Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Myeong-dong Seoul|0.65km from Seoul Kimchi Academy
Stayed at the Lotte Executive Tower just after the holidays, in a Premier Double Room. Pros: - The entrance of the Executive Tower is absolutely beautiful. Same with the Main Tower. Elegant, refined, beautiful art work. The executive tower check-in desks are on the 15th floor. - Easy access by escalator directly into the Lotte Department Store (from where the escalator takes you to, hang a right to get to the famous food hall!) - Location can’t be beat. Directly across from Eujiro Station (1) and around the corner from Myeong-Dong Walking Street / Night Market and several 7-11s (which are almost as good as the 7-11s in Japan). - Our room was beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Very modern touches and upscale finishes. A chandelier in the bathroom?? - Immaculate housekeeping. - Excellent temperature and very strong water pressure in the shower! - Appreciate the 2 complimentary bottles of Evian every day. - Fast wifi speeds. Cons: - Love the Diptyque toiletries but wish they weren’t the communal / shared bottles. There were bits of dried lotion crusted on the pump from the previous occupant. - Weird that neither lobby had a single chair to sit on. What’s up with that? Comes off a bit inhospitable. This isn’t the type of place to attract non-guests / loiterers. A bench wouldn’t kill anyone! - For a 5* hotel and the price we’re paying, it’s disappointing that there is a surcharge should you need a toothbrush, toothpaste or use of the sauna (!!). They claim the charge for toothbrush and paste is to prevent wastage but surely you could just have these small items available upon request at the front desk? - The doormen’s manners range from formal and friendly (some) to indifferent (most) to downright hostile (many), especially if you are not a Korean speaker, as many don’t speak English. I’m not arrogant enough to think they should speak English in a non-English speaking country, but a smile is universal, you know? Would likely stay here again at the right price and given the location.

UH Suite the Myeongdong
4/550 Reviews
Myeong-dong
Recommend for Couple. Actually, it took a while to make a reservation due to the other reviews made in chineses. When I booked time, I found some bad things about this hotel. It was meaningless. The suite was really dope. Also, the design was fabulous. we were so satisfied and enjoyed a happy time. Also, staff friendly & helpful and spoke great English. The spa was also good. They said we should only use bath products (bath bombs) sold in hotels. When I heard that, I couldn’t understand it. However, I understand when I used spa. The drainage is slow, in my opinion. ah, I bought a bath product, it was good. Thus, I highly recommend this accommodation. I will definitely return and stay when I visit Korea. ps. THX, guys. you guys are the best
Tomo Residence Seoul
2.6/50 Reviews
Myeong-dong
Location - In the quiet end of Myeongdong - Close to Myeongdong station – although the closest exit doesn’t have escalator or elevator Building - No lifts (but you can ask the staff to help to carry your luggage) - A decent kitchen - The kitchen can only fit about 4-5 people at a time. - The following items are supposed to be available for breakfast: coffee, juice, cereal, toasts, eggs and fruit. However, I haven’t seen any eggs or fruit being available during my stay and nothing is ever replenished. - Cup noodles, bread, butter are spread are usually available round the clock. Room - The rooms are accessed through smart locks with password control – this means there’s one less thing you can lose - Modern clean no-frills furnishing - Enough room to open up the luggage in the twin room with a bunk bed - Clean linen - No windows which makes it hard to regulate temperature or ventilate the room – it got a bit too hot and stuffy in the room at time, even in the middle of winter - A bit hard to get dressed in the shower when it’s totally wet (no separate shower) - Musty smell coming out of the drain in the bathroom – had to keep the shower door closed at all time - The lower bunk is a bit too low for adults and with only one stool in the room, someone inevitably have to sit on the lower bunk - TV is on the same side as the head of the bed, which seems a little strange - Thin walls – could hear people talking in neighbouring room - The tiny bar fridge in the room had no freezer section and was so weak that things were merely cool but not cold Staff - Staff is friendly even though their English is limited Internet - Decent speed Other points to consider - The hotel occupies a number of floors, starting on 2/F (with ground floor being 1/F) - 2/F requires the least walking. However, with the reception being on this floor, it might feel like someone is watching your every move if you stay on this floor - The kitchen is on 3/F. While it has a separate door, you might be able to hear noise from the kitchen if you’re in an adjoining room. The only water dispenser is in the kitchen so whichever floor you’re on, you’ll inevitably be visiting the 3/F regularly - Some of the rooms have no windows (don't be fooled by the pictures)
OYO Hostel Myeongdong 2
4.4/563 Reviews
Myeong-dong
Would stay again!! Staff - very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier - went above and beyond and make our stay enjoyable and always had a smile on their face. Price - great price given the location in central Myeongdong and the facilities offered. Room - all the facilities you need (including a kettle in the room and a communal kitchen next to reception on the 5th floor), toiletries, private bathroom, not much storage but you can just about get by. Location - excellent! A few minutes walk from the shops and street food vendors. Got everything you need including a corner shop right on your doorstep.Hotel is also only a few minutes walk to Myeongdong station which has links to most lines including the airport via Seoul Station. As well as the subway, there are also numerous bus stops nearby with links to sites such as N Seoul Tower and the fish market. Downsides - only downside is the bathroom - although it was private in the sense of having one in your room, the bathroom itself is ”see through.” It would be good to have some sort of curtain for a bit of privacy.
Creto Hotel Myeongdong
4.5/555 Reviews
Myeong-dong
The rooms have terrible soundproof. I can literally hear visitors from next room plugging in something into the plugs, blow drying their hair, lift sound, talking and opening/closing of their doors. Informed the hotel staff that the rooms are stuffy and too warm after my first night. The temperature at night in the room was 26.5 and I woke up perspiring. The management then put up a notice that the warmer can only be turned off the following day. I ended up sleeping in a really warm room for two nights. Plus, with the noises from other visitors, I had a very bad sleep. Shelves were rather dusty and there were holes on the mattress cover too. However, I do like the location of the hotel. Lots of restaurants around the area. It’s walkable distance to Myeongdong and subway. Hotel staff were rather helpful and polite too.
The Grand Hotel Myeongdong
4.4/516 Reviews
Myeong-dong
Although the hotel is small, the front desk service is very good. Since there was room available, we were able to check in early. The room is clean and disposable supplies are from Innisfree and are replenished every day. The location of the hotel is very good, the environment is quiet, and it is very close to the subway station and bus station, and can go to Incheon Airport. There are several halal restaurants near the hotel and a good Malaysian restaurant opposite. Will come again.
Henn-na Hotel Seoul Myeongdong
4.3/5180 Reviews
Myeong-dong
Overall, we had a very pleasant experience. it wasn't too far away from the train station, even exit 1 at Myeongdong (the one with the elevator) just requires us to cross the road and that's it. the staff were friendly, yes, even the dinosaurs and robots manning the reception area. room was clean (pictures were taken only on the last day because we forgot before that). there's a chance we were blessed with a big room (according to the emergency floorplan). we had ample space to leave our luggage open, although it'll be good to have a luggage stand so it's easier for a preggy like me to pack our luggage. surprised there was a bathtub, tho small but it works. my husband didn't like that the toilet bowl is separate from the bathing area, but it didn't bother me too much. however, we enjoyed the automated bidet and butt dryer.
