Jongno-1.2.3.4 ga-dong, 1.9 km from Hyehwamun Gate

"I had the best stay at Hostel Tommy - it is literally seconds away from Ikseon-dong Hanok Village (one of the coolest places as a visitor) and a 3-min walk from Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station, making it super convenient and accessible. There is a 7-eleven right next to the hostel which is such a plus. The vibe was so homey and cozy, I felt incredibly safe and taken care of as a female solo traveller. The room was so comfortable too, I almost did not want to leave my room, haha! A huge shoutout to the...

"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

8/10 Good

"Room, staff, everything was really good, with the exception of breakfast. In 6 nights I only had it twice as it wasn't very good at all. The second time I tried it I was sick afterwards."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"It's worth the price. I love how it's located right in the middle of everything. Thank you for breakfast. I love the laundry facility."

Orakai Daehakro Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff, but the elevators had very long waits. The washing machine malfunctioned. There was an electrical burn issue n had headaches for 2days when in the lobby area."

Anook Hotel & Spa Seoul Jongno Anguk 2nd

10/10 Excellent

"Near the main attractions, easy to get transportation, clean comfortable bed and pillows … spacious bathrooms…"

Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased with the staff at the front desk. From check-in to check-out they helped with our requests. The breakfast area staff were diligently clearing the tables, refilling food and drinks and helping as they could with requests. We used the laundry and the area was kept clean by staff. The room cleaning were excellent with changing of the sheets and towel replacement and also the water bottles. This was our second visit and we would return."

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun No.2

10/10 Excellent

"good quality"

Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were multilingual and willing to help with everything possible. The room was simple, bathroom was spacious and clean. Each floor has a shared kitchen with a microwave. Each room has a mini-fridge. A 7-11 opened in the lobby recently, so you can get banana milk 24/7 (good or bad, you decide). Location is soooooo convenient. I was able to get to the subway easily. It was perfectly located for everything I had planned. Uber pick-up and drop-offs were easy as well. Maaany food options in the nearby streets and neighborhood. Post office was about a 12 minute walk away. I cannot wait for my next trip. My friends all want to stay here too after they asked for my opinion. They know I am simple but can be picky about little things. So my recommendation means a lot to them since I pinpoint areas they also have issues with and tell them whether they will be okay or not."

Snowflower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"It’s very tiny basic accommodation but it was great value for the price. A super convenient location near the subway."
