Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower
4.6/537 Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.59km from Shinhan Museum
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

Le Seoul Hotel

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.59km from Shinhan Museum
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.
Travelodge Myeongdong City Hall
4.3/5105 Reviews

Travelodge Myeongdong City Hall

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.62km from Shinhan Museum
I recently had a pleasant stay at Travelodge Myeongdong City Hall during my visit to Seoul. Overall, the hotel provided comfortable accommodations and convenient amenities. However, there are a few areas that could be improved upon for an even better experience. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, with the reception staff being friendly and proficient in English. It was refreshing to have a hassle-free experience upon arrival and departure. One of the highlights of the hotel was the presence of water dispensers on each floor. This feature made it easy to refill my water bottle without having to constantly purchase bottled water. The shower heater in the room worked well, quickly heating up the water and providing a satisfying high-pressure shower experience. It was a small but appreciated detail that added to the comfort of my stay. Another positive aspect was the availability of Netflix in the room. This entertainment option allowed me to relax and unwind with my favorite shows during my downtime. However, there were a few areas that could be improved upon. The hotel only had one washing machine and dryer available, which sometimes made it challenging to find an open slot. It would be beneficial if the management considered adding more machines to accommodate the laundry needs of guests. Additionally, while there were two nearby 7-Elevens and a Kyochon, I found the surrounding restaurants to be quite pricey. It would be fantastic if there were more affordable dining options available in the vicinity. This would enhance the overall experience for guests who prefer more budget-friendly dining choices. Lastly, during my stay, there was some ongoing construction nearby. Although it didn't significantly impact my overall experience, it's worth noting for those who prioritize a quiet atmosphere. Nonetheless, I believe this was a temporary situation that is likely to be resolved in the near future. In conclusion, Travelodge Myeongdong City Hall provided a pleasant stay with comfortable accommodations, friendly staff, and convenient amenities. However, improvements in terms of laundry facilities and the availability of affordable dining options would make me more likely to choose this hotel again in the future. I hope the management takes these suggestions into consideration for an even better guest experience.

Here Hotel Self Check-in

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.
Crown Park Hotel Myeongdong Seoul
4.2/5256 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.
Soo Song Guest House
4/535 Reviews
City Hall/Myeong-Dong
The transport guesthouse in the middle of Seoul is quiet and cozy, and the staff are friendly and my family visited their homeland stayed comfortably. It was a great luck to find a place where you can stay comfortably without any cost while looking for a suitable place to do Seoul City Tour. There were many restaurants around, so I could have a food dinner. It was great to have a friendly staff guide the restaurants around.
Koreana Hotel
4.4/5426 Reviews
City Hall/Myeong-Dong
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.
New Seoul Hotel Myeongdong
4.1/5363 Reviews
City Hall/Myeong-Dong
This hotel was fine for my needs. I was out of the hotel most of the day, so it was just a place to sleep. This was my first time to Seoul so I didn’t know what to expect. The hotel staff was really kind, spoke English well, and answered a lot of my questions, they gave a great recommendation for a very local breakfast restaurant nearby. It was clean, aside from some of the grouting in the shower and one of the coffee mugs in the room was not cleaned well. The towels need an upgrade. The bed isn’t super soft. The room itself almost felt like a private university dorm room. There’s a mini fridge, a kettle, and a place to hang some clothes. There is a coffee shop and bakery directly downstairs and the metro is right around the corner, so the location was incredibly convenient. Overall, I think it’s an average hotel suitable for a traveler on a budget if you’re not spending a lot of time in the hotel. The staff was great!
