Top Jangchung-dong Hotel Reviews

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic Location, great breakfast very helpful staff, highly recommend"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for a short stay in Seoul this hotel is very close to a lot of local amenities, shopping and restaurants. We had an excellent stay and would return. The area is busy in the evenings so it was loud some nights but that wasn’t too much of a disturbance. The staff were incredibly helpful, there is coin-operated laundry which is very convenient. The breakfast offering is simple more continental style with espresso coffee, toast, cereal, enough to get you started for the day and with convenience stores and cafes close by if you prefer. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller with not very much korean. Thank you StepInn for a wonderful stay."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely clean and the room was spacious. I loved the scent of the shower gel/shampoo/conditioner, the shower and toilet were clean and had their own space/door. Loved the fact that the room had a washer and dryer and the convenient stores nearby and on the 2nd floor made doing laundry a breeze. They even have a coin luggage next to the hotel to store luggage in case you arrive before check-in or decide on last-minute shopping after check-out. Walking distance to Myeongdong market and was able to stroll at Cheonggyecheon stream every evening since it's half a block from the hotel. We will definitely be staying at this place again in the future. Thank you for an amazing stay."

Stanford Hotel Seoul

8/10 Good

"The location is relatively quiet for Seoul but there are enough shops and restaurants within walking distance: Thevplace is well maintained and clean although the electric outlet in our room did work it was fixed in the next morning. The staff tried hard to help but many of them only had limited skill in English. There were a variety of foods in the breakfast buffet but the quality was only average."
