10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience from the front desk staff to the rooms to the location! Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Seoul!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff on the 1st floor were highly dedicated and incredibly helpful. The cleaning staff on the 24th floor were also very professional, and the location is absolutely perfect."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very helpful. The location is the best you can get if you want to be in the middle of Meyongdong. The rooms in Seoul are small, this one felt larger. AC wasn’t working but it wasn’t that hot in October. Building is in good shape. The shower doors need to be closed, in Seoul most hotel showers are half glass so water gets everywhere."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The rooms had everything you needed but decoration was sparse and clinical. Room lighting was disappointing. Bed was against a wall, so it was awkward to go for an overnight toilet break without disturbing partner on open side of bed. Air con was efficient and washing machine in room welcomed."

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good

"런드리룸에앉아서 기달릴수있는 의자가있었으면 좋겠읍니다"

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Westin Josun was brilliant - the staff impeccable - our room was a great size, comfortable bed and good bathroom. Located in such a an excellent area - shopping and night market street food located just behind the hotel. The bus from the airport stops at the hotel making it a great transport option - door to door."

New Seoul Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really like the hotel location, pretty convenient and close to many attractions."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

10/10 Excellent
