Hotel Midcity Myeongdong

Location , staff , cleanliness and rooftop garden

Nothing

The location makes this hotel a real gem. Right in the middle between Myeong-dong market, Namdaemun market and the palace, makes it wonderful for travelling on foot and enjoying the sites. the room itself can be darkend so efficiently, I slept like a baby every night (I was there for 5 nights), no noise or disruptions. Also a quick trip to the subway for the rest. The rooms are clean and the hotel is clean, with friendly staff, and no overcrowded elevators like I had in other hotels in Seoul. There is a laundry room, with coins machine and laundry soap and iron, and dryers, which is cool, and lockers storage room, there's a jym but I didn't go. Nearby if you struggle with the local cuisine, you have a McDonald's, and a decent pizza that are open till late.

The support beam in the middle of the room was annoying The breakfast was good, had some variety and was fresh but for some reason felt gloomy. I guess maybe the lighting, or choice of furniture for the room, which also a bar in the evenings, I think.

The people, the breakfast team, the location and value for the money

Nothing

Great location and fantastic breakfast a mix of western and Korean food. The latter was amazing, didn’t think I would like noodles for breakfast.

Our room was a corner room with a pillar in the middle it’s a room not suitable for more than one traveller. About 2ft from the pillar and the wall and it’s right up against the bed. We were too jet lagged to complain. The toilet door is also the shower door. Not comfortable unless you’re married to the person you’re staying with.
