Mixed — lounge coffee appreciated, but at least one guest who paid for breakfast could not take anything away when they missed the service, which was disappointing.

Amazing! Will come back again.
Pros:

The location! A very short walk to Myeongdong station. It was in the heart of Myeongdong.
Our view was the city view which was incredible.
There’s a business lounge where you can sit and have free coffee, charge your phone and just relax.

Cons:

The room we had was very small. It was quite challenging to move around with 2 young kids and our luggages.

Good location but otherwise ordinary
Pros:

The location was wonderful.

Cons:

Despite booking an expensive rate including breakfast on booking.com, we were initially allocated a very small room with no bathroom door. They moved us but only after we complained. And it was late and we were very tired. The room we were initially given did not meet the description on booking.com. A tour we booked changed our time so we could not get breakfast and the property was unable to offer so much as a roll or coffee that we could take away, even though we’d paid for breakfast. Very ordinary.

Great Location,
Pros:

Location was excellent, like most of the hotels in the area, Checking in was a very fast and simple process and nice touch that they gave chocolates.

Cons:

Staffing was minimal so if you had question or needed help there were people ahead of you, so be ready to wait. Hotel did look dated and the cleaning in the common areas could have been better.

Good stay but more to expect, prime location for city stay beside subway & safe area.
Pros:

Central location, 1 street walking distance to myeongdong shops, good for shopping & anytime back to hotel for a quick refresh. 7eleven, CU at left & right side for quick breakfast & supper. Myeongdong Subway is just right in front of the hotel acting as a good base to visit many places by subway transfers. It is just 2 stations transfer from Seoul Station to the hotel. A connected bakery at entrance sideway offer bakery solutions as well. Safe & lively environments (especially weekend nights). Did not use the self-laundry but noticed it has 4 machines, considered more than usual for similar type of hotel size. Room size is acceptable, corridor is lighted, shower water is hot & cold provided. Daily free capsule coffee by bringing down daily provided coffee cups to lobby lvl3 for self-coffee services, and a cafe zone is provided besides it for leisure relax. There is a self-service stores at lvl3 selling some mini bars, toiletry etc, as well as a wired luggage storage zones for hotel guests for same day usage. Credit for providing small sitting stool at floor level as lifts are slower, could be useful for elderly or tired legs after long walking. Shower & toilet bowl (with auto-bidet) are separated within same toilet. Room temperature is neither too cold or too hot for an autumn weather, hotel aircon shall be centralised but it doesn't feel sweating with layer clothing. In term of room carpet dustiness, it is acceptable & no strong smell, not too dated. The hotel assist with booking a taxi on departure date & it is on time. A special credit for the frontdesk Ms Ashley for the very welcoming check in services with bright smiles, patiently introducing the facilities & memberships benefits. Successful membership joining on spot qualify me for an early check in at early noon as welcome benefits which is such a big bonus to take early settling down after the long flight.

Cons:

The housekeeping services could have been improved, noticeable loud sounds are quite obvious in the morning when housekeeping was carried out at the neighbours units, could be an issue for light sleepers staying for holidays relaxing. The towels are smaller size & thinner than usual, it is acceptable but could be an issue for different people. Hair dryer may not be that hot sometimes. Could be an issues for room sharing as toilet wooden slide doors are non-lockable. For elderly, the incline board to shower is quite slippery thus extra cautious on that. Requested for hotel laundry bag, and the staff politeness could be further polished as it seems very unwelcoming handing over the laundry bags request. During the stay halfway, a quite abnormal housekeeping careless mistake happened however the front desk management (Credit to Ms Jessica) is able to took swift response by provided a formal explanation the next day morning as well as sincerely extended some reasonable acceptable courtesies for the remainder of the stay to make good of it. Entrance level could have more bellboy to assist with luggage to check in at lvl3. 3 lifts but it is slower & only 1 open at once instead of multiple lifts. The hotel is not too dated to be honest, just that the lifts need more patient if u are in a rush. Generally, majority of the staffs can converse in English but noticed that frontdesk check in are always seen 1 staff only hence probably it explained why they are seem looking stress most of the time handling customers especially when there is a 2 & more different customer queuing. For the price, it is at higher side which is common in korea/japan for such prime city location but probably has to offer more to attract consistent long term return stays, there are still rooms for improvements in term of more friendly customer service, competitive hotel facilities at this price.

Pros:

Voy siempre q voy a Seul en los últimos 6 años. He ido en pareja y con familia y es un acierto seguro. Habitaciones limpias, baños cómodos y todo muy limpio. El desayuno buffet es espectacular. Merece la pena pagarlo. A 40 metros de la parada del metro y de la famosa zona de Myeondong para comer y comprar.

Cons:

A título personal , únicamente me molestó que siendo cliente con membresía me equivoque haciendo la reserva y pedí 2 camas en lugar de una y me hicieron pagar la diferencia. No lo veo correcto para un cliente de tanto tiempo
