We enjoyed the central location in myeongdong, at the doorstep opposite Michelin restaurant, kyoja myeongdong main restaurant, Isaac Toast & Coffee Myeongdong Cathedral a must try restaurant. Olive young store and myeongdong night market and HBAF stores is but less than a few minutes away too. Myeongdong station is 3 streets away right in heart of Myeongdong. At first we too was a bit concerned taxi can't come near enough in 1000-2300 hrs due pedestrian friendly street. However our taxi was still able to drop us of i think 3 side streets away, still manageable distance. On day we leaving we had a jumbo cab come up hotel entrance at 7+am, no problem. We went eating / shopping and came back to poop and left shopping bags, before we went out again, so convenient. That was unlike when we walk until our legs nearly gave way and aching, lotte hotel 15 mins awayAnother point worrying might be noise, but however throughout stay at 8th floor i did not even hear a single sound from pedestrian traffic / shops below. Construction noise nope too, should have finished. The pillows in hotel is one hard, one soft but it is just right combination if you put hard pillow below and sleep on soft one. You can also request for extra pillow too which we did too to make it extra comfortable.The view from lobby on 22nd floor was superb, foreign exchange atm at lobby and toothpaste/toothbrush machine too convenient. The room was well kept, although they mention alternate day cleaning, we still ask for it daily and got our rooms cleaned (just need to remember press for housecleaning at your desk, before you leave for your excursion in morning). Else towel will be exchanged daily. One disappointing thing there is no international plug, had to use adapter we brought from Singapore and charge limited items at once at night.There is also separate bathtub, and toilet so 2 persons can do their separate business at same time, without smelling poop smell.. hee. There is a safe too in drawer, so can keep extra cashThe hotel staff was friendly, speak English and answer our queries, and help to book our jumbo cab back to Incheon airport.Overall, great hotel in central location in Myeongdong, quiet and clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back for future Seoul jaunts.

This is my favorite of all the hotels in Korea.Anyway, the location is great, and you can leave your shopping bags right away, and the bathroom has a bathtub, so you can warmly relax your legs and feet after walking.The toilet is equipped with a washlet, and the room is spacious, clean, and comfortable.The outlet is Japanese style, so you can use it as is.It's a 2-3 minute walk from Myeong-dong Station and the main street where buses run, so it's not a difficult distance at all.You can speak Japanese at the front desk. They are polite from start to finish.Please note that like other hotels in Korea, toothbrushes and razors are not included in the amenities.I wonder how often people who give bad reviews about this hotel usually stay at luxury hotels.

It's conveniently located in the downtown area of ​​Myeong-dong, and since it's a Japanese hotel, people can speak Japanese and it's very clean, making it a very safe hotel to stay in.In particular, there were only 4 rooms on the top floor, which had balconies overlooking the Myeong-dong cityscape, ceiling fans, and expensive air purifiers, making it a very comfortable space.Breakfast was a buffet style, and there was porridge that was unique to Korea, and the other dishes were different every morning, so I didn't get bored.This is a hotel I would like to stay at again and again.

Thank you for taking care of my daughter.This was my second time using the service, and I guess they had a history of it, as I was greeted politely, saying, ``This is my first time using the service.Thank you for your continued support.''Most of the staff can speak Japanese.Since I'm living overseas, I thought it was inevitable that I couldn't speak the language, but being able to speak the language gave me a different sense of security.The housekeeper also greeted us in Japanese.All signs in the room are written in Hangul, English, and Japanese.Housekeeping is provided once every two days, but towels, amenities, etc. are replenished every day, so there is no problem. This kind of response is increasing in both Japan and America, so we don't see any discomfort at all. By the way, if you ask, they will do it for you.There is a WOWPASS ticket machine in the lobby, which is convenient when traveling to Korea.Please charge your T-money at the front desk.It's conveniently located in the center of Myeong-dong, and the Japanese hospitality is high, so I'll definitely use this place again next time.thank you very much.
