Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong

The room was quite large and had a kitchen and washing machine. The bathroom though was small but manageable. The location was in the center and was walking distance to Myeondong Shopping area. The staff of the hotel was also helpful and assisted us for early morning travel to the airport. I would recommend this to those traveling to Seoul if you want to stay in the center of the city. Not to mention that the location of the hotel is near the subway.

The room was spacious enough for three people, everything was very clean and practical (fridge, microwave, sink, etc.)w The localisation between Myeongdong and Chungmuro was perfect and just in front of the Namsan parc, near the Hanok too. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. I can only highly recommend the place!

Phenomenal hotel, highly recommend!! The hotel room was a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. It had a full kitchen with a big sink, gas stove, full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, with dishes and cookware provided. There was a dining table with chairs, and a living area with a couch, coffee table, and TV. The bathroom was large, the shower had cold and hot water with strong water pressure. The bedroom was big with a comfortable bed. There were blackout curtains throughout the apartment. There was a balcony with a free laundry machine that has the function of a washer and dryer in one. As a note, it took 5 hours to wash, 3 hours to dry, and the laundry machine door wouldn't open until the machine completely cooled down. So I recommend doing your laundry a day or two before you leave! Or if you prefer, they have shared laundry machines for 3000 won to wash and 3000 won to dry, credit card only (about $4.50 USD total for one load). There was an AC unit in the living room and bedroom, but the living room AC was so strong that it cooled the whole apartment and we never used the bedroom one! The wifi in the apartment was great, and there's free wifi in the lobby too. The location of the hotel was exceptional. The back entrance was an alley full of local mom and pop restaurants with authentic Korean dishes. There were two convenience stores at the end of the alley, lots of coffee shops, and a bank with an international world ATM. The metro and bus stops are right there too. Also the hotel is in walking distance or 1 metro/bus stop away from Myeongdong Street which is full of the best street food in Seoul and stores for shopping.

Excellent front desk service. Helpful & friendly staff who went all the way to assist us in finding out out transport options to other cities. Able to keep our luggage there for a few days eve though we were not going back to stay there upon our return to Seoul. Fully equipped Kitchenette in the room was a bonus. Had an excellent Dyson fan for colder nights. Hotel environmentally friendly. Gets guests to sort pit waste.
