voco SEOUL MYEONGDONG by IHG

This is probably a hotel choice for many tourists. It's not right in the center of Myeongdong, but still in a relatively convenient location. The room decor is quite new, pretty much standard for a VOCO. Having a convenience store and a coffee shop in the lobby is very convenient. As for charging devices, there are two sets of standard USB ports and two Type-C ports.

The location is extremely convenient. You can take bus 6001 straight from Incheon Airport to the hotel entrance. The bus is very comfortable, and the subway station is also right outside. It's very close to Myeongdong, and within walking distance to Shinsegae and Lotte Duty-Free.

Voco Myeongdong boasts a super convenient location, right outside a subway entrance. The breakfast was authentically delicious (compared to the Western-style breakfasts at other hotels, the food here was much more traditional Korean and really tasty!). Any urgent issues were handled exceptionally well. With Namsan Tower visible from the window, and a very spacious triple room, it's perfect for family trips!

The lobby staff spoke fluent English, and check-in was very smooth. The mini-bar was complimentary, and the location was quiet yet convenient to Myeongdong. The hotel facilities were a bit dated; at this price point, newer facilities would have been better.

The hotel is conveniently located right outside Gate 6001 of the airport bus stop (Hoehyeon Station), and there are subway entrances within a few minutes' walk in either direction. It's about a 15-minute walk to Myeongdong, which is a bit of a distance. There was a BBQ smell in the lower levels of the hotel, and I suspect the front desk assigns rooms based on nationality because the first thing I noticed upon entering my room was an unpleasant odor. The hotel fridge had complimentary drinks, and the bedding was very comfortable. It's the quality you'd expect from an InterContinental hotel, and the housekeeping and service were excellent; they cleaned the room promptly and thoroughly every day. Across from the hotel, at the entrance to Namdaemun Market, there's a rather simple restaurant that serves delicious knife-cut noodles. It was full of locals, and a small bowl was more than enough for a woman.

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.

The location is excellent, right outside Exit 3 of Hoehyeon Station. They gave me a high-floor city view room. The room wasn't big, but the bed was quite large. The inside of the toilet bowl didn't feel very clean. Other than that, my overall experience was good.

The location is super convenient, just a 5-6 minute walk to Shinsegae, 10 minutes to Lotte, and 8 minutes to Myeongdong. There are also lots of small shops nearby. However, the room's details weren't great. After closing the bathroom door, I noticed a half-eaten biscuit that hadn't been cleaned up. They also didn't replenish the tissues in the room. On the plus side, there's a convenience store by the hotel lobby elevators, which is really handy for buying things.
