Hotels near Honghwamun Gate in Seoul

"1. A good place to stay if you are coming from afar and visiting Seoul National University Hospital; it is within a 10-minute walk. 2. Since it recently opened, the accommodation is very clean and equipped with a washing machine, refrigerator, hairdryer, etc. 3. There is no elevator; you have to use the stairs to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. If you have a lot of luggage, try requesting a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor. 4. It is right in front of the convenience store at the bus stop, and the bus stop for Incheon Airport is also very close."

"The Garden Hotel in Seoul turned out to be a great choice for us. The rooms were clean and fresh, especially considering the price, and the location was convenient with just a ten‑minute walk to the nearest station. Perfect for exploring a big city without hassle. We didn’t interact much with the staff, but the hotel provides an emergency number for assistance. When heavy rain caused a small flooding in our room, we received quick help from a very kind and friendly staff member who came right away and took care of everything. It left a reassuring impression. Since we are clean and organized travelers who spend most of the day out in the city, the hotel suited us perfectly. It’s quiet, comfortable, and has good standards for both beds and showers. For a simple and affordable stay, The Garden Hotel is a very good option."

"A friend recommended this place, and I'm so glad they did! The room was clean, tidy, and had great natural light. The bedding was soft and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and check-in was very efficient. The location is super convenient with plenty of food and drink options nearby. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and they even had instant noodles for breakfast! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!"

"Wow~~~~ This accommodation goes beyond the concept of a hostel. Located on a main street in Jongno, Seoul, it is easily accessible, with Euljiro 4-ga Station and Jongno 5-ga Station nearby. You can also explore cultural heritage sites such as Jongmyo Shrine, Changgyeonggung Palace, and Biwon Garden on foot. Even late at night, you can enjoy the night market at Gwangjang Market and the romantic atmosphere of Cheonggyecheon Stream. The accommodation is so clean that the whole place feels like a mirror. I highly recommend this for business trips and sightseeing in Seoul."

"The room was compact, with just a bed and a dresser, but that was perfectly fine as I only needed it for sleeping. The location is great, just a 3-minute walk from the nearest station. 👍 If you have large luggage, I recommend using exit 8 as exit 7 only has stairs. I did notice the sound of other room doors opening and closing, but earplugs would solve that. I requested a room with a TV, but it wasn't provided. Overall, it was clean, and I would consider staying here again if I'm traveling alone."

"This hotel was perfect for my family trip, as I needed to stay in a separate location for a night. The room was small, just the width of a single bed, but surprisingly long enough to leave my suitcase open and still move around comfortably. They provided plenty of towels – not just in the room, but also spares in the shower, which was great for unexpected spills or extra use. My only minor concern was the cleaning and restocking frequency. There were times when the toilet paper ran out and the shower floor was covered in hair. However, any issues were addressed immediately. I had a few incidents where I left my key card in the room or it stopped working, locking me out. In both cases, after a quick phone call, the kiosk automatically resolved the problem, minimizing my wait time and making it incredibly helpful."

"Facilities: The in-room Wi-Fi was spotty and not very reliable. Cleanliness: The hygiene was excellent, and the room was cleaned thoroughly. Ambiance: It had a great atmosphere. Service: Every staff member was smiling and greeted me proactively. There were issues with the toilet and air conditioning during my stay, both of which were resolved."

"Plenty of space for one person, definitely more convenient than for two, as there's only a charging port on one side and a nightstand on the other. The shower water temperature was perfect. The wardrobe had slippers, but they looked a bit old, so we used our own. The trash was collected daily, towels were replaced daily, and water was replenished in the mini-fridge. The only issue was that the fridge didn't get cold enough."

"Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The hotel's convenient location near Myeongdong station was a significant advantage, and I was pleased to receive the room I had requested. The view from the room was delightful, and there were ample lockers available for luggage. The 24-hour minimart in the lobby proved to be incredibly convenient. While shampoo and shower gel were provided, guests should remember to bring their own body lotion and toothbrush. I did notice that the automatic toilet flush button was not functioning, and a used towel had been left in the bathtub."

"A very new and beautiful hotel! The decor is distinctive, and the front desk staff, from the older gentleman to the younger guys, are all warm and friendly. I loved seeing the cat meme posters everywhere! For breakfast, they offer complimentary bagels, paninis, and ciabatta, and the coffee, though paid, is quite good! If the staff aren't too busy, they'll even help pack up your food to go, which is a really thoughtful touch. The only thing that could possibly be improved is the air conditioning or insulation. Our room faced west, so it got a lot of sun. The AC had to run for a long time, only managing to bring the temperature down from 28℃ to just under 27℃. It got quite warm at night if you weren't directly under the vent."
