ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent
"This property pleasantly surprised us with its great value, convenient location, cleanliness, and friendly staff. We especially loved the indoor swimming pool and it was the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day of shopping and sightseeing in busy Korea! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Korea!"

8/10 Good
"The property itself was fine but compared with the other places we stayed, it felt overpriced and quite small for what we paid. For my next trip to Korea, I would likely choose one of the other properties we stayed at instead."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

Hotel Gracery Seoul

8/10 Good
"The room was compact but if you’ve stayed at one of their hotels before, you’ll know the rooms are well layed out to maximise the space. I had a north facing room with a nice view of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The hotel had a convenience store next door and a stone throw away from Namdaemun market. Very handy that the viral Hotteok shop (outside the IBK bank) is only 3min away and 10min walk to the main Myeongdong shopping area. It was really convenient taking the bus from the airport to the hotel, stops at the Main Street and a short walk to the hotel. Overall the location was super convenient, close to City Hall station and walking distance to a lot of places of interest."

"This is a budget hotel, but it provided everything we needed. Great location and the staff were super helpful. Breakfast was okay, but then again this is a budget hotel. Only problem is that the bed was hard for us. Staff are more than eager to help and spoke English very well."
