Koreana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast that was included was very monotonous, pancakes or French toast each day with no other choice. Not the sort of pancakes/french toast you’d get in NorthAmerica. Room was very clean and supplies in bathroom were good."

"It was very clean Only thing we did not like the airport bus does not stop at the property and bus stop was little far"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel. Maybe you could say that the room was on the small side but other than that, everything was wonderful for our stay; the breakfast buffet was splendid, all the staff were helpful and charming, room spotless. We will definitely be looking out for other hotels from this group in the future. The location in the heart of bustling Myeongdong was perfect for our first visit to the fantastic city of Seoul. One problem was lack of space in our suitcases following our numerous shopping sprees."

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL - 더그랜드롯데 서울

8/10 Good

"Outstanding! Staff are very courteous. Room/linen- sheets -towels/ smell of the room/amenities/are all excellent. Only one suggestion: There’s two bathrobe - good quality, however, I recommend to make the other bathrobe bigger than the other one- for man size. My husband was not able to use it as it was small for him. Overall - excellent!!"

Step Inn Myeongdong 1
