LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Decent property. Beds are very confortable. Air Con very quiet and perfect flow. Very good breakfast for a fair price. Friendly staff and service. Rooms are a bit dated mine had some dust on the desk. Quite expensive $$ for what it is."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for a short stay in Seoul this hotel is very close to a lot of local amenities, shopping and restaurants. We had an excellent stay and would return. The area is busy in the evenings so it was loud some nights but that wasn’t too much of a disturbance. The staff were incredibly helpful, there is coin-operated laundry which is very convenient. The breakfast offering is simple more continental style with espresso coffee, toast, cereal, enough to get you started for the day and with convenience stores and cafes close by if you prefer. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller with not very much korean. Thank you StepInn for a wonderful stay."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean but very small. Breakfast is a home run for sure. The property is right across the street from the Night Market which is super convenient."

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Generous sized rooms, excellent staff are very helpful, expansive breakfast buffet, great variety of restaurants. DMZ Storyteller tour provided by the hotel was excellent, private car with tour guide Sam who was wonderful, very knowledgeable, and passionately proud of the heritage of South Korea; I cannot recommend this enough. It was superb!"

UH Continental SeoulCenter

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was gorgeous - we loved all the details in the room to make it comfortable and peaceful. Every detail contributed to a luxurious and peaceful stay. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was ideal for exploring some of Seoul’s best sights. I’d give 6 stars if I could."

Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The hotel is conveniently located near most shopping areas, all within walking distance, and public transportation is easily accessible. The amenities were decent but nothing particularly special. Unfortunately, the staff were not attentive, and we encountered sanitary issues with the bed and room that negatively affected our stay. The hotel manager was not helpful in resolving these concerns, so we had to rely on Expedia to address the situation. While the location was convenient, the lack of proper attention to cleanliness and poor customer service made our experience disappointing."
