NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONGDONG 2

The hotel is in a very convenient location, making it easy to get around, go shopping, and find places to eat. Since it's not right in the bustling center of Myeongdong, the overall stay is very quiet. The housekeeping staff are so thoughtful; they noticed I had taken the cold water bottles out of the fridge to let them reach room temperature, so when they cleaned and restocked, they didn't put the new bottles in the fridge. Additionally, the hotel has a self-service area equipped with a garment steamer and a microwave, which is very convenient for guests to use.

During this stay, we booked a triple room. Worried that the kids might roll off the beds while sleeping, we pushed two of the beds together ourselves. To our surprise, the housekeeping staff noticed this arrangement the next day during cleaning and thoughtfully changed it to a large bed sheet suitable for combined beds. This completely eliminated the gap between the two beds, so we no longer had to worry about anyone getting stuck in the middle. This thoughtful gesture from the housekeeper exceeded our expectations and the attention to detail was truly heartwarming. The original showerhead in the bathroom was a bit worn out, but after we reported it to the front desk, a maintenance person came up very quickly to replace and fix it. The water flow from the new showerhead was strong, and the response time for resolving the issue was impressive. The location offers a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle—it's just a 7-8 minute walk to the main Myeongdong shopping district, and Gyeongbokgung Palace is only two or three subway stops away. There are a few convenience stores right downstairs, which is very convenient. Finally, they even helped me find my lost plush toy, and I was able to arrange a courier service for it myself. The breakfast was also good and very delicious.

The bathtub-style shower in the room easily clogs, and the showerhead itself cannot be fixed and is damaged, making it easy to cut your hand. However, the hotel is still very convenient. You can check in at 12 PM, the elevators are fast, and there's a 24-hour convenience store downstairs. The bus stop is a convenient five-minute walk away. It's a bit far from Myeongdong, so it's not too crowded or noisy. Seoul is more crowded than Busan and has more traffic, but it's more convenient for dining. Public restrooms are hard to find.

This hotel was so comfortable that I canceled my original booking in Seoul after my trip to Busan and rebooked this one. We had a twin room with a small mini-bar, a sofa, and a table. There was plenty of space to open two suitcases, and a convenience store is located downstairs. The hotel is about a 500-meter walk from Euljiro 3-ga subway station. If you don't mind walking a bit further, you can even reach Myeongdong on foot. The soundproofing was also good. Just a heads-up, they don't provide power adapters or toothbrushes, so you'll need to bring your own. Most importantly, I didn't feel any discrimination against Chinese people here. The front desk staff were all very welcoming, and luggage storage was free. This was a stark contrast to a certain hotel in Busan where the front desk staff practically rolled their eyes at us. Highly recommended!

This hotel is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Myeongdong shopping street, yet surprisingly quiet despite being in the heart of the city. My room was very peaceful and even had a view of N Seoul Tower. I went up to Lounge 9 on the 18th floor for a drink one evening, and since it was Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), they even gave us Korean mooncakes – what a nice touch! Chuseok is a major holiday in Korea, so getting a taxi was incredibly difficult, but the front desk staff on the day I checked out were so patient and helpful in getting me a taxi to the train station. Downstairs, there's a GS25 convenience store, which is very handy for essentials, and there's also a currency exchange machine. Plus, Subway Exit 9 is only a 5-minute walk away. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit!

The room was bigger than I expected, very spacious and bright, and despite being next to the road, it wasn't noisy at all. The room was cleaned spotlessly every day. The front desk staff spoke English simply and clearly, and the service was excellent 👍. There's a convenient supermarket inside the hotel, as well as an ATM. Around the hotel, there are many places to eat and grab coffee. Getting to the subway station is very easy, with many lines to choose from. It's only a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong. There's a fantastic grilled meat restaurant called 'Geum Suk Sung' nearby. I would definitely stay here again! 🥰

The room with Namsan Tower view was absolutely amazing! The hotel is also much larger and cleaner than the Sheraton I stayed at previously in Seoul. It's very close to Myeongdong, which is super convenient. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The location is great, just a five to six-minute walk to Myeongdong shopping street, and a few more minutes to Lotte Department Store and the duty-free shop. It's also quite close to Dongdaemun; a taxi ride costs only a few dollars. The room is spacious for a Korean hotel, big enough to fully open a 30-inch suitcase. To store luggage, you need to go to B3 where there are lockers that are easy to use and very convenient. There's a small convenience store in the hotel lobby, which is handy for grabbing some snacks when you're tired from returning to the hotel. There are also many restaurants nearby.

The room offered fantastic views, and the staff communicated well in English. The only downside was a peculiar, body-odor-like smell from the wallpaper in the room. At first, I thought it might be from a previous guest, but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they kindly let me check other vacant rooms, and they had the same smell. However, the hotel service was incredibly patient and attentive; they even provided an air purifier to help with the smell. The hotel's location is very convenient, and the restaurants downstairs are also delicious. Overall, I was satisfied.
