best value for money and best loction”

my family of 4 (include a 6 years old) stayed for 9 nights. We love it, the location, the cleaniness and the staff. This hotel has changed its name to Hotel Midcity MyeongDong, so if you are looking for afirst you will not find it. It is located away from the busy MyeongDong area but it is still near subway, only 5mins walk to Euljiro-ga 1 station and has many restaurants and cafes and convenience stores a stone throw away distance. nearby so many tourist places we visited, 5mins walk to Euljiro-ga 1 station you can see Lotte Department store and turn right at Lotte Department store and walk 5mins you find Namdaemun market, on the left of Lotte you will find the famous Myeongdong shopping streets. From the main road just walk another 10-15mins you will see a steep slope to the Namsan Cable car station(its an elevator that takes you up to buy your cable car tickets to N Seoul Tower). Will definitely go bck to Hotel Midcity MyeongDong again as my kids love the bunk beds.

Room was clean and comfortable. Location was between 2 train station of 2 different line, so it was quite convenient. Hotel was surround with restaurants. The only issue is that the hotel management has changed and it’s now call midcity hotel. But on agoda and google, it still show afirst myeongdong. But Naver map is shown as midcity. So there might be some confusion on arrival. Generally we have a pleasant stay.

Such a happy hotel!!!”

It was my first time in Seoul, and I was traveling with girl friends. We wanted an affordable but nice hotel that's close to Myeongdong's shopping area, and we successfully found one! aFIRST Hotel Myeongdong is definitely a place I'll recommend to anyone visiting Seoul! Location is great. While you'll have to walk about 5-10 minutes to the shopping street, it's all good because the surrounding areas of the hotel won't bore you. There are lots of restaurants--and I really mean "lots"! Getting around is also quite easy once you get the hang of it. :) As for the rooms, they have the PERFECT room for three people! We got their Triple Room with three separate single beds, which are super comfy by the way! Room is spacious enough for three girls with a lot of items. Room also is very new and exceptionally clean. Room has many mirrors--something I always look for, and has a good-sized window which can bring in more than sufficient sunlight when you're tired of using fake light. Haha. Room design is also very pleasant--simple but stylish and refreshing to the eyes. Also, when I stay in hotel rooms, I get a feel of its aura and this one's definitely a positive one! My friends and I, after we were done with the trip, would always talk about how we miss this particular room we stayed in. Would definitely love to be back in Seoul and stay in this hotel. <3 P.S. They also have a weighing scale for your luggage at the lobby!!! No need to worry about getting overweight bags!

Literally surrounded by authentic Korean local restaurants!”

This time I traveled Seoul with my family and we chose aFirst Myeongdong because of its great reviews of the location and facilities - and it did not disappoint us! We didn't have problem with restaurants as the hotel is literally being surrounded by a lot of local korean restaurants. It's a food haven as corporate employees working nearby have lunch in this area. Only a few meters away from the hotel: - Convenience stores (711 and GS25) - Subway Eul jiro (4) - Starbucks and Holly's Cafe (Local Coffee Shop) - A public park with different maple and ginko trees - where I took photos of the beautiful foliage! - ARC n BOOK - a famous library and bookstore - Cheonggyecheon stream - Burger King - McDonalds - GongCha - Police Station Myeongdong Shopping area can be accessed by foot as well. Though it's like a 10 minute walk to get there but still, you don't have to take a bus or train! Feels so good to walk around! Thanks to the staff who always clean our room!

Very nice hotel at Myeongdong, Seoul”

Staying at aFirst with family for 4 nights on our first time Seoul visiting, the hotel gave us very good impression, very clean room and comfortable bed, very closed to Subway station and Myeongdong shopping area, but in a quite street - Super location! Around hotel, you can easily find a lot of restaurants, hotel shuttle bus is also convenient to go many main places like Seoul Station, Nam Shan Tower cable car, etc., Hotel Staffs are all nice to response all our requests! Thanks and we definitely recommend this hotel! will be back here if we have next chance.
