"By yourself check in/out so easy no waiting, Rooms are small for 4 suitcases but oké, a closet would be a major upgrade because you don’t have to live out your suitcase. Great location 5 min walk from metro and 10 min from citycenter ( foodstreet ) Price for the room is great so, it is no luxury hotel but for this price, clean quiet, bed are great what do you need more ??I would come here again next trip if it is availible !"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean…staff very nice"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

8/10 Good

"The staff were incredible! Very helpful and kind. The building looks a bit dated. The carpet in the hallways look old and can use a cleaning. Wasn’t a fan of the carpet in the room either but the washroom was clean and bed comfy although more than 1 pillow would be nice. Great location! Convenient and located in a wonderful area"

Fraser Place Central Seoul

8/10 Good

"The one bedroom family unit was perfect for our family of 4, with one queen bed and one king bed. The location is great, with walking distance to Namdaemun Market and other key central soul attractions. The property is very clean and well maintained, and it's great that they have a pool on site. One modest complaint is that we did not love breakfast. Some items didn't seem fresh (For example, the cereal is placed in open air bowls, so it gets stale quickly, and the bacon tasted old). Also, the dryer took forever and wasn't effective. The dry cycles were 4 hours, and we needed two to dry each load. The units also have a single unit for washing and drying, which also adds to laundry time. Overall, though, it's a great lodging option with excellent service."
