3-Star Hotels in Seoul

The Stanford Hotel Myeongdong boasts an excellent location. It's just a few minutes' walk to Euljiro 1(il)-ga Subway Station, which is on Line 2 and connects to Line 4 for Myeongdong Station and Seoul Station. Myeongdong Shopping Street is right downstairs, making dining, shopping, and getting around incredibly convenient. The airport limousine bus stop is also close by, located right in front of the Ibis Hotel. The room was clean, tidy, and well-lit, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering city views. The bedding was comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly, and there was even an uncle who spoke Chinese, making communication very smooth. The hotel is well-equipped with amenities like a laundry room and a gym. The only minor drawback is that the room is a bit small; it was a little inconvenient to walk around once we had two 24-inch suitcases open. Overall, it offers great value for money. If you're visiting Seoul and prioritize convenience, I highly recommend staying here.

This hotel is located in Ikseon-dong, about a 5-minute walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, Exit 6, with a CU convenience store nearby. There are many dining options in the area, and popular spots like Mil Toast and Salt Bread are also within walking distance. Anguk Station is only about a 10-minute walk away, making it easy to reach Dotori Garden, Shilla Myunok, and Onion. The room is equipped with a washing machine, refrigerator, and microwave, which is great for storing frozen food and ice cream from the convenience store, or kimchi from the market. There's no bathtub, only a shower, but a step and door separate it from the toilet, so the toilet area stays dry. Since there's no daily cleaning service, I just washed my towels with my clothes at night while I slept, which worked out perfectly. The washer/dryer combo was incredibly convenient – I didn't need to pack many clothes or worry about hanging them to dry. The only minor drawback was the noise from the washing machine in the room if you run it while sleeping. It's probably best to run it when you're out. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I'd definitely want to stay here again.

1. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the bustling commercial district. Everything you need for dining, entertainment, and shopping is just a step away. It's close to everything, making getting around super efficient. 2. The cleanliness is meticulously maintained. The entire room was spotless and fresh. There were plenty of dry towels, and the bathroom had no water stains or odors – very friendly for germaphobes. ⚠️Cons: The room space is really cramped. There's no way to open two suitcases, and you can only walk sideways in the aisle. It would be very uncomfortable if you have a lot of luggage. Summary: This place is suitable for solo travelers who pack light and want to go shopping. If you have a lot of luggage or are traveling with multiple people, consider other options carefully.

This SL Hotel in Myeongdong is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Myeongdong Night Market. The room facilities are excellent, with a washer and dryer, and the bed is extra large. It's close to the subway station, making transportation very accessible, and the location is fantastic. There's a convenience store downstairs, and it offers great value for money. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone shopping in the Myeongdong area.

There's not much in the way of service in Korea, so that's pretty normal. They can store luggage for you, and at least they don't give you a dirty look, which is a plus. However, this hotel doesn't clean rooms daily. I paid over 1000 and still didn't expect that; they only clean once every four days! The windows in this hotel are designed in a way that lets in a lot of light, so if you're sensitive to light while sleeping, bring an eye mask! Definitely avoid the lower floors, or be sure to bring earplugs! Ctrip's customer service was excellent and kept trying to resolve issues, but there's no negotiating with hotels abroad. So, for places like this, it's better to book through a major platform, otherwise, it can be a really frustrating experience! I found short hairs on the bed in another room, and they actually asked me how I could prove the hair was theirs. All of us have long hair... so, Koreans have a strange way of thinking. If you're a clean freak, you might want to bring your own bedding.

Convenient location, perfect for solo travelers! Location: Situated between two subway stations with lots of nearby dining options and convenience stores. Room Layout: A duplex/loft style. The lower level has the bathroom and a small sofa area (enough space to open one suitcase; best for 1 person). The upper level is the bedroom (steep stairs—not recommend for elderly or those with mobility issues) Amenities: Large TVs on both levels. Towels, water, and basic amenities are provided. Cleanliness is decent. Service: Great customer support via WeChat. They can easily arrange room cleaning and help book airport transportation. 房間：5 服務：5 地點：4

This was such a great find for my 24-hour layover in Seoul. The location is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from Seoul Station. Once you exit the station, stay on the same side and look for the outdoor elevator. It takes you up to Seoullo 7017, an elevated garden walkway, which leads you almost directly to the hotel. It made getting there with luggage surprisingly easy and was a pleasant walk.

The uncle and auntie at the front desk were both really nice and helped us arrange a taxi to the airport. In the lobby on the first floor, there's free water, disposable cutlery, biscuits, and more. There's a 24-hour convenience store right next to the hotel, and a bakery and restaurant across the street. The only downside is that it's a bit of a walk, a few hundred meters, to the subway station. Because it's not in the bustling city center, there are a lot of locals on the streets during the day and night, and it's very quiet.

The room was spotless and well-stocked with amenities. The hotel staff at the front desk were very kind. There were some mornings where I'd be woken up by noise or loud conversations in the hallway, but overall it was a comfortable stay. On my last day, as I was about to check out and leave the room, I found my auto-locked door had been opened, and was slightly ajar. This was about an hour and a half before check-out time. Since there was only one door separating my room from the hallway, I had no idea how long it had been open. As a solo traveler, I found this quite frightening.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! 👍 The only downside is that the room is a bit small. The front desk staff speak English, and the cleanliness is decent; I always bring my own disposables anyway. Myeongdong is right downstairs, with large Olive Young beauty stores and CU convenience stores. Shopping and dining are incredibly convenient. If you turn left out of the hotel, Myeongdong Station Exit 5 is a 1-minute walk. If you turn right, Lotte Duty-Free and Shinsegae Duty-Free, along with department stores, are less than a 10-minute walk away. The subway and taxis are also super convenient nearby. The 6015 airport limousine bus goes directly to the hotel! 👍👍👍
