Hotels with Breakfast in Seoul

A wonderful stay at Mercure! My Executive King room with a balcony was comfortable and offered lovely views. The balcony was a highlight, providing a relaxing space to unwind after a full day exploring Seoul. It was a memorable stay that made my trip even more enjoyable. I would happily return and recommend Mercure to anyone visiting Seoul.

There were many design features in the room that I particularly liked. Firstly, the shower, toilet, and sink areas were all separate, providing excellent wet/dry separation. Secondly, there was a convenient counter outside the shower, perfect for placing clothes and using a hairdryer. Thirdly, I appreciated the double-track curtains. Even though it was the cheapest economy room with no view, the ceiling height was ample, and both the air conditioning and air purifier worked effectively, ensuring no strange odors or stuffiness. In addition, there were many other positives: 220v sockets were available, eliminating the need for an adapter; a toothbrush and toothpaste set, as well as disposable slippers, were provided; the room was exceptionally clean; the shower pressure was excellent; and the hotel's proximity to Shindorim subway station was a huge plus. Overall, my stay was fantastic, offering great value for money. I highly recommend it!

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 location is super convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby downstairs and a 7-Eleven right across the street. Euljiro 1-ga subway station is just a 3-minute walk away, and Myeongdong's main street is a short stroll further, so you can drop off your shopping bags upstairs after a spree. Breakfast is provided, and there's a free washing machine and dryer available. The only minor inconvenience is the lack of a refrigerator in the room.

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.

We are a well-traveled, Korean-American couple with adult child who stayed in the Botanik for one week in October 2026. Hotel is large, consisting of two buildings A and B-dong. Full of foreigners, a lot of Japanese, a few Australian, SE Asians, Americans/Canadians, a tour group of Israelis, a few Indians, Middle Easterners. English-speaking lobby staff. New and nicely appointed rooms with a modern/contemporary design. Not everyone may appreciate the industrial nature of the area, but we loved it. Hotel is adjacent to a covered car park that houses a 70-80’s-era block of small businesses dealing in specialized electrical parts and small appliances. Behind the hotel is a tented market stand selling grains, seaweed, squid, handmade wooden kitchen tools (highly recommend), other small items like back scrubbers and such. This area is undeveloped, a bit old and a bit dilapidated. I hope they keep it. Incredible character. There is some kind of high rise in construction adjacent to the hotel on the other side. Also next to the hotel is a wonderful coffee shop “Burnt Seoul” that is like something out of post-War Europe. Ubers are easy to call from the hotel. $6-10 to pretty much anywhere north of the river, about $10-$12 to Gangnam. Ubers were so affordable we didn’t bother with public transportation. In our 3-person suite, we had a washer and portable drying rack (standard for Korea), steam closet, electric cooktop, electric water kettle, microwave (it may have had an oven option, but too difficult to figure out and not worth the fire risk), kitchen sink/sponge/dish detergent, 3 spoons/forks and 1(?) butter knife, 3 wine glasses and mugs. A slim, full-sized fridge/freezer, plates, no bowls. No kitchen knife or cutting board, no pots or pans or cooking utensils (though I believe they are provided upon request). So, minimally stocked to actually cook inside the room. The other amenities, such as gym, we did not use. The pool was closed by October. The hotel does not store your luggage but there is a locker storage room on site for 2000 won. There is also a small grocery in the complex and another one downstairs outside. There is a laundromat next to that store, which I imagine has dryers. All in all, we would stay here again. We had reason once to call for help in our room. I believe it was the manager on duty who came, and he was so kindly and respectful (removed his shoes at the door), it left a very good, last impression of the place. I would love it if there had been just a few more square feet open floor space, and translated appliance instructions in English for ultimate convenience. But excellent value for everything provided here.

Overall, my stay was great! The room was a bit small, but it was spotless. For two people, there wasn't much space to lay out luggage, but we managed to pack and unpack. The room amenities were a pleasant surprise: a large fridge and two washing machines. We didn't use them during our short trip, but they would be incredibly useful for long-term travelers. The hotel also provides two complimentary bottles of water daily, and the shower pressure was excellent and very comfortable. The front desk service was a big plus; the staff spoke Chinese, making the check-in process seamless. The location is superb, with a convenience store right downstairs – perfect for buying water, snacks, and daily necessities. Myeongdong shopping area is also within walking distance, making shopping and errands incredibly easy. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Seoul!

Right in front of Seoul KTX station 2nd floor was connected to Seoul station with sky bridge Super convenient with huge suitcase Room has a unique windows 1 on the top 1 on the bottom as we still can open the curtain and enjoy the night view Breakfast was so yummy with drinks 1st floor has a huge restaurant for pizza and beer Lovely! Super recommend especially if you have an early train Be careful! it still need 20min walk to the KTX platform as Seoul station is huge

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.

Not a place I would recommend (reason below): I understand It is a cheap accomodation, There's a bit of mold, a lot of dust, and persistent body odor in the dormitory. The sheets are clean, but theres 1 tiny washroom shared across 12 guests in the mixed dorm. You certainly do get what you pay for in terms of the amenities. However, what cannot be discounted by the affordable price is the staff service. The workers here were the rudest hospitality staff that we'd ever experienced. For context, the hostel operates on an automated check in and cleaning system. This means that the staff-to-guest relationship is largely unmanaged. This manifested in the staff being extremely entitled and quick to anger. I was rudely shoved by one member two times in the time that we stayed here. He was always very angrily cleaning and pushing past customers. In another case, one of the staff members who was boarding in the mixed dorm with us was so entitled to the room that she would constantly give us attitude and rude gestures everytime we came back to the room, no matter the time of day. They even asked one of us to leave so they could take a call. A staff member asking a paying guest to leave their paid-for accomodation so that they can sit and do with their personal matters is unacceptable behaviour. Ultimately, as great as the location is (right next to the Metro), and as manageable the room setup was, the way that guests are treated here makes this a place that I would recommend skipping. There are many other Hostels in this price range that I cannot imagine to be as awful.
