Top Itaewon-dong Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean room. The hallway was a little warm but we went in the summer so that is understandable, I do love being on the 3rd floor where the laundry room, gym and microwave are located. The area of the hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the heart of Myeongdong shopping so it was very convenient. And yet still very quiet. I would stay in this hotel again."

Lotte Hotel Seoul

Lotte Hotel Seoul

8/10 Good
"The hotel is centrally located with the Lotte shopping mall just downstairs. This is the second time we have stayed at the hotel and it is just amazing for convenience. I would say that its very expensive and we didn't opt for breakfast this time. We had to pay extra to use the traditional Korean spa so we didn't use it this time either."
