Hotel is located in possibly the best place for tourists who want to experience everything Seoul has to offer. Room was pretty clean, except for some hard reaching places, service was really good and all the staff was very friendly. Gym and the cage on the first floor were very good

Def going back to this hotel! Perfect location! Very accessible! Right beside myeongdong shopping street, at the building’s ground floor there are convenient stores, a lululemon, and an olive young. It’s also right across the lotte dept store, also very close to subway and bus stops including the airport bus. The reception staff are friendly and can communicate well in english. They can even lend you an adaptor for your electronic devices, and you can leave your luggages at the lobby if you ever arrive/ check out early. most of all the rooms were clean and spacious!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They spoke English well and were always ready to assist with directions or recommendations for nearby attractions.

The staff were attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable stay. We’ll definitely choose this place again on our next trip!

This is a fabulous accommodation in Seoul. It is only 1 subway stop from Myeondong but is very walkable too (10 mins max). It is literally above the Chungmuro subway station exit 5. How convenient can that be? Also 2 mins fm the airport limo stop! Bliss! The unit is well equipped with a washer/dryer (best quality). Also has a hob and microwave for simple cooking! The fridge is super huge. Only slight complaint is the size but this us Seoul after all! We took a family sized room (for 3 pax) which is more comfortable for 2 pax. Free water and towels everyday. Although we were told by reception, housekeeping only done every 3 days of stay, we were pleasantly surprised they cleaned daily. Love the digital lock (password) system so not confined to keys.
Must mention that this accommodation provides breakfast (a nice surprise as most of such apartment style units do no hv b/f). What I want to say is the breakfast was excellent! Value for money at 13,000 won per pax, buffet style. Western & Korean mix and way enough to eat! Simple but delicious! I wld suggest booking without b/f but walk in as and when you feel like treating yourself to a nice but cheap b/f. After eating out in Seoul a few days, you will realise the b/f is really good value!

KKenny2024.10.08
My husband and I booked this hotel on a day we checked in cause of the previous hotel we booked was horrible. Skypark hotel reviewed and confirmed my booking very quickly.
The first thing I’ve noticed that it’s super clean. The room isn’t big, but enough for two adults with 2 suitcases. We had a lovely room keeper who cleaned the room every day. You can find everything you need in the room, except for a toothbrush. However, you can go to the check-in desk and buy one there. They sell other items too.
Also, one of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location. Close to two subway stations and a couple of bus stations. Around you can find multiple convenient stores, coffee places, restaurants and so on.
We truly loved our stay. Thanks!

AAnonymous User2025.01.18
Got a room from the residence tower. The room was nice and spacious, and the bathroom was huge. Came with a kitchenette and washing machine in the room. Walking distance to dongdaemun night market, plenty of food choices nearby within 10mins walk. There’s a small convenience store around the corner. Towels smelt of bleach, but otherwise, they were always clean! The hotel was by a main road, and it was easy for cabs and a private drop off at the back of the hotel for a longer wait. The lady behind the counter at the cafe located on Level 1, she seems to be dreaming most of the time. Had to keep repeating myself for her to get the message. Room was 72x, she couldn’t find the number in the system despite asking us for it for 3 times. We had to write it down, and she still read it as 32x. 🙂↕️ had to correct her a couple of times that’s it’s SEVEN TWO x. Overall, great stay!

The place is good to go somewhere
But only for shopping and sleep
If you want to heat some food,or some other drinks
They don’t have microwave and the fridge space is too small
Shower room is too small that I can’t put the clothes
But the ppl is really friendly for service

Local Stitch Creator Town Seogyo Review
Local Stitch Creator Town Seogyo offers a great balance between convenience and functionality, making it an ideal choice for digital nomads, creatives, and long-term travelers. While it excels in location and amenities, the rooms themselves are quite basic.
Pros:
✔️ Prime Location – Situated in Seogyo, it’s close to trendy cafes, restaurants, and public transport.
✔️ Great Amenities – The co-working spaces, communal areas, and shared facilities cater well to remote workers and creatives.
✔️ Minimalist & Functional – The design is simple and modern, with a focus on practicality.
Cons:
❌ Basic Rooms – The rooms are minimal to the point of feeling a bit underwhelming, lacking warmth or extra comfort.
❌ Not a Traditional Hotel Experience – More suited for long-term stays or those comfortable with a co-living concept rather than luxury travelers.
Final Verdict:
Local Stitch Creator Town Seogyo is a great option for those who prioritize location and amenities over luxury. It’s a well-thought-out space for remote workers and creatives, but if you’re looking for a cozy or premium hotel experience, the basic rooms might disappoint.

Outstanding
MMui Huang**Hotel Review: Le Méridien Seoul, Myeongdong (Stay: 5 Nov - 9 Nov)**
I recently stayed at Le Méridien Seoul, Myeongdong, from November 5th to November 9th, and it was an excellent experience. We booked two double rooms and one king room for our group, and I’m happy to share our thoughts on the stay.
### Location: 5/5
The location of Le Méridien is one of its best features. Situated in the heart of Myeongdong, the hotel is surrounded by a vibrant neighborhood full of shopping, restaurants, and street food vendors. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring Seoul, whether you’re shopping in Myeongdong, visiting nearby attractions like Namsan Seoul Tower, or using the subway to access other parts of the city. The area feels lively yet is still a comfortable place to relax in the evenings.
### Rooms: 5/5
We were all very impressed with the rooms. The double rooms were spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of room to move around even with luggage. The king room was especially luxurious, with a large, comfortable bed and a modern, elegant design. All rooms were spotlessly clean and well-maintained throughout our stay. The amenities provided were top-notch, including high-quality toiletries and a well-stocked minibar.
### Perks: 4.5/5
A nice touch was the free drinks offered to Marriott members. It was a great perk after a long day of sightseeing—perfect for relaxing in the hotel’s chic lounge area. Whether it was a cocktail or a refreshing juice, this little extra made our stay feel even more special.
### Service: 4.5/5
The staff were friendly and professional, making check-in and check-out seamless. They were also attentive when we had inquiries or needed assistance with directions or transportation. Service overall was efficient, with staff always available to help with any requests.
### Facilities: 4.5/5
Le Méridien has a variety of amenities, including a fitness center and an elegant dining area. We didn’t spend too much time at the hotel, but it was reassuring to know that there were several high-end options available for meals or relaxation in the evenings. The hotel’s interior is modern and stylish, with a very welcoming atmosphere.
### Overall Impression: 5/5
Our stay at Le Méridien Seoul, Myeongdong, was fantastic. The hotel’s location in the bustling Myeongdong area made it perfect for exploring, while the spacious, clean rooms and thoughtful perks like the free drinks for Marriott members added extra value. The service was friendly and professional, and we felt well taken care of during our time there. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul and would absolutely stay here again. It’s a great choice for both business and leisure travelers.
JJennieThe room is clean and spacious. The location is superb where all the shops are just downstairs and opposite hotel is the Michelin guide noodles shop. There is also a coin laundry area where we wash our clothes during our stay. Despite car can’t drive in as it’s located in Myeongdong shopping street, it’s just a 5 mins walk away from the main street. We will definitely stay in this hotel when go Seoul again.
GGuest UserThe hotel is very new and clean, located near the the metro train station, especially the airport line, which is so convenient to commute between the airport.
The buffet breakfast is included, which should have nothing to complain, although the variety is limited and would be nice to see some Korean style breakfast.
Would consider this hotel for our next trip back to Korea.
AAnonymous UserLocation is more suitable for business travellers who want to work & commute in financial district, otherwise there’s not much to do in this whole area as it’s very hard to find a decent or simple eatery which opens near late night compared to living in Dongdaemun and Gangnam. Our room is located high and we can have a glance of the nearby buildings and overlooked further. They don’t provide full amenities compared to 2 other 5-stars hotels we had stayed in during this trip. So prep yourself with our necessary amenities like earbuds, combs, earplugs, sewing kits if needed in any case..
The hotel room is quite spacious and toilet is equipped with a bathtub which we didn’t get to utilise at all but my child had once because she wanted to play a bath bomb for 10 mins. Other items like ironing board, iron, Nespresso coffee machine, distilled water bottles, beverages and condiments, safe box, fridge were all provided.
And I find it quite troubling as there were too many ‘big-country’ tourists either staying in the hotel or those living in Seoul going to the Hyundai Seoul mall to buy luxury goods. And the entire mall is crazily flooded and packed with youngsters on the day of our check-in and the next day. Some came to window-shop while most others came in for food and perhaps after meals, to seek shelter and shield from the cold. You won’t be believed this you can’t even find a place to eat as all fast food eateries, snacks counters and restaurants were fully unavailable. There were basically long queues everywhere you go. Ended up my super famished poor child had to walk a long way with us & venture out in the cold to find any available restaurant to have our dinner.
International breakfast is served daily at L5 and the buffet spread is limited compared to the one we stayed & had in Dongdaemun. We had to pay additional 55,000KRW (SGD55) per day for our young child to dine in with us as her breakfast was not included in our accommodation package. I think it’s really too expensive and given that we always came down only at 9.30am and the breakfast stopped at 10am sharp. The food she always had was a small bowl of cereal, 4 small bite-sized hash-browns and a glass of milk only where she had to eat fast within 30mins before they closed for the day. For such price paid, it’s totally not worth it and we can’t avoid paying lesser despite they knew we only had 30 mins left to dine.
Overall the concierge service crews’ attitude and professionalism were excellent and Fairmont had the best staffs with great service i encountered during our 3 weeks stay across 3 different 5-stars hotels. I wished I will have another chance to stay here again but the price for each night is SGD450++, which is really expensive.
GGuest UserWonderful experience!
Comfortable stay, the room was neat and tidy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive.
One of the highlights of this hotel is its fantastic surrounding facilities. There's a CU right next to the hotel lobby, Also, the Hyundai department store is right in the same building is a great bonus for shopping. Plus, the Doota mall behind the hotel, providing even more options for late-night shopping until 12am!
AAmos KohPros:
- 5min walk from train station (exit 8)
- OliveYoung & Daiso is just a few minutes away
- Pharmacies & convenience stores are a few steps away from the hotel
- It is very near a popular shopping street
- Buses near the hotel can get you to several key places
- Staff are friendly and can understand a little English
- Free skincare samples from Dear Klair’s at the reception
- Washer + Dryer & Microwave on L2
Cons:
- It is an upslope from the train station exit
- only 1 pair of washer+dryer so you might need to queue up for a while to use it
- reception is at B1 instead of L1 (a little confusing)
- toothbrush and toothpaste are NOT provided
AaNNa SKLExperience Service Facilities We can leave our luggage at the lobby since we arrive early before the check-in time. The check-in process is very smooth, provided with the booking confirmation and passport verification. The location is very strategic and accessible to many POIs. They change the towels, replenish the toiletries, make up the bed, clean up the trash bin, and provide the free 2 drinking water bottles every day. The conditions in the room are good, and the lighting and temperatures are satisfactory. Since we checked out very early, we can just leave the room card keys at the front office counter at the lobby floor.
CChristian ItalyWe arrived early and we could drop our luggages in the corridor. We booked a twin room and were surprisingly upgraded to a bigger room with more beds.
The room was big and the toilet as well! Conveniently close to 2 metro lines, line 2 on one side and line 7 on the other side, and many bus stops.
The only cons I can think of are the small towels provided (like in most of the places in South Korea) and the heating that was not strong enough considering the cold temperatures outside.
AAnonymous UserThe service from the receptionist was amazing, they can speak english and nihon too. The location is strategic, from Chungmuro station just walk straight to reach the hotel, but if you have huge luggages just walk out from the exit opposite to exit 8 because it has escalator while exit8 only stairs, then just cross the road to reach the hotel.
The room was clean with enough amenities. I forgot to take the picture inside our room as we were too tired and we only stayed for a night.
But the view was worth it and the room was enough for 3 adults.
However one thing lacking was the heater inside the room especially during winter, we struggled to switch it on and just let the floor heating up instead of the whole room. And the washing machine cannot be used.
Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay.
