Best 4 star hotel I’ve stayed in Seoul”
It was my 2nd time in Seoul and I am glad and lucky to have booked Oriens Hotel Myeongdong because true to its Excellent review Oriens Hotel Myeongdong lived up to its expectations. Located from exit 4/7 of Chungmuro station this is the best wallet friendly yet with a touch of luxury you can get in Myeongdong. From exit 4 go straight and the fastest way to walk is to turn left from the police station as you go straight to your left is the side entrance. The lobby is huge and very modern. The carpet in 3f where we stay is a bit old. Our room is standard double room and it is spectacular. Fine comfortable huge double bed, wide selection of TV channels both local and western, very fast internet, complete toiletries and bottled water. Since its fall there is centralized airconditioning and heating. Dyson fan is there if you want more air. The toilet is huge with separate bath and toilet. The tub is a bit old but still clean. We really enjoyed our stay here and will be back again do try.

Great place and very accomodating staff”
My wife and I stayed for seven (7) nights and we find Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong exceeding our expections. Orien is located very near the subway and Myeongdong shopping areas, a few minutes walk to the N Tower ticketing office, Insadong, Kwangjang and Nandeamun markets. Nearby Eateries are also present. The Front Desk are all very accomodating and spoke English very well. The rooms are cleaned everyday including the replacement of new bathroom towels daily. Furthermore, the room size are very comfortable with full sized refrigerator, electric stove and kitchen utensils. My wife and I definitely would stay again at Oriens. Good job and more power to Oriens.

Nice and cosy hotel with cute kitchenette and separate room for kids”
It was a good choice choosing Oriens Hotel & Residences for our recent trip to Seoul. Although the hotel is kinda hidden, it is still within walking distance to Chungmuro and Myeon-dong subway stations. What we really love about the hotel is that it is nice, clean and cosy. Our boys had their own room, there’s a separate dining and living area plus a cute kitchenette where we can cook and do our laundry. There’s also a walk-in wardrobe! Special mention to the front desk manager, Mr Michaell Seon, who is very warm, friendly and pleasant to talk to. He speaks fluent English and is always there when we need assistance. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we will consider staying there when we go Seoul again.

Great hotel ”
I do love this hotel. I stayed 5 nights in this hotel, the location was oke, up to the hill and a bit difficult to find the hotel if you're the first time come to Seoul. From Incheon you can take airport bus no 6015 and 5-10minutes to get this hotel. Walking distance to Myeongdong shopping district. There are convenience stores, banks, cafes and restaurants nearby. Nearest metro station is Chungmuro, easy for you to go around the city and few buses straight to go N Seoul Tower, Namdaemon market. Hotel staff very helpful, they can speak good English. Nice accommodation for family, facilities inside the room allows you to cook. There's laundry coin as well. But they don't change bedsheets daily. Excellent overall and I will definitely come back again to Oriens in our next trip to Seoul.

Great place to stay”
Everything about Oriens was great. Big spaces, clean, friendly staffs. For location, eventhough Oriens in Myeongdong, Oriens location wasn't easy for taxi drivers to find this place. After three times tax drivers couldnt find Oriens, we asked to stop at Sejong hotel then we walk a bit. The other thing that I hope Oriens management can change is about staff's. Female staffs were very helpfull towards guests' luggages. However, male staffs were not helpfull. I travelled with my mom, my 2 kids and we have 4 big luggages and 3 small luggages. Eventhough the front desk staff saw us that we were struggling with our luggages, he had not show any initiative to help. It occured when we checked in as well. I hope male staffs can be more helpfull toward guests with luggages who travel with senior and young kids.

Complete Amenities, Near Train Station”
Location: First of all, if you are expecting Myeongdong shopping street to be right outside the hotel door, do not book this hotel. Please please do not believe the other reviews that it is near and walkable. Keep in mind that 5-10mins walk in Seoul is a lot of mileage already. Sure you can walk to Myeongdong Shopping Street but you'll be too exhausted to walk back. Having said that, it is near Chungmuro Station Exit 4 (Line 3) which is only one stop from Myeongdong (Line 4). If I'm not mistaken you could also take the bus but I wasn't able to try this option. Airport Bus: The airport bus stops near Chungmuro station (6001 me thinks). To go from here to Incheon Airport you can ride the 6001 or the 6015 across the street. Hotel Room/Amenities: The room itself is more than you could ask for given the rates from Agoda. It might be best enjoyed for those who would stay longer than 3 days. The deluxe double that we stayed in has a kitchen with a full sized refrigerator and double stove. Microwave was not provided but you could ask the receptionist to heat your food for you. Plates, glasses and mugs were provided but there were no forks, spoons or chopsticks. Restaurant/Stores: There is a GS25 & CU nearby. As well as a bakery across the street, Ediya Coffee & Paris Baguette are close as well. There is a Mr. Pizza & Popeyes nearby. There are Korean restaurants along the alley leading to the hotel. TV: There are English Channels available (around 2-3). PROTIP: In the alley after the police station, if you go left there and go straight you will see the Oriens Parking Lot. You can use the elevator to go up. Don't make the mistake of carrying your heavy luggage up the inclined road (towards Namsan Parking). Trust me, it wasn't pretty pulling two heavy bags up that road. -_-

Oriens exceeded our expectations!”
Excellent hotel overall. We booked a 2-bedroom suite for our 12-day winter holiday and it was the best decision that we stayed here! Personally, property cleanliness and its location makes it a winner. Front desk and staff were consistently polite and spoke very good English. They were prompt in attending to requests. Location was tops (it’s an 8-10 leisurely stroll to shopping paradise Myeongdong or there’s a station within a 4 minute walk that can take you anywhere)! Bus and airport limousine stop was within a short walking distance, too. Our suite was equipped with everything that we needed for the long haul. It was kept immaculately clean. Bathrooms could use some updating but it was all good. There are convenience stores, cafes, and several restaurants nearby. You’ll never go hungry. They offer daily buffet breakfast although we didn’t avail of that. I was told it’s about $10 per head. We’ll be sure to book at Oriens next time we visit Seoul again!

Value for money”
The experience I had in Oriens is awesome. Even my wife and son feels comfortable with the room and hotel environment. We stayed next to the lift lobby and laundry room (coin operated washer and dryer). No, it's not noisy at all and we feel the room have good insulation. The Hotel staff, Mr Dani Park helped me with some information to get around the area. Ms Sunny Park assisted me to print some important documents which I lost on flight. And thank you Mr Lee for arranging Airport Transfer service for my morning flight back home to Singapore. And YES, all their Front Desk staff speaks good English with good professionalism. We stayed for a week and we will definitely be back in Oriens next Spring for 2 weeks. Just to add on, we do not use Taxi services during out trip.. We get around Seoul taking Subway and Bus. Very convenient. Just take note to avoid peak hours. :-)

Suitable for families with young infants/toddlers”
We booked the one bedroom suite which provided ample space for our 13-month infant. Crib was provided on request. Comes with washer/dryer which was particularly handy. The hotel staff Michael was very helpful to book a taxi and provided timely assistance to retrieve a baggage that was left behind in the car. Myeong-dong shopping district was just literally a short walk from Oriens. Super affordable for the space and location, as a great alternative to hotels and hostels.

Great location with friendly front desk”
Overall, we are satisfied with Orien especially the front desk staff Michael if not mistaken. He is helpful, polite and friendly. He helps a lot to arrange the cab to our next destination as we do not have local simcard in Seoul and he help to solved the language barrier by contacting the host.The location is 15min away from myeongdong.For those who take the airport bus (6015 )or metro , pls make sure head up to look for the hotel direction board. Bus 6015 -take off at T hotel. Make a back turn to the NH bank in order to cross over road. Then continue walk 5 to 10mins...make a left turn...and go further u can see a k seoul guesthouse...walk straight and u will pass a small hut..then will a walkway at ur left...then climb up the walkway as it's bit curve..then orien hotel will at ur right hand side

Best place ever!!!!”
Decide to have a Seoul trip with my girl friends and we were looking for a place that is affordable but also spacious to fit four of us and some space for us to sit down and hand out. We were so lucky to find this place!! It had everything we could ever ask for. Huge space, enough beds for four adult ladies, two bath!!, kitchen, dining table and living room to hang out. Location was also great. It was about 10 min walk to myeong dong. Residence was super quite and probably we were the most noisy guests lol. We would definitely go back if we plan on a Seoul trip again. Thank you!!!

Very nice and lovely stay! ”
This was the third time stay at Oriens for the past 2 years and I still feel I make the correct choice in choosing this hotel in Seoul. Although they have reconfigure the room for the one bedroom suite I booked, it was still a very comfortable stay for me . They have changed the one bedroom suite that come with a walk-in wardrobe to two bedroom suite, so actually the one bedroom suite is smaller now. The location of the hotel is between Myeongdong and chungmuro station. Quiet but walking distance to all the shopping area. Already booked my next stay in Seoul for next month. Enjoy my stay here with the friendly staff!

Great for family with children”
The taxi driver had trouble finding the place, and had to stop and ask twice before finding the place (and charged us the full fare including the waiting time!) The 2-bedroom apartment is big, and quite clean; the kitchen has cookware, but no utensils. The water pressure is a bit weak, but nonetheless, it's a great stay for a family of four, especially for this price. It is actually quite close to Myeong-dong and Chungmuro stations, but just a little difficult to find. I suppose they have recently changed their names from Han Suites to Oriens Hotel. So no taxi driver we came across had heard of Oriens.

Impresive hotel”
I totally enjoyed my stay here at Oriens Hotel Myeongdong. I booked one bed room. Feel like home. Very cosy and comfortable. For 1st time to the hotel. you will need to take a taxi from myeongdong subway station to the hotel. About krw4000,If you have big heavy luggage with you. Once you locate the place. Its easy to walk around myeondong streets. You will sure love your stay there.

my 5th stay in this hotel”
Love the location of this hotel, had seen how the area around the hotel had evolved. There are more food options compared to 8 years ago. Hotel is located in between Myeongdong and Chungmuro stations. a short walk to Myeongdong for all the shopping and come back to the calm environment of the hotel. Response of staff is good. Had some issues with room wifi and was resolved in less than 1hr (with the Front office manager coming personally to assist with the issue. Looking forward to my 6th stay with Oriens!!!

Fantastic! Will definitely stay here again”
The rooms are huge for East Asia standards and quite a good value. Front desk staff are so nice and accommodating, helping me with some meds when I got the flu. Major tip is to read all the Agoda reviews. I took the 6015 airport bus from Incheon, from the bus stop crossed the street and walked towards the G25 convenience store, turn left at the alley corner where the police station is, and kept walking till I reached the parking garage of the hotel. There's a sign that it's the Oriens Hotel and there's no mistaking that's the mentioned garage, even at night as it's open 24/7. Not intimidating at all to find your way around town with this hotel as your base.

The location is safe, near shpg n eating plc.”
We've a wonderful stay in Oriens hotel for 5 nights. The staffs are english speaking, polite & good services. They always gave us a welcome smile when we approached them. The room is comfort, clean n welcoming aroma. We also use the inside room cooking facilities for simple cooking. Gym facility is also good. Best of all is self service laundry at 3rd floor. We were delighted to find our luggages which left at the concierge were in our room when we check in again after our Busan trip👍. We will stay Oriens again on our next visit😊.

Good place for families with toddlers”
For the price we got, it was a great place to stay in with toddlers. It was a bit hard to find at first, but its location is away from the bustle of Myeongdong yet near enough to walk to the place's attractions. We were just a few minutes walk from Chungmuro Subway Station. We appreciate the hospitability. When they saw we had a toddler with us the staff upgraded our room to a bigger room with a queen bed, single bed, dining area, and kitchenette (where we did a lot of cooking). We were right in front of their coin laundry service which was fantastic when I had to do laundry. We stayed in seoul for 6 days and Oriens was home away from home. The only down side was the room temp. It was 10 degrees C outside yet the room can get too warm (the heater was off). There was no air conditioner. With the window open, it wasnt too bad but it invited mosquitos that bit my son. Other than that, it was perfect for the trip.

Now the best hotel ever to stay”
Oriens hotel was a very convinient stay, in a good part of SEOUL, and close to the Myeongdong station. There was so much space in our room for us to spread out. Plus a vanity. I would stay here again.
