3 Star Hotels in Seoul

Seoul is the most popular holiday destination in Korea with its cutting-edge fashion and technology and ancient attractions and traditions. It is filled with historical architecture and modern skyscrapers and shopping malls, making it truly a fascinating city to visit. It is also home to the country’s main air hub—the Incheon International Airport.

There are nearly 1,000 accommodation options in Seoul catering to all kinds of travellers on all budgets. A great number of these (nearly 250) are 3-star hotels perfect for those visiting the city and wanting a comfortable, mid-range place to stay after a day of exploring. The Hotel Prince Seoul and ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong are the two most popular three-star hotels in Seoul. Both are in the Myeongdong area of the city.

Myeongdong is Seoul’s main shopping district and where many tourists tend to stay. The Hotel Prince Seoul is a modern three-star property right in the heart of the neighbourhood. Its interior is off-white with wood and marble accents and rooms have rich wood furniture and windows that overlook the area. There is a business centre and a restaurant onsite. It also has good meeting and event facilities.

The ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong is also in the centre of the district close to Lotte Department Store, Noon Square, and Myeongdong Theater.

It also has a restaurant that serves a breakfast buffet.

The majority of three-star hotels in Seoul are situated on the north side of the Han River. This is where its main attractions are located.Visitors that would rather stay outside of the busier areas of the city will find a good selection of 3-star properties on the south side of the river, like the Hotel La Casa in Gangnam. Gangnam is the glitziest area of the city and the area that the wealthiest Koreans call home. The Hotel La Casa is a boutique hotel with individually-decorated guest rooms, fitness facilities, and a cosy lounge.
