"以前より、韓屋に泊まってみたかった私でした。存分に雰囲気味わえました。チェックインはセルフでしたが(事前に詳しいやり方が知らされるので)問題なかったです。私が泊まった部屋は超コンパクト(TV無し)で一瞬戸惑いましたが、すぐに慣れて、時間がゆっくり流れる癒しの空間が帰る頃には心地よかったです。備品は、十分に補充出来ますし、軽食もフリーで頂けました。あと、立地が最高です！電車もバスも乗り場は近いし、東大門のショッピングセンターにも徒歩ですぐ行けるし、都会ソウルの癒しスポット「清渓川」もすぐそこです。韓国にはもう何回も行ってますが、今回のステイはその中でも上位に来るくらい魅力的でした。"

Top Gwanghuimun Gate Hotel Reviews

Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Best location"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"It was clean and quiet. I liked having the kitchenette and washing machine although there is no dryer. I did not have a view and the balcony did not have a chair and it was overlooked by the building next door. The room was quite small but the bed comfortable and shower was good The area was nondescript but close to a subway."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very clean and a good size. It was very conveniently ocated with easy access to the subway and airport shuttle service right outside the hotel. The staff was very helpful as well. The only complaint is that the food at the hotel restaurant was not the best. Although there is a nice cafe downstairs. But, that is a very minor issue."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Typical city hotel, clean and large room. Has coffee place and easy access for taxis and close to train. Great location in myeongdong. Basically a 10 minute walk to anything in area. It has a gym. The staff was very friendly. You can chose either walk in shower or tub shower. Our walk in could use a good cleaning as there was a little mildew but very spacious. You stay there for the location. :)"

The Summit Hotel Seoul Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Love the cafe and CU convenience store in the lobby. The housekeepers came every day to make our beds and clean up the room. The hotel is located in a less busy road but very easy to get around, plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Also love that the airport limousine bus stops right in front of the hotel. It was one of the reasons why I booked this hotel. Will definitely stay here again."
