Romantic Hotels in Seoul

"I've stayed here twice already, and every time I visit Korea, I want to stay here. The location is super convenient, with the airport bus taking you directly to the hotel, and plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. It's just so convenient! The front desk staff are also very enthusiastic, and the room is spacious enough, making for a comfortable stay. The only downside is that the cleanliness isn't up to par. There were hairs on the floor and sticky residue by the bed, which I ended up cleaning myself. The disposable cups also showed signs of being used, so I guess the previous guest used them and put them back, and the cleaning staff didn't check or replace them. I hope they can improve their hygiene. Other than the cleanliness, everything else is great."

"The room is nice, and the location is excellent, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The self-service laundry is also great, costing 4000 KRW for washing and 4000 KRW for drying, with an additional 1000 KRW for detergent. The only downside might be the round sink in the bathroom, which tends to splash water onto the floor, making the slippers slippery. I suggest improving this. Everything else was quite good! We extended our stay for a day due to the typhoon, and the price was almost the same as the original, which was very fair. ^_^ PS: The hotel offers a free pillow exchange service. We asked for one latex and one magnetic pillow. If you need one, just call the front desk! 🌟"

"## Location: Perfect Score Right across from Lotte Duty-Free and less than a 5-minute walk to Shinsegae Duty-Free, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. Its location is comparable to the Aloft nearby but significantly better than Voco (which requires a bit of a detour). If you're here for serious shopping, this location will definitely save you time and effort. ## Room & Facilities The room size is similar to Aloft's – both are on the 'compact' side. It's a bit smaller than Voco, so if you have a lot of luggage, you might want to reconsider. The hotel is located within a mixed-use building, so you'll need to go to the 9th-floor lobby for check-in. Waiting for elevators during peak hours can be a bit of a pain. There are free luggage lockers on the 9th floor lobby, which are very convenient to use. ## Service & Details The service was adequate, neither exceptionally good nor bad. However, there's a noticeable drawback: my Trip.com reservation explicitly requested a 'high floor,' but I was given the 11th floor (guest rooms are on floors 10-18). This compromised both the view and the quietness. I recommend calling ahead to confirm or actively requesting a higher floor upon arrival. The central air conditioning noise from the adjacent building runs 24/7, which somewhat affected my sleep. ## Alternatives Next door is Ibis. If you're not sensitive to floor level or room size, you could compare prices for the same location and pick whichever is cheaper. ## Summary: If you're looking for ultimate convenience and don't mind a smaller room or the occasional elevator wait, this place is worth considering. However, if a great view, spacious rooms, or a high-floor experience are important to you, I suggest lowering your expectations or looking elsewhere."

"Generally a good experience especially for its location in Myeongdong, which is convenient to go anywhere around the city area of Seoul. The space is good to accomodate a family of 4 but the toilet space is quite limited, given the space being occupied by the spa and the dining area. Nevertheless, the customer service is responsive and friendly and would recommend to everyone who likes to experience !"

"Location: First time staying in Yeongdeungpo; it's a short walk from the airport limousine bus stop so that was convenient. There's a Starbucks and C U convenience store right outside the hotel. YDP station and Lotte Department Store are a short walk away, though I recommend taking a short bus ride to the Hyundai Department Store. It's also near the Yeouido Hangang Park. Room: Layout is a little strange as other reviewers have noted, and indeed there's very little space to open your suitcase. I placed mine at the wardrobe area, which meant it was a little difficult to access the clothes I hung up. I liked the two couches against the window. Toilet: The sink is the first thing you see when you enter the room. I didn't like how the shower and toilet shared a door, and there's no bidet for the toilet. Water pressure and temperature control for both the rain shower and handheld shower were good. Bed: Fairly comfy, however it was the first time I've ever experienced a creaky hotel bed. Miscellaneous: Might be a minor thing for most but the room slippers were a joke...the top part was literally paper and difficult to slip on and off because of the way the paper was folded. Fridge was small and not very cold but did its job. Lobby is small and only has one seating area, so it's not a place to chill or wait around long. Staff were friendly, and I was allowed to check in slightly earlier than 3pm. Checkout was fuss-free."

"The room was very clean and tidy, and having a microwave was convenient for heating food. A cleaning lady came daily to empty the trash. It's very close to the subway station and within walking distance to Myeongdong, making the location excellent. However, waiting for the elevator took a long time, and the bedding wasn't great; the fabric felt rough."

"The hotel is located right in the heart of Myeongdong, very close to Euljiro subway station. With many restaurants nearby, the location is incredibly convenient. I arrived at the hotel around 11 PM on my check-in day, so I went up to the 3rd floor via the elevator and found a card key with my name on it at the counter. I believe if I had gone to the counter the next day, they would have told me my room number, but I was short on time and just continued using the card key, which wasn't inconvenient at all. The room didn't have enough space to fully open a large suitcase without blocking the aisle, but since I was traveling alone, it wasn't a major issue. The mirror and light were very handy for doing makeup. The sink, shower, and toilet were all in one area, but it was clean and easy to use. The water pressure in the shower was also good. I could catch a glimpse of the Myeongdong cityscape from the window. There were plenty of outlets, so as long as you have a plug adapter and a voltage converter, you should be fine. Towels were provided in the room, and extra ones were available in the hallway, which I found to be a thoughtful touch. Although it was a non-smoking room, there was a smoking area very close to the hotel, which made it tolerable. I would definitely consider staying here again for a solo trip! Thank you."

"This hotel is beautiful. It was very clean and quiet outside, but closest to everything without being chaotic. It was so so clean and the room was big. The washer in the room is so convenient. It’s a little much to drag your luggage from check in to building B, but it’s still worth it. I’d definitely stay here again."

"Second stay at Nine Tree Myeongdong I and high recommend anyone to stay here. Super convenient location, just steps away from airport limousine bus stop, subway station and right at Myeongdong street itself. No need to worry about pulling your luggage too far or crossing the road/up down stairs. Staff were friendly and professional during check in. This time my room was a bit smaller than the previous time but it was sufficient as I was traveling solo. Rain shower water pressure is not as strong as the hand held shower head but loved everything else in the room!"
