Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.15km from Hwangudan(Wongudan)

Latest booking 20 hrs ago

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.

Le Seoul Hotel

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.26km from Hwangudan(Wongudan)

Latest booking 12 hrs ago

I used it by myself in January. Thank you for being so nice to me. ・Location The nearest station is City Hall Station on Line 1. It is one stop from Seoul Station. Sightseeing spots such as Myeong-dong and Dongdaemun are all on Line 4, so no matter where you go, you won't have to change trains. Transferring to the Seoul subway requires a considerable distance of stairs. City Hall Station was the closest to me, but I walked 15 minutes to Myeong-dong and 10 minutes to Namdaemun each time. There are no supermarkets around, but there are many convenience stores. ·room It's clean like new. All the furniture and appliances are new and clean. The room is large enough to run around. There is a hanger rack hanger. There was a large full-length mirror, a spacious washroom, a makeup table and mirror, a cafe table, and two bright lights. The bathtub is so big that you can almost float your feet in it, a stylish shower that pours down from the ceiling, and a spacious and bright washstand. Surprisingly, there was no mold at all. There is no mold or dust behind the sink. It is well maintained. The room is warm with underfloor heating. It was fun to watch YouTube on TV. ·meal Breakfast is a light buffet served on the ba*****t floor from 7am to 11am. Although it is less than a business hotel, it will satisfy your hunger. The chef is kind. The menu includes scrambled eggs, sausage, wakame soup, gyoza, prided potatoes, white bread, yogurt, orange juice, coffee, and a break. I don't have anything I want to eat, but it's a beautiful restaurant and a comfortable place, so I can relax. ·service Check-in is done at the reception on the third floor. Many Koreans don't smile, but they greeted me with cute smiles. Our staff will guide you regarding Wifi, breakfast, and check-out. I was also able to store my luggage. ・Points that caught my attention Since I was staying for several nights, I asked them to clean my room, but they wouldn't change the sheets on my futon. The futon looked clean. Other than that, cleaning is perfect.

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.49km from Hwangudan(Wongudan)
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!

UH Suite Central Seoul
4.1/529 Reviews
City Hall/Myeong-Dong
My recent stay at UH Suite Central Seoul was nothing short of perfect. Impeccable cleanliness throughout. Peter, Jace, and Victoria exemplified hospitality at its finest, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. The attention to detail in the rooms and common areas showcased the hotel's commitment to excellence. Its central location made exploring Seoul a breeze. I highly recommend UH Suite for a flawless stay in Korea. Lift abit small

City Hall/Myeong-Dong
The location was very good as it was close to the city of Myeongdong and Euljiro Station. The check-in is late at 22:00, and there are few amenities, but considering the price and location, I was very satisfied.
Line Hotel Myeongdong
3.9/5190 Reviews
City Hall/Myeong-Dong
I had a day time layover (5am-10pm) so I reserved the room the day before my layover even though I’ll be checking in on my check out day. I kept trying for a late check out and was willing to pay for it just for some extra comfort for my family and I to rest after our red eye flight but was denied because they needed to clean the room although it wasn’t even occupied as I checked that it was still available online for booking. I did get until 12pm instead of 11am but I also checked in at 8am so only having 4 hours of the room. Besides this, the room was clean and the location is great.
Crown Park Hotel Myeongdong Seoul
4.2/5262 Reviews
City Hall/Myeong-Dong
The room is very dusty and it caused us bad allergies for the first few days. The water bottle provided had a layer of fine dusts on it too which looks uncomfortable to drink. Their pillows are extremely soft, almost lying flat on the bed. Other than that, everything else was not bad - the water heater change’s temperature instantly which is great and the toilet is clean with fresh towels provided daily. They do not provide, shavers/toothbrushes/toothpaste and these are chargeable. Overall, the room has a good amount of space to fit in 3 of us with big luggages.

City Hall/Myeong-Dong
The environment and location are first-class. The airport bus goes to the isolated hotel. It is very close to the Metro City Hall Station. It is only one stop to Seoul Station. You can travel to Myeongdong, Hongdae, Dongdaemun and other places without changing lines. The hotel room is large, but It's a pity that there is no air-conditioning for staying in winter, and the room is very hot!

City Hall/Myeong-Dong
Amazing location in the center of myungdong. You can walk to many tourist places. The breakfast places were too small and there were too many people waiting in line, definitely not enough capacity to hold the guests conveniently. Hope they can find a solution, for this. I also have to say that staffs at the swimming pool was very rude.
