- Excellent location, just a few mins walk to City Hall Station. If you don’t want to take public transportation, it’s only round 20 mins walk to Myeong-dong (through underground subway in the station) and to Gyeobgbokgung Palace (it’s just located at the end of the road where the hotel is). - Koreans hotel is one of the drop-off and pick-up stops of the K-limousine, we get to the hotel easily with 2 kids (14 & 11) and 8 suitcases. - We stay in the deluxe family room, 2 double beds, comfortable enough. - There is self laundry service at the 22/F, very convenient. - Plenty of restaurants around. There is also a convenient store just down stairs. - Friendly staff. Gave us good recommendations of where to eat nearby according to our preferences.

Very convenient location in the heart of the city with multiple sites and restaurants within easy walking distance. Staff is very friendly. Room was large and bed was comfortable.

Although there have obviously been some upgrades, the facilities are still a bit dated. Very poor lighting in the room (no way to read in bed despite the pictures) and there are not easily accessible plugs to charge electronics by each side of the bed. Only way to turn lights on/off is by a console on one side of the bed. Only option for breakfast is the buffet which is a bit pricey. Unless you’re really hungry better option is Starbucks just around the corner.

Room was very spacious and clean (toilet comes with a bidet!). Although it looked a bit old, but it gives the antique feel and the facilities in the room are very updated. The airport bus 6701 drop-off and pick-up point is conveniently located right in front of the hotel. The hotel is in between City Hall Stn and Gwanghwamun Stn hence very convenient to get to other places. A lot of sightseeing places within walking distance (i.e Cheonggyecheon, Gwanghwamun Palace, Deoksugung Stone Walls). Hotel staff were also fluent in English and were very helpful in answering our queries.

The check-in counter is quite squeezy, can only serve about 2 - 3 guests at a time. May be crowded during holiday seasons, but we came during non-peak season, not many guests were checking in at the same time. The hotel lobby is also lacking of sofa seats. Didn't see any hotel attendant who could help to bring up our luggage. We had to bring up and down our luggage ourselves.

Hotel Koreana is a long standing hotel located in central Seoul. Even though its interiors are aged here and there the rooms are quite well maintained and spacious enough. We could fit three big luggages without any problem and still have enough space to maneuver the room. The AC is working well and adjustable after one’s wish. The view from the rooms is also spectacular - you either look towards city hall or the Deoksogung Palace. Its main advantage is the prime location close to three subway lines (City Hall line 1, 2 and Gwanghwamun line 5) making it extremely easy to get almost anywhere in Seoul < 40 minutes. Additionally, you can easily walk to the central palaces, nearby areas such as Jongak / Jongno / Insa-Dong or take a stroll at Cheonggyecheon. We stayed here the second time and I would always recommend Hotel Koreana for a stay in Seoul.

All bathroom amenities within the older rooms are very low - especially the sink. Even for the average Korean this seems to be outdated. The safe could be a little bigger to fit larger items, e.g. a laptop. There is only one bedside table

Very close to Gyeongbokgung Palace , Gwanghwamun Plaza and Deoksugung Palace. Metro stop is just 400m away and connects you to any other places in Seoul. Direct bus to international airport is just in front of the door.

Nothing. Everything was ok.

The location was very good. Easy walking distance to Myeongdong, the Cheonggyecheon stream with live entertainment at night, and the City Hall metro station (useful in getting around but also the meeting spot for our DMZ tour). The Seoul City bus tour (hop on hop off) and the airport limousine bus both depart from right outside the hotel. The area is especially interesting on Saturdays when the street welcomes more protesters. Many varied causes, passionate individuals and groups, but very orderly. The police are present and watchful. A fascinating side of the culture not evident during the work week. We also made use of the helpful concierge and a wine store in the lobby. The hotel offers access to a good fitness facility on site and a convenience store is right next door.

All was good.

The room is nice and spacious. The location is superb, conveniently located near Gwanghwamun and City Hall stations. You can use bus no 6701 to go from/to Incheon airport. Overall I had a pleasant stay there.

Roam was thoroughly cleaned daily.Overall a comfortable stay. Some issue with plumbing in the bathroom was taken care of promptly by the hotel.

It's very conveniently located next to train stations. However there are rallies on the road across the hotel , specially on the weekends and public holidays that ended up blocking the road. Couldn't access the airport bus at time of departure due to same issue. Staff was helpful overall. But small amenities in the roam(sugar, coffee, shower cap weren't provided daily) . And it was a hassle to get them from the front desk.

I had the pleasure of staying at Koreana Hotel with my family on two occasions during July 2024. Both times, our stay was exceptional. The hotel is perfectly located to explore the city and the facilities are excellent. The service received by the Front Desk Director, Mr Kim Ki Dong, and his staff was outstanding - they went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and needs. We look forward to our next stay at Koreana Hotel and would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for making our visit so comfortable and enjoyable.

There were no negative aspects to our stay.

Perfect location, in walking distance to many highlights of Seul. The airport bus stops right in front of the hotel, which is a big convenience. The hotel offers luggage storage before check-in and provides many useful services and information to tourists.

There is a glass panel between the bedroom and the bathroom (at least in the type of room that we rented). Although there is a roller-blind which you can keep closed, it does not block the light from the bathroom, so if someone turns the light on in the bathroom in the middle of the night, it is just bright as if they turned on the light in the room. It is not a big problem, though, as the room is very nice overall
