This hotel is on the opposite side of the busy Myeongdong shopping street. It is within walking distance of Myeongdong Station (exit 4). Limousine buses from the airport and outbound daytrip buses also stop in front of the subway entrance (or nearby), thus putting this hotel in very strategic location and suitable as base for exploring the city. It is also very affordable, clean, and modern compared to other hotels nearby.
If you arrive to the city/Myeongdong by subway with luggages, please be aware that there will be section with staircase-only (no lift/escalator) access. Exit 3 has escalator.
The bed was comfy, but the standard room is a bit smallish with very small window. Our room on the 6th floor get no natural lights in as it was facing a big wall. Thus fresh air is hard to get in. It was november, and the hotel has turned off central air-con, and they declined to turn it on for our room. So at night, we were kind of struggling to go to bed due to the warm room temperature (eventhough it was pleasantly cool temperature outside).
My advice is to request a room with outside view, that way, at least you get access to natural light and fresh air. Get a family/triple-bed room and you'll get a much, much bigger room and bathroom
I wasn't impressed with the work of the housekeeping. We stayed 5 nights, and the sink hadn't been properly cleaned and wiped of soap scums the whole time. Amenities were not consistently replenished. They did not provide body lotion either, which definitely would have been helpful for Seoul dry air. Our shower did not drain quick enough due to the design.
Big flat-screen TV and dimmable bedside lamp was a plus. The lift and reception/lobby was nice. The reception service was hit and miss, depending on who served you. I got a reception guy who didn't smile at all during checkout. It was probably part of his nature, but it didn't exude warmth/welcoming feeling for guests being served. Some speak good English, some have limited English.
