"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.

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!"

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!!"

N285 Hotel Insadong

8/10 Good

"Most comfortable bed during my stay in South Korea. Bathroom has everything you need, but in a space that was ridiculously tight. in general, there was simply no place to lay out my roller suitcase. I had to open it on the floor, which limited access to the bed because the space around the bed was so narrow. The staff was friendly and helpful in general. The room was just fine, but it would be great if there could be a space for my roller suitcase to open up."
