Fantastic Stay in the Heart of Myeondong”

Hotel 28 Myeongdong is nested right in the heart of Myeondong. This hotel is certainly luxurious and I felt right at home when I checked in. Staying in this hotel has lots of perks, with the key holders having discount benefits of up to 20% with their associated merchants (F&B outlets, ABC Mart, Spa etc). The lobby is located at level 6 and check in was very prompt. I was 2 hours earlier than the actual check in time of 3pm. The front desk was very nice to allow early check in. Special thanks to the lady, Chloe, who had make special arrangements to move me to another room in a matter of 5 mins, as the original room assigned had windows opened to face the wall of another building. That was fine as I had initially requested for a quiet room. She brought me to see another room with a view and asked if I will prefer that though it may be a little noisy as there are eateries below. Service level was fantastic! She also made arrangements for me by helping me to call up and made reservations at the nearby Massage Shop as she knew that I am not able to converse in Korean language. By the way, all the staff whom I came across, were able to speak good English, which is so assuring for a lone traveler like me. The Deluxe King room itself is large and clean. There were plenty of spaces for me to lay out the luggages nicely and all rooms in Hotel 28 Myeondong have complimentary minibars (what a nice treat!). I will certainly be back to this hotel during my next Seoul trip soon.

Ideal location near the hustle and bustle of Myeongdong”

Conveniently located behind IBIS Ambassador Myeongdong where the airport shuttle 6015 stops at is Hotel 28 which also is right opposite the fried chicken street in Myeongdong. Check in was at level 6 by a polite crew proficient in English and pretty much fuss-free. The twin room was spacious, with complimentary mini bar, Nespresso machine and capsules and tea satchets. The bathroom was segregated with a shower, bath tub and toilet and toiletries were also provided. I will definitely stay at Hotel 28 again if and when I revisit Seoul.

Fabulous stay!”

We made our booking after looking around for a more smoker friendly hotel. Hotel28 offers a smoking area within the hotel premises at the outdoor rooftop. Most hotels in Seoul do not offer smoking room anymore and not very smoker friendly on the street either. I have been to Seoul 10x and stayed in Myeongdong all the time. This is the 5th hotel I have stayed in Myeongdong and it is definitely one of my top choice in Myeongdong. The hotel is just 2 mins away from airport limo bus stop (at Ibis bus stop) and 3 mins away from Euljiro 1 subway. Lotte department store is just across the street, Myeongdong main shopping area is just a turn from the hotel. Plenty of food choices just a few steps away. We booked Deluxe Twin of 31 sq m, but the room feel not as large as we thought as the bathroom took up a lot of space with the bath tub in the centre. Mini bar is FREE! Beers, sodas, crackers are available in the mini bar. Also a Nespresso machine! The toiletries is awesome

Incredible Location, and amazing service from the staff at the hotel”

Newly opened hotel at the time of this review with an amazing location right in the heart of Myeongdong. Advantages: - Very clean and newly designed hotel. - Location - access to eateries opposite hotel front entrance (BHC and others), including the Myeongdong food carts and stalls - a 2 min walk away. - Access to main shopping laneways - 2 mins walk from the hotel. - Seoul Station to the hotel - 10 min taxi. - Room sizes were very adequate for a couple with 1-2 luggages each. - Service of all staff Disadvantages: - N/A Note: - One of our taxi driver's couldn't easily navigate to the hotel from the main road. - Special mention to the staff member who assisted us with booking a 5am taxi upon departure and located my personal items that were left behind and ensure they were delivered safely. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this hotel due to the locality, overall service and room amenity and spaciousness.

Exceptional”

Chanced upon this hotel while browsing for hotels in Myeongdong. And i’m so happy i found it! Pros: Location: 10/10 everything is within reach. Surrounded by restaurants (Din tai fung on the 2nd floor of the building, and lots of chicken and beer restaurants directly in front) and shops (ABCmart etc) in Myeongdong. Airport bus stop is very near hotel. Comfort/Room decor: 9/10 understated elegance. Design is on point with the hotel’s theme. Clean. Toilet same as Japan’s toilet (which is very nice). Aircon is very good. Comfortable bed. Room size is bigger compared to usual hotels in myeongdong. Facilities: 10/10 Has a Gym!!! Staff: 10/10 courteous, helpful and they speak eanglish (very helpful for tourists). Hotel 28 will always be our hotel in Myeongdong :)

Best location, kind staff and beautiful room ”

We had an amazing stay at Hotel 28. Location was superb, right at the heart of Myeong-dong but quiet enough that I felt safe with my family there. From the welcome to the farewell, the staff were kind and warm. They even had welcome gifts for the kids! Alvin and Hannah were especially nice and there was also a gentleman who walked us to the bus station and assisted us with our luggage. The room was great- modern, clean, good size and comfortable beds. Lots of good restaurants around and street food and shopping were 3 min away. I highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay here again next time.

FEEL AT HOME AT HOTEL 28 Myeongdong ”

When we planned our trip to Seoul Korea, I ran through the list of recommended hotels and I saw Hotel 28. We checked google maps, and found the location very interesting along with the reviews both in Agoda and tripadvisor. When we arrived at the hotel, the reviews really did DESCRIBE the hotel. I love the Modern Vintage theme of the hotel! =) I love the free mini bar! 1. The hotel gives you a general feeling of being at home, i love their beds, pillows, and the feel of the room. 2. Hotel Staff are always very helpful and courteous, they even provided us with a supply of mask daily, and they gave my daughters a pack of chocolates. 3. The location is perfect! within walking distance from the night market, Lotte Department Store, the subway stations. tons delicious food places to try, the best Korean barbecue (Park's Chicken Restaurant/BBQ/ Roast) is right in front of the hotel. I love everything about the hotel, and will definitely stay here again. =)

Great Hotel if you want to stay near Shopping area and tourist places”

Stayed in Hotel 28 for 8 days and will be checking out tomorrow(November 16). First, the location of this hotel is the best. It sits right in the middle of the busy Myeongdong shopping area. It is right in front of a lot of restaurants and bars, so for sure you will not have a hard time finding a good restaurant to dine in. Second, the hotel staffs are amazing. I don’t know their names but each and everyone of them are super helpful and nice(which I think is something normal with Korean people). Third - housekeeping is always spot on. I have nothing negative to say about the lady/ies that clean our room. I also commend the guard who is always ready and cheerful! I can see a few negative reviews about the noise. I stayed in the hotel for more than a week and my room is right in front of the busy street(restos) and I didn’t find it a hassle. We actually sleep with the window open despite the outside temp at 4-7C cause I want to feel the cold breeze. The ONLY thing I am not a big fan of is the bed. It’s on the firm side, but the super soft and fluffy comforter made up for it. Will definitely be back again next year!

Fantastic location, friendly and welcoming staff, beautiful room. Very luxurious.”

We had a one night stop of in South Korea on the way to Madrid and after a little research online I booked hotel 28. Being Australian with no Korean language skills and limited travel experience was a little nervous and had no idea where anything was as it was a 1st Visit. On the Hotel 28 website in stated it was close to the Myeongdong street markets which is what we wanted to explore. We checked in and the staff were so lovely. Probably the most welcoming staff I have ever encountered, the even walk you to the room and show you the amenities and had a couple of rather tasty beers free of charge chilled for us. The room itself was immaculate and well appointed with many little touches of luxury. When we went downstairs out of the hotel- wouldn’t you know it- we were smack bang in the middle of the street markets. We wandered for a few hours eating and admiring the sights and made our way back to the hotel. Our only regret is we only had one night! Fabulous and will stay again.

Good hotel with free mini bar”

The good Near Myeong-dong shopping street Beautiful and clean room Free mini bar All staff speaks English Bad Far from Myeong-dong Station (but its near Euljiro 1 Station so it was fine with me) No nearby parking facilities(?) A friend came to pick us up to send us to the airport but could not find any convenient parking. We rolled our luggage to myeongdong cathedral. (about 10mins walk) Overall still recommended

Superb Small Hotel -- Go For It!”

The location of Hotel 28 Myeong-dong could not be better. The staff was unfailingly polite and helpful. Rooms are small (standard ones anyway) but very well appointed. Price through Agoda of about one hundred fifty US per night seemed like quite a bargain. I'd definitely return.

This is an amazing hotel!”

This hotel is centrally located, in the middle of myeongdong where all the street food and endless shops is within a short walk. The rooms are well appointed, well deserving of their award for best small luxury hotel. The check in and check out process was done in less than 3 minutes, the housekeeping staff delivered the cleanest rooms everyday. The best part about this hotel is their people. On our vacation, we lost our camera in the taxi we rode in going to one of the palaces. The concierge of the hotel, located the taxi and brought back our camera. Thank you Nancy for your help, although our camera was old, it contained irreplaceable memories and photos. When we visit Seoul again, we will definitely stay at this hotel. Exceptional service, this is what a hotel should be!

Amazing hotel and stay! ”

Been staying at 5 different hotels in Seoul for the past 4 years, and Hotel 28 Myeongdong is definitely the best that I have stayed in so far. From the hotel location, to the room layout, and to the friendliness of the crew, everything is excellent. Special mention to Alvin and his team for providing such warm welcome and service throughout our stay.

Made our Korea trip a more enjoyable one”

I love staying at Hotel 28 myeongdong- hospitality is top notch, location perfect! amenities are modern . Would highly recommend this to anyone going to seoul and looking for a perfect place to stay. I always choose this whenever i go to Seoul, makes my stay there more comfortable and enjoyable.

Highly recommended - will 100% stay here again”

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel 28. The staff is extremely professional, friendly and helpful. The location is great. It is positioned slightly towards the end of the Myeongdong shopping area, which is perfect as it is slightly quieter compared to staying right in the middle of the hubbub. There are a lot of restaurants that are just across the hotel. The train station is about 5 minutes walk away, and the airport limousine bus stop is 3 minutes walk. The room is clean and decent sized. The beds were comfortable, they have Japanese toilets - which is always a plus, and a nice rain shower. I also really like that the mini bar is free of charge.

Exceptional Services”

We stayed 2 nights at Hotel 28 Myeongdong. It's a great base for shopping and dining as the hotel is surrounded by many shops and dining outlets. It's also a short walk from Euljiro 1-ga metro station. This is a small hotel but the rooms are big and comfortable. The mini bar is well-stocked and all items are provided free with daily re-stock. The mattress is very comfortable. The cons are: TV is too close to the bed and may be a hazard if you wake up in the night and walk too close to the wall. Also, there's not a lot of drawers to kept our clothes. Other than that, it's a perfect stay for us.

Best of the Best”

Deluxe room- 5 nights Very good location. Convenient. 10 min walk to Namdaemun. 8-10 min taxi ride to Dongdaemun. Staff were very helpful esp Alvin Yoo & all at reception. They speak very good English. Most willing to call us a taxi & make sure driver takes us to the right place. Very impressive. They also hv a laundry room on the 7th flr. Good space usage in the room & we could put 2 luggage w/out hvg to leave them on the floor like most hotels. Must watch the Cooking Nanta show when there. Theatre is just a minute walk away. Plenty of restaurants with a good variety. Aircon temp can be controlled in your room. Breakfast variety may be small but good enuf for me. They hv my favourite Korean porridge & special menu every morning. Staff here is most polite & service is good too! You will not regret booking this SLH in Seoul. A very big Thank you to all the staff at Hotel 28!!!

Exceptional”

Staying at room 502...there's no vkew at all except facing the wall of the neighboring building which is pretty close. All the rooms on the same side are like this. Rooms on the other side face the restaurants street. If view is not a concern, then location is unbeatable. Been to Seoul many times and this hotel is the best located considering the quality of service, cleanliness and price. Airport bus and subway are only within 3 min walk. Other then the hotel restaurant, the are many choices in myeongdong which open early and close late.

Great”

Pros: -Easy to find (Airport Bus 6015, hop off at Ibis Hotel) -Conveniently located. So many restos and shops downstairs but the crowd outside is not as wild as the other hotels in Myeongdong street -They give you discount coupons for all the shops and restos in their building. -Comfortable beds -Surprisingly quiet at night even if our 5/F room was facing the restos. Rested well. -Quick room service -Free mini bar -Modern interior, classy design -We still had control over airconditioning which was good as we stayed in another hotel during the same period 2 yrs ago but airconditioning was centralized as it was Spring -Front desk staff are good in English, very courteous to guests Guess this will be our go-to hotel whenever we’re in Seoul. Hope the service level and facilities will remain the same!
