongdaemun Design Plaza Station, easily accessible by airport bus and subway! It's a Japanese-style hotel, so it's impeccably clean, but the rooms are small. Disposable toiletries (excluding toothbrushes and toothpaste) are available for self-service in the lobby. Simple Korean breakfast is provided.

Hotel room had enough space for one person. Very close from the subway station. So convenient and cozy room.

Super convenient from the station, you just take exit 4 & it’s just around the corner!! This hotel is in a location where nobody sleeps. Perfect for late night owls with a lot of shopping till the morning. Quiet too. Breakfast was simple but great. Room is small but cosy. I enjoyed my stay here.

Nice, exactly like the one I stayed at in Tokyo. Just a long wait for the elevator when checking out in the morning.

Very clean and clear. Very convenient to go everywhere, it's next to the subway exit.

The room was clean and comfortable, with soft bedding and excellent facilities. The service was warm and attentive, with quick responses to requests. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, offering great value for money. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is in an excellent location, right in the heart of Myeongdong, making it very convenient for shopping, dining, and transportation. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay.

The room was small and a staff was rude to my dad, who has communication difficulties. Breakfast was okay.

Advertised as Chinese-friendly, but it's really not. No one here speaks Chinese. I booked a deluxe twin room but got a standard twin, which was really small. However, it's conveniently located right across from Lotte Duty Free.

This hotel is incredibly convenient. Lotte Duty Free is right across the street, and its basement floor has a great selection of food. In the evenings, there's a row of street food stalls just across the side road, and Myeongdong is just a short walk further in. The location is absolutely fantastic!

Very good, convenient location, heating available, excellent service, and guaranteed quality.

The location of the hotel is very convenient and very near to lotte department store. The room is clean but abit small. Overall, had a comfortable stay.

The location, staff and service was very good. And the only thing should consider is food in the breakfast was not enough warm. Some dishes were cold.

Its good hotel ane decent and budget friendly. Only downside during winter is probably heating a/c besides that its budget friendly good hotel

The room is very spacious and the amenities are comprehensive. It also looks comfortable. Highly recommended for a stay, and it's very close to Dongdaemun.

My friends booked a quad room for our trip. The bathroom was very small, but the room itself was quite spacious, simple, and clean. The staff at the front desk were very friendly. The price was a bit high during the holidays, but it would be fine on regular days.

The hotel's location is excellent; it's situated between two subway stations, very close to the Dongmen Wholesale Market, and the airport shuttle stop is also nearby. The front desk staff are very proactive and greet guests warmly.

The location of the hotel is really good, easy access to many popular attractions. Our triple room is quite big, clean and comfortable beds. The only downside is that no washing machine or self service laundry service in the hotel, which is commonly found in most hotels nowadays.

Great location, really close to the metro station. The hotel is well-equipped, our room even had a smart toilet and a bathtub, and it was spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Taxis were always available within 5 minutes. I'd definitely stay here again! Highly recommend it!

I had a wonderful stay at MD Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making my stay very relaxing.

The hotel rooms are bright and comfortable, and the overall hygiene is clean and tidy. The front desk staff are very friendly. There's a convenience store and a coffee shop right in the lobby on the first floor. The location is excellent, but it's a bit of a walk to the subway station, about 1 kilometer away.

The room was very clean and odorless, and the space wasn't small at all. It's perfectly suitable for a single person or a couple. Plus, being able to order food delivery right to the door at night is super convenient.

The room was very clean, but the bathroom was a bit too transparent for my liking. Getting around by bus was convenient, but the metro was a bit far. There's a currency exchange machine downstairs, and you can even order food to your room. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby.

Its a little far from most attractions but I really enjoyed staying here (3 nights). Very clean, large bed, bathroom... had a restful weekend here. Ill def come here again if I need a reasonable priced comfortable hotel.

Very close to train station. Near to many restaurants. Walking distance like about 7min to 明洞. 5 min walking distance to city hall train station. 10min walking instance to palace.. I feel that this hotel is super convenient. But toilet too small.. overall ok

Had a lovely stay at New Seoul Hotel. The staff were extremely helpful, especially when we were finding our way around Seoul (The second picture the staff printed out the ways for us to get to Elysian Ski Park 🥺). The hotel is clean and comfortable, and the doorman and cleaners always greeted us warmly, which made our mornings better. The price is reasonable for the location, and Myeongdong is just...

The location is super convenient! The 6701 airport bus takes you directly there, and it's about a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong. You can also easily walk to all the attractions in the pictures below. Very close and convenient. The hotel facilities are pretty standard, but the hygiene is good.

I like the location and that there's a cafe on the first floor. Rooms are nice too. However the hotel is currently renovating and extremely annoying during the day. I would avoid this hotel from Jan 2026 to April 2026 (maybe for even longer as renovations often are extended).

The place was clean and well-furnished, with all necessary facilities and amenities. The bellhop was friendly and enthusiastic in helping us. The receptionist was polite and entertained late requests. This is the second time I have booked this place.

The hotel's location is super convenient, right around the corner from City Hall subway station, and the airport shuttle bus stop is only about 100 meters away. Picture 6071 shows the travel time from the hotel to the airport for reference; it costs 18,000 KRW. The last bus from the airport departs at 10:30 PM. The hotel's condition is pretty standard; slippers are provided, but they're not disposable...

This is such a good hotel, with convenient stores nearby. The staff are really nice and freindly.

Regular stay @ Peyto. Clean Room. Airport Limousine bus is front of hotel entrance. There is direct buses to Myeongdong.

All good Location the best Service was great Just a bit tiny the room not so spacious

I was given an end room which was smaller than other rooms, and the Wi-Fi was consistently bad.

Peyto Gangnam was affordable and good for solo travellers. But don’t expect much from the service. I’ve stayed in Glad Hotel which was in a similar price range and that was better in my honest opinion!

room is ok but not large. shower good . breakfast OK but not that variety . location is good and at walking dista to subway and many many bars and restaurants bus to Incheon just in front of the hotel . there is a gym and washing machine services along with laundry service . it is a convenient hotel ..

A little old but, clean, nice breakfasts but reception is useless- cant solve any problem, week at english. We was leaving early and ask about any juice or sandwiches instead of breakfasts that we will lost beacuse of early leaving - impossible. We've lost 6x breakfasts, first hotel without any food packages.

The room is old, the facilities are also old, and the decoration looks old. The hygiene is OK, public transportation is inconvenient, and if you call a taxi in advance, there are not many drivers who accept the order.

Accessibility was good, the parking lot was large so it was easy to park, and the bedding was comfortable. However, it was disappointing that the facility was a bit old and OTT service was not available.

It's an old facility, but it's well maintained, so it's okay for a business trip.

Overall solid hotel experience - nothing fancy, but also not lacking in any meaningful way. Stayed 5 nights for a work conference. The location is nothing special, but it’s a short walk to some restaurants/ bars and the metro. The forest/greenery in the immediate area is quite nice, and there’s a lovely river walk accessible nearby too. Closest area I’d recommend spending more time in is Gangnam ...

It was really good hotel to stay if you want to have good rest. Beautiful garden, birds chirping in the morning, clean air Really quiet in the morning Only con - it is a bit far from subway station
