Hotel is right smacked in the middle of Dongdaemun shopping street! The room and its furniture is dated. The air purifier and humidifier and baby rail were well appreciated. Swimming pool, beyond excellent. But don’t think it’s worth the price. For $300 a night, I’d say it’s quite pricey but its location is a win for me!

Wonderful service, great staff, cozy rooms, warm atmosphere with the festivities from the holiday season. Thanks always for such welcoming staff that immediately brings smile and joy as soon as you walk into the hotel and at the check in desk. The hotel is under construction so there will be noise from 8:30 am until 4 - 4:30pm. Best breakfast buffet in Seoul. Great happy hour. Amazing view from the lounge. Spacious and clean rooms.
Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower
4.6/596 Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|2.19km from Hongik Art Center
Stayed at the Lotte Executive Tower just after the holidays, in a Premier Double Room. Pros: - The entrance of the Executive Tower is absolutely beautiful. Same with the Main Tower. Elegant, refined, beautiful art work. The executive tower check-in desks are on the 15th floor. - Easy access by escalator directly into the Lotte Department Store (from where the escalator takes you to, hang a right to get to the famous food hall!) - Location can’t be beat. Directly across from Eujiro Station (1) and around the corner from Myeong-Dong Walking Street / Night Market and several 7-11s (which are almost as good as the 7-11s in Japan). - Our room was beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Very modern touches and upscale finishes. A chandelier in the bathroom?? - Immaculate housekeeping. - Excellent temperature and very strong water pressure in the shower! - Appreciate the 2 complimentary bottles of Evian every day. - Fast wifi speeds. Cons: - Love the Diptyque toiletries but wish they weren’t the communal / shared bottles. There were bits of dried lotion crusted on the pump from the previous occupant. - Weird that neither lobby had a single chair to sit on. What’s up with that? Comes off a bit inhospitable. This isn’t the type of place to attract non-guests / loiterers. A bench wouldn’t kill anyone! - For a 5* hotel and the price we’re paying, it’s disappointing that there is a surcharge should you need a toothbrush, toothpaste or use of the sauna (!!). They claim the charge for toothbrush and paste is to prevent wastage but surely you could just have these small items available upon request at the front desk? - The doormen’s manners range from formal and friendly (some) to indifferent (most) to downright hostile (many), especially if you are not a Korean speaker, as many don’t speak English. I’m not arrogant enough to think they should speak English in a non-English speaking country, but a smile is universal, you know? Would likely stay here again at the right price and given the location.

The hotel was clean and organized. The front desk was helpful and their were ladies that helped us to deliver our suitcases. I am not sure what their titles were but I just found that it was rather odd since most hotels in North America hired young men to do this. Kudos to the hotel for not type casting roles. The location was very good. The downstairs food court and restaurant was very tasty and clean. I would definitely go back to this hotel if I am ever in Korea again.

Beautiful hotel, great staffs, great facilities, near to public transport like bus/subway. It is very convenient to stay at shilla hotel. Although the room is not so big compared to other 5 stars hotel that i have stayed before. Staff is very professional, offering assistance and very alert to any of the guests request. Lobby is beautiful, they have sitting area, heater at the shuttle bus is very must helpful during winter. They provide free shuttle bus to tourist area. You can check at their concierge . There is a restaurant outside the hotel but you will have to walk around 1km if you dont want to eat in-house They have gym facilities but I didn’t get the chance to use it because of time limited but i did went for a walk at their garden. Overall I would recommend others to stay here.

The hotel location is perfect and it is right infront of the lift exit 4 from DDP train station. It has airport bus stop right in front of the hotel to Incheon Airport. It may take 2 hours traveling time to airport because the bus will drop by many places around Seoul before heading to airport. The room is spacious and clean.

It's a good hotel on a budget. Has a very homely breakfast and water dispenser to fill up your bottles with ice and water. Also has robes to use as pyjamas. Very no frills. Don't expect service from the staff. We expected to be able to check in earlier when we reached if the room was available. We reached only about 15mins to our check in time but were told to wait at the lobby till 1600. I am not sure what the fixation is about for the check in time. If the room is available, then let the guest have it. First time we have experienced this in any country.

Service was inconsistent - sometimes the staff were really nice and friendly and other times they were plain rude and disrespectful to you. When I first entered my room the smell took me aback. It smelled like a mix of sweat and wet socks. The sheets were crumpled and weren’t super clean either. The bathtub had yellow stains which threw me off as I was looking forward to a midnight soak. Basic amenities were given, which was great. The housekeeping ladies were really sweet as well. It’s a 5 minute walking distance to the train station so location was not so bad. Sadly I don’t think I’d book again as it was not that worth for the price.

It's a difficult location to find. It might be easier to find it if you look for the Hyundai Headquarters or the Orakai Hotel across the street. There are several subway stations in the area, but they are all within a 15-minute walk. There is no bus stop nearby and there are various courses, so you need to do some research. There are three convenience stores within a four-minute walk. The front desk was nice, but the room was small and I didn't know if I had upgraded to a superior type room. It is a room that has been elaborated.

It was also good in the new year-it was bigger than I thought it was a room and toilet, it was clean and very good ... the heating was good and the room was warm and the employees were very kind-in the need As soon as I gave it, the employee gave me a new year's greeting as soon as I gave it (laughs) The station Iran was a bit morguin, but I made a reservation at the market report on the square, so I was not so annoyed When I checked in at the day market, I ate as much as possible with my friends, ate and wrap it, and went to the hotel room to eat it. It seems like I just ate it in the new year.

We got a budget twin room with a shared bathroom. The room was small but it had air con and was enough for two people. The bunk beds are kinda hard by western standards but the pillow and duvet is soft and comfy. The shared bathroom was a little dirty but it was fine with shampoo and shower gel provided. The roof terrace is nice and the free breakfast isn’t bad - toast and cereal (Frosties or chocolate hoops). About a 3 minute walk away from Jongno 5 metro station, however we’re pretty sure there are two *******s outside the hostel. They’re harmless but maybe not suitable if you have young kids

Right where all the action of Myeong-dong street market is! Staff were helpful. Able to store luggage at the lobby before check-in and after check out. Toilets are equipped with smart bidet (yay! with seat warmer!!!! so nice in cold weather). Room is clean, though looked a lil rundown, but still acceptable, given that we were mostly out. Halal food available at the street market too (The halal lamb skewer was the best I've had)! The strawberries, grapes that tasted like sweet jellly, (its a no wonder SG markets sells them soo expensive!) On weekdays, street market starts at 5pm, on weekend, it starts by afternoon. Apart from street markets, Lotte store is within walking distance for those who wishes to spend on the higher end products. Not to forget, Olive Young is all the rage there, especially during their sale for that Korean glass skincare! Managed to snag some Kpop items for kids back home. The light sticks were way cheaper than in Singapore, and there were so many merch and photocards available. Even the lomo cards are nice! The airport transfer bus is within walking distance from the hotel. The bus will stop at a few hotels within the area to pick up passengers heading along the way or towards airport. We took the airport transfer bus on a weekend to Incheon Airport Terminal 1. It cost 17000 won/per pax. Journey took nearly 2hrs, considering the weekend traffic at noon. Can't wait to visit again!

The hotel’s staff is very friendly, responsible, and helpful, we had a problem with the room and they solved it right away. The gym is really large and is equipped with lots of machines; there is even a separate room for yoga and stretching. The hotel is located next to the City Hall subway and the Deoksugung Palace; there are many places to eat nearby. It’s a fine place to stay while you are in Seoul.

Every time I go to South Korea, I live in their home, I can cook by myself, the boss speaks Chinese, it is safe to live there, the room is clean, and the toothpaste inside is very easy to use. I want to know where I bought the toothpaste? I originally planned to go to South Korea from March 13th to 17th. Now the epidemic situation can't be controlled. I'm really drunk. When the epidemic situation ends, I will fly to Korea and live in your home. I am used to a friendly shop.

It took about 10 minutes to get to Jongno 5-ga and Dongdaemun Station, but since it's a slope from Dongdaemun Station, I think it's easier to get there from Jongno 5-ga if you're carrying a suitcase! Although it is not very close to the station, it is within walking distance of Gwangjang Market and the flourishing area of ​​Dongdaemun, so it was a hotel that I would like to use again! During my trip, it was easier to travel by bus because the bus stop was closer, but when I returned home, I found it difficult to bring my suitcase onto the bus, so I took the train to the airport! You can leave your suitcase at the front desk, and when you check in, you will receive a ticket for each person that can be exchanged for an Americano on the basement floor. I can speak Korean, so I was fine with any of the staff members, but even if you're worried, there are staff members who can speak Japanese, so I think you can rest assured! Everyone greeted me every time I passed through the front desk, which made a great impression!　 Regarding the room, the shower and toilet are in the same space, but there is a glass door, so there was no particular inconvenience. Also, if you log in to the TV, you can watch Netflix in your room and watch idol music videos. In the washroom, there was a set containing a comb brush, hair ties and cotton, a set of shaving brush and facial soap, shampoo, conditioner, body gel, body lotion, and soap. There were also slippers and bathrobes, and a safe in the room. It was also nice that they gave us new water and towels every time they cleaned.

The young lady at the front desk of the hotel is super good, and the booking on Ctrip is also very fast. We searched for several hotels, but they were all booked and refunded, and the online and offline were inconsistent. This one was booked online, and an email was sent immediately, very much. There is a convenience store around, and you can store your luggage in advance. It's very good. There is a big cockroach in the room, and the trembling slippers are killed. I still hope that the cleaning can be done. thanks
