"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very good locati"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Very central location and close airport limousine bus stop. Caffe Angelinus is a very good for snacks and cofee. Very helpful staff. Only one day when we came back from morning site seeing for afternoon rest by 3 pm, the room was not made, so one star less. Key is location."

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great, close to Lotte Department Mall and Myeongdong shopping street and night market. The breakfast was okay, not a lot of variety but menu changes daily and have a mix of western and asian dishes. The staff at front desk were very helpful and friendly, they helped with directions and reserving our taxi to Incheon from the hotel."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel. Maybe you could say that the room was on the small side but other than that, everything was wonderful for our stay; the breakfast buffet was splendid, all the staff were helpful and charming, room spotless. We will definitely be looking out for other hotels from this group in the future. The location in the heart of bustling Myeongdong was perfect for our first visit to the fantastic city of Seoul. One problem was lack of space in our suitcases following our numerous shopping sprees."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

8/10 Good

"Outstanding! Staff are very courteous. Room/linen- sheets -towels/ smell of the room/amenities/are all excellent. Only one suggestion: There’s two bathrobe - good quality, however, I recommend to make the other bathrobe bigger than the other one- for man size. My husband was not able to use it as it was small for him. Overall - excellent!!"

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very clean and modern. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is EXCELLENT especially for shopping areas in Seoul. Rooms are quite comfortable but there isn’t any room for unpacking and storing clothes except on a bench in our room. Overall though, I highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again."
