"Great hotel"

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, right in Myeongdong. Next to Lotte duty free mall. Friendly staffs, even though hotel room is small but well-kept. Their breakfast is also a must to do, since most places in South Korean won’t open until 10am or later."

Hotel Manu Seoul Station

8/10 Good

"Great little hotel very close to the station. I’ve stayed here a couple of times because of the location. Only gripe is that each time I’ve stayed there’s been some mark on my blanket. Don’t know if the cleaners just don’t care that much. Bed is very comfy, all amenities provided, fast wifi. I just wish the housekeeping cleaned the sheets better"

"It was good hotel, we really enjoyed restaurant"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"I like the location, step out of the building and you are already surrounded by the many food stalls.and shops. Olive young is just beside the building. Massage facial, and hair care inside the building. Bus is 5 -7mins walk but UBER cost only 9$ for a 20- 30 mins ride, staff are very helpful. The bathroom is together with the toilet but its still bidet. Bed is hard but acceptable. Over all very good"
