Romantic Hotels in Seoul

"The location is fantastic! It's super close to the subway station and the airport bus stop. Plus, there are convenience stores like CU, GS25, 7-Eleven, and shops like Olive Young and Daiso right nearby. So convenient!"

"My stay at HOTEL BOTANIK's Deluxe King Room in Myeongdong exceeded my expectations. The room had a modern, apartment-style feel with brand new facilities and full amenities, making it ideal for those planning a longer stay in Seoul. The in-room amenities were definitely the highlight. The air conditioning had a control panel for temperature adjustment, and it came equipped with an AirDresser, a washer-dryer combo, a separate fridge and freezer, an induction hob, and a microwave oven. Inside the cabinets, there was even a wine cooler, wine glasses, and mugs, giving it the feel of a small boutique apartment. Charging was also convenient, with both USB and Type-C outlets available, and the bidet toilet had a full range of functions. The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation design, and the water pressure was consistent, making for a very comfortable shower. However, there were a few things to note: The kitchenware provided was quite basic, with only two plates, which might be insufficient if you plan to do a lot of cooking. Also, laundry detergent wasn't provided in the room, but you could purchase it at the front desk if needed. There are several construction sites near the hotel, but surprisingly, the soundproofing was excellent during my stay, with no noticeable noise at night. My sleep quality was quite peaceful. Overall, this hotel is more of a ”high-functional type” accommodation. The facilities are new and highly practical, feeling more like staying in a well-designed apartment than a traditional hotel. It made for a very comfortable stay."

"An Extremely Pleasant Stay in Seoul This hotel surprised us a lot, and yes, in a good way! Check-in was seamless. Just hand in your passport for processing and you got the room key. Very fast and convenient. There was an area where we could place our baggage before checking in so that we could go and explore the city with ease. The room was spectacular. The bed was cloud-like, the linens were crisp and luxurious, and the bathroom featured a toilet with an automatic bidet which was great and exceeded our expectations. We asked for room cleaning only once during our 7-day stay. Breakfast was okay. A self-service counter in a separate compartment/room with tables. Just typical breakfast: bread, yam, cereal, milk, and orange juice. Free mini-ramyon was also available in limited quantities. Oh and the cereal and milk were available 24 hours until depleted. We came back one evening, exhausted and thank god there was food (even if it’s just cereal). The pantry was also equipped with a microwave and toaster. Free plastic cutlery was also provided. The hotel location couldn't have been better, just steps away from renowned shopping stores (Olive Young, Daiso), incredible restaurants, and public transportation to explore Seoul. In the elevator, we could even see the airport bus information (Bus No. 6013) with a ticket price indicated (cash or T-money card accepted), which was an absolute godsend. We no longer needed to take the metro or public bus to the airport because of this. Thank you, Bellus! What truly set this hotel apart, though, was the staff and strategic location where we could easily find a bus stop and a place to eat. This was hands down one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had in Seoul. The city has already stolen our hearts, and this affordable hotel was a huge part of the reason why. If we have a chance, we will absolutely be back. Traveled with a colleague/friend – April 2026"

"Stay at SL Myeongdong for 3 nights. Location is quite good, in between Myeongdong and ChungMuro station (~6 mins walk). Airport bus stops for 6001 and 6015 located near the two stations. Frontdesk is efficient and friendly. Room is bright, relatively small but equipped with washing machine, dryer and a full-size fridge. Bed was comfy, but pillows were too soft. Hotel is new but the cleaning/maintenance can be better, cos some marks can be seen on the tiles. On the first night, we noticed a bit of blood stain on the side of the bedsheet, which they promptly changed after feedback. Overall a good place to stay in Seoul near Myeongdong."

"Traveling with kids means location, transport, and dining options, catering to both crowds and quiet spots, are all key considerations. First off, the location was perfect – the airport shuttle drops you right at the hotel, just across the street. We noticed fewer Chinese guests and more European and American visitors. Right opposite the hotel, there's Olive Young, McDonald's, and a fried chicken joint. To the left and right of the hotel entrance, you'll find a 7-Eleven on each side. The streets behind the hotel are packed with restaurants. Just about 200 meters to the left of the hotel entrance is Mapo Subway Station, which is only one stop from Yeouido Department Store – super convenient. If you head right from the hotel, you'll reach Gongdeok Subway Station, where you can find the popular Egg Drop sandwiches, which are a great value for breakfast. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste, so it's a good idea to bring your own set. If you forget, there's a machine on the first floor where you can buy them. For your return journey, you can catch the airport shuttle to the airport right in front of the McDonald's opposite the hotel. You can buy tickets on-site by scanning a QR code or paying with cash. Highly recommend this hotel for families with children."

"Overall a good option for solo travelers. Located right near Dongdaemun subway station, very convenient to get to main touristy areas. There’s a 7/11 right outside the hotel and lots of restaurants in the area, some of them open 24/7. The room isn’t too small, enough to unpack your suitcase. There was a huge TV in the room with various streaming services available, nice to unwind watching a show at the end of the day. All necessary amenities were provided like towels, bathrobes, even hygienic product samples like lotion, cotton swabs, washing cloth etc. The lock is automatic, and I felt pretty safe in the hotel. Personally not a fan of Korean style bathrooms (no separation between showering area and the toilet), but you can get used to it. Please note that cleaning is upon request only."

"Overall, I'm satisfied. The service attitude was pretty good, and they have a business center for printing documents, which wasn't cheap but acceptable. The room itself was genuinely small; my large suitcase barely fit in the hallway and under the desk. The bed size was decent. Slippers and a hairdryer were provided, but no dental kit. My laundry dried overnight. The window offered a city view. The location is excellent, right in the CBD. It's an 8-10 minute walk straight ahead or left from the hotel entrance to Myeongdong's streets and alleys or Lotte Department Store, just two blocks down. There's a nice cafe downstairs open until 10:30 PM, and a Starbucks in the adjacent commercial building, though it closes earlier. If you turn right from the hotel entrance and walk straight for a hundred or two meters, you'll cross a small overpass connected to the street. Below the overpass is a small stream and greenery, a bit like Guangzhou's Liwan Stream. Turn left, cross the road, and walk straight, and you'll find many restaurants and cafes. There's a classic chicken sausage cheese spicy turkey noodle dish; the first few bites are really delicious, but it gets rich quickly. However, it's great value for money, with a large pot costing only about 160 RMB. The subway station is also nearby, with lines 3 and 4 not far away. All in all, the hotel offers decent value for money."

"Good location. Just a five minute walk from Itaewon station. Lots of eateries around. The hotel is situated on a hill so pushing your luggage up can be tiring. Room is small and there is not much space for a large luggage. Bathroom does not have separate wet and dry areas so after a shower the room will be wet. Fortunately it dries up very quickly and so was not an issue for us. We were disappointed with housekeeping as our room was not cleaned daily even though we requested for it. We even had to request for an additional towel daily as only one was given for a 2 person room. Breakfast is good with varieties."
