Hotel Nafore

This hotel is not cheap but given Seoul seems expensive (also judging by scanning other hotel options) we were pleasantly surprised by the good quality and thus value for money we received. This includes very spacious rooms, a good inclusive breakfast and cute little roof terrace with some tables, chairs and a nice view (especially at night). Two times went up there it was just us with our drinks and snacks, playing cards and enjoying the view - fab! The location is convenient with 2 metro/subway station very close (5 minutes walk) as well as a local high street with all kind of shops and restaurants. It is also in walking distance of Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, a popular attraction for visitors and locals on evenings and weekends for food, drink and strolling around.

The hotel is modern and perfectly located. You can walk to the two main northern palaces and to DDP (approximately 30'). Close to two metro stops with lot of lines. The room was big, clean anc comfortable. The staff was super friendly and willing to help. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Seoul!

Underfloor heating meant the room was always warm, good location - walkable distance to Myeongdong, the palace and lots of coffee shops around. Also walking distance to the metro stations. 2 free water bottles provided every day of our stay. Breakfast was basic but they offered English and Korean foods along with coffee and juice so was pretty good.

Cannot praise the location enough it was excellent! We were able to easily walk to Myeong-dong, Ikseon-dong, Changdeokgung Palace and more. Everything else we needed we reached via one of two subway stations located less than 5 minute walk in either direction. It is down some side streets but wasn’t difficult to find at all thanks to their signs and using Naver Maps. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the roof garden an added bonus. We would absolutely stay here again next time we visit Seoul as it was such good value for money too.

This was our second stay in Hotel Nafore, but this time with a bigger bedroom. This is of course more convenient, plenty of space for you to move around and feel comfortable. I copy my old review here for the rest: Good hotel option near Jongno 3-ga and Euljiro 4(sa)ga. There are also plenty of bus options nearby. Staff was nice and the room had a good size. You can also find quite a few restaurant options nearby and Insa-Dong is within walking distance.
