Hotels in Myeong-dong, Seoul

This hotel is beautiful. It was very clean and quiet outside, but closest to everything without being chaotic. It was so so clean and the room was big. The washer in the room is so convenient. It’s a little much to drag your luggage from check in to building B, but it’s still worth it. I’d definitely stay here again.

I've been to Seoul several times, and this trip I finally got to experience the Westin Josun. The airport bus goes directly to the hotel, and the service was impeccable from the moment I got off the bus until check-out. All the staff spoke excellent English and were proactive in helping with luggage, giving directions, and even making change. The location is also fantastic; I could walk to duty-free shops, Myeongdong, and other places. The nearby BBQ restaurants were also delicious. My only minor complaint is that you have to stand in the bathtub to shower.

Great value for money, unbeatable location – it's quiet despite being in a bustling area, and there's a 7-Eleven right across the street which is super convenient. They have a self-service laundry room downstairs for 5,000 KRW per use. Free ice and a microwave, plus a handy luggage scale. Check-in is self-service at the front desk with an easy-to-use machine that supports Chinese, English, and Japanese. Simple breakfast included. The bathroom is a wet/dry separation with a Japanese-style soaking tub. Free luggage storage and universal adapter loans are also available.

The front desk service was pretty mediocre and unwelcoming. When our driver helped us with our luggage, they just stood there. The location is good, but they charge extra for an additional blanket. Overall, it's still decent. We chose this place because there were six of us. It's lively downstairs but surprisingly not noisy. The BBQ fried chicken next door is delicious and highly recommended!

📍Exiting Chungmuro Station through Exit 5, the building is less than 100 meters away. Plus, there's a direct connection to the subway from B1, making it super easy to get around with large luggage! 🤣 What I loved most was the completely self-check-in process! Before arrival, the hotel sends you your room number, door code, and luggage storage code, so there's no need to go to the front desk. There's a luggage storage area on B1 where you just enter your code, store your bags, and you're free to go out and explore. The room was surprisingly spacious, perfectly fine for two people, and we could even open two 28-inch suitcases. It also had a washing machine, refrigerator, and basic kitchen utensils, so cooking instant noodles late at night was no problem at all! 🍜🤣 There's a convenience store downstairs, and an airport bus stop nearby, which was incredibly convenient for our return journey as we didn't have to drag our luggage onto the subway. The only minor drawback was that the elevators were very crowded at check-out time, and we had to wait for several before we could get on. However, check-out was also very simple; just scan a QR code and enter your room number, and you're done.

Originally, I booked a hotel in Gangnam, but considering factors like shopping and sightseeing, I decided to switch to Voco Myeongdong at the last minute. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. In terms of service, from the front desk reception to the lounge, the swimming pool, and breakfast, every staff member was smiling and dedicated to providing excellent service. It was really good. For dining, the breakfast selection was extensive and the food tasted great. Enjoying a hot bowl of Vietnamese pho in the morning was very comforting. The lounge also had a good selection; happy hour offered three hot dishes, along with cold platters, desserts, drinks, and alcoholic beverages, all of high quality. The room was also quite satisfactory. It was well-equipped with all sorts of amenities. The first round of the mini-bar was complimentary every day, and the quality was decent. The smart toilet and bathtub were very convenient. There were also USB and Type-C chargers. The only minor issues were that the USB charging port seemed to be of poor quality and often disconnected. The 0.8m bed was a bit narrow, and there was a slight risk of falling off when turning over. Also, upon check-in, there were two bottles of shampoo and one conditioner in the shower, and I had to inform the front desk to get a bottle of body wash sent up. Furthermore, the swimming pool closes quite early, at 8:00 PM. The location is truly excellent. There's a subway station and several bus stops right downstairs. From the lounge, you can directly see Namsan Tower. Namdaemun Market is right across the street, and it's a direct walk to Lotte and Shinsegae Duty-Free Department Stores, as well as Myeongdong's main shopping street, making it very convenient for shopping. The hotel also has a GS25, Burger King, and coffee shops, making it incredibly easy to grab a bite or a drink. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time.

I stayed in a triple room on the 15th floor. Here's my feedback: 1. The room had excellent soundproofing, making for a quiet stay. 2. There's a direct underground passage from the lobby to Subway Line 2, which goes through Lotte Department Store. 3. There's no direct bus from Gimpo Airport to the hotel, but there is one from Incheon Airport. 4. The hotel description incorrectly states that Evian water is provided. I specifically asked for the English version at the front desk, and it only mentioned bottled water. I'm not sure why the Chinese page specifically highlights Evian when it's not actually available. 5. The closet door in the room was broken and wasn't repaired promptly after reporting it. Because the left side of the closet door was collapsed, the light inside the closet stayed on all night, which isn't ideal for guests who need darkness to sleep. 6. Complimentary toothbrushes are not provided in the room. They are available in the mini-bar for 2,000 KRW each. You can use Lotte Points to redeem them when checking out, though I'm not sure of the exact point value. 7. The gym is good, with a lot of equipment. It's open from 6 AM to 10 PM and has a front desk.

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The hotel's convenient location near Myeongdong station was a significant advantage, and I was pleased to receive the room I had requested. The view from the room was delightful, and there were ample lockers available for luggage. The 24-hour minimart in the lobby proved to be incredibly convenient. While shampoo and shower gel were provided, guests should remember to bring their own body lotion and toothbrush. I did notice that the automatic toilet flush button was not functioning, and a used towel had been left in the bathtub.

We had a pleasant stay at Fraser Namdaemun Apartment. The room is comfortable and quiet. Overall it was a good experience, though some special requests I sent via email in advance were not fully arranged. Fortunately, this did not greatly affect our trip. The location is fantastic! All major tourist spots are within walking distance, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. I especially want to give high praise to the cleaning staff, who provided wonderful service. Would recommend for travellers exploring central Seoul.

I’ll list what I love: 1) Prime location, it’s at main shopping area and night market. Lotte department store is a few mins walk away. MRT station is just a stone throw, 2) hotel room and bathroom are clean and spacious, 3) bathroom has bidet and toilet seat warmer, 4) big pump bottles of toiletries, so convenient to use, 5) lobby has luggage weighing scale, 6) hotel room corridor has hot and cold water dispenser, 7) concierge staff are always helpful and pleasant, 8) strong complimentary WiFi.. these are a few. Definitely worth staying!
