Hotel Onoma Daejeon, Autograph Collection
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a joint top-rated hotel from our Daejeon sample, a spotless 5-star base and short walks to the science museum and Expo Science Park. Skip it if you are watching costs, since it was about three times the price of our other two Daejeon picks.

Hotel Onoma Daejeon, Autograph Collection is our Luxury pick in Daejeon. It suits travellers who want a 5-star hotel within walking distance of the city's science and art museums, with a buffet breakfast and a gym on site. Guests single out how clean it is.
It is a poor match for anyone on a tight budget. Our Best Value and Budget picks cost a fraction of the price. Late risers should also note that guests say breakfast service ends quite early.
Location and getting around
The address is 1, Expo-ro, Yuseong-gu. Guests rate the location 8.9 out of 10 and mention that the hotel connects directly to the department store and sits near the science museum.
Expo Science Park is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. The National Science Museum is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. The Daejeon Museum of Art is about 0.9 km, around 11 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so allow a little extra.
Free parking is listed by the property. Confirm the details if you arrive by car.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 222 reviews. That placed it joint first of 4 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Cleanliness is the strongest theme, with guests calling the property spotless and well kept throughout. Location is the second, thanks to the direct link to the department store and the short walk to the science museum.
The breakfast draws mixed comments. The buffet is described as delicious, but serving times end early, which can be a nuisance if you like a slow morning.
