Independent Myeongdong hotels in Seoul, South Korea

I would definitely recommend this hotel and I plan to stay again next time I am in Seoul!!

A very homely stay. There are some wear and tear on the doors, hinges, window, and if you can get pass that for the price of the stay convenience to train and shopping areas, all these things are easily overlooked. What i liked about the location about this place as well is that it is surrounded by printing stores that prints 24-7. This lit up the pathway to the hotel. Great restaurants near the hotel (1 min walk!) that serves delicious CHICKEN!! and BBQ pork/beef. 7-11 and GS25 convenient stores are really near as well (2 min walk!). Staff was friendly. Appreciated the local breakfasts and treatment.

The size of the room is acceptable for 3 of us. The only demerit pt is no window in our room.

I was in Seoul recently and stayed at Hotel Prince Myeongdong. I was so glad that I found Hotel Prince through Expedia. The hotel is excellent in location, cleaniness and hotel staffs. I arrived Hotel Prince early in the morning straight from Incheon airport. I was informed by the reception that the checkin time is 3pm. I asked the reception if I can get atleast 1 room first however cause we had a long flight ands was travelling with my elderly parents. With regrets i was then informed that the hotel is fully booked. At the same time, the staff had showed us the executive lounge for us to rest while waiting for our room as we are too tired to start our day. After about an hour of waiting, the hotel staff once again approached us and this time with a very good news. She have a room ready for us as there is guest that checked out early. Even though she managed to get for us only 1 room first, we really appreciate that as we will be able to rest for a while before our holiday starts. The room is very very clean. From the bed to the bathroom. The hotel location is also superb. The shopping starts.just across the hotel. From bakery to coffee, 7 eleven store and the shopping heaven of Myeongdong is a stone throw away. Hotel staff can speaks english and that make our stay even more pleasant. Overall i can that i will definately come back and also recommend to people out there travelling to Seoul..

This hotel has a great central location which means you're in walking distance of many of Seoul's best sights. I could easily walk to Namdaemun, Namdaemun Market, City Hall and the palaces. My room had a great view of Namsan Park and the N Seoul Tower. There were lots of amenities on the doorstep with a plethora of food options. The subway was also very close by to the hotel. The staff were very pleasant and polite, and couldn't be more helpful. I will definitely choose this hotel again when I go to Seoul as it was very comfortable and as a lone woman traveller that was important to me.

Nice staff clean&comfortable hotel close to Myeongdong market(walk ~5min)

Myeongdong is just downstairs. But room too small. Deluxe room for 3 can't even fit our Luggages.

Vestin Residence has been remodeled and renamed Vestin Villa. when i went on my trip in the beginning of Jan, they had just re-opened 2 weeks prior. Everything was brand new. it even still smelled new. rooms are small, true, but we didnt care because we had everything we needed in our room, and we were only there in the evening. very warm rooms, heated floors. Beds were a bit hard for our taste, but that wasnt the only hotel in Korea that had hard beds.Restrooms are not see-thru, but it is a combo w/shower. there are n our floor had a sink and stove, and a water cooler..they even had a pan and utinsels you could borrow to cook with. Free breakfast which mostly consisted of sweet breads, but also peanut butter and jelly, which i love, so i was happy, and grateful for that because korea's not much on breakfast food. There's also 2 washers available to use, with complimentary laundry detergent. The staff here was amazing!! They were super friendly and helpful..as a matter of fact on our first day of arrival, one of the staff members actually walked us to myeongdong markets to the restaurant we wanted to eat at. super helpful. Vestin villa is across the street from myeongdong markets, however, keep in mind that part of town has steep hills and small, windy streets. so, really, from hotel door to the markets is a steep 5 minute walk, but its well worth it to have such a cozy and inexpensive place to stay. would stay there again!
