Review: Convenient to go train station and airport bus stop is just 5mins walk. Room was big, bed was comfy. Comes with cozy pyjamas. Bath tub was nice, also comes with shampoo, soup, lotion, skin care solution which was a plus. Staffs was very nice and friendly. Highly recommended stay.nnThanks for such good memories. Will be back again 😊
Positive points: Location
Negative points: Breakfast option
Review: Room was run down, old with smell of urine. We could hear noises from the next room
Positive points: Buffet breakfast was excellent, lots of food variety to choose from.
Negative points: One of the rooms I booked has bathroom issues, bidet was not working all the time and shower head was not working. However the staff fixed the shower head when we reported it. Not all the staff are approachable and helpful.
Review: Hotel is located minutes from Namdaemun Market, which is just a stop from Myeongdong, as well as Lotte and Shinsegae department stores - shopping meccas for those interested in all things Korean.nnRoom-wise, it reminded me of those Japanese business hotels. We had pyjamas which was good. The window, a small piece of glass which was always covered with blinds, faces the back of the building. The toilet was big with a shower and bath combi, but the door was also the closet door so kind of weird. nnI mainly picked the hotel for its location as well as a small gym, which was adequate. Hence, I think it's value for money.
Positive points: Excellent
Negative points: Location
Review: C. S. Were extremely nice
Positive points: The location was excellent!- so convenient being close to both Namdaemun market and Myeongdong shopping district and famous night market with excellent food stalls. We didn't realize the Airport Limousine bus to Inchon was located a couple hundred metres just down the street. The room was not huge but not a bad size by Seoul standard. More importantly it was very very clean and with an awesome Japanese style bathroom complete with a wooden bathtub which we had requested at time of booking and didn't think we'd receive but our request was accommodated! I also had a jacket dry cleaned and although I was told it might take up to 3 days, I received it the same day - great service. We had booked without the breakfast included but ended up paying each morning to have the buffet as it was both convenient and included a wide array of Western and Korean options. The do-it-yourself croffles station was a big hit.
Negative points: I found the elevators could be slow and with so many guests we often had to wait awhile. Not a fault of the hotel but more a function of its popularity!
Positive points: Cute hotel very close to Myeongdong shopping area.
Negative points: Just felt a little dirty/run-down
Review: The room was dark and tired. It was mouldy and lots of marks and scratches on the wall. The air conditioner was very noisy , I could not sleep well at night because of that. There was no water , no fridge in the room . I had to go to the reception to ask for water. During check in , I requested a quiet room. But then I was allocated a room on the second floor right above the main entrance of the hotel which is facing the street. I asked to change to a quieter room, the receptionist said for the room category I booked for , which was Superior double, there would be on the second and third floor above the hotel entrance. He said if I wanted a quieter room , then I had to pay for another room category . After I saw the superior room , I honestly regreted booking this hotel! I would not want to pay more as the room was horrible !!!!!!!Anyways, at the end of the, the receptionist found a quieter room for me . But honestly the room was not nice at all. No black out curtain , lots of stains etc . I would not recommend anyone to stay here especially if you have to share the room . The toilet flushing was very very loud . It was a very disappointing stay . Positive things about this hotel are Check out was very speedy and the bed was comfortable.
Positive points: Central location, clean and quiet room, staff were very helpful - lending us an umbrella in the rain and delaying check-out, storage lockers onsite
Negative points: Pillows could've been more comfortable, filtered water refill station
Review: Our second time here Will consider again soon
Positive points: Good location, walking distance from rail station and City hall subway station. Major transport hubs nearby making reaching all parts of the city as well as airport convenient. Friendly staff. Room was decent - nothing to write home about, but perfectly ok for short stay
Negative points: No soundproofing, awkward room layout with uncomfortable and difficult to reach desk.
Review: Booked this hotel for 2 reasons: Line Friends themed room and close to airport limousine bus stop. Highly recommend! Adorable room, comfortable bed, small bathtub, great location!
Positive points: The size of the room was spacious. The design and layout even moreso. I was able to check-in early for a small fee. The staff was sweet and accommodating noting how tired I was from the travel to Seoul -even giving me skincare freebies to make me smile. There is always someone to greet guests and help with check-in and check-out. 1 convenient store within walking distance. And my favorite thing was the bathroom. It was unique and comfortable access. Within 10 minutes walking to Myeongdong Street. The lockers for guests are also convenient.
Negative points: Nothing comes to mind. Be careful to note that there is another Sotetsu hotel in Myeongdong and may confuse taxi drivers if you don't give the right address.
Review: Clean and comfortable
Positive points: Nothing
Negative points: Our room was not so clean. You can saw the marks of glasses in the bathroom, as well in the floor. It didn’t seem clean at all. I don’t think is worth the price. Too expensive for what it is.
Positive points: It was clean and staff was nice.nWhen you walk to the right from the main road there were lot of nice restaurants.
Negative points: The table in the room is too long, that’s good. But it is fixed to the floor. So some times it’s bit difficult to move across and I hit my feet few times 😬nnThe washroom curtains smelled very very bad.
