Prince Hotel Seoul is a 100-room, three-pearl property with a central location that's ideal for tourists wishing to explore Seoul’s Myeongdong shopping district. Rooms are simple and somewhat spartan, but are clean, contemporary, and equipped with safes and electric kettles. There are even traditional ondol rooms, with floor seating and sleeping mats on the floors. The restaurant offers tasty food, including a solid breakfast buffet. However, the hotel doesn't have much for families and is a bit bland overall. For something with more pizazz, check out the Metro.

This 269-room Sheraton is an upscale hotel in South Seoul -- it's a solid pick for business guests, though tourists will need to use the attached metro station to get anywhere of interest. Rooms are modern and include large TVs and high-end espresso machines. They also have amazing city views, especially on upper floors. While the hotel has a gorgeous lap pool, spa and a virtual indoor golf center, the restaurants and amenities don’t compare to luxury hotels such as the Park Hyatt in Gangnam. Still, the Sheraton is considerably more affordable for families and business travelers who don’t mind being further from the action.

The three-pearl Grand Hotel Myeongdong is well-located in a popular shopping and business district, just a three-minute walk from a metro stop. The 50 rooms are modern with neutral tones, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. The hotel doesn’t have too many features beyond a western breakfast (for a fee), a rooftop garden, free wine hours on Fridays, and a free laundry room. A good alternative is Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul which has a gym and lovely spa area with hot tubs, a sauna, and showers.

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeong-dong is a large upper-middle-range property in the Myeong-dong shopping district, three blocks from the subway. The location is pedestrian-only during hotel business hours, so guests must get dropped off nearby. Part of a Japanese chain, the property is modern, elegant, and caters mainly to tourists. The 312 rooms are warmly decorated and feature flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, and many have excellent views of the city, but some don't have windows. On-site features include a spacious 21st-floor lounge with incredible city views, a buffet restaurant and bar, and a 24-hour business center. A women's floor and a smoking room are available, but there is no gym. As an alternative, Lotte City Hotel Mapo, while not as well located for tourists, offers an indoor pool, a fitness center, and meeting rooms.
