The rooms here were spotless, the hotel was beautiful, and the location perfect. We loved being so close to the Myeongdong district and the night food market. We would stay here again next time we are in Seoul.
We had a fantastic 3 night stay. The hotel is only a 5 minute walk from Myeongdong metro station, in a bustling area full of shops, bars, restaurants and street vendors. It's busy and a there's a lot going on, but we felt safe and enjoyed walking around in the evenings. You can walk to Gyeonbokgung, and even the cable car is only 10-15 minutes walk.
The hotel was great. The staff were fantastic, friendly, helpful and considerate. The room was well-appointed, clean, bright and comfortable. Breakfast is served on the 21st floor, great views and a good selection of food.
We paid a little extra to have access to the guest lounge. What a way to end the day, enjoying a drink and watching the sun going down.
We had a very pleasant stay during our entire visit. All staff in the reception and as well in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. I only wish they had more pillow options.
Great spacious, quiet room with lounge access which includes tea, coffee, snacks. The Grand restaurant was also excellent where I had 2 lunches & 1 breakfast. It is a convenient location to shopping & street food, which looked good but I did nit try since I don't like eating standing up. Will stay again for conenience.

Liked: Cleanliness
Hotel was very clean and close to myong dong, jongro and all the nice palaces in the city of Seoul.
Room was great. King size bed was comfy but not too much room to move around the actual room. Daily replenishing of water was a nice touch. Breakfast was ample and served on the 21st floor with a beautiful view of the city.
Located in the center of Myeongdong, it's perfect for dining and shopping! It's also convenient to get to other areas with excellent bus and subway access!
Location was excellent right in myeongdong shopping street. Made it really convenient to go out in the evening to go out and get the street food if you’re Hungry. The cathedral is also a walk away with nice cafes
I definitely recommend this place
We had a great stay at the Royal hotel - the location was amazing fo first timers in Seoul - the airport taxi found it easily and it was steps away from the main hub of myendong - and there is a Starbucks and convenience store across the road. Check in was simple but the long lines for the lifts were a bit much.
Our room was more spacious than it looked with a small seating area and the beds were extremely comfortable. The bathroom amenities were excellent- the toilet was fabulous and the water pressure was perfect. There is a fridge in the room that we appreciated and used daily. We only had breakfast once and it was average at best for the price but the view while it was snowing was worth every penny ! (About £17 for a small buffet) The cleaning staff are wonderful and it was lovely to return back and have it so clean and tidy it was a highlight for us. I would definitely stay here again and absolutely recommend to first time visitors to the area as it’s so accessible
