The Westin Josun Seoul

Sogong-dong, 1.3 km from Gwanghwamun

"Our stay at the Westin Josun was wonderful. All staff were helpful, considerate, polite and friendly from the moment we got out of the taxi to the moment we left 4 days later. Our room was clean with everything we needed. Room service was perfect, and our daily breakfast was superb. We enjoyed our time in the pool. A wonderful time spent with my daughter, I can’t recommend this hotel and staff highly enough."

AMID HOTEL SEOUL

Insa-dong, 0.8 km from Gwanghwamun

"Amid hotel has always been our choice when we stay in Seoul. The hotel location is perfect, within walking distance to all popular spots like the bukchon hanok, Insadong shopping street and Ikseondong area. Myeongdong is also nearby, yet the hotel is in a more quiet spot opposite Jongno Police building. Getting from the airport is also convenient via airport limousine bus and it only takes a couple of minutes from the bus stop on Jong-ro near Jongno tower. Amid staff are very accommodating and...

Stayz437 Jongno

Insa-dong, 1 km from Gwanghwamun

"The reviews that describe the staff (one man) as friendly and helpful are completely right. Whoever owns this place should give him a raise (unless maybe he is the owner). The room is quite small but comfortable enough. And the location is fantastic. Close to everything in central Seoul, and in the heart of a fun bar and restaurant district. If you just need a place to sleep, this hotel is a great bargain."

Sogong-dong, 1.2 km from Gwanghwamun

"I must say, this was an excellent choice, and value for money. The rooms and service felt luxurious. Even though we slept until 2pm, the cleaning crew waited and came to clean in the afternoon. The hotel was well connected to myeongdong by underground walk, so you don't have to worry about heat or rain. Take the airport bus to Westin Josun, it's next by. You don't have to climb metro stairs with heavy luggage. Convenience store next by."
