Hotels in Seoul

I thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay at the Grand Hyatt. It was the perfect place for a relaxing yet invigorating reset before a two-week trip around Korea. The hotel is well situated for those who do not mind a bit of effort: Namsan Park is nearby if you are in the mood for a refreshing but fairly challenging hike, and Itaewon and Hannam are close enough for culture, dining, and a livelier atmosphere...

The location is a bit out of the way, about 4 kilometers from Myeongdong and Bukchon Hanok Village. It's close to Namsan Park, but the main issue is that there are no shops or restaurants nearby, making it quite isolated.

Grand Hyatt Seoul: Classic Luxury with Breathtaking Views A classic luxury hotel offering spectacular city views and extensive facilities, but with some considerations regarding its location and age. 🏨 Location & Ambiance Situated atop Namsan Mountain, the hotel provides stunning panoramic views of Seoul. While offering a peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere, it’s on a hillside, which means walking to...

The Grand Hyatt, being an established brand, definitely delivers on quality and service. All the staff speak excellent English, so communication was a breeze, and their service attitude was wonderful. The only drawback is the small room size, which seems to be a common issue in Seoul. Also, there were too many people taking photos in the lobby, making it quite noisy. On the plus side, room service...

Understanding there is undergoing renovation for the breakfast venue but it’s ridiculous to wait for 30 mins for breakfast. The hotel can choose not to take so many bookings under the circumstances or to let the guests Choose to have breakfast in room.

The environment is great, and the hotel service is good, but the toilet isn't up to par.

Facilities: All quite new, very good. Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: The hallway had a slight renovation smell. The location is excellent, right next to COEX. Service: The staff's English was very good, but they didn't surprise us. We had noted it was our anniversary. Hope for more thoughtful service next time.

The location is convenient, and the concierge service upon exiting the hotel was decent. However, there was hardly any other service; they even started charging for toothbrushes. For a hotel costing over 2,000 a night, you'd think they wouldn't nickel and dime guests over something so small.

Overall clean hotel located right next to the Starfield Coex Mall which makes it super convenient. It's in the Gangnam area so take note of the time it takes and traffic to get across the Hangang to access other more local neighbourhoods like Seongsu and Hannam.

Location : Excellent Very convenient Near department store COEX

Great stay - the experience felt super luxurious and the service from staff was wonderful. The hotel design is beautiful, easy access to coex starfield mall & direct access to the subway. We went during Christmas time so it felt extra festive!

I ended up switching rooms 5 times. Every single room had the air purifier light on full red, indicating severe air quality issues. The smell of fresh paint and renovation was overwhelmingly strong. Seriously, cherish your life and stay away from formaldehyde-ridden rooms. I was traveling with my child and there was a pregnant woman with us, so I urge anyone with children or expecting mothers to be...

The hotel is located right above a bustling commercial area with COEX and Hyundai Department Store, plus there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Every staff member I encountered was very friendly, and we were able to add an extra bed for a fee, which was great for our family so we didn't feel too cramped.

The hotel's location is super convenient. The airport shuttle stops right outside, and the basement has tons of restaurants and cafes. Shopping is a breeze too, with specialty stores and direct access to Hyundai Department Store, plus a subway station and the city terminal. The room size is average, and there was a bit of a renovation smell. The bed was pretty comfortable, but early in the morning...

Excellent location! Right below COEX and the subway station. The only downside is that most dining options in Gangnam are inside malls, with very few standalone restaurants on the streets.

Typical 5-star hotel setup. Some rooms were a bit small, but after requesting a change, the new room was much better and the temperature was very comfortable. I also received Olive vouchers, which was a nice bonus.

The hotel room is clean and the price is reasonable. The staff are nice. There are shopping malls and restaurants nearby, which is convenient. I would definitely recommend it to others.

The service was great, and the subway entrance is right downstairs, which makes getting around super convenient. The only downside is that the room felt a bit small, even smaller than what was stated.

Facilities: The room was very clean and tidy, and the city view outside the window had a unique Korean charm ✨. I really enjoyed watching the railway below, with subways passing by and lovely yellow flowers – it was so beautiful ✨ (some reviews mentioned noise, and there is a bit, but the beautiful view makes it worth it 🤭; personally, it didn't affect my sleep). There's a CU convenience store right...

The hotel was ok. Not bad. the room was little crammed. Kinda small but it was very clean. Cleaning service was very good . The location was ok. Not bad. There is no restroom on the first floor or lobby.

The room was quite spacious, which is a great deal for this price in Seoul. Most importantly, the location is excellent. It's not as congested as Myeongdong, and right outside, there's a fantastic local food street. It's not one of those tourist traps; you'll see mostly locals eating there, and every place serves delicious food.

It was too close to a busy train station. The noise caused by the trains affectsleep.

Small room with all the basic things provided. Ideal for solo traveller but less space for luggage for couple. The round glass table is taking up a lot of space. It is better to use square or smaller one.

The hotel's location is really good. The airport shuttle goes directly to it, and it's not a long walk from Yeongdeungpo subway station. There are plenty of food and drink options across from the hotel, and an Olive Young just around the corner. As previous reviews mentioned, the double room is indeed close to the train tracks, but there's some soundproofing. If you're a light sleeper, you might want...

Airport bus is nearby, very close to the metro station line 4. And it just takes 2 to 3 stations to go to Seoul station by bus. There are many restaurants and shops near the hotel.

Our stay at The Grand Hotel Myeongdong was fantastic, thanks to its unbeatable location right by the train station and surrounded by endless shops and eateries. We could easily stay out late for shopping sprees and late-night snacks without any hassle getting back. The room was spotlessly clean, and the staff were warm and friendly throughout our visit. Highly recommend for anyone exploring Myeongdong

We took the ‘standard room’. It was an absolutely tiny room, so small I couldn’t walk around the bed but had to scramble over it instead - see photo. It was supposed to be 18sqm but I guess that included the toilet, the cupboard and the mini fridge. So it was a bit of a squeeze, but the hotel makes up for its minuscule room sizes by being in the heart of Myeongdong shopping and street food area. Location...

Convinent location for shopping n eat Reasonable price if booked thru trip.com

Located near Myeongdong Station, it's very close to both the airport bus stop and the subway station, making getting around super convenient. It's also close to several subway lines. The staff service was excellent, and the room size was just right. 👍 Good value for money! Just remember to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste.

The location is fantastic, and check-in was a breeze. It's right by the pedestrian street, so all the good food, drinks, and shopping are incredibly close. The duty-free shop is less than a 20-minute walk away – you can just stroll there at your leisure. Plus, there are three convenience stores nearby!

The room was a bit small, but clean enough. My kid really liked it. The location is super convenient, right downstairs from Lotte World amusement park.

Hotel is really nice. Staff are so friendly and helpful. All of them can speak English. The downside is the food. Very limited for us. Perhaps is the location. Will choose Myeongdong Lotte hotel next visit. The highlights of the room are very big room and mini washer + dryer. Hotel provided laundry sheet. So nice. Room can put 3 luggages opened and still have plenty of space to walk around.

Clean and tidy, with good service attitude.

Overall, a great experience! I didn't see any toothbrushes (I heard many places don't provide them, so I had already packed my own). We couldn't check into our room until 3 PM after checking in, so we left our luggage and went shopping. When we returned, our bags were already in our room, which was a nice touch! Because of the language barrier and the fact that the bus I wanted to catch was about to...

Im happy, lotte will always my fave’s hotel in Korea. Very nice place

I chose Lotte World this time because I've been to Seoul many times and wanted to explore Jamsil. It's very close to the Olympic Stadium, and you see a lot of people running around here. Lotte Department Store is great for shopping, with basically all the brands you could want. The only downside is that it's a bit far from areas like Seongsu, Hannam, and Dongdaemun. However, if you're visiting Lotte...

Overall it's a good hotel to relax in, and being located in the hills gives it a different feel. However, if I had to pick a downside, it would be that it's bit crowded. Aside from that, the prices are reasonable and the satisfaction level is high.

Can’t expect anything lesser of a 5 star hotel but strangely, the bathroom, which houses both the bathtub and toilrt bowl, is rather cramped and is lacking a dry clothings hanging area My reservation was for a MOUNTAIN VIEW but lo and behold the view is more of a rooftop / compressor view Overall it is a very good hotel

I had very experience and hotel is very clean.

Quiet comfy vibes in a secluded location in seoul, loved the outdoor jacuzi area

The hotel located quite remotely so not very convenient if you come to Korea for shopping and travelling around.

The Grand Walkerhill Hotel was so amazing! At the level and caliber of the hotel, it was a simple and grand hotel. Room itself was clean and loved the counter space where I sat to work and drink my coffee. Pressure of the shower was amazing!

The Shilla Seoul is truly a comfortable hotel. From its overall style to its architecture, everything is incredibly refined. It has a very 'old money' vibe but still feels incredibly welcoming and personable. This will definitely be my go-to hotel for my next visit to Seoul.

Extremely satisfied with this hotel! Everything was great, especially the breakfast!

Hygiene: Stayed for three nights, and the cleaning was excellent every day. Environment: The environment is quite good, though the hillside location makes transportation a bit inconvenient. Luckily, the hotel provides a shuttle bus to and from the subway station, which makes up for this issue. Service: The service was good. The hotel staff were all very welcoming and made us feel right at home.

The room was very clean and the environment was decent. It was a bit cold at night this time of year. They don't provide toothbrushes or razors; you have to pay for them, which would have been good to know when booking. This is my second stay, and everything else was pretty good.

The Shilla Hotel exudes a calm and understated elegance, with a discreet sense of order and sophistication that hints at its prestigious background. The service is unobtrusive yet exceptionally attentive, and every space and detail reflects a rich history and quiet confidence. It makes for a very reassuring and substantial stay.

This is my second stay at The Shilla, and once again, I had a fantastic experience. I'll definitely choose The Shilla again next time I visit Seoul!

Been staying at this hotel whenever travelling to Seoul. Their level of standard in terms of hospitality and cleaniness has been impeccable. The location is superb being next to Myeongdong, Subway, and connecting to Lotte Department Store with supermarket/food court.

This truly lives up to its five-star rating. The location is absolutely fantastic, right in Seoul's Myeongdong area. It's literally right outside Exit 8 of Euljiro 1-ga Station on Subway Line 2. Myeongdong shopping is just a 5-minute walk away, and the hotel is integrated with Lotte Duty Free, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. I requested a quiet room when I booked in advance, and they...

Very convenient,perfect location no complain

This hotel is super convenient, right next to the duty-free shop. The room was really spacious and much better and cleaner than any other hotel I've stayed at in Korea. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit. The staff were great, and it was easy to get a taxi. Plus, you can enjoy a drink downstairs in the evening.

Service was ok, room is clean, assistance also good

The location is super convenient, right by Lotte. You can access the mall directly from the basement, and if you walk across the street, there are plenty of food options and drugstores. It feels like an older, well-established hotel with a certain level of class, but it is showing its age. The hairdryer isn't very powerful and could definitely use an upgrade. Overall, I thought the room was quite decent...

Extremely satisfied, will definitely come again next time. It's right next to Lotte Duty Free and just a few minutes' walk to Myeongdong shopping street.

Nice location but old facilities otherwise all is wonderful

Location: The location is very convenient. From the lobby on the first floor, you can access the subway station directly. From the basement, there's another subway entrance and a Starbucks across the street. You can walk through a passage straight to Myeongdong Shopping Street. Cleanliness: Although it's a bit old, it's kept very clean. Room Size: The room is not big. Soundproofing: Excellent. Room...

The hotel's location is super convenient, with tons of malls and restaurants nearby. Transportation is also a breeze, and it's really close to Namsan Tower. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep.

The family room was great, and they even upgraded our bed to a King-size for free when we checked in. The hotel's service was also excellent. Initially, I had trouble with the phone screen mirroring, but they sent an engineer the next day to help, which was incredibly thoughtful. I was a bit worried when booking because I saw the hotel was older, but it's very well-maintained. The breakfast was delicious...

Great location, just a crosswalk away from Myeongdong. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. Although the facilities are a bit dated, they are well-maintained. The bed was large and very comfortable, and I loved the fragrant lotion provided. Free bottled water was a nice touch too. We stayed over Christmas, and they even gave our child a lovely little cookie and candy goodie bag

This hotel is very clean and front desk is friendly. It takes around 10mins walk to Myeongdong street and very near to subway station. Recommend!

The room size was good, quite spacious for our family of three with two suitcases. The transportation is also convenient; you can take bus 6015 from Incheon Airport and get off at Euljiro 2(i)-ga. Remember to press the bell to alert the driver for your stop. After getting off, cross the road at the intersection behind you, and you'll see the bowing statue at the entrance, making it easy to find. The...

The location is pretty convenient. I stayed for four days this time, and it's not far from Myeongdong, within walking distance, making shopping and dining easy. There's a subway station a few hundred meters away, which is convenient for getting to various attractions, and the airport shuttle bus is also easily accessible. The only downside is the construction site downstairs; it's so intense every...

This hotel's location is a godsend for both sightseeing and shopping! It's a 2-3 minute walk to Myeongdong Shopping Street, and directly connected to Lotte Department Store and Lotte Duty Free, so you can drop off your purchases right in your room. It's also close to Euljiro 3-ga and Euljiro 1-ga subway stations (Lines 1 and 2), and the airport limousine bus stop is right at the hotel's doorstep. There...

This is my top pick for shopping in Myeongdong! The location is fantastic, really close to Myeongdong's main street and Subway Line 4. It's also super close to Lotte Duty Free/Department Store, and both the airport bus and tour shuttle are easily accessible. The service is great: the front desk staff speak both Chinese and English, are very friendly, and check-in/check-out is quick. Housekeeping is...

The room itself was pretty good, with all the necessary facilities. I wouldn't recommend having breakfast at the hotel, as there's a 7-Eleven downstairs and plenty of other food options nearby. It's also very close to Myeongdong Lotte Shopping Street, which is great for relaxing and shopping.

The hotel was exceptionally clean and well-maintained throughout my entire stay. What impressed me the most was the cleanliness of the bathroom and toilet area. Everything was spotless, fresh, and clearly cared for with great attention to detail, which made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The location was also excellent, with convenient and easy access to Myeongdong and other popular areas....

Excellent, very clean. This is my second time booking here, and I'll definitely stay again when I visit Korea in the future. It's super convenient – just a short downhill walk with your luggage from the hotel entrance to the airport bus stop. Plus, it's very close to Shinsegae and Lotte Duty-Free shops, as well as Myeongdong shopping street. It's also near the subway station. Highly recommended!

The room was spacious and the location was excellent, right next to Sungnyemun Gate with lots of food options nearby. Highly recommended, great value for money. There's also an airport bus stop right outside that goes directly to Incheon Airport.

I had an unpleasant stay as the cleanliness is terrible. There were dust almost everywhere, and the room looks like it is under renovation, peeling paint. Condition of the fixtures were not good including the door frame being broken on the 2nd night. Staff was helpful when I raised these issue.

Very convenient , walking to myeondong about 12mins. Room is big and clean . Highly recommended .

Nice hotel in a good location near Myeongdong. Safe for solo travellers and room was decently clean. Will stay again!

The type of room we had reserved is the apartment type that consist of 3 bedrooms and 1 living room. The size is big but there is no daily service to clean the room. The apartment is located in the front area of the hotel, separating from the hotel. The CU shop (24hrs) was easily to walk in 5 min. The location is far from the subway so using taxi is more convenient.

Clean and tidy Staff are polite and helpful The location is a bit far

The hotel is located halfway up a hill, so it's very quiet. It's quite large with an excellent environment, clearly a high-class establishment. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the service is very attentive.

The room was great. Late check in around 11 something pm then check out 11am.

I personally feel that Western hotel brands in Korea are always a great choice. The staff here can all communicate in English, and everything about this hotel is excellent, except for its location – it feels like it's halfway up a mountain. When you want to take public transport, you have to climb a long and steep hill. The first day, when we got off the airport bus, we were genuinely shocked. My mom...

It was neat on the first day but there was no room cleaning on the next day.

Convenient and comfortable. Staff is helpful. There are self lockers, easy to operate.

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk to Myeongdong. There's a convenience store downstairs, though they often miscalculate the bill. The area is packed with great local Korean restaurants and coffee shops. My only minor complaint is the lack of power outlets, and the adapter felt a bit loose. I'll definitely choose this place again when I visit Myeongdong, and the nearby subway makes...

This was my second stay, and it was a good experience. The room was quite spacious and quiet. The convenience store on the first floor is great and offers excellent service – highly recommended! It's very close to Myeongdong on foot, and there's a food street behind the hotel with traditional, authentic small restaurants, as well as some fusion places combining Western and Korean cuisine. I just got...

Amazing staff. Can speak good English. There was one staff helped me on the dryer machine. He deserved a shoutout. Nice lockers. Amazing room. Superb cleanliness. Strategic location. Damn lot of good food and stuff nearby. Nice decor and design.

The hotel's location is convenient for getting around, and the facilities meet daily needs. The staff are polite and enthusiastic. The breakfast selection offered daily is extensive, and the city view from the hotel window is beautiful.

Really good service, friendly staff. Excellent location!! Will revisit this hotel 👍

it was nice and clean, staff were excellent, location was also convenient

Overall, it was very good. The hygiene and service were excellent. The transportation was also quite convenient, with a mall downstairs directly connected to the subway, making shopping and dining great. The lounge stops admitting children after 4:30 PM, but everything else was fine.

The environment is great and there's a strong Christmas atmosphere.

Extremely overpriced hotel, seriously expensive! The view is great though! I'd still recommend it.

Location is really best. Top tier shopping and food street are just around the corner, which are connected by stairs.

Great location, service and room were great. Only hiccup was not being able to get a room with one large bed instead of 2 beds. (requested but unavailable). They did make it up by giving us some wine and cheese in the toom. Good touch. Parking was also included which is great. But you have to validate with the hotel each time you return. There was once, I asked for validation and it did not work...

Excellent hotel! The service is great and it's very clean. It's super convenient for getting around, with Myeongdong, N Seoul Tower, and Gyeongbokgung Palace all within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Very impressive hotel experience, good location near convenient store and crowd area. V

Second time booking a room here. Really had an enjoyable stay. Was early and super tired from jetlag and feeling a little sick due to the extreme cold weather and the kind gentleman at the counter made an exception and allowed me to check-in early. It was a really kind gesture which really made my day. Room was clean and bed was comfy. No complaints at all.

Great location and convenient to go to most places. We enjoyed the stay and the service was excellent especially Mr. Alex Sung at the Front Desk. The room was clean and the hotel is quiet.

Fantastic hotel! I loved everything about it – the service was top-notch and the breakfast was excellent. Definitely great value for money if you book in advance.

The location is excellent, right in the Namdaemun area. The rooms are clean and beautiful. I will definitely come back.

Most comfortable Hotel in Seoul! Staff is very nice, food is very delicious, perfect service !!! Will definitely come again and again!

The room has a great river view.

The location is fantastic! You can access Hyundai Department Store directly from the basement, and it's a short walk to Han River Park. There's a street with tons of restaurants just a few hundred meters away, including some famous BBQ spots popular with celebrities. The hotel is right above subway lines 5 and 9. Taxis to Seongsu or Myeongdong are under ₩10,000, and a taxi to Incheon Airport during...

Conveniently located next to Yeouido Park with excellent transport links. There's a large shopping mall downstairs and direct access to the subway station.

Facilities: Very complete, the floor heating was super comfortable. Hygiene: Very clean, though they weren't prompt in replenishing tissues during our multi-day stay. Environment: High-end, stylish, and impressive. Service: Extremely thoughtful, they helped with luggage and even contacted us when we left something behind.

The room facilities are very new, clean, and the view is excellent. The front desk, restaurant, concierge, and service staff were all very enthusiastic, providing a top-notch experience. The food was also great. The location is even more amazing, with direct underground access to IFC and Hyundai Department Store. Highly recommended! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

The hotel is located in Myeongdong. The airport bus 6015 drops you off about 20 meters from the hotel, and it's right next to subway line 2. Myeongdong Walking Street is about a 15-minute walk away, making its location excellent and very convenient for getting around by subway. The hotel is very quiet. Even though my room was across from the elevator, I only occasionally heard the elevator going up...

The only thing I'd recommend about this hotel is its location. It's right in Myeongdong, and you can see Namsan Tower from the room. It's also convenient for getting to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan, and Dongdaemun. It's not a 5-star hotel, more like a Sheraton express. The toilet seat had some dirty spots, making it feel not thoroughly cleaned. The breakfast selection was limited, and the bread was...

Cleanliness: Good, generally quite clean. Service: Pretty good, the front desk staff mostly speak Chinese. Facilities: Has everything you need, though the room is a bit small. It's perfectly fine for two people. Environment: Great surrounding amenities, right by the subway, and Myeongdong is just a short walk away.

Awesome location and walking distance from all the shopping and amazing food and coffee

Nice clean hotel, good location, beautiful view from my window, starbucks and other coffee shop right in the building, subway also right there as well as other restaurants and cafes. Good stay!

May be due to regulations; the hotel did not provide disposable items. Very minimum amenities, not even a spoon. I also think this is to minimise cleaning. My doubt is whether they really clean the place. I have cups not washed; missing sock in the bathroom stay on the floor for days. Location is a big plus; one train station just right infront of the hotel.
