Mountain view Hotels in Seoul

"The location is very nice. You can easily walk to Myeongdong, Namsan Tower, and many restaurants, and transportation is convenient. The staff were very kind and helpful. However, it’s difficult for me to say this was a good stay overall. Here are the reasons why: • Elevator – The elevator is only for luggage, not for guests. This should be clearly stated before booking. As in here it’s show as the property has an elevator without explaining that it is a cargo elevator, it is misleading. • Security – The room password was simply the room number with an additional “1” added to it. I didn’t leave valuables in the room, so I wasn’t too worried, but it still felt like a weak security system. • Room Door – There is no additional lock on the inside of the room. While the digital lock can be activated, I never felt completely confident that the door was fully secured. • Soft Opening Without Notice – When I booked, there was no mention that the property was still in a soft-opening stage. I expected the hotel to be fully operational. Instead, there were unfinished areas, items left around the property, and staff frequently entering rooms after check-in to inspect or photograph things without being asked. Had I known the hotel was not fully ready, I would have considered other options before booking. • Poor Room Layout – My room was 405, located at the end of the hallway. The neighboring room (404) had a door positioned in a way that it would hit my door whenever opened carelessly. During my four-night stay, the guests next door banged their door into mine repeatedly. Eventually, at around 1 a.m. one night, I had to contact the staff and ask them to address the issue. • Cleanliness Concerns – The property appears to use the same type of towel for everything. When I asked about a bathroom mat, I was told to use a towel instead. This gave me the impression that the towels were being used for multiple purposes, including drying floors. On top of that, the towels shed lint and left fibers on my skin after use. • Very Small Bathroom – Please be aware that the bathroom is extremely small. The shower is positioned directly over the toilet, and there is barely enough room to stand while showering. In practice, you almost need to sit on the toilet to shower comfortably. After two nights, I seriously considered moving to another hotel. The only reason I stayed was because my mother didn’t want to move all of our belongings again. To be fair, one of the staff members (possibly the owner) sincerely apologized and explained that they were trying their best. I do believe they genuinely care and are making an effort. However, there is still a long way to go before this property is ready to provide a comfortable hotel experience."

"Very convenient, clean and hygienic hotel, impressive quick self check in service. I booked a 5 nights twin bedroom. The room was clean and tidy, the air in the room smell nice, the bedsheets were neat and clean. However, the shower room ventilation needs to be improved. Other than that, this hotel provides excellent complimentary breakfast, everything was perfect to me. Will definitely stay again next time."

"Stayed at Myeongdong Merlin Hotel for a short transit and overall it was a good experience. The location is convenient about 15–20 minutes to Myeongdong Night Street, which is great if you want easy access to shopping and food. We arrived quite late (around 10pm) after traveling from Busan and checked out early at 5am to head to ICN airport. Even with the short stay, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, which we really appreciated after a long journey. We were traveling in a big group (18 people), and the hotel managed us well. Rooms were clean and facilities were sufficient for a short stay. Service was also efficient. Overall, a solid and convenient choice especially for short stays or transit in Seoul 👍"

"Hotel staff contacted me before check in date and introduceed the useful information. When I went earlier than check in time (15:00), I could leave the luggage at the lobby. When room availabel, staff took the luggage to keep at the room and notice me via Whatsapp. Even no elevator but it’ ok for me because I stay at 3rd floor. It may be inconvenient if you have big luggage but stay higher floor. At 3rd floor the have drinking water atation which hot, cold water and ice are available for free. Lovely decorations. I love yellow color. Projector TV and sound bar are good. Location is the best. Near subway Line4 (Myeongdong station with escalator) and airport bus stop 6015 and 6001. I recommend this hotel 😊."

"Excellent location, airport Limousine 6001 dropped near Namdaemun Market station and only 4 mins walk to the guesthouse. No one was there to check in after 9 pm but we contacted the guesthouse 2 days prior and informed them that we will be arriving late after 9 pm. They emailed us how to get to the guesthouse along with the pincode to the door of the guesthouse and our room was ready once we arrived and assigned to us with the information near the front door. It is located near the metro station and Namdaemun Market with only a few minutes walk. Restaurants, 24 hours open convenience stores are also nearby. Yes we will stay again here if we ever visit Seoul as it was only $80 CAD per night. The room has AC and attached private bathroom with shower."
