Four Seasons Hotel Seoul
4.6/5121 Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

Myeong-dong Seoul|1.41km from Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)
I have had the pleasure of staying at many different four seasons locations, however Four Seasons Seoul was and is by far my favorite. I flew in from the US and requested a car to pick me up at the airport in Seoul and staff was waiting for me outside when I arrived. They pre checked me in since I was traveling internationally and had arranged for me to go directly to the room. The staff was thoughtful and continued to add personal touches the entire stay. The majority of the staff is multi lingual and helped to helped to arrange transportation and exterior details of my activities and appointments. They genuinely went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and extraordinary. Cannot wait to come back!
The Plaza Seoul, Autograph Collection

The Plaza Seoul, Autograph Collection

Myeong-dong Seoul|1.85km from Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)
Excellent location in the heart of Seoul with easy access to temples, public transportation, and food. We had a suite that was smaller than most normal rooms at other Marriott properties (especially autograph tier) akin to staying in a New York or Hong Kong hotel. The size of the room was disappointing but ultimately it is a great location. The Boulangerie on the way to the metro is great 👌🏻

Latest booking 24 hrs ago

The location of the hotel is its main selling point. It is right where the action is. The employees are friendly, polite and very helpful. Service is premium. With the above, I would definitely recommend this place! My drawback is the breakfast offered. The choice and spread is very limited. It is better to go out and eat.
Lotte Hotel Seoul
4.6/5121 Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul

Myeong-dong Seoul|2.05km from Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)
The hotel was clean and organized. The front desk was helpful and their were ladies that helped us to deliver our suitcases. I am not sure what their titles were but I just found that it was rather odd since most hotels in North America hired young men to do this. Kudos to the hotel for not type casting roles. The location was very good. The downstairs food court and restaurant was very tasty and clean. I would definitely go back to this hotel if I am ever in Korea again.
Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower
4.6/595 Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Myeong-dong Seoul|2.09km from Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)
Stayed at the Lotte Executive Tower just after the holidays, in a Premier Double Room. Pros: - The entrance of the Executive Tower is absolutely beautiful. Same with the Main Tower. Elegant, refined, beautiful art work. The executive tower check-in desks are on the 15th floor. - Easy access by escalator directly into the Lotte Department Store (from where the escalator takes you to, hang a right to get to the famous food hall!) - Location can’t be beat. Directly across from Eujiro Station (1) and around the corner from Myeong-Dong Walking Street / Night Market and several 7-11s (which are almost as good as the 7-11s in Japan). - Our room was beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Very modern touches and upscale finishes. A chandelier in the bathroom?? - Immaculate housekeeping. - Excellent temperature and very strong water pressure in the shower! - Appreciate the 2 complimentary bottles of Evian every day. - Fast wifi speeds. Cons: - Love the Diptyque toiletries but wish they weren’t the communal / shared bottles. There were bits of dried lotion crusted on the pump from the previous occupant. - Weird that neither lobby had a single chair to sit on. What’s up with that? Comes off a bit inhospitable. This isn’t the type of place to attract non-guests / loiterers. A bench wouldn’t kill anyone! - For a 5* hotel and the price we’re paying, it’s disappointing that there is a surcharge should you need a toothbrush, toothpaste or use of the sauna (!!). They claim the charge for toothbrush and paste is to prevent wastage but surely you could just have these small items available upon request at the front desk? - The doormen’s manners range from formal and friendly (some) to indifferent (most) to downright hostile (many), especially if you are not a Korean speaker, as many don’t speak English. I’m not arrogant enough to think they should speak English in a non-English speaking country, but a smile is universal, you know? Would likely stay here again at the right price and given the location.

Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station

Seoul Station Seoul|2.65km from Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)

Latest booking 24 hrs ago

The walk from seoul station is not that near. Quite a long walk with direct underpass but flat surface. Take note the underpass only 6am-11pm only. Room was huge for 1 pax, you can even open 2 big luggages on the floor. Had the first guest floor which is on 20th floor, which is quite high already. Room was clean and pillow was soft. Iron only 1 in laundry room.
Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul
4.1/5107 Reviews

Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul

Seoul|2.75km from Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)
I had a really cozy and comfortable stay. It was very classic from the entrance, so it was very cool. The room is also classically set up, and it was great to have a separate table to work on and a table to enjoy refreshments. The bed was also neat and tidy, and it was cozy and fluffy. The hotel lounge was decorated like a resort, like being in Europe, so I felt comfortable and like I was on vacation. If I had to pick one thing that was really disappointing, it was that the water pressure in the shower was a little disappointing. Other than that, it was a really neat and comfortable hotel, and it was nice. The location was also close to Yeonhui/Yeonnam/Mangwon/Hapjeong, and it was also close to Gyeongbokgung Palace, so the location was very good. It was a hotel that I thought would be nice to stay again if I had a chance :)

Didn't dine at the restaurant at Shilla Stay. Overall service is good..... the only exception is that most of the staff could not speak English which is kind of inconvenient when we asked for information. The concierge should provide railway routes map and bus routes map.

My recent stay at UH Suite Central Seoul was nothing short of perfect. Impeccable cleanliness throughout. Peter, Jace, and Victoria exemplified hospitality at its finest, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. The attention to detail in the rooms and common areas showcased the hotel's commitment to excellence. Its central location made exploring Seoul a breeze. I highly recommend UH Suite for a flawless stay in Korea. Lift abit small

Please do not book this hotel. It is dark, scary. At least for me. So much cigarette smell. I have never stayed this kind of hotel before so I just left as soon as I saw the room and environment. I could not cancel since I checked in already. But it was good decision to leave that hotel right away.

It's about meeting people's families, sharing children's lives with one another. My heart is in the middle of the city, I'm in the middle of the day, I'm in the middle of the day, I'm in the middle of the day, I'm going to go to the middle of the day. It's all about living in a small family. It's a good idea for old people, it's easy for people to live in harmony with the world, it's for the Korean language, it's for old people, it's for the elderly. The garden is so pretty. Gyeongbokgung Palace and Ewha Womans University are close to the city center, and there are subways and buses outside. The owner was very friendly and spoke to me in Korean and even gave me a small gift before leaving. Awesome!
