The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful. Excellent breakfast buffet."

voco Seoul Myeongdong by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic service, the staff in the reception and the cleaning staff were fantastic"

L’Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were professional and very kind , room was very clean , housekeeping was also very thorough. Will come back again."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Very central to everything Myegondong had to offer. The room was spacious and very quite. The coffee spot was good but could have been stocked with more coffee and sugar (l coffee and 1 sugar per person) and no milk. The hotel did not have a bar or a restaurant only a breakfast room and you could get a sandwich,cake and coffee in the afternoon. Dropping off was ok as long as it was prior to 10am but pick up was quite a way, particularly when you have mobility issues and staff only help with the luggage to the foyer."

Step Inn Myeongdong 1

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and clean and laundry machine"

HOTEL MYEONGDONGJANG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff were wonderful and very helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The amenities at the hotel were very good. There is a small wine cooler in the room instead of a mini fridge that was the only negative"

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Good not great - I booked one of the character themed rooms on the 14th. These are more expensive. The themed decor is excellent. However the room is not really fit for two adults - only one wide table and only one charger near the bed. The chargers on the desk didn’t work and the far charger near the tv was low voltage and so took a she to do anything. The air con is centrally maintained and during our stay was too cold. Also the vents don’t appear to have been cleaned. When opting to open the window this is behind the desk and if open the curtains aren’t thick enough to keep any light out with the window closed (the window has a blind on it). The entire room (likely as the window is never open and the air on never cleaned) is very musky and humid. A dehumidifier is provided but with the lack of functional plugs it wasn’t possible to use this. The bathroom was fine but the shower head desperately needed cleaning. The real selling points of this hotel were the location and the excellent buffet breakfast"

Sejong Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was very close to the Main Street, shops, restaurants and public transport. Room was very clean. Breakfast is very simple."
