Top National Folk Museum Hotel Reviews

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, right in Myeongdong. Next to Lotte duty free mall. Friendly staffs, even though hotel room is small but well-kept. Their breakfast is also a must to do, since most places in South Korean won’t open until 10am or later."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Best Buffett breakfast I’ve had in my Asia travels"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Great location - close to Myeongdong. But immediate vicinity is by old hardware shops. You will need to walk 10 minutes either way to get anywhere. Room was a little small for a family of 4, but we made due. Housekeeping brought fresh towels everyday. E-mart on the reception level was very convenient."

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"2일동안 편안하게 지내다가는 깨끗하고 칝절한 호텔입니다 강추합니다"

N285 Hotel Insadong

8/10 Good

"The room is definitely much smaller than I expected. The shower was small and tight. But the stream was good. The bed was sloppy it sagged in the head area and in the middle. We had a hard time sleeping at night. The air conditioning worked great and was very cold even at 23 C at night. The furniture I wish could have been smaller so we could move our luggage’s around. However we made it work and it was decent. The location is where it shines, it’s literally in the heart of insadong and priced competitively. The first floor had a CU attached to the building and that was very convenient,"

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

8/10 Good

"Great location"

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong

8/10 Good

"The hotel is ok because it was recently renovated. Room size is small. There is only 2 washers and dryers for guests to use. You need to pay for them. Bathroom has a smell from either fan or sewer. The hotel’s location is good and it is close to line 3 subway."

Koreana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was good hotel, we really enjoyed restaurant"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"I like the location, step out of the building and you are already surrounded by the many food stalls.and shops. Olive young is just beside the building. Massage facial, and hair care inside the building. Bus is 5 -7mins walk but UBER cost only 9$ for a 20- 30 mins ride, staff are very helpful. The bathroom is together with the toilet but its still bidet. Bed is hard but acceptable. Over all very good"
