Saempyo Space

super nice staff, nice area and convenient

Centrally located within Seoul in Myeongdong, but just outside (essentially one block removed) of all the action so it is much more quieter and a significant positive for me. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. Highly recommend having the buffet at least once on your visit. Hotel is conveniently located next to the subway so it is extremely easy and accessible to get around every major neighborhood. It is also walking distance to Seoul Station, but I would recommend taking a cab/taxi/Uber for convenience as the area is generally within a major node for traffic.

⭐⭐ Disappointing Stay – Hotel Needs Major Updates Unfortunately, our stay was well below average. The rooms were outdated, with terrible, worn-out furniture that made it feel more like a one-star hotel. The entire hotel is in desperate need of renovation and modernization. The location was okay, but the service was very disappointing. We had a lot of luggage and asked the reception staff for assistance. Instead of helping, they laughed and spoke among themselves in Korean, which felt extremely rude and unprofessional. Overall, a disappointing experience. The hotel definitely needs improvements in both its facilities and customer service.
