4-Star Hotels in Seoul

The location is fantastic! Although the room was small, the layout was very efficient. I was surprised they even managed to fit a bathtub and had a separate wet/dry area in such a small space – only in Japan/Korea! The great location meant I could pop back to the hotel to drop off my shopping, which saved a lot of time. Plus, if you cut through the Olive Young store next door, you can get to the other side of the street easily. When checking out, you can use the self-service machine on the first floor, which is super quick. Cars can pull right up to the entrance in the morning and evening. At other times, you have to walk a short distance, but overall, it's very convenient – a one-stop shop for eating, shopping, and exploring!

The front desk staff were incredibly warm and friendly. The room was very quiet and well-equipped, with universal power outlets, so no adapter was needed. The hotel's surroundings were lively, making shopping very convenient. There's a 24-hour convenience store right across the street, and Hongdae shopping street is just a 5-minute walk away.

The hotel is well-equipped and located within a bustling business district. Its decor is modern and minimalist. Downstairs, you'll find a variety of restaurants, and it's a short walk to Guanghua Plaza. The bedding is incredibly soft, and both bus and subway stations are conveniently close. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The hotel's location is incredibly convenient; it's right next to a subway station, literally just a wall away on the upper floor. It's also only a one-minute walk to the pedestrian street entrance. I was worried about crowded elevators, but that wasn't an issue at all. The staff were also quite friendly. The only downsides were the very limited breakfast selection and the poor soundproofing in the rooms. There was someone stomping around upstairs – not sure which country they were from! Overall, my stay was pretty perfect.

The room size was just right, not too big, not too small, and it had a balcony with a great view for watching the sunrise – absolutely stunning! I’ve uploaded pictures of the view at different times of the day for everyone’s reference. The transportation is incredibly convenient; there are several subway lines right downstairs to choose from, and as soon as you step out, there are all sorts of dining options. The mall is also right downstairs, making it super easy to buy anything you need! Most importantly, I love to run, and this hotel is very close to Cheonggyecheon Stream, which is a dream come true for running enthusiasts! It's a 5km one-way run, making it 10km round trip! Fantastic! The hotel breakfast was also a highlight; the fried chicken, noodles, and mixed salads were absolutely delicious! Plus, the front desk staff were very friendly. When we arrived, there was even a guide who spoke Chinese, which was very nice! I'll definitely choose this place again next time! Unforgettable Seoul, you brought me endless surprises!

This hotel boasts a great location, approximately 400 meters from City Hall Station (Line 2) and about 500 meters from Hoehyeon Station (Line 4), both distances are quite manageable. It's also very close to attractions like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village, and public transport access is super convenient. There are plenty of dining options nearby, including fried chicken and beer spots, and of course, Korean BBQ is a must-try. All of these are within 100-200 meters of the hotel. Korean food is generally spicy, but I found a restaurant nearby with a Chinese sign, I think it was called Bukchon House, where I had a delicious, non-spicy beef and rice soup. The hotel exterior is impressive, and I remember the lobby is on the 11th floor, as is the breakfast area. The environment is clean, and the service attitude is excellent.

This hotel is beautiful. It was very clean and quiet outside, but closest to everything without being chaotic. It was so so clean and the room was big. The washer in the room is so convenient. It’s a little much to drag your luggage from check in to building B, but it’s still worth it. I’d definitely stay here again.

Sky Garden Dongdaemun 1 is in a fantastic location. It's just a few minutes' walk to the Dongdaemun shopping area, and there's an airport shuttle stop right across the street, making transfers to and from the airport super convenient. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. The 24-hour front desk had staff who spoke Chinese, which made communication very smooth. There are plenty of convenience stores and restaurants nearby. It's definitely my top choice for shopping and getting around – I'll stay here again next time I'm in Seoul.

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.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel during my trip to Seoul. The hotel was nice and clean, and the check-in process was fast and smooth, which made arrival stress-free. Although the room was a bit small, it was still comfortable enough for 3 people. One of the highlights is the location, there are plenty of food stalls around the hotel, offering authentic local bites without the overwhelming crowds you’d find in Myeongdong. Personally, I found this area much more enjoyable and relaxing. The metro station is just a 3-minute walk away, making it very convenient to explore the city. Travel Tip: From the airport, take the train to Seoul Station (either normal or express), then transfer to the blue line to Chungmuro Station. If you’re carrying luggage, Exit 5 is the best choice since it has an escalator — just walk toward Starbucks. Otherwise, Exit 7 is a quicker option. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient, and well-located stay in Seoul.
