LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong

Quiet end of Myeongdong. The 6015 airport bus drops you off right across the street. Rooms are on the smaller size . Front desk and doorman are very professional and accommodating. There is coin laundry and a gym and a small convenience store on the lower level. 15 min walk to the shops and tourist areas . The buffet has a good mix of American continental and Korean .

Nice city hotel in a great location. The staff were friendly and helpful. You can easily reach it from ICN Airport via the 6015 limousine bus. Breakfast was good, though not significantly better than other hotels I’ve stayed at in Korea. The room was a bit dated but clean; however, I’m not a fan of the carpet—it felt a bit unpleasant. The shower pressure was excellent. The hotel is very close to a lively university bar area in Jongno, which is great for exploring local street food culture and experiencing an authentic local vibe.

We stayed here for our first three nights in Seoul. Very clean and lovely staff. Facilities are great too. The laundry and dryer area is very useful and the gym is sufficient too. The attached 7/11 is very convenient too! Located well and only fault I can think is the rooms were a little smaller than we hoped. Would recommend for a 4 star stay for a few nights!

I was really looking forward to staying in a Lotte hotel but I didn’t realise that a bit like the Marriott and the ‘Fairfield Marriott’, the Lotte City is the poor relation of the Lotte. Yeh, it’s expensive but you are paying for the location not the luxury. And you will get a perfectly clean room (dated and in need of a bit of refurbishment) but with an excellent breakfast and a good laundry room. Sadly it is lacking in many other ways. You are processed. Little things were annoying. At breakfast there was a very nice filter coffee jug which contained good coffee and avoided the need to queue at the very busy coffee machine. But each morning when the jug ran out, it was not refilled. On my last morning I asked the attendant could she refill it, and she said that ‘it wasn’t possible’. |The double bed was too small and I had to sleep at the foot end of the bed as there wasn’t room for both of us. (In fairness I could have approached the desk and asked for a different room but after my first night I had already unpacked).|All in all, this is a very central, clean hotel with the loviest concierge. But don’t expect anything special.

Bad Booked a Superior Twin Room but was smaller than expected. Upgraded to a slightly bigger room, but there was construction noise. Moved again - staff waived the upgrade fee due to the hassle. Subpar facilities • faulty toilet doors. Can’t close properly in all 3 rooms we were in & will keep sliding close when left open • stains on toilet bowl’s exterior & thin toilet paper • shower inside a bathtub which I personally alr don’t like. Clogged shower drain on our last night. • loose power socket, can’t charge phone properly. • air-con panel not very responsive • no toothbrushes (environmental reasons) - have to buy from 7-11 downstairs • slow lifts - We arrived in the morning expecting to wait to check-in at 3pm but they allowed early check-in if we signed up for their free membership. Friendly staff & good location (next to 7-11, close to Myeongdong Street). Feels more like a 2–3 star hotel. Won’t stay here again.

Good location. Popular with tourists and locals. Only complaint is when it's busy, lifts take longer to arrive. First time checking in encountered 2 Indian tourists in lift with uncovered food dishes in hand. Unpleasant. Drinking water a bottle a day replenished.

It's clean and comfortable. The self-service laundry is very much welcome given our long stay. Gym equipment is bare minimal, don't waste your time. The most frustrating part of the stay is the lift! The logic/algorithm behind the lift is seriously messed up, resulting in long long long wait any time of the day. Didn't book with breakfast, many cheap and good options nearby the hotel instead.
