"Good location, helpful staff , although having a concierge service would have been better to guide us through the city. Great places to eat around and access to metro and buses. Janat and Kim are very helpful at the front desk. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Lastly for budget minded travelers book early and breakfast is included and a decent variety to eat . French bakery tous le jous was a great experience as well and the K bbq was authentic. Thank you"

Top Gwanak-gu Hotel Reviews

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent

"Luxurious hotel in the centre of Seoul close to Lotte department store with an amazing bar and pool"

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

8/10 Good

"Second time staying here. Everything was great again except for a persistent noise heard in our room possibly from plumbing? We noticed it after the weather turned cold and the hotel turned on their heating system. The noise was quite disturbing especially at night when trying to sleep. Outside of that, our stay was great. The hotel was clean and the staff extremely friendly."

Grand Hyatt Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hyatt Seoul. The staff were consistently friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our visit. We normally ate breakfast in a city restaurant or market, but when we did have the hotel's buffet breakfast it was excellent with lots of choices. Having the dinner at Tenkai was one of the highlights of our trip. Our king city-view room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable, with memorable views of Seoul. Sunrise over Seoul perfection! The location was perfect for us because it offered a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding Seoul neighborhoods. The hotel sits atop a steep hill, and while there is a convenience store within walking distance, most guests will likely rely on taxis or the hotel's shuttle service to nearby subway stations. The shuttle was very convenient, although it does not operate 24 hours a day. My only minor criticism is that the lobby felt somewhat dark. Overall, an excellent stay that I would happily recommend."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

8/10 Good

"The hotel location was very convenient. It was clean, pretty well maintained. The staff were very helpful and were always available. The breakfast was very basic. The room and bathroom was very tiny. If you have luggage make sure you don’t pick the single room with bunk beds. Overall it was a pleasant stay."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic unlike I expected. I always stayed at Lotte City Hotel Gimpo Airport but Lotte City Hotel Guro is much better in terms of the eatery places and other facilities. The parking was also very convenient. I was surprised that there were so many foreigners because Guro is not the tourist place."
