Excellent location, few steps away from Subway station, If I remember correctly, used to be four or five star hotel back in 80s and 90s, yes it is Outdated but room is Bigger than most hotels in Seoul. Furniture’s decoration is very 80s but very well kept, I know They are having labor issues. I don’t know details of it, but wish them. Good luck.

The location of the hotel is excellent with lots of food options and shopping. Myeongdong Station exit 10 entrance is about 20 steps away but if you have heavy luggages, there are quite a few stairs to climb. The room size is decent, there are enough space for 2 people to maneuver with luggages open. The only downside is the hotel is a bit dated but that can be overlooked as you spend most of the time outside. Will stay again in the future.

80’s 4.5 star hotel
It is very clean and in such a great location near subway and all the Myeoundong shopping but it is so stuck in the 80’s.
There's a skin care clinic on the second floor which was very convenient but they really upsell too much. No on is EVER at their restaurant. Service is fine and its super clean but I'm sure its been decades since it was a 4.5 star hotel

Hotel location is very convenient for shopping eating and also near the train station.
Only thing about the hotel that I didnt like is room is too dark. They don't have enough light to make the room brighter. Also when I checked in TV and AC was not working and had to wait for technician..... I guess they don't check the room properly before checking people in.

Good thing about this hotel is it was right in the middle of Myeongdong which made very convenient for shopping and dining, everything was walkable distance. Hotel lobby is very big and clean. One thing I didn't like about the hotel is when we got there some of the circuit was out so we had no AC and TV for awhile until technician came. It would have been nicer if they checked the room before letting customer in.

Good location and easy to walk around to Myeongdong and Cable Car Station, good view of my room facing Seoul Tower. Room condition is really old, bathroom door and bathtub are not well maintained, but shower pressure was good. Staffs are very nice too!
