"Our family really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. One of the biggest advantages was its convenient location, with plenty of nearby places to explore. After spending over six hours on a plane, we especially appreciated the warm welcome from the staff. The hotel was clean, and we loved the room layout and extra space. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for our family, especially with boys, without ever feeling cramped. We also appreciated the modern design, which made us feel right at home. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of options, ensuring there was something everyone in our family could enjoy. Lastly, the front desk staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and truly appreciated the hotel's comfort, convenience, modern atmosphere, and family-friendly accommodations.

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Very kind , clean , good breakfast."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Very central to everything Myegondong had to offer. The room was spacious and very quite. The coffee spot was good but could have been stocked with more coffee and sugar (l coffee and 1 sugar per person) and no milk. The hotel did not have a bar or a restaurant only a breakfast room and you could get a sandwich,cake and coffee in the afternoon. Dropping off was ok as long as it was prior to 10am but pick up was quite a way, particularly when you have mobility issues and staff only help with the luggage to the foyer."
