- Stayed 2 nigths as part of a tour. Old hotel but with a good central location within walking distance of Gyeongbokgung palace. Rooms are in need of some refurbishing but still ok if you don’t mind the stains on the fixed carpet. Staff is friendly, service is good and with a smile and the breakfast buffet was fine.

My husband and I just went to Seoul for a short getaway in April 6-9. We chose Koreana for its location close to Myeong Dong. It turned out we walked for 10 minutes to the nearest shopping area. The hotel itself was dated. The room and service were standard, no surprise. Probably we will stay another hotel for better service... More

just stayed at The Koreana which, I am told, is a stalwart of Seoul's hotel scene. the location is perfect for access to/from the airport (incheon airport bus stops on the doorstep at very regular intervals), the City Hall subway station which is 5mins walk away and the Myeongdong shopping district is around 10mins walk. service is very friendly and...

Very convenient hotel due to its location, exactly in Seoul centre with walking distance to several must-see places. Rooms are spacious with all necessary amenities. Internet available (at least in my room) only via cable. Well equipped minibar. I appreciate especially ironing equipment. Breakfast are very good with reasonable choice of local and international food. Direct low cost bus connection... More

As I had only one day in Seoul, I chose to stay at Koreana Hotel because of its location. After checking in at 3pm, I was glad that I was able to walk to Namdaemun market and Myeongdong area, shopping till late night. I was lucky that they were having the annual lantern festival at the Cheonggeycheon river (4th -... More

Big hotel in good location. I had a large room on 23rd floor with one double and one single. Lots of space, armchairs and very comfortable beds. This place was well fitted out in the 1980s and has worn well. Within walking distance of most of what you want to see in North Seoul. Palaces and Cheonggyecheon walkway nearby. All... More

If you are a walker and like to explore a city like a native, the Koreana Hotel (61, 1-Ga, Taepyong-Ro, Jung-Gu) is well situated in the center of the city. Easy access to Line 1 (City Hall stop) and Line 2 (City Hall interchange), and Line 5 (Gwanghwamun stop). It is practically right around the corner of Deoksugung Palace, King... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for five nights as part of a longer trip to the Far East. It is a nice hotel, if not a particularly luxurious one. We stayed in an Executive level room and were satisfied with the size and location of the room on the 12th floor where the Executive lounge was located.... More
