LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Very central location and close airport limousine bus stop. Caffe Angelinus is a very good for snacks and cofee. Very helpful staff. Only one day when we came back from morning site seeing for afternoon rest by 3 pm, the room was not made, so one star less. Key is location."

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!!"
