Hourglass Park

Clean room and helpful staff with good location.

Centrally located within Seoul in Myeongdong, but just outside (essentially one block removed) of all the action so it is much more quieter and a significant positive for me. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. Highly recommend having the buffet at least once on your visit. Hotel is conveniently located next to the subway so it is extremely easy and accessible to get around every major neighborhood. It is also walking distance to Seoul Station, but I would recommend taking a cab/taxi/Uber for convenience as the area is generally within a major node for traffic.

The hotel is a bit worn and lacking amenities other than a smallish fitness centre. But is reasonably priced so if you really just want a decent bedroom, it’s fine. It is 26 floors high with just three elevators so waiting time can be quite long. Staff are really nice and helpful
