Bongwonsa Temple

Well located, close to subway and bus and busy area, friendly staff, we had heated floors in the room which was very nice!

The room is spacious and clean. The only problem is the bathroom. Its old and needs a TLC. The shower makes the floor flooded and the granite needs repair or replaced entirely.

Perfect place to stay! Convenient, right smack dab in the Myeongdong Street Market and nearby Myeongdong Station exits 5,6&7. There’s an elevator and each guest floor has a microwave, sink, tea, coffee, dinnerware, iron/board, trash bins and all the fresh towels to refill your own room. In the room there’s a hairdryer, tv, phone, air conditioner, beverage cooler, bidet, hangers & hooks. 3rd floor Landry room- the detergent is added with your credit card payment. There’s a 6th floor rooftop which was inaccessible during our stay(November 22-30). You must clarify if you want your sheets changed & room cleaned on the 3rd day of your stay. It’s only free if you stay more than 5 days. The staff does empty your trash & take out your old towels daily. The Korean staff at the entrance kiosk check in & checkout and on the hotel phone were all very pleasant, helpful and welcoming. The Japanese cleaning staff were indifferent & useless if you need help. They literally just stare at you, annoyed that you tried to speak to them. In the end, no frills hotel but it covers all the basics a traveler from abroad needs during their visit. The price was very competitive. I got lucky I chose this place. I would recommend Hotel Myeongdongjang to everyone who wants to stay in Seoul.
