LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Very good hotel, excellent staff, comfortable clean room. I would have given it 5 star had if they had flagged the construction site noise next door on booking site or in advance of check in. A note in room with earplugs was a bit late. Otherwise a great hotel."

"One of the best hotels in Seoul. Great location, food, rooms, service and the best service team. It is a great choice to reserve with the option of La Maison Boutique, which includes a daily breakfast buffet and a great happy hour with hors d'oeuvres in the evening. It will chage your Seoul experience. Next to one of the best department stores in Corea and a subway station right outside the hotel. The Seoul Train Station is only one stop away by bus or subway. A 15 minute walking distance."

HOTEL MYEONGDONGJANG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful and speaks English"

Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is their greatest strength. Thank you for the flexibility of adjusting our breakfast despite coming in really early before check in. There was a discrepancy in the Expedia detail - breakfast is only for 2 people even if 3 are allowed in a room but Aiden Kim was kind enough to listen and gave us free breakfast. Availability of airport shuttle was really helpful especially when our flight came in at 3 AM and all the trains and buses are still closed. Tours suggested by the hotel were excellent esp with direct hotel pick up and drop off. Well maintained hotel: housekeeping keeping our room clean and tidy with fresh towels everyday. Love the laundry. It has detergent already and easy to pay with Apple Pay. Has 2 massage chairs available while doing laundry is awesome. Gym well equipped compared to other hotels we have stayed. Needless to say location is best. My to go to in Seoul. Thank you for a great stay!"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staffs provided superb assistance. Hotel location is nearby most places I want to see as first timer in Seoul"
