"I stayed at Urban stay Boutique Ikseon in Seoul and had a pleasant experience. The best part was the location in the heart of Ikseon-dong, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and attractions within walking distance. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, and the self check-in process was easy. Nearby subway stations also made getting around Seoul convenient.

Top Jongmyo Shrine Hotel Reviews

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed a week at ENA hotel, it was great time to stay. Friendly staffs front desk and restaurant and house keeping. I ate breakfast at restaurant located in the hotel. Was great with reasonable prices. They serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great location to go to anywhere popular places with subway and buses and trains. I will definitely choice this hotel whenever visit to Korea. * Room has small refrigerator and electric cattle and hair dryer. I requested that iron and board at the front desk when I check in. * If I have a food to make heat up, I brought to restaurant and they did for me. (Front desk people encouraged to do that)"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"It was great staying there at the suites. I stayed for six nights and the suite is very clean and has everything you need to cook, do laundry with dryer. Its very spacious at 50sqm and has clean air and does not smell. The reception told me its new hotel that started business in q2, 2025 Location is a little far 15-20mins walk from Myeongdong main street but its good to have some walking after food. I feel safe walking back but you will walk along a short quiet alleys just prior reaching the hotel (depending the route you take). You can also get a taxi back for < usd 10. Transport is cheap so it beats paying top dollar for a stay within the street. However it is close to Gwangjung market and a short 15 mins walk to ikseon dong. I recommend you walk to ikseon dong for breakfast or lunch if you are late sleeper. There are some good options. Twosome place is just a 5 mins walk away if you want to grab a morning coffee. I don’t used the hotel amenities so i cant rate it but there are a couple of restaurants at the floor level that you can grab something to eat (not crowded) and convenience store at the second level. Hope this review helps in making your choice."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The family room was fantastic. It was the perfect size for a family of four, with plenty of space to relax. The bathroom was equally impressive, and the bath was absolutely huge. Honestly, I couldn't fault either the room or the hotel. The only slight and I mean slight downside was the location. If it had been a little closer to Myeongdong, it would have been perfect. Travelling on the subway with four people and two large suitcases each isn't ideal for everyone, although, in fairness, I could have taken a taxi and you'll only do that twice."

Orakai Insadong Suites

10/10 Excellent

"In the heart of central Seoul, you have amazing access to so many great places to visit. To compliment that, this hotel was so exquisitely nice to stay in. The views are breathtaking of the palaces and other neighborhoods of Jongro (Jongno) and Insadong. The rooms are suburb and the staff help helped us with coordinating logistics practically every day that we were there. Top notch."
