Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

City Hall/Myeong-Dong Seoul|0.85km from Insa-dong
Stayed at the Lotte Executive Tower just after the holidays, in a Premier Double Room. Pros: - The entrance of the Executive Tower is absolutely beautiful. Same with the Main Tower. Elegant, refined, beautiful art work. The executive tower check-in desks are on the 15th floor. - Easy access by escalator directly into the Lotte Department Store (from where the escalator takes you to, hang a right to get to the famous food hall!) - Location can’t be beat. Directly across from Eujiro Station (1) and around the corner from Myeong-Dong Walking Street / Night Market and several 7-11s (which are almost as good as the 7-11s in Japan). - Our room was beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Very modern touches and upscale finishes. A chandelier in the bathroom?? - Immaculate housekeeping. - Excellent temperature and very strong water pressure in the shower! - Appreciate the 2 complimentary bottles of Evian every day. - Fast wifi speeds. Cons: - Love the Diptyque toiletries but wish they weren’t the communal / shared bottles. There were bits of dried lotion crusted on the pump from the previous occupant. - Weird that neither lobby had a single chair to sit on. What’s up with that? Comes off a bit inhospitable. This isn’t the type of place to attract non-guests / loiterers. A bench wouldn’t kill anyone! - For a 5* hotel and the price we’re paying, it’s disappointing that there is a surcharge should you need a toothbrush, toothpaste or use of the sauna (!!). They claim the charge for toothbrush and paste is to prevent wastage but surely you could just have these small items available upon request at the front desk? - The doormen’s manners range from formal and friendly (some) to indifferent (most) to downright hostile (many), especially if you are not a Korean speaker, as many don’t speak English. I’m not arrogant enough to think they should speak English in a non-English speaking country, but a smile is universal, you know? Would likely stay here again at the right price and given the location.

Hotel Kuretakeso Insadong
4.2/5128 Reviews
Jongro / Insadong
I was in a hurry to notice that I lost my credit card in Myeongdong, but the front desk kindly responded in Japanese. There was no illegal use and it was safe. Thank you very much. This hotel is close to Kushiro 3-ga Station, so it is a 5 book from Gimpo Airport on Line 1 and it is compact but I like it because it is a room with a bathtub.
N285 Hotel Insadong
4.3/586 Reviews
Jongro / Insadong
There is a window view, live opposite to Nanshan Tower The room is clean and the air conditioner can be adjusted to be cool enough/cold The toilet is too thin to be separated from wet and dry, only towels can be dried There are 2 bottles of water per day, towels and other supplies will be changed every day Can take more water, but will be read by the uncle at the counter (being skewered) You can't order fried chicken on your behalf, you have to install an app for delivery first The location is close to Jongno 3rd Street/Anguk Station, and there are elevator exits It takes a while to pull the luggage, but it's stable and accessible cost-effective
Orakai Insadong Suites
4.5/553 Reviews
Jongro / Insadong
Three rooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a closet. The apartment is spacious, bright and comfortable! All cupboard supplies are available! This short stay life is very convenient! The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the surrounding commercial streets! There are also many restaurants, and there are day and night shops opposite the gate! OK
Sunbee Hotel Insadong Seoul
4.6/5120 Reviews
Jongro / Insadong
This little hotel was very clean and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. They spoke English! There is an elevator and there were lots of tourist brochures in the lobby. I reserved the ”Korean style” room. The Korean touches were window screens and a table on the floor. The window opened for fresh air. I was there in March, so I don't need aircon, but the temperature of the room was comfortable. The bathroom was a lot nicer than I expected - very roomy. My room had plenty of room and a comfortable bed. It was a great value for the money. I would stay here again. The only negative was that it was a little bit hard for taxis to find, so ask the front desk for a business card with instructions on it to show to taxi drivers. The location is otherwise very good - centrally located and felt safe.
AMID HOTEL SEOUL
4.5/5244 Reviews
Jongro / Insadong
The location of the hotel is walking distance to insadong street with lots of food and shops. You can also walk to the famous temple and wear the hanbok there. There were also bars nearby. The reception was under construction at the time of our visit but despite that, they have placed signages to guide their guests and they maintained cleanliness. The staff are also very accomodating.
Daljee Guesthouse
4.4/515 Reviews
Jongro / Insadong
Location: 1 to 2 minutes walk from the station, easy to find. There are two convenience stores nearby, which was very helpful. Service: First of all, the receptionists (both women and men) were kind and polite. When you check in, you will receive a paper with instructions, but all of them are in Japanese and easy to understand. Cleanliness: There is a sense of cleanliness. However, during our consecutive stay, there was a large bee-like insect in the room, which was scary. (We ended up spending time together until the last day...lol) Amenities: There was shampoo and conditioner, but no toothbrushes, soap, etc. I always bring it with me so it wasn't a problem. Please return your towels each time in the basket next to the reception desk, and receive a new towel each time you return them. (Some hotels don't replace towels, so this system was helpful.) The towels were clean. Unfortunately, there was no refrigerator in the room. ●I was satisfied overall. For this price, you can get a convenience store near the station, a bathtub, and a feeling of cleanliness.
