Daeyoung Hotel Myeongdong

First of all, the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. There was no language barrier even though we don’t speak Korean beyond “hello” and “thank you”. The location is very convenient, we were able to reach the most famous landmarks on foot (but if you don’t want to do that, there is a subway station very close to the hotel and Seoul Station is just one stop away which makes the commute to the airport very convenient). The rooms are well equipped (above the standard, we got way more amenities than in any other hotel we visited) and very clean. Also, there is a nice common space where you can sit and have coffee in the morning. Hotel WiFi worked smoothly. What I liked was that right behind the door to the room there is a small space to leave your outdoor shoes. It made us feel more at home as this is how we roll in our country as well.

Good size twin bed room for my daughter and I. Good water pressure in shower after a big day out. We didn’t have loads of luggage so worked for us. Staff were always helpful and friendly.

Really really comfortable bed and pillow. Strategic location - walking distance to Myeongdong and Namdaemun; Seoul station is just one stop away; Shinsegae mall, Lotte mall are nearby. Room got window, ventilation is good. Room is quite spacious. Floor is warm.

Value for money no frill clean accommodation. Good heating system to keep us warm in winter. Both staff in night and morning shift are friendly and helpful. I am thankful to the lady staff doing the morning shift at the reception. She went the extra miles to help us secure advance transportation booking to pick us from the hotel early in the morning at 4.30am on eve of Seollal new year. Due to last min change in train timing given by booking agent, we were placed in a situation where there is no metro train early in the morning for us to take to Seoul Station. And we are at risk of not able to get a taxi at 4.30am on eve of Seollal. My 80 years old mother can't walk long distance and I don't want to risk making her walk 20mins in the cold winter. The lady reception understands the situation I am facing and went all out to look for transportation solution for our family so that my mum don't have to walk 20mins to Seoul Station. I didn't manage to get the name of the lady but I just want to say Thank you to you.

The location is amazing, and the staff are the nicest: such responsive and friendly people! Last year we stayed here, and as we liked it so much, coming back home, made a reservation for the next year immediately! And this year too it came up to our expectations!
