Hongcheon Vacations from $1,369

Good location in Myeong-dong. 15-20 minute walking distance to Seoul station. Taxi/Uber doesn't want to drive that short distance. The hotel staff didn't offer any help to deal with unexpected travel frustration.

Clean and simple. Not a super personal place, staff are there but not super interactive. Overall a fine place to stay.

We had a great stay here! The room was small, but the prime location made up for that. We were not in our rooms a lot and the location made it so convenient to put our bags down and go back out. The staff were excellent and the washing/drying service was amazing! We would definitely stay here again! One feedback was that our room was not ready by check-in time and we had to wait 30 minutes with our luggage for our room to be finished. It wasn’t too bad because other than that our experience here was perfect.

Rooms were a lot bigger then others in Seoul. Beautiful, lots of space, comfy beds. The property was fantastic. No plug ins by the beds though! The breakfast wasn't included and it was pretty expensive but a very extensive buffet.

This hotel was adequate, but it has so much potential to be excellent if the rooms could be updated! The location is great - really close to train stations as well as the oldest street market in Seoul. Staff was very good; they helped us get taxis a few times within minutes (taxis are very cheap in Seoul). And they clean the room and provide water bottles daily. The wifi worked well, the AC was cold, and there were USB and two-pronged outlets compatible with US devices. There's a big old converter in the closet if you need to plug in a grounded three-pronged device. However, the rooms are older. Upon getting off the elevator on our 6th floor, you are greeted with a door to a storage room with peeling paint. The carpet is old. It seemed clean, just clearly old and worn. They attempted a few low-budget updates to the bathroom like newer wall tiles, but a few tiles were loose and needed grout or caulk. The sink was the lowest sink I've seen anywhere. Maybe we got a handicap-accessible room (I don't think it was), but I placed and sat down on a chair in front of the sink which made it about the right height for me ;-). All of this was fine and acceptable, but the biggest challenge was the old beds that were not comfortable. You can clearly see that the beds slope to the middle and it feels like it. Overall, it was a great location and clean room, but really just ok because of the age of the property and lack of updates, especially the beds.
