Top Hyehwa-dong Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly and polite. The room was much more spacious than I expected, and I loved having a washer, dryer, and styler in the room. The location was also very convenient, with easy access to nearby transportation and major attractions."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Lotte City Myeongdong - and would stay here again or recommend to friends visiting Seoul for the first time. Just located slightly away for the busiest parts of Myeongdong so perfect to come back to and walk about from. Check-in was easy and the staff allowed us to check in 3 hours early which was perfect. Room was clean and tidy with the expected amenities. Only thing missing was an iron but there is an ironing room on the 3rd floor. Bathroom is a good size with a modern Japanese-style toilet. A perfect stay all around!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent

"Ideally situated near the subway, with excellent airport limousine stops, the hotel is clean and convenient. There are copious amounts of eateries and the nearby side streets were my fave! Lively in a real lived in way vs the tourist hustle and bustle of Hongdae et al. It's 20 minutes or so to Hongdae, so not too considering the location."
