The hotel maintains a high cleanliness rating of 9/10 and strong service scores. Rooms are noted for being spacious and comfortable, with some offering views of Namsan and the city hall plaza.

The room was spacious, and the transportation nearby was very convenient with Metro Line 2. It's right next to Lotte Duty-Free Shop, and Myeongdong is just a 7-8 minute walk away. There are convenience stores nearby too. I would definitely stay here again.
07.02.2026 Guest
Cool hotel, but quite old. Even so I think the rooms are super nice and super big. Access is also very good as it is near to a lot of places.
02.02.2026 Guest
The room has a view of Namsan, and the environment is pretty good. I always stay here. It's very convenient to get to Myeongdong, and City Hall is right next door.
02.02.2026 Anonymous
Pros: The location is excellent. There's an underground passage right outside that leads directly to the subway station. It's right next to the Lotte Hotel, and it's not too far to walk to Myeongdong. The room was spacious, and the service was great. Even when we didn't request housekeeping, they still delivered fresh towels and water. There are power outlets next to the bed, so no need for an adapter.
Cons: The bed was a bit wobbly and not very big. The room faced the road, and the windows weren't very soundproof, so it was quite noisy with protests on the weekend.

The hotel's location is excellent, right behind the duty-free shop and close to the subway station, making it very convenient for getting around. The room is also spacious. I will definitely choose to stay at this hotel again when I visit Seoul. The value for money is truly exceptional.
05.01.2026 Guest
The hotel lobby was brightly lit and looked good. Check-in was swift and didn't require a deposit. Although I saw reviews when booking that said the hotel was a bit old, I found it wasn't old at all after checking in (it must have been recently renovated). The bed and bedding were very comfortable. Looking out the window, I could even see an ice rink (there were still many people skating between 11 AM and 12 PM). The hotel is very close to Gwanghwamun Square, and there are many food options near Myeongdong. Choosing Trip.com for a one-way private car transfer to and from Incheon Airport for 380-410 RMB is quite a good deal, considering a regular BBQ meal in Seoul costs around 350 RMB per person.
01.12.2025 Guest
Excellent location. A bit cold and noisy from the window. Luggage storage is limited to 12 hours. I enjoyed shampoo (smells really nice).
Wi-fi is available only in rooms (20th-30th floors), not at the reception.
There is a Wowpass kiosk at the reception.

The room is clean and comfortable.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
The location is very convenient.
The service is excellent.
04.09.2025 Wanmin
I tried out a Korean-style room, but found it quite unsuitable for business. There was no desk or even a single chair, so I had to make do with using my laptop on a small coffee table while sitting on the mattress. Additionally, the information on Trip.com was incorrect; the hotel does not actually offer a washing machine or dryer. On the positive side, the service, transportation, and location were excellent. The Hyundai Department Store is just a 7-8 minute walk away, featuring a large supermarket and a food court in its basement.
02.09.2025 Guest
Overall, I was highly satisfied. The room was very spacious, offering excellent views of N Seoul Tower. It was quiet and spotlessly clean, and the front desk service was also great. Any initial concerns I had about outdated facilities were completely unwarranted.
