Seoul and related destinations

Wander through Myeongdong Street's neon wonderland, where cosmetic shops offer free samples with such enthusiasm you'll need an extra suitcase. Namdaemun Market's labyrinthine alleys hide food stalls where ajummas serve dumplings with no-nonsense efficiency. The ancient gates of palaces stand in defiant contrast to Gangnam's gleaming towers, a juxtaposition that somehow makes perfect sense. At Lotte World, families scream on roller coasters while businessmen in suits eat ice cream with surprising dignity. COEX Mall houses an Instagram-famous library where books create waves across the ceiling. Don't miss street food vendors who transform simple ingredients into culinary magic with the casual brilliance of people who've perfected one dish for decades.

"We had a wonderful stay at ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun! The location is excellent, and the price is very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet, which we purchased as part of our room rate, was absolutely fantastic! There was a great variety of delicious food to choose from, making it a wonderful way to start each day. The location was perfect for exploring Seoul. We were able to walk to Namdaemun Market, Myeongdong, and Namsan, and take a short subway ride to Bukchon Hanok Village. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun to anyone visiting Seoul. It offers excellent value, comfortable rooms, friendly service, and a great breakfast in a convenient location. We would definitely stay here again!"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent
"Centrally located within Seoul in Myeongdong, but just outside (essentially one block removed) of all the action so it is much more quieter and a significant positive for me. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. Highly recommend having the buffet at least once on your visit. Hotel is conveniently located next to the subway so it is extremely easy and accessible to get around every major neighborhood. It is also walking distance to Seoul Station, but I would recommend taking a cab/taxi/Uber for convenience as the area is generally within a major node for traffic."
