"Overall it was great! I was a bit disappointed when we first arrived because the place was small and little walking space and the carpet inside the room is old. But the staff were just amazing and gave us great service. The sheets and bedding were so luxurious feeling which made up for some of the disappointment but overall the responsive as of housekeeping, the front staff, and security downstairs made up for it. It was also so nice to have a laundry machine there. It is a little bit of a walk to the main Myeongdong shopping but very doable. It’s also conveniently located by angelinus which has good cafe drinks and breads and also a 7 eleven. Overall we were happy. They accommodated us late check out also. "

"The location is great, easy to get to many places by walking or take public transportation. The staff here are helpful and friendly. Overall I enjoyed my stay here. "
"The Splaisir Sotetsu Myeongdong is simply unbeatable when it comes to location. Nestled right in the heart of Myeongdong, it offers immediate access to the vibrant shopping streets, countless dining options, and excellent transportation links — everything is just a few steps away. Limousine bus stop to and from Incheon airport just half a block from the hotel.
The service here is equally impressive. The staff are consistently friendly, professional, and always eager to help, making you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you arrive.
The breakfast buffet is another highlight. It offers a wide selection of fresh and delicious options, perfectly blending Korean and international dishes — a great way to start the day before heading out to explore the city.
In short, this hotel delivers exceptional value with its prime location, attentive service, and outstanding breakfast. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul."
"Great place! The hotel is walking distance from the main attractions in Seoul and 15-20mins from Myengdong which has great dining options. The rooms are very spacious and the breakfast was very good."
