"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

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely large clean room that was also cleaned daily. Great reception and 24hr convenience store on site. Within walking distance to Myeongdong but nicely out the way. Would recommend this hotel."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel with confortable beds, nice rooms, great location and very complete breakfast buffet. Close to main attractions. Very recommendable."

Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae by IHG

8/10 Good

"Takes 45 min straight from Incheon Airport to Holiday Inn Express via ARAX. The hotel is conveniently located just above exit 5 of Hongik station. Plenty of amenities locally- lots of young students so buzzing until late night. However extremely safe and haven’t had any problems with anyone. Everyone is courteous and polite. Extremely rule-abiding people and expect the same from visitors too!! Our room on 13 th floor— small but compact for 2; Little disappointed about lack of wardrobes but actually didn’t matter. Clean bathrooms and toilets; warm water available all day. The rooms were actually cleaned and linen/towels changed daily, though we didn’t request them. Its a bit further away from the city centre (40-45 min) by Tube so if you are attending conferences like we did in COEX then may not be the best location. Breakfast was included and reasonably plenty of options that my 22 year old son tried and loved. Washing and dryer on the 16th floor and easy to use via cards. Overall a good experience and value for money!!"
