"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

Top Arko Art Center Hotel Reviews

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"The room is modern and I like the bathroom (although could do with some washcloths and more towels) but my only complaint was that this was NOT Central Myeongdong as the hotel name implies--it's a very quiet residential area that almost looks a bit seedy, with not much going on as it is mostly printing and furniture shops. Very local, which is cool but not useful for tourists. Good thing is the subway is a 3min walk away but I'd prefer to have more coffee places, shops, restaurants etc around a hotel I stay at."

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Hotel itself ideally located for most things, but even in deluxe room furniture pretty basic, but beds comfy. Breakfast was OK but no Black/Breakfast tea, only Earl Grey or fruit teas, Coffee from machine was lukewarm but if you ask for hot milk they will bring it. After a long day site-seeing was disappointed to find that there nowhere to get a drink in evening, small lounge on 17th floor but only sold spirits. oh for a glass of wine. Most of the staff had reasonable English, whereas I had no Korean, and were very helpful."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"close by the subway stations, has restaurants downstairs, clean rooms, easy access for rideshare drop off. great experience overall. only con would be the run down buildings that surround the property."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and nice facility close to all shops ,foods"

Orakai Daehakro Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff were very friendly and delivered a high level of customer service. The location was excellent for walking, access to bus and subway stations. I would definitely recommend this hotel. If you haven’t been to Seoul or the east be prepared for a different type of breakfast at the hotel. They do have bacon, sausage and eggs but also cater to the Asian clientele. There are also so many great bakery and coffee shops within walking distance."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice accommodations. Made the travel easy!"

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Will 100% stay here again if I ever visit. Very clean, spacious, laundry in room, very accommodating, friendly staff."

Snowflower Guesthouse
