Hwandogok Vacations from $910

The staff were all very friendly, kind, and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel itself is relatively old, especially the plumbing. My room was small, but it was a comfortable size for one person. I really appreciated having both a washer & dryer in the room, which made doing laundry convenient. The hotel also has a dedicated laundry floor if needed. There is a gym with a good selection of equipment and a decent amount of space. However, when I visited in June 2026, the A/C wasn't working, so it became quite hot inside. They had a door propped open to improve airflow, but it was still warm. One thing to note is that my hotel bathroom has a notice asking guests not to flush toilet paper, sanitary products, or any foreign objects because the older plumbing can clog easily. If you're from a Western country, disposing of used toilet paper in the provided trash bin instead of flushing it may feel unusual or unsanitary. The bathroom trash can is pretty small, so I had daily housekeeping to empty it, which helped. The bidet in my bathroom wasn't working, and neither was the electrical outlet in the bathroom. Overall, I think the hotel offers reasonable value for the price. However, there are several nearby hotels that cost only slightly more and may provide larger rooms, newer facilities, and plumbing that allows toilet paper which may be preferable if that's what you're accustomed to.

Great service from check in to checkout. Very short walk to the beach, shopping area, restaurants. Easy access to transportation stations. Highly recommended. Surely book again this hotel for another visit.

Convenient.. accessible to all

I had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely stay again. The location was excellent—close to shopping, restaurants, public transportation, and everything I wanted to see in Myeongdong. It made exploring Seoul so easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help whenever I had a question. I was lucky enough to be able to check in early after a long trip, which made such a difference and was greatly appreciated. After checkout, they also kindly held my luggage while I spent a few more hours exploring before heading out. That level of hospitality really made my stay even better. Overall, this hotel was an excellent value for the price. If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and comfortable place to stay in Myeongdong, I highly recommend it. Thank you for making my trip to Seoul such a great experience!
