Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent
"This place is so convenient- close by Emart 24 hrs open - and ediya coffee just a few steps. Close by bank of Korea. Walking a few mins to go to the Namdeung Market and Myeongdong Night Market. So many snack stores around. Lockers to keep your stuffs when you’re checking in- out. If you go to Busan or somewhere else and have the second stay reservation.- and they will keep the baggage’s for you when you are back- just need to pack enough for the short trip outside Seoul. Uber and taxi everywhere. The traffic is abit busy but drivers will wait for you. - Staffs are friendly. :) check in and out so easy. Theme of the hotel is so cute and nice, price is affordable."
