    “Great location right in middle of Myeongdong street market”

    Stayed in this hotel several times before. Room relatively large by Seoul city standard. Booked with club access and breakfast at Grand Kitchen (it's not that 'grand' but cozy with good spread). I would say overall service is only mediocre for a Michelin recommended hotel (your se it everywhere in the hotel). The afternoon tea at club lounge is simple, and since my son does not meet their 19 year old age requirement to enter after 5pm i did not try the evening cocktail or happy hour. Room is spacious for two but I booked a triple room with an extra bed so room appears to be a bit tight. Otherwise room is clean and basic, not grand nor luxurious. Location is the best selling point if your are a typical tourist visiting Myeongdong night market and Lotte duty free across the road. Close to subway station and Seoul Station and City Hall not far away. Walking distance to the major palaces, namdaemun and dongdaemun markets. If you're an outdoor person this is a great starting point for Namsan hike also.

    “Great Stay”

    Love the location, cleanliness and convenience to many eateries and shopping. This is located somewhat at the end of the Myeongdong shopping street, so you'll get the convenience but yet away from the crowd. 3 stars rated for the staff as they were not as friendly nor as helpful. To be fair, this may be due to cultural difference or language barrier. In this area, things could definitely be improved or have them trained better. It definitely, did not deter me from staying here every time I'm in Seoul though.

    “good location but more can be done”

    The hotel is in Myeong-dong itself. So just walking down to the shopping street is a breeze. Breakfast: they rotate the food every 2 days. So every 2 days, you will get the same breakfast. The room is generally clean but they do not have shaver. You can buy from them but it is cheaper to buy at the convenient shop opposite the hotel. you can also buy the toothbrush from them as well but I bought my at the convenient shop. they have shower toiletries. So you don't have to buy those. If you want to know, the gym is quite well equipped. many equipment and free weights Overall, I will give it a 4.5 out of 5.

    “One of My Worst Hotel Experiences — A Stay Full of Frustration”

    We arrived at the hotel on our first day, and despite the staff clearly seeing that we were travelling with a young child, the reception didn’t even bother to check our booking in their system. Instead, we were told to leave our luggage and return between 2:00 to 2:30pm. When we returned shortly after 2pm, there was already a long queue at the reception. I really don’t understand why the hotel would instruct all guests to return at the same time instead of staggering check-in to avoid the crowd. We were given Room 1903 and were shocked to find that the air conditioning wasn’t working. When I called the front desk, one staff member informed me that the aircon was centralised and only operated from 10pm to 7am. However, another staff later told me the exact opposite — that it did not work from 10pm to 7am. When I explained that the room temperature was 28°C, I was told that since the weather outside was cold, the hotel had decided to switch off the aircon. The staff suggested opening the window for ventilation and even offered to place a fan in the room — which I found completely unacceptable, especially with a young child. She then offered complimentary breakfast as compensation, which I declined, insisting that they fix the issue instead. I was told that the General Manager would contact me the next day, but that never happened. That night, the room temperature remained at 28°C, and even my 4-year-old daughter complained it was too hot to sleep. I called the front desk again, and a male staff kindly came up to show us another room, though it wasn’t much cooler. We decided to stay since we had already unpacked. The staff was very considerate and even brought us drinks, knowing how uncomfortable the heat was — his gesture was appreciated. Unfortunately, the night was still unbearable. The next morning, around 11am, another staff named Kelvin called and offered to show us a different room. Room 1407 was around 22°C, so we decided to move. I truly appreciate Kelvin’s professionalism and assistance with our luggage — he was the only staff who handled the situation properly. During our stay, we also requested for housekeeping to change the duvet, but were informed that housekeeping service was not available 24 hours. For a hotel of this supposed standard, this was quite disappointing. Unfortunately, throughout my 10-day stay, the aircon was never switched on, despite repeated assurances that it would be. I was also told multiple times that the GM would contact me, but I never received any call or apology throughout my entire stay. Overall, this was one of my worst hotel experiences — poor communication, inconsistent information, and a complete lack of accountability or customer care. For a hotel of this standard and price, I expected far better.

    “Fantastic Location”

    We booked a Standard Family Triple room for 6 nights in this hotel. The room was spacious (35 sqm) and clean. The only downside was we cannot turn on the aircon as it was in autumn (end October). We have to open the windows for the cold air to come in but when we open the windows, we can hear the loud noises from the streets. The location is fantastic as the shops, street food, restaurants, convenience stores are only a stone throw away. Overall, we have a very pleasant hotel stay. Will stay hear again on my next visit.
