ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun Subway: Seoul Station & City Hall

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun connects to Seoul Station and City Hall through City Hall Station on Seoul Metro Line 1 and Line 2: the property's official listing puts the walk to Exit 9 at about 8 minutes, and Seoul Station is one stop further on Line 1, checked 2026-09-14. Long Weekend Haus DDP, a 12-room stay in Seoul's Dongdaemun district, lists rooms from \u20a9306,000 a night on its free-cancellation plan, checked 2026-09-14, for travelers who want a kitchen-equipped base instead of the City Hall corridor.

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun sits an eight-minute walk from Exit 9 of City Hall Station, where Seoul Metro Line 1 and Line 2 both stop, and the property's official listing puts Seoul Station one further stop away on Line 1, checked 2026-09-14. A guest account posted alongside the listing describes riding the subway from Seoul Station to City Hall, choosing an exit, then walking to the hotel with luggage - the same route the official page states. Line 2 continues past City Hall as Seoul's loop line, so you reach Euljiro 1(il)-ga, Euljiro 3(sam)-ga and Myeongdong without changing trains. If you are flying into Incheon on the AREX express to Seoul Station, you are one stop from the hotel's own station rather than needing a taxi. Two subway lines meeting at one station and a one-stop ride to Seoul Station are the property's clearest advantages; the eight-minute walk from Exit 9 covers real distance with luggage, as the guest account notes.

L7 Myeongdong

Inside the Myeongdong shopping district, L7 Myeongdong is a short walk from Myeongdong Station on Line 4, putting City Hall and Euljiro within one transfer rather than a direct ride, per the hotel's own access notes checked 2026-09-14. Travelers headed to Seoul Station from here change trains at Hoehyeon or Euljiro 1(il)-ga rather than riding straight through as ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun's City Hall route does. Myeongdong's retail streets sit between the hotel entrance and the station gates, which adds a few minutes of foot traffic during shopping hours. The trade-off here is a Myeongdong address against a one-transfer route to Seoul Station or City Hall.

Nine Tree Premier Hotel Myeongdong 2

Nine Tree Premier Hotel Myeongdong 2 sits nearer Euljiro than central Myeongdong, within walking distance of Euljiro 3(sam)-ga Station, where Line 2 and Line 3 cross, according to the property's own access notes checked 2026-09-14. Line 2 carries you directly to City Hall Station without a transfer, and from there the same Line 1 platform ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun uses continues one stop to Seoul Station. Guests headed to Myeongdong's main shopping strip walk a few minutes further than from a Myeongdong-Station-adjacent property, since Euljiro 3(sam)-ga sits one stop east. The direct Line 2 run to City Hall is the property's strongest transit point in this comparison; reaching Seoul Station itself still takes a second train.

Lotte Hotel Seoul

Lotte Hotel Seoul faces City Hall directly, with City Hall Station's Line 1 and Line 2 platforms and Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station's Line 2 platform both inside its downtown block, per the hotel's own access notes checked 2026-09-14. Seoul Station is one stop from City Hall on Line 1, the same transfer pattern ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun's listing describes, so the two properties sit at comparable subway distance from Seoul Station despite being on opposite sides of City Hall. Myeongdong's main strip is a further stop or two beyond Euljiro 1(il)-ga on Line 2. Sitting on top of two stations rather than an eight-minute walk from one is the trade a higher downtown rate buys here.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP is a 12-room stay at 15-3 Ssangnim-dong, Jung-gu, in Seoul's Dongdaemun district, and its Maru Suite sleeps up to 6 across two bedrooms while the 702 Penthouse sleeps up to 8 across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, from \u20a9306,000 a night on the free-cancellation plan and up to \u20a9654,000 a night for the Penthouse on the same plan, checked 2026-09-14. Long Weekend Haus DDP sits outside the City Hall-Seoul Station corridor covered above, closer instead to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, which fits a different trip shape: a longer, self-catered stay rather than a short subway hop downtown. Every unit carries its own kitchen area per the official floor plan, so two couples sharing the Dining Suite's two bedrooms can cook rather than eat out every meal, and self-check-in by kiosk means a late flight into Seoul costs you no lobby wait. Stays of three nights or more get a 10% discount on the published rate, and the flexible plan cancels free up to 14 days before check-in. If your group is six or eight people wanting separate bedrooms and a bathroom each, the Maru Suite and the 702 Penthouse are sized for that. Booking channels include Stayfolio and Trip.com, both checked 2026-09-14.
