“good location & worth your money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

person found this review helpful

we stayed in 2 different hotels on our trip to Seoul. One is a five star hotel in Gangnam and the other is Best Western Kukdo.

It's 5 mins away to the closest subway station and 2 stops away to Myeongdong. Very convenient and you get more privacy as it's not directly in front of the major streets.

Airport limousine stops directly in front of the hotel, which another plus point. Family mart just around the corner (in case you're feeling hungry and craving for korean instant noodle at night)

Although the price was almost halves than what we paid on the other hotel, it lived to our expectation! Room was clean and nicely decorated. Not very spacious but comfortable.

I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting Seoul and wants to stay near the bustling Myeongdong.

“Great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We had originaly wanted to book a hotel in Myeongdong but due to the year-end peak season, we had to settle for Best Western. It turned out that we made an excellent choice! The hotel is just a few steps away from Euljiro 4 station (exit 10) and the underground links all the way to Euljiro 1 station (where Lotte Shopping Center is) by foot in 15 minutes. The underground not only provides respite from the cold during winter, it is also a great way to explore the city. A big plus is the airport shuttle which stops right at the doorstep.

We had a room on the 19th floor overlooking the city. Room is modern and clean and comes with internet access. While the room comes with all the basic amenities such as skin lotion, shampoo, etc, the hotel does not seem too generous with other essentials. We had two bottles of complimentary mineral water provided on the first day but not the subsequent days. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available at a cost.

Service at the concierge was excellent. The staff was able to give good recommendations on local cuisine and helped us with bookings for a ski trip. Would defintiely stay here again!

“Sweet place to stay in Seoul.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Very modern with a great bar and restaurant. The rooms are very clean.and nice. The service is solid.
The location seemed good, right on the metro although I don't know Seoul well enough to comment on it relative to other areas.
I would stay her again for sure.

“You can do much better than this hotel!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

After waiting over an hour and a half past the scheduled check-in time I was granted a room with two twin sized beds complete with stained bedding. I thought I was back in my college dorm.The room came with an undersized television, a poorly functioning heating system and a wall with mold (maybe it's just water damage). I was kind enough to (unintentionally) remove the remnants of double-sided tape from the entryway using my socks.
The best thing this hotel has going for it is location. Easy walking distance to a large number of interesting places to eat and shop. But it does not make up for the complete disappointment I felt as i walked in. This is a beautiful, safe, and friendly city that offers lots of competitively priced hotels that have their act together.Take your time and find one.

“Nice and central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

The hotel is very well located, not far from the center and with many metro station close to it. The staff is very friendly and some can quite a good English. The rooms are big, very clean and nice. Recommended.
