We had a pleasant stay at Metro Hotel Myeongdong. The location is excellent — right in the heart of Myeongdong and only about a 2-minute walk from the train station, which makes it super convenient for getting around Seoul. The room is a little small, but it’s clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, it’s a great choice if you want convenience and easy access to shopping and food in the area. Would definitely consider staying here again for short trips!

Location was excellent, right in the heart of Myeongdong. Also near public transport. Staff were very polite. Only things we didn’t like were the price compared to other hotels being high, and bathroom was not well cleaned on a daily basis.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The second floor was amazing. There was an eating and lounging area. There was a seperate door to go through and that area of the hotel was for families. There was even a small kitchen and play place for kids. Great for the patents and great for kids. Totally separated from the rest of the hotel. And the food and shopping nearby is crazy !!! Hundreds upon hundreds of places to choose from.

Location was perfect, I wasn't aware at the time of booking but there's a night market at your doorstep when staying here, hundreds of street vendors and a very lively atmosphere. It was great being out all day and coming back to the hotel knowing that there was still going to be plenty of things to do and eat within walking distance.
