Pros:

Locations was good as it’s just at the outskirts of Myeongdong street shopping. Airport Bus near by. Train station is near the hotel with good connection.

Cons:

Hotel lobby lift directory from the other building entrance could be better indicated.

Needs refurbishment
Pros:

If you want to stay in Myeongdong, the location couldn’t be better

Cons:

The reception staff were clearly busy, but not very friendly. I felt a bit like an inconvenience. The room was very dated and smelt bad. It was also extremely small. I only stayed for one night but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Better accommodations exist for comperable price.
Pros:

Clean accommodations.

Cons:

Breakfast was mediocre.

Staff, particularly front desk, was not very friendly.

Although we would leave our room in the AM with the service room light on, we would return late afternoon and the room still was not serviced.

It was a great day very central to everything
Pros:

Everything about the property, location, breakfast, workers.
The limousine bus is virtually outside the door only a few steps away
Also a few steps away is the green two line for the train and other bus services me getting around very easy

Cons:

I did have an issue with the centre light in the room keep coming on during the night though that got quickly fixed up once I advise the desk in the morning

Location, cleanliness and friendly. 👍🏻
Pros:

Location was hard to beat. Close to all the Myeongdong action. Walking distance to Gyeongbokgung Palace, about 15-20 min. Also same distance to Insadong, another cute and neighborly area.

We did not choose to dine in for breakfast nor did we eat at this cafe/restaurant. So many options nearby. We did use our drink coupon at the bar…free wine or beer or two other non-alcoholic drink.

Rooms are clean and modern. The room we had on 14th floor was a family style room so we paid a little extra to have some additional space about +300sq feet. It has two queen size beds and faces Lotte Department Store. Bring your adapter just in case as there are no USB or USC plugs by the beds.

Having a laundry facility helps as is the airport limo bus down the block by Ibis Hotel.

Staff are always courteous, friendly.
Would stay here again. A bit more expensive but worth it.

Cons:

The only persons to speak with are front desk personnel. It can get busy and prepare to have a translator app readily available but they are always courteous. It’s not a dealbreaker.
