Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Myeong-dong Seoul|0.77km from Sungnyemun Gate

Latest booking 24 hrs ago

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.

Myeong-dong Seoul|0.18km from Sungnyemun Gate
We stayed here for a 7 night trip to Seoul as it was our first time in the city. The location was perfect: small market area behind it with restaurants, convenient store right around the corner with everything you’d need, and multiple train stations within 10 min walking distance. Compared to other hotels we stayed at for the remainder of our trip, this hotel definitely had the best location. City hall is about a 10-15 minute walk and there’s other restaurants/attractions along the way such as a nice palace. I had seen reviews about protests occurring nearby due to close proximity of city hall, but we personally didn’t see any. The staff at the hotel was SUPER nice and helpful. Any time we’d need a taxi they would be more than eager to help us. The woman working at the gym was also very kind in helping me with room requests unrelated to the gym, which was very nice of her. The gym is clean and decently spacious for a hotel gym. The spas are separated by male and female but it was one of my favorite parts about the stay- there’s a hot tub, cold bath, sauna, and pampering area. We had breakfast at the restaurant numerous times because it was much better than your typical hotel breakfast- I recommend trying it atleast once (roughly 20 usd per person). May be worth it to add the breakfast package if possible when booking. The room itself was small, but manageable for a trip where you’re typically out doing things anyways. Even though our room faced the street, we never heard the commotion of the street at all, nor did we ever hear others on our hotel floor. Overall I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong

Myeong-dong Seoul|1.01km from Sungnyemun Gate
Right where all the action of Myeong-dong street market is! Staff were helpful. Able to store luggage at the lobby before check-in and after check out. Toilets are equipped with smart bidet (yay! with seat warmer!!!! so nice in cold weather). Room is clean, though looked a lil rundown, but still acceptable, given that we were mostly out. Halal food available at the street market too (The halal lamb skewer was the best I've had)! The strawberries, grapes that tasted like sweet jellly, (its a no wonder SG markets sells them soo expensive!) On weekdays, street market starts at 5pm, on weekend, it starts by afternoon. Apart from street markets, Lotte store is within walking distance for those who wishes to spend on the higher end products. Not to forget, Olive Young is all the rage there, especially during their sale for that Korean glass skincare! Managed to snag some Kpop items for kids back home. The light sticks were way cheaper than in Singapore, and there were so many merch and photocards available. Even the lomo cards are nice! The airport transfer bus is within walking distance from the hotel. The bus will stop at a few hotels within the area to pick up passengers heading along the way or towards airport. We took the airport transfer bus on a weekend to Incheon Airport Terminal 1. It cost 17000 won/per pax. Journey took nearly 2hrs, considering the weekend traffic at noon. Can't wait to visit again!

Convenient location within walking distance of Seoul Station. It is very good to be able to move based in Seoul Station on travel and business.

The location is good, the bathroom is well maintained, and it's okay. What was disappointing was that there was nothing to wash your face with.. There was hand wash, but I didn’t bother… ? Other than that, please at least give me some soap… I washed my face with body shower… And the soundproofing isn't very good... I can hear too much noise. The bathroom door kept sliding open, so I had to prop up my towel when using it inside?

We were offered to stay in a hotel nearby. He was very good. In general, the area near the station is calm, the walk takes 5-7 minutes. You can leave your suitcases at the reception for free.

Our two nights stay overall experience was great. However, Check-in was confusing. Guy at Front Desk asked for deposit straight up before getting my passport. Cannot add bonvoy points/stay cause booking from trip.com Inform me that breakfast is long queue every morning after 830am. Given me a bag of goodies. Room allocated on 12th floor (22th floor is highest floor for rooms) mid level facing city roundabout Room was clean, quiet spacious and satisfactory. Breakfast provided good selection, fresh ingredients. nice view overlooking city Location wise is great centre of Seoul going to places is less than an hour. One concerns are Front Desk staff attitude can be improve in terms of being more friendly Compliments At ur service operator give me 1pm Late checkout upon request as I'm catching a later flight Breakfast team very well team holding breakfast queues and crowd. Feel like service at restaurant are professional and well taken care of. 24th to 26th Nov couple stay/mention in comments honeymoon from Singapore first time King bed

The room was slightly smelly the day i check-in, but there’s a quality air fresher spray for clothes and room, pretty nice. The trainee speaks fluent English, the service is excellent. Got CU convenience store and Starbucks on ground floor, pretty nice. But the location- to the closest subway (Hoehyeon), you have to cross underground, not really friendly for carrying luggage.
