"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

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Myeongdong and beyond (short walk to metro). We found the room very comfortable with good amenities. Very good breakfast and friendly, professional staff. Being in the centre of Myeongdong it's in an area that's pedestrianised in the evenings, so you may have to walk a short way with luggage. We hadn't realised that there is no restaurant or bar, but there plenty of eateries in the area."
