Great location, just around 2-3 minutes to the Metro station. Many bus routes almost reached every where in Seoul. Airport shuttle bus near by and it just takes over an hour to Incheon Airport. Very comfortable and cozy room. Many great restaurant around. Food street offers a great deal of delicious food. My first choice when I going to stay in Seoul. Thanks a lot ! All the best to Shilla Stay Hotel !

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong is the best hotel in Seoul because it's a new hotel with good room rate. Free in-room wifi. $10 (each trip)Limo bus #6015 to & from Incheon International airport. Do not forget to inform the 6015 bus driver to drop you in front of KEB(Korean Exchange Bank)Myeongdong, where the hotel is just located behind this building. Hotel Lotte is just situated cross the street and Myeongdong shopping is just in front of this hotel. Hotel provides maps and customer service could speak good English. Lots of good Korean Restaurants just in front of the hotel or within walking distance. Most of the scenic spots could be reached by underground train and the station entrance is in front of the hotel too. Do not forget to stay in this hotel when you travel in Seoul.

Losir is actually a famous hotel in Seoul , specially their gd location in Myeongdong. Less then a min to Sunway station , which is just right upper the train station(Myeongdong) exit number 6 , 2-3min to airport transport station . Staff speak well English , and they have spacious room compare with hotel around there , have been stayed in ibis myeongdong , SkyPark myeongdong, and realise losir have the most spacious room . Bathroom have bathtub some more , usually they are quite pricey , but lately their price is always cheap , and worth to pay ! Shop , eat , transportation is all on ur foot Step ! Will definitely come back again !

Overall it is a great hotel compare to its reasonable price. Nice staff , spacious and tidy room, comfy bed, great location-next to the subway station. But it was hard for a sound and deep sleep because of the constant noise from outside or from other rooms even though I wore ear plugs. I would stay here again if my budget is tight and want to stay at a clean and accessible hotel in Seoul.

TMark Grand Hotel is the best hotel to stay in Seoul! Guaranteed! Lots of facilities, staffs were so helpful and friendly! Upon arrival I was so impressed how they upgraded our room to family room that it got more spacious! Breakfast was also nice. Location is excellent especially for shoppers as the hotel is just opposite the Namdaemun Market and 10-15mins walk to Myeongdong Shopping Center. Subway is just beside the hotel. It so convenient to travel. There is Plenty of nearby awesome restaurants as well so you won't get hungry. I love how Koreans are genuinely and naturally kind hearted people. I would definitely come back to this hotel in Seoul again next time! Thanks a lot TMark Grand Hotel! You deserve a fantastic review! Cheers!

I stayed at the St. Regis in Bangkok a few weeks before staying at L7 in Seoul. Let's just say I wish my stay at the St. Regis had been as nice as my stay at L7. The hotel is modern and sleek without trying too hard. The staff was kind and accommodating. The room clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The rooftop terrace lounge hit all points one should. This will be my "go to" hotel in Seoul and I hope to find other properties from this brand. I can't say enough nice things about it and I think that should mean something b/c I didn't have any special request or need - it was purely an easy stay in a solid hotel that totally met my expectations. (And while you may want a hotel to exceed your expectations, the St. Regis in Bangkok set a new bar for me in that I simply want a hotel to meet my expectations.) I will stay at this hotel again, won't even look elsewhere.

We stayed here for 5 days. The best of all is the hotel allow us to early check in at about 8am after mid-night flight and the kids are really tired at the time arrival hotel. We have checked their early check-in policy which allows if rooms available but with charge before 9am. However, at time of check-in, the hotel staff is so kind to tell us that they can arrange early check in for free if we enroll the hotel membership. We are so lucky that they have room available at that time and I believe it is special arrangement for comforting their guest. We treasured much the hospitality showed by the hotel. Also, the hotel room is big enough with enough space for luggage and to walk around. The location is very convenient near the attractions of the Hongdae and only 5 minutes walk to the metro. There is a VR game center on that building which the kids enjoy very much. All in all, it is a very recommendable hotel in Seoul which I believe we would like to stay again.

We booked a standard room and it was clean and cosy with a nice sofa and dressing table. Considering majority of the hotels in Seoul are smaller in size, the standard room size is a good size to allow us to put 2 big luggages and still have space to walk within the room. Love the pantry on each floor which comes with free water refill, microwave and clothes’ steamer facilities. The free coffee at level 18 is very nice too but it ran out of creamer as the supplier has not replenished the stock on my last day before I check out and I had to drink without any creamer. Location is a mere 10 mins walk from Myeong Dong shopping street. There’s no lack of local Korean restaurants and coffee places opposite the hotel. A Convenience stall is just directly at level 1 of the hotel and you can easily grab a late supper if you are hungry in the middle of the night. The only down side is the hotel limousine bus does not stop directly in front of the hotel and the hotel does not provide the time schedule of the limousine bus 6015 in the event if you need to plan your time to the airport after check out. The journey is about an hour 45 mins. Would advise to take the timetable schedule at the airport when you arrive instead.

Tmark Hotel Myeongdong is such a new hotel that some taxi drivers had to check its location first before taking us there. For a reasonably priced hotel it just does not get any better than this one. The staff is always ready to help and attentive to our needs. They also promptly delivered our extra towels, pillows within minutes of our request. The room is just nice for the three of us and the bath tub in the room is a real bonus in winter time. But what is extra special about the hotel is its location. Just across the street from it are nice convenient shops, restuarants, and just all the different brand coffee cafes you can find in Seoul. About ten minutes straight wall from the hotel is Myeong Dong. It is also very close to the other night markets. We could not believe that it is easier to walk to Myeong Dong than to take the subway which is just one station away from it. Furthermore, the hotel does provide drop offs to various tourist spots as well. If you are singles or couples travelling alone without children, it is acutally also near to the bus stop that the airport to city bus express service. In the lift, we actually overhead that one of the staff at the service counter speaks 4 different languages.

Once again I decided to come back to this hotel for another 4 days stay. As my two months schedule in Seoul is unpredictable, I often book last minute or not exactly "far in advance". This is my 4th booking at this hotel in the past month. I keep coming back to the hotel because I feel my needs are being met; while being very comfortable staying here. I have stayed at a lot of hotels in Seoul and this just seems to seal the deal for me. I can almost match the comfort level of staying here to the comfort level of my own home; and that doesn't happen very often that I can say this. For a hotel, the service is amicable, and professional ranging from the bell boys, to front desk staff, to greeters and elevator staff, to cleaning ladies and shuttle bus drivers. The rooms are of a very good size and always clean. My requests are always being met without any questions. The free and fas wifi allows me to do my work at peace from the comfort of my room. I would recommend this hotel to all.

New hotel. Friendly and professional staff. Nice view from rooms and roof top. Rooms are spacious and the bath tub is nice. A short walk to the fun area of Hongdae with cafes and markets on way. Negatives: The toilet is not smart. Stayed at 4 hotels in Seoul and each hotel room had a toilet that flushed itself and kept the seat warm. Was a minor let down. Also, is non smoking in all rooms and rooftop. Major negative. Especially for the outdoor areas. I cannot comment on pool area as didn't visit due to the additional charge to use the pool (and too busy out shopping and exploring) but would be crazy if cannot smoke at pool either. Overall was one of my best stays in Seoul and would certainly stay again. The front desk was very welcoming and accommodating.

First, excellent location right at Myeongdong shopping area, few minutes walk from Myeongdong train station, exit 8, walked towards the direction of main shopping street, & Solaria is on your left hand side. The airport shuttle bus stops at exit 8 of Myeongdong station as well. I will strongly recommend taking shuttle bus costing 15,000 Won over the cheaper AREX option to avoid carrying the luggages up & down staircases which can add up to >100 steps. The service is excellent as this is Japanese owned hotel. My requests were met within 5 minutes. Many employees here speak Japanese. We asked for extra bottled waters everyday, and we got it everyday. The Double room is small but very well designed & fully maximised the space. It is unusual to have the toilet on one side of the walkway & the bathroom on the other side. The toilet is my favourite. Equipped with Toto Toilet Seat, the cover opens automatically when it sense movement. It is also warm & you can multiple options to wash & blow dry with warm air! There is even a good size bath tub despite the small room size. There were also many very thoughtful small features such as fresheners / spray for your clothes in the wardrobe, facial cleasing cream for woman. The pillows are the most comfortable I have had. I called up the staff to enquire where to buy it but was told it was specially custom made for the hotel. Overall, a wonderful stay and will definitely return if we are back in Seoul.

Oriens Hotel & Recidence ... Small hotel but with big + great + helpfully + kind staffs. Strategic Location, you can reach some of the tours destination only by walk, eg : Myeongdong streets like Harajuku in Tokyo but has the famous night market ... Namdaemoon - Korea traditional products market with cheapest price - compared with other place in Seoul ..... Cable car to reach Seoul Tower or they call N Tower. In This place you can find ❤ fences & tress locks & historical Korean patriot hall & Teddy bear museum .... Catholic Cathedral.... Korean house ... Korean street museum .... & many more .... All of are only by walk 👌. Close with : Bus stops : To go to airport or city tour or regional city bus destination .... 3 minutes Chungmuro train station ... 5 minutes Myeongdong train station ... 10 mnts Police station .... 2 minutes Hope 1 day ... I can go back to Seoul & stay at Oriens Hotel & Residence. God bless you all.

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

I had a wonderful 5-night stay in this hotel. It was my 4th time visiting Seoul, and this hotel is by far the best hotel I have stayed in. Location: Perfect! Subway stations, Myeongdong, Namdaemun, City Hall, Airport bus, huge dept stores are all within a short walking distance. Plenty of food options, coffee shops, 24-hr convenience shops in nearby area. I carried plenty of luggages, so I took taxi from Seoul station, it took me just 5 mins to reach the hotel and cost me only 4500 won. Room: Excellent! Very clean, great comfortable bed and bathroom is superb. Room view is excellent, too. Service: Receptionists and concierge are very polite and welcoming. They speak very good english and also very efficient. The housekeeping lady is also very nice and warm. They take extraordinary effort to ensure our stay was a memorable one. Facilities: Love their library so much. Very well decorated with a great view of Seoul skyscraper buildings. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better experience during my stay in this hotel. They did a really good job to ensure everything was flawless. And I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul.

As titled, good new hotel with a decent price tag. From Incheon airport, you may take a airport limo bus 6015 for 15K won per pax, get off at PJ Hotel and its a walking distance to Hotel. Love the innisfree toiletries, especially the green tea shampoo, but strange as I couldn't find the same shampoo from any shops in the city. If you come out of the hotel, there's a small police station opposite , and turning to your left you can walk towards either MyeongDong or Chungmuro station, depending on which direction you wish to take your train, both stations are within walking distance about 10mins and there's lots of nice small eateries around the vicinity of G2 Hotel, but only a few open late into the night. There's a G25 store near by open 24hrs, easy access to beers and So-ju. There's also a 24hrs eatery within walking distance, you'll just have to discover it yourself late at night, and there's no worries for safety because the vicinity is actually pretty safe compared to loiters at Seoul station. Love the breakfast, the fruit yogurt is the best and wish they'd give a bigger serving. Not buffet style but there are several choices so you can have different dish every morning, yet it is very filling to the tummy. There's a rooftop garden which we didn't get to enjoy until the last day as it was raining the entire time we're here, pretty bad choice to visit Seoul in July......sad.

stayed in double room a on the 12th floor of prince hotel (there are 13 floors), and was pleasantly surprised to find a king-sized bed (i'd expected perhaps a queen-sized bed or a uk-standard double bed). the room and bathroom were pretty small but adequate space to move around comfortably in the room as well as to set out two large luggage bags (well, if you're looking for a hotel smack centre of the shopping area, can't be expecting large rooms!), the furnishings and fittings looked modern and pleasing to the eye. from my room, we had a birds-eye view of the start of the main myeongdong shopping street -- and despite the hotel's proximity to the shopping area, we had uninterrupted sleep (didn't hear noise from the streets below). the mattress was comfortable (not like the hard-ish mattress i'd encountered at other hotels in seoul on previous trip). there seemed to be quite a few japanese travelers staying at this hotel. the concierge staff spoke good english, and were helpful in providing us directions.

Pros - soundproofing between rooms is very good, excellent location, staff is great (among the best in Seoul - I've stayed at 15+ hotels there), there is a high # of staff per guest, cleaning crews are excellent, rooms are reasonably good for sleeping (good curtains + dark + good pillows), A/C works well though it's loud on medium/high setting, you can go directly to your room floor from the ground level (though lobby is on 9F). Staff changed my room for me very efficiently and graciously on Day 2 after complaining of road noise on Day 1. Neutral - elevators are reasonably fast and only require long wait at peak time, there are only 2 coin washers so I had to walk to a nearby private coin laundry center. Cons - Wifi doesn't work well (bad range and also very unstable connection), gym is small/not that good (but there are several gyms in the immediate vicinity), some rooms have road noise, the rooms are a bit small, TV channel selection is bad (e.g. no NBA basketball on SpoTV 1/2).

We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Seoul. Almost everything you need is already provided here. Free shuttle bus to Myeongdong, Seoul station, dongdaemun. Food is about 2 minutes walking distance. Free refill drinking water. Convenience store is at level 14 of the hotel. Breakfast is great (not awesome though). Ah yes, remember to go to eat at the fish street somewhere here! Small street but crowded and very delicious! Highly recommended! Adios

Hotel room is clean, neat, well-facilitated and looks like what is shown on the pictures. The toilet & shower room is rather small but fits well enough for one pax. The reception/service of the staff is great and they do their best to make one feels comfortable and provide the information one needs to travel around when requested. They allowed me to have an early check-in and late check-out (latest 2pm) which I really appreciate due to my flight schedule. Locating the hotel for the first time can be a challenge as the airport bus does not stop exactly at Sinnonhyeon Station, the nearest subway station to the hotel. However, once one has located the hotel, everything falls in place. Hotel is located near the bustling stretch of road in Gangnam, with retail and food available. Note: Travelling time to the city (Seoul station, cityhall, myeongdong etc) will take ~30mins by subway.

Located near exit 3 & 4 of Dongmyo station, it’s behind a 24 hours restaurant, very easy to find. Room is comfortable with big window overlooking the city. Water heater n floor heating are working well n easy to control. Jeff is very kind and attentive, he recommended a few places n local eats to us. He even helped to keep our luggage for a few days when we’re travelling to another city. He made our stay feels like a 5 star hotel. Will recommend E7 to our friend and family. We will stay again if we visit Seoul :)

We enjoyed our 14 days stay in this hotel. The service, amenities, and most specially the location was perfect. The hotel is very near to Insadong, Myeongdong, Gwanghwamun Square. Also, Gangnam is only 10,000 won taxi ride, around 15-20 minutes only. Will definitely stay here again this December! However, the only bad thing about this hotel and for other hotels in Seoul is that the air-conditioning system is not opened during spring. And there are days when the temperature is warm. But luckily, the hotel provides an electric fan when requested.

I’m delighted to say that I’d had a brilliant experience with New Seoul Best Western Hotel during my short stay in Seoul purely for sightseeing purposes. The members of staff were helpful enough to attend to my queries on internet connection; directions for tourist hot spots; bus to airport and also booking a day trip (organised by a travel agent) through their phones. A member of the staff from the Front Office even offered me three hand plasters free of charge when I was out of them due to a slight burn on my fingers (injury attained outside hotel premises). My fingers are recovering well now! The hotel is located in the developed business district area of City Hall. You will see international business workers commuting around the area of the hotel. Most of the famous landmarks are within walking distance only, so you can navigate easily using the free map provided by the hotel lobby or the nearby Tourist Information Centre (do check with the hotel for specific directions within walking distance). Please remember to visit the fascinating Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Hanok Cultural Village to those of you who are keen photographers. To book lovers out there who might want to explore Korean / international titles, the Kyobo bookstore is also available within walking distance as well. The CD shop (‘HotTracks’) is located within the Kyobo bookstore for anyone interested in the Korean cultural music / K-pop. Internet connection was (thank God) complimentary and its speed rapid, thanks to the wired connection. TV channels are sufficient for my stay, and there are mostly Korean channels available. Overall, New Seoul Best Western is a good quality hotel with a reasonable price and friendly members of staff, who can converse in basic English. The location is perfect for any travellers who like to explore the city by walking or by train like I do. I’d highly recommend this place for a pleasant and memorable stay.

I have been to Seoul more than 30 times and usually book this place because of its location. It is right in front of Itaewon station, very convenient in city center, good access from airport and easy to move around. The room is clean and has free and fast Wifi. They used to have Korean Sauna at B1F but now the size is smaller, I still enjoy it though. Their staff is there 24/7 and helpful, they speak English and Japanese too. Money exchange is also available at the reception. One comment I should make is the noise from the neighbors, since Itaewon is a "night town" in Seoul, there are many people at clubs, pubs, etc. around this hotel and it could be loud (even in the hotel room) especially Friday and Saturday night. Single travelers or young couple should be fine but it might be not suitable for the family with young children. Also in summer they have small swimming pool at 5F and many, many people from outside of the hotel visit, so the elevator could be crowded sometimes.

This was my first trip to Seoul and the KY-Heritage made it even better. The hotel is new, modern and nicely appointed with everything you'll need. So many positives it's hard to list them all - staff is super responsive, breakfast is very good; the location is right on subway line 4 which makes it easy to get around the city; the airport limousine picks up right in front of the hotel; the bathroom is awesome; there were 110 and 220 outlets in our room; the views from our room and even the hallways were amazing; and it's located right in a mega shopping district and next to the Dongdaemun History & Culture Center. After long, full days of walking, shopping & sightseeing, this was an awesome place to come home to at night.

Hotel is best Breakfast is best Ventilation in room the best Lighting best Bed bathroom refrigerator iron coffee tea pot coat everything is best airport bus station - front of hotel city bus station - front of hotel Subway line 3 station - front of hotel Lotteria 24 hrs open - front of hotel 7/11 store - front of hotel City bus tour - 15 min walk Seoul and myong-dong and lotte world - by taxi just 3500/- Korean won. Best , economic and friendly hotel. I definitely recommend to everyone.
