The hotel is situated in the Myeongdong shopping district but it is not right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. It sits just outside of the main shopping/night market area so it is not noisy at all. There is a 7-Eleven at the hotel basement so you can get all your toiletries and snacks there. The hotel does not provide dental kits so be sure to bring your own or buy from the convenience store downstairs.
Hotel staff can speak English and one lady in particular speaks Mandarin and English. She was very helpful and friendly. Another staff helped to arrange our two rooms on the same floor when he realised that one of the rooms wasn’t ready and was on another floor.
We had a triple room which is quite spacious considering most rooms in Myeongdong hotels are rather small and you can barely open up your luggage. Our room has space for our 3 pieces of luggage in front of the beds. The room is big enough to accommodate two lounge chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom has a bathtub and the toilet has a bidet so it makes up for the dated look of the whole room.
We had some of our meals in the restaurants just across the road from the hotel and they serve nice Korean cuisine. The Euljiro 1-ga station is just a few minutes’ walk away.
We really like the location of the hotel even though the room is a bit dated, especially the bathroom.

The location of Skypark Hotel is very comfortable for the travelers. It’s very close to 2 subway stations and only 7 mins walk from DDP.
The room itself was very cosy and nice, but a bit small. There was everything we needed in the room. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean.
What about the service though… The man at the front desk was pretty professional, but very cold. He took our passports, quickly pressed some buttons on the electronic kiosk, gave us the paper with the codes, very briefly explained how to use it and send us to the elevator without giving us any time to realize what is happening. Very quick check in and check out. The cleaning lady was very polite, helpful and understanding.
Very Good

Most of the staffs are not patient to help all the time, but it might be the Korean culture. They are really honest and never manage to do a fake smile lol.
My friend and I heard the bells ring from other rooms very often during midnight (even after 2am), not sure if it’s human or supernatural thing. As we talk about this after we leave the hotel, we didn’t ask for room change.
Location is far from metro, around 15mins walk. Bus might be easier but google map is not working well in Seoul. It took us some time to find the bus stop at the first day. So please kindly consider before you make reservations.

I booked for a short stay and I am kind of glad that I did.
Location is pretty convenient as it is very close to the subway station and there are a lot of restaurants near by.
The hotel room I got had a hole on the wall which the receptionist told me that he will get someone to fill in the hole the next day but since it was a really short stay, I just stuffed tissues into the hole just to cover it up. I think the hotel itself is actually a hotel/ motel hence the cleanliness wasn't the best but it wasn't very bad so it's still ok and I still managed to sleep well. The toilet was huge and toiletries were very well provided however, we were not allowed to flush down the toilet papers into the cubicle which is disgusting as there is no bidet as well so we will have to walk down to the bathtub to wash up after... Room wasn't very well sound proofed so you might here abit noise here and there.
Overall, I still think it was a good stay and I will go back to the hotel for short stays only.

GGuest User2024.07.21
Pro: it's close to the subway station. There is a mashing machine and dryer in the property. The room is quite spacious.
Cons: the toilet smells (my partner and I both agreed there was a strong smell) and we reported to the reception, a member of staff came up and said he couldn't smell it (but he cleaned it anyways,but still smells after the disinfectant smells faded out). The cup in the bathroom is not cleaned (as shown in the picture, I thought it was scratch at first, then when I touched it, it is gel/cream ish)The TV was hard to operate, it even took the staff awhile to get to the channel.

It was a really nice and clean, fairly new and modern hotel. Its fuss-free and functional for a solo traveller or couple. The location is close to amenities - convenience stores, McDonald’s, Paris Baguette and several other independent coffee stores. It is a tad bit of a walk to the main Gangnam shopping belt (approximately 15-20 minutes). Overall, a good hotel.

GGuest User2023.09.11
The check in and check out was simple. I was worried the walk to the subway would be too far but it wasn't at all. Shops and coffee shops along the way to pick up anything before going out or returning to the hotel. There is also a shopping center downstairs with lots of restaurants and an Emart in walking distance. I got sick during my stay and the staff was very helpful. The bed was really comfy. I suffer from back pain and during my stay my bavk did not hurt at all. I was really surprised. The cleaner was very sweet. The bathroom had a bathtub and shower and there was a kettle in the room. However, there was no instant coffee just tea which wasn't a big deal to me because you can get coffee in just about any corner in Seoul. Because I got sick during my stay I wasn't able to check out any of the facilities: gym, cafe, etc so I can't comment on that. For me the most important in any hotel stay is the customer service and I found here it great. They were able to answer all my questions which is helpful in a foreign country. Definitely recommend!

GGuest UserMy first time at Le Méridien Seoul , new hotel , 6 months old , super clean , great rooms facilities , good buffet breakfast , maybe a bit under staffed during rush hours but staff were very nice . Superb lounge at the 15 floor with very friendly and helpful staff special thanks to Mrs Sharon Kim and Mrs Rachael Kim for there valued help for restaurants and tips for side seen and shopping , Will go back for sure next time I will in Seoul !
GGrace KuangylHotel is located near anguk station. Just a little 5mins walk from the hotel. very near insadong and many food places.
Below the main hotel there are some retail shops and restaurant & GS25(but it seems like the GS25 there is automated cashier or something because you cant jus go in as you wish). But there is another nearby GS25 jus a few abt 2 mins walk down on the way to subway.
Did not take the airport bus because I was rushing for time. Although the Hotel told me that it will be a 5mins walk, but I personally would not recommend if you have big large suitcases because you got to pass through humans as that area is pretty busy in the day. But it is still convenient if you want to take and a much cheaper option. (i would recommend if you take airport bus if you arrive late night)
Hotel room is big and clean & there is mountian view too! Never expect it from a city hotel. I requested for a high floor and was glad they accede to my request. However, I think i requested for a standing shower room too last minute, thus, they still assign me a bathtub room. But thats ok, I just make do with it. Basic amenities all provided (except disposable ones due to korea's law)
They are quite strict with check in time, but I manage to store my luggage at their lockers and did a wash up before heading out for lunch. So if you arrive early, do prepare some small travel cleanser or a fresh clothes in your bagpack so that you wont have to dig your luggage.
overall, im quite happy with my stay and would definitely consider coming back to this hotel.
GGuest UserCons:
First, it was disappointed to find out the shower gel dispenser is broken by ourselves when I was naked standing in the shower room. I would assume the staff should know the condition of the room. I wish the front desk informed me when I checked in and ask if I could accept it or not since I pay no less than others.
Second, the refrigerator has the smallest capacity I’ve ever seen.
Pros:
Room is clean and spacious enough for 2 luggage. Staff are nice. They smile and greet. Location is incredible, super convenient! Kinda quiet in a noisy neighborhood. The subway station is right under the building. It’s easy to reach to most of attractions and can go through to the airport without any transfer.
Money exchanging machine is available in the lobby.
AAnonymous UserLocation is more suitable for business travellers who want to work & commute in financial district, otherwise there’s not much to do in this whole area as it’s very hard to find a decent or simple eatery which opens near late night compared to living in Dongdaemun and Gangnam. Our room is located high and we can have a glance of the nearby buildings and overlooked further. They don’t provide full amenities compared to 2 other 5-stars hotels we had stayed in during this trip. So prep yourself with our necessary amenities like earbuds, combs, earplugs, sewing kits if needed in any case..
The hotel room is quite spacious and toilet is equipped with a bathtub which we didn’t get to utilise at all but my child had once because she wanted to play a bath bomb for 10 mins. Other items like ironing board, iron, Nespresso coffee machine, distilled water bottles, beverages and condiments, safe box, fridge were all provided.
And I find it quite troubling as there were too many ‘big-country’ tourists either staying in the hotel or those living in Seoul going to the Hyundai Seoul mall to buy luxury goods. And the entire mall is crazily flooded and packed with youngsters on the day of our check-in and the next day. Some came to window-shop while most others came in for food and perhaps after meals, to seek shelter and shield from the cold. You won’t be believed this you can’t even find a place to eat as all fast food eateries, snacks counters and restaurants were fully unavailable. There were basically long queues everywhere you go. Ended up my super famished poor child had to walk a long way with us & venture out in the cold to find any available restaurant to have our dinner.
International breakfast is served daily at L5 and the buffet spread is limited compared to the one we stayed & had in Dongdaemun. We had to pay additional 55,000KRW (SGD55) per day for our young child to dine in with us as her breakfast was not included in our accommodation package. I think it’s really too expensive and given that we always came down only at 9.30am and the breakfast stopped at 10am sharp. The food she always had was a small bowl of cereal, 4 small bite-sized hash-browns and a glass of milk only where she had to eat fast within 30mins before they closed for the day. For such price paid, it’s totally not worth it and we can’t avoid paying lesser despite they knew we only had 30 mins left to dine.
Overall the concierge service crews’ attitude and professionalism were excellent and Fairmont had the best staffs with great service i encountered during our 3 weeks stay across 3 different 5-stars hotels. I wished I will have another chance to stay here again but the price for each night is SGD450++, which is really expensive.
MmiSs JM🏨Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemu’s location is perfect! It’s literally next to Hyundai Outlet mall and other big shopping malls in Dongdaemun.
🚊Subway and bus stop is walking distance.
🍱 Tons of restaurants around to choose from.
🛍️ Most shops are open until 5am around Dongdaemun so even if you arrive in Seoul late, you can still walk around and check some stores.
📝note: the hotel’s check in lobby is on the 14th floor, and it’s self service (very convenient). They also provide free bus ride to some places (look at the picture for reference).
🚌Airport shuttle bus is 18,000won (94RMB)
GGuest UserWe enjoyed our room the most and felt that we had a good night's rest here. This is a semi budget friendly hotel that is close to the palace/park areas of Seoul. The room was clean and well appointed with two comfy beds, two good pillows per bed, a chair, cabinets and drawers to store stuff, a big tv, robes and sandals. The bathroom was nice too with good shower pressure and one of those shower valves where you can pick the temperature you want. The toilet flushed quietly and there was plenty of shower space. There are frosted windows in the bathroom which help let in natural day light but if your partner uses it at night you will see the lights come on.
The location was decent but the metro was further than expected. When we booked trip.com showed us that it was 330m from Dongmyo Station but it was actually closest to jongno 5 entrance 2 which was a 10 minute walk away from the hotel. The palace and Hanbok areas are very close to the hotel and there are frequent busses in the area to take you to the major attractions and areas. Nearby the hotel there are many convenience stores but there are limited restaurant options outside of coffee shops.
The breakfast at the hotel was ok. We found there was a good variety but if you went too early (7:30 am) nothing was out yet and if you went later (8:30) everything was limited. The hot items were not as hot as we liked them to be despite the heaters so it might be worth getting early and getting your food when it comes out so it is nice and hot. There were scrambled eggs, fried eggs, marbled cheese the one day, stuff to make salad, an onion soup, mushroom soup, fried rice, a hot vegetable (one day it was potato and the next it was mushrooms), hot dogs, cut up fruit, bread/toaster, cut up muffins, orange juice, coffee and tea. There was enough to get by and there are pricey a la carte options. The restaurant was a little drafty when we went but it was just enough to get us started each day.
The staff at the hotel were friendly and allowed us to store our baggage when we arrived early so we could go out and explore the city. When we actually checked in it was smooth and quick. The elevators are a little tricky at the hotel and you have to pay attention to which elevator is closest to you and press that button. There are two elevators but there are two separate buttons to call them so it is worthwhile looking where the elevators are and choosing accordingly. The hotel also has a coin laundry facility and a meeting area. The lobby is also nicely appointed with furniture and a small drinks shop but being there in December we wouldn't want to hang out there long.
GGuest UserLoved it so much, this is my second time staying here.
Fantastic location - centrally located, can get anywhere in 10-30 mins. Bus stop right in-front of the hotel and Sinsa station 5 mins away. There’s a 7-11 next to the hotel. There’s food places around the Garousu-Gil shopping area - lots of the locals hang out there. There’s a cafe (lobby) and rooftop bar in the hotel. 10 mins walk to the Airport bus stop - super convenient to take the bus to/from the airport.
Rooms are clean and minimalist. Just take note that amenities are limited as this is an eco friendly hotel. If you are travelling with someone bring or buy additional soap/shampoo as its bar soap/shampoo/conditioner (1 bar each). If you don’t want your room cleaned daily - hotel does leave a bag of clean towels and water top up at your door. Floor space it’s good to open 3 large suitcases flat. There are slots under the bed to keep 2 suitcases just like their photos show.
Only thing lacking is hanging space - towel and clothes.
Loved the free Dear Klairs skincare samples. Store was located down the street from the hotel, picked up a few things because of the samples.
You can keep your luggage in the lobby so you don’t need to pay extra for a locker.
GGuest UserA very simple 3 star hotel very close to Seoul Station which is its main advantage.
Very small room gives you some Japanese vibes. That's also supported by the toilet. There was some USB socket broken, though it didn't deliver any problem.
If you're an individual that needs a one night stay in Seoul - the Manu Hotel is quite a good choice. Plenty of the shops and cafes in vicinity. Close to Namdaemun Market and the street. The Seoulista restaraunt or bar (I'd better call it a bar) - is ok for late dinner if you don't want to look for anything else.
Some reviewers wrote about homeless people on the way from Seoul station (right in front actually) to the hotel. Though I didn't find the ”clean” pass to the walkway (from the station) and had to encounter them, I don't see any problem - there's a police station right there. Had a small problem finding a way on top of the walkway as the lift is a bit hidden (but you have to be complete ***** not finding it).
Pros:
- Quite cheap
- Close to Seoul Station
- Lot's of cafes and shops around
Cons
- Small rooms.
TTSTRAVELSI really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is so close to many restaurants, coffee shops and two metro lines. It was also conveniently located to Gwangjang Market via a 10 minute walk, Bukchon Hanok Village 20 minutes via metro and Gyeonggbokgung Palace. You can easily hike Namsan Mt. Park all the way to Seoul Tower in about 90 minutes, starting from the hotel all the way to the top. The staff were very friendly and accommodating organizing taxi services and helping with directions to get around the city. The room needs a bit of updating but it was clean, functional, the bed was comfortable to sleep in and it had a nice view of North Seoul Tower. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!
4442sanaaeI loved the fact that the location is perfect for a quite night as well as it’s so closed to Namsan tower for a beautiful walk in morning, Myeongdong for shopping and sightseeing in evening time and many places I can get to in less than 15 mins The guest house is perfectly clean , they have a healthy breakfast as well as a projector where I played my favorite movies at night before heading to sleep. The family are so nice and always there to help me with everything I needed ^_^ I recommend this place for long term and short term stays~~
