Top Seodaemun Prison History Museum Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for everything! 10 minutes walk from all the shops and restaurants!"

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in good location and room is spacious. Staff are nice . Room is clean. Cons: though we stay above 10 floor , the noise from street is still clearly heard, including people talking or sounds of cars. We book room for four. But the bed size is on the small side for two adults. But in general the stay is pleasant."

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Rooms are bright and large, the hotel location is excellent; close to transit, airport bus, buses and walkable to many attractions. The sauna/baths are very nice and clean, and the gym is really well stocked for a hotel. I lived in Seoul for years and return to visit; this is now my go-to hotel. I will absolutely return."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the subway and Myeongdong shopping district, and also for the in room kitchen and washer/dryer. They also have a 24hr convenience store next to the lobby which we visited at least once a day to buy ready to make food, ice cream, and drinks. I LOVED the buffett breakfast which had the typical eggs, bacon, cereals, pastries but also had Asian food, seasoned vegetables(PanChan), hotpot, and fresh fruit. Adding the breakfast when we reserved the room was well worth it. The only downside was the large amount of construction around the hotel which took up most of the view from our patio. It also forces you to walk down a rundown alley to get to the subway. I would definitely stay here again for the convenience, the cleanliness, and the breakfast."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Ena from 7/20-7/22. The hotel is well situated, very close to sites, coffee shops, bakeries convenient stores—Nice to CU and 7-Eleven, restaurants, Seoul Station, shopping, etc. The front desk and concierge, especially Alice Kim, was exceptionally welcoming, kind, cheerful, and always ready to assist. My daughter and I had been looking for a nail salon and were not able to secure appointments. Alice found Coco Nail—five minute walk from Ena, booked our appointments, pulled up Coco’s Instagram to allow up to look at designs, printed NAVER map directions, address, time, and marked it on the hotel’s calendar for staff to remind us of the appointment the next day. Our nails turned out fabulously and the owner was very kind. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and modern. We had great views all around. We were so comfortable that we stayed in one day and binged watched the entire second season of Wednesday on Netflix😂! We can hardly for our next trip to Korea/Seoul and will certainly stay at the Ena again!"

Fraser Place Central Seoul

8/10 Good

"The one bedroom family unit was perfect for our family of 4, with one queen bed and one king bed. The location is great, with walking distance to Namdaemun Market and other key central soul attractions. The property is very clean and well maintained, and it's great that they have a pool on site. One modest complaint is that we did not love breakfast. Some items didn't seem fresh (For example, the cereal is placed in open air bowls, so it gets stale quickly, and the bacon tasted old). Also, the dryer took forever and wasn't effective. The dry cycles were 4 hours, and we needed two to dry each load. The units also have a single unit for washing and drying, which also adds to laundry time. Overall, though, it's a great lodging option with excellent service."
