[2025 Seoul Stay] Travel Guide for New Seoul Hotel Myeongdong (Updated May)

The New Seoul Hotel near Gwanghwamun has been loved for 50 years since it opened in 1969! You can see a great view of downtown Seoul from the clean interior, and it is close to City Hall and Jongno, so you can walk to various tourist attractions in no time :) The fact that Cheonggyecheon is also 5 minutes away..! But what makes the New Seoul Hotel special is that the bakery on the first floor turns into a wine bar in the evening...🍷 And if you choose the 'Berdevin Wine Package' among the various food packages offered by the hotel, you will be provided with a bottle of red wine and a cheese plate to whet your appetite! How about a staycation in the heart of Seoul with a glass of wine, olives, and a bite of cheese?!

Gontran Cherrier is originally famous for its cafes and desserts, but it has recently started selling wine. I had the ricotta fruit set, chicken steak, and salad as side dishes, and it was a menu that went really well with wine. It is close to Cheonggyecheon and Gwanghwamun, so I highly recommend it to those who want to create a good atmosphere :) #SeoulTravel #ChristmasAtmosphere #ContranCherry #Christmas #ChristmasMarket #YearEndTravel #HoCance #Wine #WineRestaurant #Gwanghwamun #Winter #PleaseWinter #HotPlace #NextTimeHere

I introduced New Seoul Hotel as a hotel with easy access, but unlike other hotels, the hotel breakfast provides high-quality French toast, salad, and juice/Americano. In addition, they sell high-quality bread, and it is said that it is famous for its bread to the point that people from outside come to buy bread separately. For those who like bread, I recommend Gontran Cherrie located on the 1st floor of New Seoul Hotel! #SeoulTravel #SeoulHoCance #HotelBreakfast #Brunch #Winter #YearEndTravel #BreadPilgrimage #HoCance #Breakfast #FrenchToast #PleaseWinter #HotPlace #HotelRecommendation #ProEater

This time I came to Seoul for a free trip and stayed at the super surprising "New Seoul Hotel Myeongdong". The location is super convenient, right near the Myeongdong business district, and you can walk to Lotte Duty Free Shop, Cheonggyecheon Stream, and even Gyeongbokgung Palace. It is the perfect base for shopping and sightseeing! 💖 📍 Perfect location The hotel is located in the Central District, within walking distance of the subway station. There are many restaurants and convenience stores around, including McDonald's, so it's no problem to have a midnight snack! After shopping in Myeongdong, you can walk directly back to the hotel to put your spoils away, which saves a lot of time and effort. 🛏 The room is comfortable and clean Although it is a budget hotel, the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, the facilities are complete, and there is free Wi-Fi. We stayed in a standard twin room. The space was not big but sufficient. The most important thing was that the lighting was very good and the photos were great 📸! 💁 Thoughtful service The front desk had no problem communicating in English, was friendly, and check-in and check-out were quick. The most surprising thing is that the hotel also provides foreign currency exchange and luggage storage, which is super friendly to independent travelers. 💰 High CP value choice Compared to other hotels in Myeongdong that cost thousands of dollars, the price here is affordable without compromising on quality. It is especially suitable for those who have a limited budget but do not want to sacrifice convenience! #Seoul Hotel

#SeoulHotel The hotel we stayed at this time was Lotte City Hotel Mapo in Seoul. This hotel is located near Gongdeok Station in Mapo District, Seoul, with extremely convenient transportation. It is directly connected to Subway Line 5, Line 6, Gyeongui Central Line and Airport Railway, suitable for business or tourism travelers. The hotel is located next to the exit of Gongdeok Station and can be reached directly by taking the Airport Express from Incheon or Gimpo Airport without having to transfer. There is also a Lotte Mart nearby, which makes shopping convenient. It is also only a 10-15 minute drive from popular areas such as Hongdae and Yeouido. The room was comfortable and modern in design, equipped with a comfortable bed (such as an extra-thick mattress and duvet), free Wi-Fi, separate bathtub and shower facilities, and basic amenities such as a hairdryer, which gave me a good night's sleep. The room was clean and tidy. The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, fitness center and 24-hour business center. Self-service laundry machines are also very popular. Breakfast at Naru restaurant offers a Western buffet with rich choices and good taste. The service staff are generally friendly and support multi-language communication (such as English and Japanese).

Address: 52 Myeongdong 2-gil, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea highly recommend to try both their fried chicken and ginseng chicken soup (normal soup / sesame soup based). I had their sesame soup based, it is very refreshing and new taste. even locals were inside eating! they have other outlets if I'm not wrong. #koreandish #koreanfood #friedchicken #localguides

I am honored to share my experience staying in a twin room at the New Seoul Hotel. Firstly, the hotel is located in the bustling area of Seoul, with convenient transportation, and there are many shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. This made my trip much more convenient, as I could easily explore the charms of the city. Secondly, the room was well-equipped, elegantly decorated, and the beds were comfortable. I particularly liked the view from the room's window, which overlooked the cityscape, allowing me to feel the unique charm of Seoul. Lastly, I want to praise the hotel's service. The staff were kind and friendly, eager to help, making me feel at home. Whether it was providing travel advice or solving problems, they were able to respond promptly and effectively. Overall, my stay in the twin room at the New Seoul Hotel was very pleasant. The comfortable environment, convenient location, and excellent service filled my journey with wonderful memories. I look forward to staying at this hotel again and recommend it to other travelers.

Firstly, good location, less than 10min walk from City hall station, while there are also a few other stations which are not too far away. Walking distance to Myeongdong and to Insadong (20min). The Cheong yeongcheon stream is just around the corner. Secondly, amenities are comprehensive with bidet, water kettle, fridge and hair dryer. But fridge was very noisy so we turned it off. Bed is comfortable, I would have wished only that I have one more pillows (instead of only one). Didn't pay extra for breakfast since we preferred to eat out.
