About
Seoul City Hotel
Seoul City Hotel is a 2-star property set on a quiet street in Jung-Gu, Seoul. Its position is the main draw: you can walk to Namdaemun Market in about five minutes, and Hoehyeon subway station is right nearby, linking you to the rest of the city. The hotel keeps things straightforward, with a 24-hour reception, a garden, and a restaurant on site.
Rooms are simple but practical, featuring air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and electric kettles. A standout perk for colder months is the ondol (heated floors) mentioned by guests. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the staff are frequently praised for being friendly and fluent in English.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited breakfast selection — Self-service breakfast is basic – instant ramen, bread, and coffee – more reminiscent of a hostel than a hotel spread.
- No pets allowed — Despite being listed in the amenities, the policy states pets are not permitted, so if you're traveling with an animal this isn't the place.
- No parking mentioned — There's no on-site parking information, so you may need to rely on public transport or find a nearby garage.
- Modest room size — Guest rooms are compact, typical for a 2-star hotel in central Seoul – fine for sleeping but not for spreading out.
