“Best location”

Hotel location is in the middle of my myeong dong , so its the area for shopping lover and enjoying street food at night and many restaurants. Room is small . Reception is not on the ground floor but the area of hotel has everything also near by subway station.

“Convenient location”

This hotel is easy to get to by airport limo bus or train. Would not recommend train as there are too many stairs to handle your luggage. Airport bus alights at the main road close to hotel.

This hotel is easy to get to by airport limo bus or train. Would not recommend train as there are too many stairs to handle your luggage. Airport bus alights at the main road close to hotel. Conveniently situated in the heart of Myeondong and near Myeondong exit 8, this makes a hotel a good spot for shopping and there is no lack of food options around as well. Room wise; small. Just enough space to open luggage and squeeze on by. Amenities include clean towels (although had 1 towel that was stained), hand wash, shower foam, shampoo, conditioner and kettle with simple tea facilities. Front desk speaks good English and are very helpful to hold luggage, arrange taxis etc. 2nd time here and ok if on a budget.

“Lack of room security. Location is the only best thing”

Booked this hotel for 6 nights, based on all the good reviews and of course of the very good location. We booked a double room and triple room for our group of five.

Booked this hotel for 6 nights, based on all the good reviews and of course of the very good location. We booked a double room and triple room for our group of five. Had read about the hazardous high bathtub in the reviews so I booked a double bed room as it's with a standing shower instead of a bathtub. Couldn't do the same for the triple room since there wasn't a choice. My friends in the triple room with kids expressed the difficulty of getting in and out of the very high bathtub and had to be very careful. Speaking on the bathroom, it's designed in such a weird way for my double room, the toilet is in a separate cubicle and I have to walk out and go in to the other side to wash my hands. It's very difficult to have a nice shower in this hotel as water overflowed out of the toilet to the room even with the bathroom door closed. After the flooding happened on the first day, we had to be extra careful to stand in a way that water will not flow out. It's a good thing it was winter and we didn't need to take longer showers. Water pressure of the shower was weak. The triple room bathtub flooded on one of the days. The shower head also dripped water while using the handheld shower. The room lights malfunctioned for both our rooms on separate days when we couldn't on or off the lights. The TV never worked and we gave up switching it on as it keeps jumping with no reception. These are only small issues that I can tolerate. The horror story happened on Day 6 of our stay. I always have a habit of checking the door every time we leave our room to go out, to make sure it's locked. When we went out on Day 6 morning, I did the usual checks after closing the door and to my utmost shock, the door opened! It opened from the outside without the keycard! I tried opening and closing many times and it was the same, I could open it without the keycard and it can't be locked. Imagine my horror thinking that we just spent the night with the door unlocked and can be opened by anyone from the outside without a key card. We immediately called the reception to check the issue. It was solved after that but that security lapse really scared us to the max. I was already not comfortable with the absence of a door latch in the room and this had to happen. I'm actually surprised no one even mentioned in the reviews that there's no door latch in the rooms. A door latch in the room is a very important aspect for me in my hotel search and I think I will not consider this hotel personally again due to this reason. As for the good points, the location is unbeatable. It's in the heart of Myeongdong shopping district, so accessible and convenient when you need to go back to put your buys and freshen up after some shopping sprees. Love the CU just behind the hotel, the Coffeebean opposite and Ediya a stone's throw away. The HBAF store is also in the same building. Abundance of nice shops and restaurants plus the food street stalls. Meeting point for our klook day trips was also very near and convenient. Service of the reception staff was good and friendly. They could speak English well. We liked the water dispenser on every floor which was so convenient. Also love that the hanging clothes area in the room was a open concept, instead of the usual cupboard in most hotels. Our winter jackets would not have enough air if they were kept in an enclosed cupboard. If the hotel could do an overhaul on their doors and install a door latch in their rooms, it would provide the added security for guests. It would also be good if the hotel could do something to solve the flooding and overflowing issue of the bathrooms.
