"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

Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok

8/10 Good

"Clean room and convenient for our purposes, but the room was cozy than I expected."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GIMPO AIRPORT

8/10 Good

"It's right above a big mall that is quite fun. The staff were kind and the room was comfy."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff friendly and efficient. God laundry facility. Great location"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"As a first time traveller and travelling alone the staff at check in were super polite and helpful and explained everything clearly. They were also helpful throughout the stay if I had any questions e.g where the paid luggage storage was which was also super handy and really easy to use. Staff throughout the hotel particularly those who cleaned the rooms were very kind and the room was cleaned really well with two bottles of water provided daily. The GS25 also being at the hotel was really handy. Will 100% stay here again next time I visit Korea as also in an ideal location"

L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"The hotel was comfortable, convenient, and a great choice for my solo trip to Seoul. Great views from the room, daily breakfast had a good selection, and the staff were very helpful. It was also easy to get around as an English speaker. My only complaint is that check-in and check-out times get extremely busy, and I waited 15–20 minutes to catch an elevator when leaving, so build in extra time on your departure day."

Mayfield Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best hotels I’ve been in Korea so far. Extremely well designed and constructed sites and completed with neat modern and luxurious touch. It was clean and very stylish hotel and all the staffs were so friendly and accommodating. It’s a resort like hotel just about 5-7 min drive from Gimpo airport. They also run shuttle to the airport as well as nearby shopping malls and cute city called Magok. Also a great outing you can plan from the hotel. I didn’t expect this resort type hotel in Seoul at all to be honest. One downside is that their onsite drinks, food and snacks were quite high prices but besides that everything was perfect with comfort, great design amenities and hospitality. I’d definitely visit again in the future."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely well located hotel. Staff were great. Lifts are a bit confusing. But otherwise a property I’d definitely recommend"

Stanford Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel beautiful surroundings friendly staff"

Hongdae Local Stitch Creator Town Seogyo

10/10 Excellent

"Being a Pet-friendly facility made my trip hassle free and it is in a nice local neighborhood with lots of good cafes and restaurants. Staff was very friendly and helpful."
