Great hotel! Great customer service!”

I love Hotel New Oriental Myeondong! Great location because it is right across Myeongdong. It is also very near transportation stops (airport, bus and train) so it won't be a problem if you are carrying heavy luggages. The area is very safe as well. The facilities are great and clean. I especially love the rooftop as it gives you a beautiful view of Namsan Tower and you can see the cable car moving as well. I like that they have laundry and dryer machines, very convenient. This hotel provided great customer service. I am travelling with my senior age parents and we arrived very early, I requested if we can check in early so my parents can rest after a very long airplane ride, and they did allowed us! Thank you very much. I also left a new bottle of perfume that was given to me by my sister and they have been very responsive to my emails. I was able to get it back. Thank you very much for making our stay in Seoul such a wonderful and hassle-free experience. Thank you and keep up the good work. We are planning to go back to Seoul next year and looking forward to staying at this hotel again. Thank you thank you!

Enjoyable stay!”

We are two families (each with 2 adults and 2 kids). We had booked two superior twin rooms for 5 nights. We enjoyed our stay there. Very good location as it's just 5 mins walk from myeongdong station. There's a convenience store along the way.. a Macdonald and some eatery shops as well. Can easily settle the breakfast every morning. The staffs at New Oriental Hotel are very helpful and friendly. They will try to answer to all our queries when needed. Although hotel is just opposite the Myeongdong street, it's not noisy and crowded at all. Always had some nice and peaceful rest through out all nights. We will definitely come back again to New Oriental Hotel in our future visit :)

Very Pleasant stay and satisfied”

1)Customer Service - I read about previous reviews on bad customer service. This is not True. Customer service is Good. Helpful staff and they great you every time you return the hotel. Answers your questions. Assist with leaving my luggage with them upon check out while we grab lunch before heading to airport. Generally all up to standard. Room service is done up to standard nothing fantastic, Amenities replenished. Generally all ok. Front desk staff speaks fairly good English. 2)Room - For a 3 star hotel and the price. It is up to standard. heater aircon works fine. hot water works fine(it might be a little sensitive so adjust the hot water bit by bit). Size of room for the price is of course not going to be spacious but it is up to standard and meets expectation. Go up to level 8 rooftop garden and you can get a good night view of the Namsan Cable Tower. 3)Location - Gives you the best of 3 worlds. it is just across the street of Myeongdong. Turn right and walk 30 metres to station, use the underpass and you will reach the heart of Myeongdong. come out from the hotel and turn left with 10mins walk and pass Shinsege, you will reach NamDaemun. walk up the slop behind the Hotel, 10mins walk you will reach Namsan Tower. Safe convenient location with a little privacy as it would not be noisy like the ones within the heart of shopping districts. We took the airport bus from Incheon airport and we stopped at just opposite the hotel. It is the location coupled with price and privacy and convenience to various location that really wows us over. 4)Safety - Safe deposit box provided. Door does not have peep holes. Day Time no issues. Probably at night, just only 1 staff manning the counter. the return walk to the hotel is generally safe since its located alongside the main road. Gives a general safe feeling. In conclusion, it's really good value for money.

Best Location & Helpful Staff”

The location is great, just go straight at exit 4 of Myeong-dong station and you will see it!! The staff are also very helpful and nice, special thanks to Jacob Bang at the Front Office, he was so patient to listen to my enquiry and helped us to check the information online!! All staff we met during our 5-night stay were friendly and cheerful,thank you for making a great stay experience for us!! Also, the room was so spacious and modern after the renovation, our room can also see the N Seoul Tower from the window, just 10 minutes walk to the cable car station and 3 minutes walk the Main Street of Myeong-dong!!!! Super convenient!!!! Will definitely come back to this hotel when I visit Seoul again!!

Extremely Ideal Locatioon”

First of, the location of this hotel is absolutely superb. Myeong-dong market, airport bus, and subway stations are only a two minute walk across the street! It's an ideal location for easy access to public transportation, cheap shopping and eating at the myeong-dong market, shopping for luxury items at the lotte department store across the street! The hotel itself is pretty modern, clean, and rooms were larger than what I had expected. Only complaint is how small the window was for the room. It was probably the smallest window I have ever seen for a room that advertised "city-view" but other than that it was great! Lots of room and storage area for all the shopping you do and the staff was extremely nice! Would stay here again 10/10!

Nice boutique hotel!”

Excellent location in Myeong-dong, easy access by public transportations and taxi. Our room on seventh floor was clean and small but fit for two, small shallow closet with only four hangers provided, water supply was hot and with good pressure, one odd thing at the front counter: fried chicken could be ordered from staff on the day we checked in but another staff said “no” on the day we checked out, made me wonder! Also answer was no when we asked the staff to call taxi for us to go to Seoul Station! Overall, it’s an excellent hotel in Seoul just to stay a few days and move on, I would recommend and come back, four and half stars!

This hotel has all that we need”

Pros: - The location is strategic, nearby Subway Line 4, Myeong-dong Street, Bus Station, Shopping Malls, Busan Jib & Kampungku (Halal Korean F&B) - They have coin laundry at the roof top, convenient for us who stayed more than 10 days - They have nice view from their roof top, enjoy the view at night - Cleanliness is superb, they clean your room every day - Staff is friendly also except one male staff at the counter, a bit arrogant (my sister experienced this) Cons: - Maybe if they have promotion price for their room, we will consider to stay at this hotel again Overall, we love this hotel!

Near to myeongdong and station”

Myeongdong is opposite of the hotel, so u can shop till late night easily or buy lots of stuff without worrying too much. It's very near to the station and easy to navigate. One more thing - very near to N Seoul Tower too!!! Great rooftop view of the Namson Tower from the hotel. Thumbs up!!! Staff are friendly, helpful and professional too, greeting u everytime u step into the lobby. Hotel room space is fine (: I'm missing korea ): haha, enjoy everyone!! CON: A little smell of cigarette during first nights shower. Maybe its passed from a smoking room? But other nights are fine already. Hmm, I find it a little cumbersome when travelling around though, as you have to change a bit of lines at interchange stations before reaching myeongdong (; but still ok

Incredibly pleasant experience”

My brother and I stayed at this hotel for over a week, and we can confidently say that our stay was ahead of our initial expectations. The environment was bright, clean, and professional; the staff despite not speaking perfect English, made a pretty admirable effort to fit our requests; the room although a tad cramped with two beds, was still incredibly decent for the price tag; a spacious bathroom that actually had strong water pressure, and an actual range of hot and cold water in the shower; the room's heater was more than sufficient to cover every corner of the room. There were several hiccups during our stay in the hotel, but the staff usually promptly, and professionally tried to remedy each situation. The air conditioning cum heating unit had its settings changed, and the phone line was disconnected twice after the cleaning service, but the front desk staff reset everything quickly, and had someone accompany us to our room to confirm that the issue had been resolved. Our mini-fridge stopped working, and we were immediately offered a room switch with no questions asked (we ultimately decided against it since the staff member offered to hold our dried fruits in the main staff fridge). Our only gripe was the lack of information to the guests when a water pipe burst along the street outside the hotel. The result was no water supply from ~10/11pm until 6am, and me finding out mid-shower was definitely unpleasant. More initiative taken to inform the guests vs. waiting for individual guests to enquire would've been appreciated. Despite the above, overall, my brother and I were pretty satisfied with the level of service, and will be more than happy to book another stay in this hotel. The location is quiet enough, but still near the heart of Myeongdong (~5 mins walk), and the price is very reasonable for the quality of rooms we were given. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and in the future!

Perfect!”

It was very comfortable staying at the Hotel New Oriental hotel. The hotel was very accessible and near at the famous Myeongdong shopping area. Amenities and cleanliness are extraordinary. We are surprised that even a bath sponge is available not like other hotels. Staying here is a two thumbs up. We will definitely go back and stay again in this hotel to our next visit in South Korea. Thanks much! :)

Thumbs up!!”

Pros: 1. Great location - A street away from Myeongdong Shopping Street. - 5 mins walk from Myeongdong Stn Exit 4 or Exit 3 (with escalator) - walkable distance to places like namsan cable car centre, Lotte Duty Free (Main store). - Famous Isaac Toast is just opposite of the hotel. - 15 mins car ride to Seoul Station 2. Clean and big rooms - Room is clean and spacious (able to open 2 luggages for packing on the floor) - Toilet is spacious and clean, good water pressure as well! Cons: 1. Hotel Breakfast - Lacks of variety. Not worth the money.

Excellent location, clean and comfortable”

The location is excellent located at myeongdong station. It is at the quiet side of myeongdong, but just across the road is the main busy myeongdong street with all the food and shopping. Namsam tower is just behind the hotel and the roof garden has a nice view of seoul tower. Room is very clean. Toilet is very clean and nice as well. Staff were courteous and helpful. The only bad thing is that it can get pretty cold especially the toilet. Room heating is centralised and toilet has no heater/radiator.

5 out of 5!”

Will definitely come back to stay the next time I am in Seoul, if the price stays the same. Excellent location right opposite the all important Myeongdong shopping area where all the shopping can be covered. Near to subway exits (with escalators!!!), walking distance to airport buses drop off/pick up point (we are 2 ladies with 3 large luggages and we got along fine), late night eateries around and if you take tours to Everland or Nami Island etc, the pickup point is also nearby! Staff, housekeeping included are polite and made our stay a pleasant one. A modest hotel with a decent room size, one that I will gladly recommend.

Simple elegance in a central location ”

Ease of walking all around the city centre of Seoul. Myeongdong subway is just a 3 mins walk. Myeongdong is just across the road. I was able to walk from Myeongdong to Namdaemun, Gyeongbokgung, Cheonggyecheon Stream, and to Insa-dong. Just a short 10 mins walk to the cable car to Namsan Seoul Tower to watch the sunset and a stroll down alongside the city wall with a great view of the city lights. Hotel staff are kind, polite & helpful. Rooms seem new and zen. There is a small window and view of N Seoul Tower from my room. Sachet coffee by Cafe Bene is provided in-room and there is a self coin operated laundry, dryer and detergent machine on the 8th floor roof top with a view of N Seoul Tower. There is a made in Korea bar soap, shower gel, shampoo, hair conditioner, flat comb, a packet with cotton wool, a hair band, cotton buds and a shower cap. Bring your own toothbrush and paste. If you have big luggage, you need to cross the road and walk 10 mins to/from the Airport Limo stop

great and quiet location from busy Myeongdong”

The hotel is situated opposite Myeongdong and it was a little troublesome to push my luggage and trying to find an easier way to cross the road (instead of underpass. luckily it was not very far fron traffic junction. check in was smooth and quick. room was clean and looking new. bed was comfortable and I could easily sleep on it. it comes with drawer safe, tea/coffee sachets, kettle, mini fridge and utensils/cups. bathroom was clean and smells great, some toiletries are also provided. me and friend certainly enjoyed our week long stay with the hotel. due to our late night flight, we paid half room-rate to extend our checkout time to 4pm. we could also leave our luggages behind the reception. we will definitely return to stay at this hotel again.

Hotel New Oriental is new, comfy, worth the money”

We have an enjoyable stay at this hotel. What I like :- 1) Brand New 2) walking distance to N Seoul Tower, Nandaemun market, Myeongdong shopping district 3) staff speaks good English 4) TV channels have more English TV channels (eg 3 TV channels. Metro Hotel only has 1 English channel) Shortcomings :- 1) room size is a tad small though it is god enough for 2 pax 2) the breakfast (though not expensive , only at KRW 9,900/pax) is not so yummy and selection is few

Simple hotel for 2”

If you are not looking at something too extravagant, just a resting place, then this hotel is good to go! It's pretty small but it is very comfortable. Would definitely recommend if you want to save on hotel, spend on shopping! This hotel is near Myeong-dong, literally 5 minutes walk away.

Excellent Service”

Stayed here for 7 nights during Nov 2016, this hotel is beyond expections. Location: Minutes walk to airport shuttle bus stop, Myeongdong shopping street, Namsan Cable Car Station. Few steps to 24-hr store, Subway station. Facilities/Cleaniless: Coin laundry is available at the rooftop. Room size is just right with spacious toilet. Small window can be opened for better ventilation. Overall clean and new. Staff: Front desk staff, Mr Shen Chuan has gone beyond the call of duty. He went out in the cold winter night to help our kids to buy food as delivery was unavailable. He gave good advice on the transport to save us lots of hassle. The hotel returned the money that was taken by mistake, no arguement. Staff with high integrity and great passion in service, one of the rare gem. Highly recommended!

Great location, Clean & comfy rooms, superb service”

We r based her during our stay in Seoul for over a week. Location is superb- near to several bus stand connected to everywhere in Seoul, Subway Line 4 is about 2-3 mins walk & just across the main road is the busy Myeongdong shopping districts & Shinsegae. The room we stayed in consider spacious, we can open 3 X28” luggage at the same time. Bed is comfy but pillows are at the soft side. The bathroom is very spacious & shower is amazing. The staffs are very helpful & friendly with good understanding of English. The best part is their roof top deck where a right on view of Namsan Tower. Will be back if I’m in Seoul again.

Great hotel near Myeongdong ”

The hotel is located opposite the busy Myeongdong, few minutes to Myeongdong Station. There is a Issac toast opposite the hotel. Hotel is clean and comfortable though different rooms has different sizes and configuration. I booked 3 twin rooms and the corner twin room is the largest of all. The other 2 rooms are compact but still spacious compared to those hotels inside Myeongdong. Check in and check out was easy and fast. The only complaint is that there is only 1 lift so during peak hours, may need to wait for a while.
