Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

Great location, just cross the street to get to Myeongdong shopping street and night market. Subway station was also just a 5 min walk away. The Lotte shopping center was also across the street. The collection of stores there were only high end ones like Gucci but it did have a great food court downstairs. Btw, you can get to the food court by taking the underground shopping stairs right outside the hotel which enters directly into the food court. It was also great having a self serve laundry in the hotel although there were just 2 washers and 2 dryers which filled up a lot. The machines took only credit cards so no need to hassle with coins plus there's a machine to purchase laundry detergent and bounce dryer sheets as well also via credit card. We had a triple room and the strange thing is there was no drawers to store clothes so we had to use our suit case and the shelf in the closet. Individual bottles of water were also provided each day for free. To get to the hotel we used the airport K-limo bus which has a stop at the Westin across the street but if there are 3 or more of you take a taxi has it costs about the same or cheaper.

Overall, this is a good choice for staying in Myeongdong as it is just across the street from where the concentration of shops begin. The room we booked with two beds (one single and double bed) was a little tight for our group of 3 but we were still able to find space to lay out our 3 large luggages. The staff very are friendly and helpful. The check-in for me was a little confusing because the reception desk is not on the same floor as the main entrance and since I arrived late on the day of check in, I did not immediately know where to go. Normally there would be someone at the entrance bell desk, but because I arrived late, I guess they don't have anyone there at those later hours. It would help to have after hours signage. My only other complaint would be the gym. Although, I appreciate that they at least have one, the equipment was limited and dated. With everything said, I would still stay here again because of the location and friendly staff.

In a convenient location, and amenities were always provided. Convenience stores were a minute walk away. Overall a good experience

Great roams and great breakfast
