Top Hotels Near Chilgung in Seoul from AU$58

"My 4th stay at this hotel. Ideally located to walk to many sites but also 2 main subway lines are within a few minutes walk. Rooms are very well equipped including washing machine, LG steam cupboard and microwave. It’s my go to hotel when staying in Seoul"

"Super spacious apartment hotel in a great area."

"The room was really clean staff very pleasant!!"

"The room was very dated and felt run down. The lighting was very dark. Was not worth the price and was overpriced for the state of the hotel"

"Nice property and staff, but why overcharge for food! 19000 for a coffee!"

"Location is the best part of this hotel easy access to line 1,2 and 8. Building is very outdated, carpets have many stains. Walls cleaness is questionable. Staff are very accommodating and professional. Wish the hotel would go through a major renovation soon especially leaky showers and stained carpets"

"I stayed at Somerset Palace Seoul expecting a 4-star experience, but it felt closer to a poorly maintained 2-star property. Arrival was inconvenient—there are three heavy manual doors to get through with luggage and no automatic access. Check-in was smooth and staff were polite, which was the only positive. Hallway carpets were torn and lifting, and the walls were covered in visible stains. It immediately felt neglected. It had a strong musty smell, like old carpet and stale air that hadn’t circulated properly. It felt stuffy and uncomfortable to breathe in. When we tried to use the A/C, we were told it was unavailable due to maintenance (not disclosed beforehand). No fan was offered—we were told to open the window instead. This was not a solution. The room faced a noisy street, and the outdoor air quality was poor. Between the heat, noise, and pollution, it was very difficult to sleep. The bathroom looked unclean despite being “cleaned”—the bathtub had visible stains and fixtures were worn. Furniture was chipped, walls near the bed were stained, and there were no outlets by the bedside. Overall, the room felt unhygienic and poorly maintained. We didn’t feel comfortable staying and left the next day after developing coughing."

"Clean room, friendly staff, close to restaurants and can get uber easily but the bus and subway stations are closeby. The free breakfast was amazing and the views were great. Just hoping the room would have been bigger but we did have 3 large luggages with us"

"A chic posh hotel, next door to the City Hall! Nice and professional staff everywhere! A very good choice!"
