Great Location (near Namdemun Market)”
You can visit the Namdaemun Market by walking about only 5-10 minutes. The room is clean although the building has old enough. We stay here for 3 nights and we've got the same breakfast everyday. The only one menu that changed was soup only.
The staff are friendly.
This hotel is near from City Hall Station.

Easy access. ”
Very close to City Hall metro station and airport bus station. Just 5-10 mins walk to MyeongDong Main Street. Lots of restaurant nearby. The room we booked is superior double room. Bed is big enough for two adults and comfortable. Room is a bit smaller than expectation. It claimed it has 26 square meters but it feels like only have 20, but still have enough spaces for opening two big luggages.
Strongly recommend to bring your own towel coz towels they provided have strong Fluoride smell.
Overall it is a great place to stay if u don't demand much.

Location good, near market and MRT , lot of restaurant surrounding.
Easy to find if you go to there by bus or MRT
Price is OK
Facilities are well equipped
Disadvantage :
Staff’s manner is not friendly
Room is not clean that I expected
Towel is not clean and have a hole and tear
Towel is not replace
Staff cannot speak English as well
Feel not welcomed when I enter to the door
General : if you are more expectation for the good hospitality , this hotel is not a good choice. If you are the one who just need bed and breakfast , this one is a good choice .

There is a sauna but no time to try.

Hotel is near the plaza hotel where you can ride the airport limousine. Our room is quite hot but staff was happy to transfer us to another room. Walking distance to shopping centers. With the price of this hotel in agoda, you can really get the value for money you are looking for. Room size is good enough as well. Will be staying here again next time!

Great location with spacious room!”
Hotel is a mere 5 minutes walk from City Hall Station (Exit 7) and about 5 - 10 minutes away to the heart of Myeondong, making it's location unbeatable.
Room is also very spacious with room to fit another kind sized bed with room to spare.
Counter staff were friendly and helpful and speak perfect English. Only slight complaint stems from the cleaning personnel who we found rather noisy in the mornings. Added to that, there was an incident when they left our windows open after cleaning, allowing mosquitoes to enter.
Overall, a great place to stay.

Near to myeongdong and the palaces”
The hotel is about 5mins away from Lotte Young Plaza and Lotte Department Store. Convenience store (7-11) is a minute away.
When coming from and going to the airport, best to ride the KAL limousine as the Plaza Hotel is less than a block away. We tried riding the Arex to get to the hotel, the walking and carrying heavy luggage up flights of stairs was not worth it!

Great location, friendly staff, value for money!”
Location was great. Alight at Cityhall station & choose either Exit 7 or 8. Both with a short walking distance to the hotel. Both exits had long steps of stairs, could be tiring for travelers with elderly and babies.
There are many food options right below/near the hotel, traditional pochangmaja, & 3 convenience stores in the area.
Hotel staff speaks good English & were very helpful.
Room was decent for the money we paid. A variety of tv channels to watch as well. Bathroom were clean but note that the bathroom door is abit transparent & without lock.
Myeongdong is actually walkable from hotel.
However, the hotel is near some public place so it does get a little noisy in the weekend mornings. (we stayed during late autumn so there was no air conditioning available. We had to open the window for cool air hence we could hear the noise easily)
Overall, this is a good choice of accommodation & I’ll return to stay again.
Place is easy to get to with direct airport bus too!

The hotel venue is strategic, City hall subway station just 5 mins walk from hotel. 10 minites walk to Myeongdong.
I will recommend this hotel too all traveller who travel to Seoul.

The only thing not satisfied is that we requested an early check-in and the hotel emailed us and said it is possible. However, on the day of arrival, the hotel staff seemed not knowing probably he was not the one who replied our email. Therefore, we were exhausted from the red-eye flight but were not able to check-in.
