"This is a nice, affordable hotel with awesome staff. Rooms are basic as are many hotels in Korea, and are clean and comfortable (one double bed and one single bed in most rooms). The staff is excellent. We stayed here because a family member works close by. Some neighborhood restaurants are within walking distance as well as a few “quick marts”. Unification park with some hiking trails and a rebuilt 1.000 year old palace is nearby."

Top Dora Observatory Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, our room was on the 20th floor, sometimes took a while for the lift to come, as people on lower floors would request it first, roof top garden could do with a tidy but overall near to two subway exits, easy to get around and the AirPort Express bus drops you close by approx 150 yards."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GIMPO AIRPORT

10/10 Excellent

"Good. Its quite a walk to the terminals. Plan at least 10 mins of walking."

K-Grand Hostel Sinchon

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Hotel was located in a central place but not near the train station. The rooms are quite small but the bathroom was nice. Breakfast was very ordinary and nothing that stood out. Overall the hotel is ok for a couple of nights only."

L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"The location is very strategic. Room is very comfortable. you can see Namsan tower from the lobby. Our room cleaner also very friendly and warm."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Check-in was incredibly easy and efficient. We were also able to check in earlier than the standard time by signing up for the hotel’s free loyalty program. The sign-up process was quick and painless, and it was well worth it for the added convenience of getting into our room early. The location is fantastic. The hotel is conveniently close to the train, making it easy to get around, and it’s also within easy reach of Myeongdong Night Market and Namdaemun Market. There were plenty of things to explore, eat, and shop for right nearby, which made the location especially convenient. Another great feature was the washer and dryer in the lobby. You do need cash to use them, but having laundry facilities right at the hotel was incredibly convenient. It meant we could wash clothes during our trip and avoid bringing a suitcase full of dirty laundry home! Our room also had exquisite views of the city and surrounding hills. Waking up to that scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall, this hotel offered a great combination of convenience, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!"

SOO HOTEL

"This hotel is great, and it's in a nice location with plenty of good food around."

Mayfield Hotel Seoul

"I enjoyed with swimming pool and gym. Good selection with breakfast bar. Recommend extended hours of shuttle bus and more information how to get to your hotel. I had a problem with taxi drivers who did not drive for a short distance from Gimpo Airport to your hotel. Thanks"
