One of the best hotels & locations in Myeongdong”
I recently had a wonderful stay at Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong. I would not hesitate to book the same hotel the next time I head back to Seoul. Hotel was easy to locate and accessible from subway station and airport limousine bus stop. I love everything about the room, even the bathroom too! So clean and hygienic, definitely a plus point for me. The staff are helpful and polite. When I called the front desk to borrow an ironing board and iron, they came within minutes. Truly a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it as the hotel is in the middle of the shopping haven of Myeongdong. Plenty of street food, cafes and even nearby to a halal Korean restaurant too!
Please allow me to thank you for choosing Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong! We appreciate your valuable comments. It is always a pleasure to hear that our guest enjoyed their stay. We're especially glad that you found our location and hotel amenities satisfactory and convenient! Your personal satisfaction at Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is our foremost priority. We certainly hope to see you again in the near future. Warmest regards, Front office YS YOO
Amazing Location”
Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong exceeded my expectations. If you are after somewhere that has a great location this is the place to stay. The room was clean and has all the hotel necessities. The staff were extremely helpful and were able to direct us to where we wanted to visit during our stay in Seoul. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are after a holiday that consists of mainly shopping and eating. Will definitely stay here again.
Dear Aleli Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay. I am delighted that overall you enjoyed your visit bit I have shared your feedback with our Housekeeping team to review your comments. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards, Lee nahye
Great hotel in excellent location”
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.
Dear Rachel Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We were absolutely delighted to welcome you back and I am thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. I am very proud of my team and looking forward to sharing your wonderful feedback. We all hope to welcome you back many more times. Warmest regards Front office- Lee nahye
Comfort, quality, superb location”
If you’ve decided to stay in Myeongdong, Solaria is right smack in the middle of the action. And it’s just 3, 4 minutes' walk to Myeongdong subway and the airport limousine bus stop. Top-notice quality and comfort. Plus everything is still new and clean as the hotel is only a little over a year old. The room hallway is longish, so the bed area becomes a bit small. We had to move the chairs around to fit our two large suitcases. But overall still a rather decent size. Loved that there was a small window we could open for fresh air. Our room was on the ninth floor facing the shopping street, but we never heard a thing. The bed and pillows were fine, the quilt was super comfortable. Separate toilet with a mini wash basin. The bathroom was roomy and had both a bathtub and a shower. Tea and coffee, pyjamas (sort of a long cotton shirt), toiletries, hairdryer, slippers all provided. Staff were helpful and efficient and excellent English spoken. Definitely recommended.
Dear Janet Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to write about your experience It was a pleasure looking after you and we appreciate all your comments. We look forward to your next stay. Many thanks, Front office - Lee nahye
Hotel is reliable and well maintained ”
I’ve returned to Solaria on numerous occasions and it has never let me down. Despite having been around for several years, the hotel is still v well maintained and clean and not rundown at all. Staff is polite and helpful as usual. Location is fantastic right in heart of myeongdong and generally near and central to most locations in Seoul such as Hongdae / Garosugil/ Gangnam and very near to dongdaemun. Always a pleasant stay.

Excellent hotel in the heart of myeongdong”
Solaria is highly recommended for anyone who likes the convenience of staying in Myeongdong. The hotel was newly opened in September 2015 but had no teething issues whatsoever and we experienced a seamless and smooth stay throughout the 9 nights. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, plenty of space for wardrobe, high quality finishes for the toilet and furniture and the standards of housekeeping was excellent. The little details also make the hotel more special like fabric spray was provided, ample number of hangers (unlike in most hotels), full set of toiletries and bathroom amenities, plenty of towels. Overall, a thoroughly pleasant stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

Superb Location ”

Exceptional”
I don't usually write reviews but this is the best place I have stayed in Seoul so far (and I've been to Seoul several times already). The room is very clean and well equipped. Well furnished and very modern. The location is ideal for those who enjoy shopping and eating. Very convenient because it's right in Myeongdong. The hotel got my booking wrong (I booked for 2 nights but told me I booked for 3 when we arrive); however, everything was resolve immediately when I show them my booking email from Agoda. Will definitely stay here again.

Clean & beautiful new hotel”
The hotel was just opened in Aug 2015. Of course the room is spotless. Daily the chambermaid did a fantastic job too. Now, we really enjoyed the high tech room with it's $10,000K high tech TOTO toilet bowl. Automated toilet cover open as u walk near and automated flushing system. The deep tub is good for a relaxing soak after a whole day of touring. Just remember to bring ur own bubble bath as the hotel only provides shower gel. Bed was comfortable. Location wise, it's just above the happening Myeongdong street. Subway is just a few mins walk to Myeongdong station Exit 8. Will return to the hotel again when in Seoul 👍🏼

good location, strong wifi, clean and comfort room”
From Incheon Airport, you may take 6001 or 6015 bus to Myeongdong Station. After drop at Myeongdong Station, turn right and you will see a bakery shop on your right, walk straight for 5 minutes and you will see the hotel on your left side. Bed is comfort, wash room is attach with the bath tub is awesome. As the hotel is located on the Myeongdong Shopping Street, cosmetic shops are just few step distance from the hotel. I personally strongly recommend this hotel to those visiting Seoul for shopping purposes.

Best Hotel in Myeongdong”
We stayed for 7 nights and our stay have been amazingly pleasant. First off, it is just a 5 minute walk away from the nearest Metro station, right in the heart of Myeongdong's busy shopping district. The room we stayed was clean, staff have been amazingly nice and responsive to our needs. Our stay have made our 1st trip to Korea a memorable one and we will definitely plan to stay at Solaria Hotel the next time we visit Seoul. Thank you for your amazing hospitality.

10/10 Exceptional Stay”
Nothing to complaint about, and I meant it seriously! :) And I am going to talk about what is so good about it: a) Airport bus 6015 is just 100m in front, less than 5mins walk, trust me, no big deal with luggages (and you don't need taxi) b) Clean, clean, clean and modern new hotel c) Living in Myeongdong shopping street - food, shop, everything. Happening place. d) Subway exit 8 is nearest, to connect you to major places e) Size of room is above average size of Seoul hotels, and bathroom with everything you need Surely gonna recommend to friends, and will stay here in future.

Best location ”
This is my 2nd time staying in Solaria. Very good location, near subway, airport bus stop, easy to locate, in the heart of Myeongdong. Hotel don't have facilities but very clean, staff able to speak English. During my stay, in the evening, the hair dryer got cranky, called the concierge, they attended & changed for me within 5 minutes. Will stay again next time when I'm in Seoul again.

Excellent”
Excellent location in the middle of Myeongdong. Shopping and dining is everywhere! Just a few minutes walk to the train station. If you are taking a bus from the airport, there is a direct bus to Myeongdong and the stop is a 5 mins to the hotel. If you are taking a taxi, just take note that the taxi may not be able to stop right in front of the hotel. They can drop you nearby which is just a few minutes walk. Room is comfortable and clean. This is my 2nd time staying at this hotel and will continue to do so whenever I visit Seoul.

Stayed for 6 nights from 01/11/17 to 07/11/17. Just 5 mins walk from Myeongdong Station Exit 8. Right at the heart of Myeongdong shopping area with lots of restaurants and eateries nearby. The acoustic of the room is perfect where you can sleep very soundly till next day. The room is big enough for two large luggages. Room is clean with good housekeeping everyday. Will definitely stay in this hotel again for our next visit of Seoul.
