LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good
"The property itself was fine but compared with the other places we stayed, it felt overpriced and quite small for what we paid. For my next trip to Korea, I would likely choose one of the other properties we stayed at instead."

Hotel Gracery Seoul

Hotel Gracery Seoul

8/10 Good
"The room was compact but if you’ve stayed at one of their hotels before, you’ll know the rooms are well layed out to maximise the space. I had a north facing room with a nice view of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The hotel had a convenience store next door and a stone throw away from Namdaemun market. Very handy that the viral Hotteok shop (outside the IBK bank) is only 3min away and 10min walk to the main Myeongdong shopping area. It was really convenient taking the bus from the airport to the hotel, stops at the Main Street and a short walk to the hotel. Overall the location was super convenient, close to City Hall station and walking distance to a lot of places of interest."
