3 star hotels in Seoul

Calm and good to stay after long trip, also convenient to reach to any place in Seoul, specially to the airports.

First off, all rooms face the Han River, offering absolutely top-notch views of the World Cup Bridge, the stadium, and even the Yeouido CBD skyline in the distance. It's only a five-minute walk from Saltpond Station on Line 9, which is quite convenient, and there's an airport bus stop right outside. The hotel's facilities show some age, but it's clear they've undergone some renovations. Inside, it...

The room was quite spacious, but the location was a bit average. Downstairs, apart from a coffee shop and convenience store, there weren't many restaurant options. The hotel bathtub didn't have a shower curtain, so water splashed everywhere when showering. Also, the female receptionist always seemed to have a sour expression on her face.

Niagara Hotel is located in less touristy Yeomchang, which is an amazing neighbourhood. There are two convenience stores in the vicinity of the hotel, and a Starbucks right across the road. Coffee shops and local eateries galore along the streets. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom had a bidet-type toilet which was comfortable to use. The receptionists were kind and could communicate in...

I went out and when I came back, the door was latched from the inside. I had to wait outside for 30 minutes. So tired. 😔

The hotel isn’t much closed to subway but not too far for walking. Location is nice, closed to the park and water so it gives good vibes and views. Room was clean and necessary amenities were given. Staff was nice.

Clean and nice hotel that is very convenient

Lovely Boutque hotel with quirky decor and great in room facilities (with a bath tub room). Easy walk to Red Road and the subway. Far enough away from the late night areas to not keep you up. In floor heating worked well, bed was comfortable and the bath recieved daily use and was suitable for two people to soak as it was quite deep. Would stay there again.

Overall the room and location was fine, tucked in a quiet corner along Hongdae, one of the busiest areas around. Yet the room was far from clean, greasy floor not sure why. That’s was the downfall

near station and more shops…

The location is pretty good, and everything else is decent too.

We loved the hotel for its location and ambiance, it was charming boutique-style stay in close proximity to supermarkets, a few halal restaurants, and lively shopping streets full of young people. The lobby is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. One front desk staff went above and beyond to help with our room issue. We didn’t get her name, but we’re truly grateful for her hospitality...

Good service good location near airport bus station easy to walk

There’s a strong smell of sewer coming from the bathroom. The receptionist was not so nice, and looked grumpy. But plus points to the cleaners who are friendly and hardworking.

The hotel is clean, no chair provided. Resonable price in Myeongdong. My air conditioner can't distribute cooled air, just heated air came out which I don't know whether it is normal or not. Just little not comfort for me but the overall quite good!

The location is great, the room is not too small but not too big. I really like this location, it's very convenient when you want to reach to the transportation and it's just 500 meters to Myeongdong night market.

The main draw is definitely the location. It's right across from Lotte, and the hotel shares a building with a Haidilao hot pot, so it's always lively. Myeongdong is literally right downstairs. The room was super mini, but again, you're paying for the location.

The room was really small, but the bathroom was quite spacious. For the price, the hotel's location in Myeongdong is absolutely fantastic. I arrived around 11 PM to check in, and the middle-aged man at the front desk had a terrible, truly awful attitude – he was impatient the entire time.

Short walk from subway station. Conveniences stores just round the corner. Many eateries nearby. Complimentary breakfast provided for the first morning.

Good size for solo travellers. Very near Dongmyo Station Exit 3 and bus stop. Alot of eateries around too. Only issue is toilet has no separation from showering, toilet area and sink. Water keeps leaking out of the toilet door :( Otherwise had a really comfortable stay!

I love the bed as it is very comfortable, room is very clean, walking distance to subway and staff are very friendly Definitely will stay again next time

The hotel's location is super convenient. The 6002 airport bus takes you directly to Dongmyo Station, which is just a short walk away. There's also a subway station nearby and convenience stores. However, the hotel breakfast is mostly Western-style pastries or instant noodles, not much variety, so I'd recommend eating out.

Fare size room for my family of 4. Friendly checked and location is great. Surrounded by lots of restaurants and shopping

These past two days weren't as good as the previous ones. The pipes in this room type kept making noise, and it was much louder than before, even with earplugs. When I checked in, I found the faucet was broken; there was almost no cold water, just a few drops. Turning it to the middle only gave scalding hot water, not lukewarm. I had to use the shower for washing up. I told the front desk, but since...

The hotel's hygiene and service are quite good, and it offers great value for money. It's located right in Myeongdong, with Shinsegae and Lotte Department Stores just outside, making shopping incredibly convenient. If I come to Seoul again, I'll definitely stay here.

Service was great, we managed to obtain early check in as our room was ready. Location is in the hearts of Myeondong. Walk out either left or right will be the market. McDonald is located opposite of the hotel. Overall, we love the experience at DAYS hotel.

1. The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient to get to Shinsegae Department Store, and it's also very close to the subway station. 2. The front desk service at the hotel is good, and their English is excellent, so communication was seamless. 3. The downside is: the air conditioning temperature couldn't go up. It's been very cold in Korea recently, with snow, and I caught a cold after...

Although it was renovated in '25, the hotel still feels a bit old. The front desk service was excellent. The room is a bit small, just enough for one suitcase; two would be a tight squeeze. There's no exhaust fan in the bathroom. There were only three breakfast options, but they tasted good.

2 min walk away from myeondong shopping street. Easily accessible via Exit 5, 6 (staircase to metro station) and exit 7 (escalator to metro station). Isaac toast just right beside the hotel. Location is so good that we can shop at myeongdong and then bring the shopping bags to our room and then shop more.

This hotel boasts an excellent location. Right behind it is Myeongdong Walking Street, which is bustling at night with plenty of street food options. Namsan Park and Seoul Tower are just across the street, less than a 10-minute walk away. Downstairs, within dozens of meters, you'll find bus stops and a subway station, making transportation very convenient. The hotel's breakfast dining area is pleasant...

For the price great hotel. There was construction going on but did not impact our stay. Room was of good size with fridge washing machine. But there was no clothe washing supplies or cutlery. Great location with multiple stations within 10 minute walk. Staff very helpful!

This is my second time staying at Morning Sky Hotel and it’s totally recommended👍🏻 If you’re looking for accommodation near Myeongdong that’s not too crowded or noisy, this is hotel is a great choice. The neighborhood is quiet, convenient location (just 3 mins walk to bus stop & airport bus), nearest subway is line 2 (major line to Hongdae or Seongsu) and it’s just 3 stops away from Myeongdong by bus...

What to say besides «thank you», I stayed there for 10 days for my first solo trip at only 20 years old! Having stayed in this hotel has contributed to the beauty of my trip. The location was just great, it is near the subways, it is located in small streets quite quiet but is still close to the living areas like Myeongdong or Dongdaemun. . In addition, it has a 7eleven right next to it which is super...

I had the best experience as a solo traveler! Staff is very helpful and I felt really comfortable staying in this hotel!

Though small, it has everything you need. The two beds were a bit cramped, but the fridge and microwave setup was great. The hotel front desk staff were very welcoming, and they responded even when contacted late at night. There's an airport shuttle stop about a 10-minute walk away, but parking was a bit inconvenient.

We arrived in winter and were worried it would be cold, but the hotel was very warm and comfortable. The bed and mattress were incredibly comfortable, and the hotel was in a great location. They also cleaned our room every day and were always friendly. Thank you! P.S. I only took pictures of the view from the window

Very convenient location, there's a subway station nearby and an Olive Young.

If toilet can be together with bathroom, it would be much better

Nice locations and friendly staff. The fitness room is a bit small but they offer free coffee, which tastes decent. Recommend this place to those who want to stay in a nice location at a decent price.

Got upgraded to a top-floor room, but the amenities were pretty average.

Spotlessly clean, great location, and well-equipped.

Good location. Not bad but okay to stay la. So far so good only.

The hotel's location is a good 15 minutes walking distance to the myeongdong street & for us it was an easy walk, just need to go through a train station. Love that there's a weighing scale at the lobby so we can check our luggage weight before our trip to the airport to avoid any overweight issues. The staff is also helpful when we asked how to take the busses to the airport. The room is nice, clean...

The room was more spacious than I expected, and the bathroom layout was practical. The location is excellent. I'd definitely stay here again on my next trip to Korea. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Euljiro 1-ga Station (Line 2), and a 10-minute walk to both Shinsegae and Lotte Department Stores. Myeongdong is just a 7-minute walk away.

The room was very clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful. The two gentlemen at the front desk were great – they helped us with a taxi and our luggage. The hotel is also super convenient for both the Line 2 subway and Myeongdong Walking Street.

Every time I visit Myeongdong, this is my go-to hotel. The location is super convenient – Lotte Duty Free and Myeongdong are just diagonally across the street, and it's close to the subway station (exits 1 and 2, and they have an elevator, which is a big plus!). This time I chose a triple room with friends, and it was quite spacious. The front desk offers free maps and tourist guides. All in all, it...

The room isn't huge, but it's definitely big enough. The environment is quite nice; I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit. The hygiene is great; it's cleaned daily, and there's a fridge. The service is standard but pretty good! I think the breakfast is fine; the service is excellent, always with a smile and very polite, and the food tastes good – I can definitely get used to it. They offer...

The room location is excellent, right in the heart of Myeongdong, very close to the subway station and Lotte Department Store. There are tons of restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and Olive Young branches nearby. Many popular eateries are within walking distance. The room isn't small, the bedding is very comfortable, and it's super clean. The hotel staff are all very welcoming and greet you proactively

I booked this hotel for ７times i always stay at this rosana hotel When i come for the concert at kspo dome or ticket link it is very convenient,the staff is really polite and kind．Actually i am going to book for SHINee's concert in May

Everything was ok, it has the basics to stay for few day

One of the receptionists was not very polite, we asked for additional bathroom slippers for a double room and the response we got was "no" without a proper explanation. The aircon was also not functioning properly and was blowing out hot air at night. Only plus point was that the room was extremely clean and housekeeping services were 10/10!

Its a clean room. Enough for 3 of us. Close to everything. Good customer service 👍

I made a book this hotel cuz I wanna go Lotte world adventure. In terms of that the location of the hotel is incredible. Anyone can go there by walk. And all the things of the hotel was clean. If I have plan to go near this area again, I would like to be here again =)

There's a direct airport shuttle service to the hotel, and there are convenience stores and a bus stop nearby. The facilities are a bit old, but overall it's just okay.

It's decent. About a 10-minute walk to the metro station.

Great value for money, though a bit far from the subway station. There are several convenience stores nearby. Overall, very satisfied.

Great place to stay 10-12 min walk from time square and shake shack

It's a bit of a walk from the subway, but the room was very warm thanks to the floor heating. Overall, I'm satisfied.

I was a bit anxious before booking, seeing the ratings and reviews, but I felt relieved after checking in. The room wasn't big, but it was very clean, odor-free, and the soundproofing was good. An auntie came to clean, change towels, and empty the trash every day. It's very close to Gimpo Airport, directly accessible via Line 5. It's a bit of a walk from the subway station, but not too far and perfectly...

The environment is great and super convenient! It's right next to Hongdae, and there's a radio station. As soon as you step out of the hotel, there are tons of convenience stores and cafes, which is really nice. It's not too far from the subway either, and there are several bus stops nearby. The room was incredibly warm; the underfloor heating was cranked up high when I visited in November. Plus, the...

The shower stall is a bit small, only fitting one person, but that's pretty typical for hotels in Korea. The room space is decent, comparable to a 300 RMB/night room back home, and the cleanliness is good, though it is quite small. It's super convenient as there are shops right downstairs. There are also many places nearby for photos. Personally, if your trip is only three or four days, I'd recommend...

Its at a prime location thats for sure. Convenience to most desired travel locations within Seoul City. Room was decent too with necessary amenities all provided and rather big. Only thing we didn’t really like is the room toilet lights being automated so if you’re in there for too long, the lights switch off on its own and you need to ask your roommate to switch it on for you. No views out the window...

I’m sorry to say this, but the cleanliness was extremely poor. I don’t think I would visit again.

Location is great, lots of restaurants around, but the room is not as the pictures advertised, the shower has no curtains and water splashes everywhere. Room design is quite old, it’s okay but sound isolation is awfully bad. Good for a night or two cheap stay.

I stayed at The Designers Hotel in Jongno, Seoul. This was my third time choosing this hotel, and every time I walk into the lobby, the strong winter ambiance always leaves a deep impression. The warm lighting, Christmas tree decorations, and gently playing Christmas carols instantly immerse you in the年末 (end-of-year) atmosphere. This trip to Seoul was for G-Dragon's concert. The warmth and comfort...

The Designers Hotel Jongno A Christmas & New Year Story from an Aussie Traveler I arrived in Korea just before Christmas, trading Australia’s summer holiday season for the cold, glowing winter streets of Seoul. The moment I stepped into The Designers Hotel in Jongno, soft carols and small Christmas decorations welcomed me, making it clear that I would be spending the holidays somewhere completely...

The hotel room was rather old and looked different from the pictures. The bed is very small for the twin room, so if you are a bigger size person, you might want to think again. The good thing is there is a bathtub, but the design is bad because water will come out from the side of the tub and your clothes will be wet if you put it there. No hooks provided in the bathroom. The thing that I hope the...

Location is great ! it’s near to the subway . but little lack of amenities

The quality of the room is quite run down and has a musty smell. You can see dust on the tray at the work table. I have stayed at one of the other Designers hotel located nearer to each other. I could have booked at the wrong one. Nevertheless, location is at the best of DDP area.

Great location near the subway. Friendly staff, daily cleaning and spacious rooms

Room size was good but very old amenities. Bathroom amenities were better, affordable room price for its prime location, close to subway, airport buses. But a front desk woman, she was cold, did not speak a word, very bad. You should walk deep into backstreets for local eateries

Overall, it was okay. The facilities are definitely not new anymore; the toilet seat kept falling off. But the location is great and easy to find, with a subway station across the street and Dondaemun just a quick walk away.

The location is pretty good and generally user-friendly. Aside from the cleanliness needing improvement, the price is quite reasonable! Transportation is convenient, and it's close to both Dongdaemun and Myeongdong.

The room was a bit small; once the suitcase was open, there was barely any room to walk. That's pretty common for hotels in Korea, so I can accept it. However, the cleanliness was really a problem. On the first night, I killed a cockroach while showering 😂, which was truly unexpected. On the positive side, the front desk and staff were all very kind and helpful. The location is also great, right in...

Unfriendly staff, especially the guy working the night shift. He sighed every time I asked something while he was just playing on his phone. Complete waste of the owner's money.

Very convenient location! With shopping and attraction just nearby. There is washing machine FOC, coffee and ironing at lobby. However, cleanliness could be improved as I saw hair on the mattress. No breakfast option in this hotel but there are plenty of shops nearby.

The room is a little bit small but can still open up 28’ luggage, pretty good location,around 10 mins walk from the mrt. The nearest exit doesn’t have a lift or escalator but the other exit with lift is just abit further only. They do have 1 washing machine and 1 dryer at the lobby so can do laundry if needed. Its near to the popular gwangjang market too.Overall, value for money

Great location, convenient airport access The hotel location is excellent — only about 3 minutes’ walk to the train station and DDP, which made getting around very easy. The Airport Limousine Bus 6001 starts as early as 4:40 AM from nearby. Although this stop is not the first on the route, the staff will activate a second bus if the first one gets full — which they did this morning, so we didn’t have...

Booked a twin room for two adults and one child. We were told an extra fee would be charged for the child, requiring an upgrade to a triple or family room. The family room was at the end of the hallway and it was freezing when we checked in on a sub-zero Seoul night. The heating wasn't on and there was no warmth at all!

The room was small compared to normal hotel, but understandable that it’s more like a boutique hotel. Staffs were very helpful and can speak English. Room was warm due to winter which is good. Tv with basic local channel, I just wish that they provide toothpaste & toothbrush sets thats all.

If you want a very quiet area, can consider here for short trip or business trip. But not for families. For families, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel especially during winter season due to location far from both stations. It was quite chilling cold to walk all the way to hotel and also have to avoid underground exit 7 (strong smell of urine) coming from Seoul station. Bath towels were old and slightly...

Had a fantastic stay at Hotel Manu. It’s centrally located, very close to the Seoul station for both subway and airport railway. It is also a short walk to Myeongdong. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was comfy and very warm :). The brekkie was sensational with a different menu each day. They do the best cappuccino! Overall, I had a great stay and highly recommend the hotel.

This hotel is conveniently located near exits 4 and 5 of Seoul Station, which have direct elevators, making it super easy for those with large luggage! The rumors about homeless people near exits 7 and 8 are true, but I didn't encounter any issues, and since those exits only have stairs, I just avoided them entirely. It felt perfectly safe, so no worries there. The biggest advantage of staying here...

Nice and comfy and very central to market and Seoul station. There's a walking beige that connection to different destination instead walking in the main road, way safer and easier. do recommend for care free stay

This hotel has a very good location as it is only about a three-minute walk from Cheongnyangni Station. It would be ideal for passengers who have early morning train departures. However, do note that due to its proximity to the train station, it is also susceptible to noise going on into the night. There are some rooms with no windows — mine had one but that also meant that noises from the train track...

Hotel has the friendliest staff. Very close to night market and mrt station. Will book again

The amenity’s are good only if you book a deluxe room. If you don’t, it’s average. My room stinks like cigarettes and even had ashes of it. We claim and with help of Trip, they change it.

We ordered 2 room with my family, but hotel give us different floors, but the next day they give us same floor when they said me give me plus money for cash. Very strange. This hotel not suitable for family. It was very tiny room. Not same for picture. Window very small , very loud location . We can’t sleep. Having no air. Poor wireless. One person can just use wifi , another person can’t use wifi...

My group love the ambience of the hotel. Location is great. There is a direct bus from Incheon airport to the hotel 6002.

It quite good for family or friends to stay there Room average size. Nearby there is alot shop food or hair salon It very near to a lotte mall. Staff are friendly. The only downside is that toilet amenities you have to purchase urself it near the lift at level 1

The overall environment is pretty good, and the underfloor heating was wonderfully warm! The cleanliness was also excellent. It's very close to the subway entrance, making it super convenient for getting around. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby and a convenience store right outside. Highly recommend!

Good location for shopping in Gangnam

Absolutely no value for money. It's expensive and offers nothing else. Not only was there constant road noise, but also the sound of a small train passing every few minutes. I even wondered if it was directly above a subway line 😣? Plus, there seemed to be thumping karaoke sounds. I got no sleep at all! All this for over 900!

The transportation is indeed convenient. 7-Eleven is right downstairs, and the 6009 airport express bus goes directly there. The bus stop is a few hundred meters from the hotel, but this short stretch of road is bumpy and tough on luggage wheels. There's a 24-hour bone soup restaurant downstairs, and many sports cars pass by at night. The biggest advantages are the food near the subway and the convenient...

It's fairly close to both location that I want to go which is the Chungmuro Art Theater and Spacehakdong where I went for a fansign event. And the price is pretty good and the space is huge for just one person so I feel pretty comfortable. Only thing is the sink and toilet wasn't as clean so that's the only minus point.

Good location, 3 minutes to the subway station. The room was clean and comfortable, the hotel provided all the necessary amenities. Hotel staff speak in English. Wi-Fi didn’t work well in my room.

Location is excellent with spacious and comfy rooms. The facilities are a bit outdated, but that's probably why the hotel offers a lower price. Complimentary breakfast was adequate and convenient. We had an issue with heating but they provided an alternative heater. The staff polite and responsive

I stayed for 6 nites in Dec 2022. Location is near city hall subway and walking distance to myeongdong. There r eateries around. The hotel staff r v helpful. I spoken to Mr Koo and another bigger size staff. They were v helpful to my enquiries on transport, food and hotel facilities etc. It was a pleasant surprise that they offer free simple breakfast for all staying guest during that period. It is...

Loved everything here! The location, helpful and accommodating staff, the restos behind the hotel, and so much more. The staff speak English so communication was not a problem. Our room was cleaned daily including changing sheets, towels, etc. We would easily stay here again on our next trip. ☺️

Great location. Near City Hall train station and lots of eateries. Near Cheonggyecheon canal. Beautiful place for stroll and great for running. The hotel bed is kinda of hard and the carpet flooring is pretty old. Other than that, the coin laundry helps a lot if you are staying more days and the counter staff has been very helpful.

A very nice hotel for a very nice price. The concierge spoke English, and there is a convenience store attached. The rooms are clean and have their own wifi, a bidet, and a lovely view. There is a sauna and massage area located on the 3rd floor, though it was closed every time I stopped by. Not a problem though, as I came at very odd hours since the rest of the day was out and about. Very close to...

Nice hotel with a great location. Rooms were a good size and clean. Would use again.

the room is great clean and tidy 5 mins from train station 15 mins from the shopping mall taxi 10 mins can go hongdae Budget friendly

Great location with convenient transportation. The front desk communication was smooth, and their service attitude was excellent.

The location is great, convenient for taking the subway and airport bus, with many dining options nearby. The room is clean, quiet, and comfortable. You can get to Myeongdong directly by subway. The subway entrance is within a 5-minute walk, and the National Assembly building is right across from it.

Great location, walking distance from train station and airport limousine stop. Spacious room, allowing 29-inch suitcases to be opened completely.

It is a pretty comfortable and well located hotel. It was clean, and had loads of big shopping malls a few bus stops away. Check in and Check out process was easy, the room was nice and the TV screen was big and nice to watch stuff on. Okay for it’s price, but I enjoyed my stay overall.

Facilities: Average Cleanliness: The room attendant did a great job cleaning. Environment: Average Service: Pretty good. The main reason I chose this hotel was its proximity to the KBS pre-recording for 'Lachica'. It's super convenient, just a 10-minute walk away. The Lachica live performance was absolutely amazing!

Not cleaned the room well. Cause there are used tissue under the bed. But the rest is good. The hotel location is easy to find.

The room was a bit old, but the service was very good. It was okay for one night. It's very close to Shuixi Station, making it convenient for getting around. A great economical choice, haha.

The front desk staff were friendly and I was able to check in with peace of mind. I was bothered by the smell of cigarettes at the entrance to my room and in the bathroom, but there was no smell in the room itself, so I was able to stay comfortably. I'd like to stay here again if I have the opportunity to be in the area. Thank you.

for toilet bidet water outlet not functioning, we can’t use till check out though request to front desk.

The best choice for concert-goers at the Olympic Stadium! It's half an hour to the venue and just a two-minute walk to the subway station. From there, it's a ten-minute subway ride to Lotte Department Store and duty-free shops. There are countless restaurants, many of which are open all day.

The room was very clean, and the service was good.

Spacious and comfortable. Location is outstanding, walking distance to Apm plaza and DDP. convenient to look for food and shopping.

A very good option for staying for a week. Spacious rooms, an elevator, good in-room amenities, and pleasant staff. First of all, the area is excellent. It’s a lively, authentic Seoul, and just outside the neighborhood you’ll find postcard-worthy spots and major tourist attractions. Staying here allows you to experience the rhythm of daily life alongside local Seoul residents and really feel the city...

The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean with a big window looking over Dongdemun park. The beds are comfortable and we had good sleep at night. We like the heated Japanese toilet seat which is a plus during the cold weather. The hotel provided shampoo and body wash and lotion. There's a airport bus stop 6001 opposite the street and a Michelin cold noodle restaurant nearby. We took the free...

The soundproofing wasn't great, and the mattress was squeaky. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied, and the room was very spacious.

Love the location of Youngbin Hotel. It was near DDP station and Dongguk University station. Room was huge, amenities were sufficient. Will definitely be back!

We did came a bit earlier, so we had to paid for a room for one day , next day we supposed to move to our room , but they say we can stay in that which we get , room was big , clean , with 2 beds , all amenities, we get 2 bottles of water every day , cleaning was everyday .. just one thing I didn't like and I didn't understand, there was a window , but cannot be open ..all the rest was perfect location...
