LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, staff"

Lotte Hotel World

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel located along the Han River. We loved the facilities, the comfortable room, and the convenient location. It’s directly connected to a shopping mall, a department store, and an amusement park, and it’s across from Seoul Tower. The room was well equipped with a bidet, mini fridge, and high-quality toiletries. The staff was exceptionally kind—they let us borrow a plug adapter, as well as an iron and ironing board. Whenever we needed anything, room service was incredibly fast. The staff was consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy to assist, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The family room was fantastic. It was the perfect size for a family of four, with plenty of space to relax. The bathroom was equally impressive, and the bath was absolutely huge. Honestly, I couldn't fault either the room or the hotel. The only slight and I mean slight downside was the location. If it had been a little closer to Myeongdong, it would have been perfect. Travelling on the subway with four people and two large suitcases each isn't ideal for everyone, although, in fairness, I could have taken a taxi and you'll only do that twice."
