3泊しましたがとても快適でした。明洞の中心にあるので、ちょっとした時間でも買い物や食事に出る事ができ、とても便利ですし、手前の道まではすごく賑やかなのですが、ホテルの前は明洞大聖堂になるので、急に落ち着いた雰囲気になり、夜も静かでした。ラウンジサービスがついており、21階の景色は素晴らしく、コーヒーも美味くカフェ代わりによく利用させて頂きました。 4人部屋でしたが、全員がキャリーケースを開く広さは十分にあり、過不足ありません。スタッフの方にもとても良くして頂きました。Uberでのタクシー配車がうまくいかず困っていたところ、スタッフのキムさんに助けて頂き、色々教えて頂き無事目的地に辿り着く事が出来ました。あえて難点をあげると、明洞駅から向かう際、あまりに人が多く、この中をキャリーケースを引いて歩くのかと、ちょっと躊躇したくらいで、他には思いあたらないです。本当に素晴らしい時間を過ごさせて頂きました。良い思い出をありがとう。

Being an English speaker it was very easy to communicate with the whole staff. From check in to dinning the cleaning staff and security. Perfect location for see all the sights near by Just steps away from shopping and night market. Everyone was kind and helpful. It felt very welcoming and safe. The breakfast buffet was great with wonderful views of the city. Great afternoon tea and light snacks. We were in town 10 days. Two of which were spent in Busan. They stored our extra luggage during that time until our return. Very convenient.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and the location was simply unbeatable. Right outside the front door are the bustling shopping streets of Myeongdong, and by night, the area truly comes to life. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to experience the lounge on the top floor this time, but it's definitely on our list for our next visit. The gym was well-equipped and a pleasure to use. One standout moment during our stay was when we were about to miss our KTX train, and no taxis were available. Three employees—MK Choy, St Lee, and Iw Hwang—went above and beyond to assist us. Their dedication was incredible, and the Operations Manager even drove half of our party to Seoul Station on his way home from work. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and exceptional service. These individuals deserve high praise, and I look forward to returning to this wonderful hotel!

Very impressed by this 4 star hotel and it was money well spent. The size of the room is spacious with 35sm for triple beds. Mattress and pillows were very comfortable for a good night’s sleep. Good quality toiletries were provided as well and housekeeping service was excellent. Concierge and front desk staff were eloquent in English which makes communication a breeze. The gym was well equipped and clean too.

I enjoyed the proximity to all that happens on the Walking Street. I was a bit disappointed when I walked into my room and noticed all of the stains on the carpet. I have to honestly say, that it put me off immediately. The staff were great. The room was cleaned daily. There were many guests staying at the hotel during my visit, which caused for longer waits to get an elevator.

We liked that it was near everything but also along the outskirt of Myeongdong strip, still easy access for taxi’s. The staff were overall very helpful and friendly. As it was still in the Myeongdong strip, it was not noisy at all from the rooms. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

I stayed here quite a few times alr. This time I recommend it to my family and we booked 5 rooms, however we took almost 3 hours to check-in, as the staff was unsure of the details and are not able to see our booking on their side. We could only have 2 bottled water a day as said by the front desk. Another thing is the staff was not very good at English, therefore we struggle when communicating. One of the staff/managers even showed attitude as we were at the front desk for long (But it was due to their side, where they cannot see our booking), the only way we solved is to call Expedia to tell the hotel about our booking, and they could find it after. Staff attitude was not very good only when we met with issues during check-in. Hope they can handle such problems better in the future with the right attitude

The housekeeping service was impeccable. We especially appreciated the warm welcome note left in the room.

Breakfast buffet selection was plentiful with both western and korean options (same options everyday) Staff were polite and helpful. Location is a bit harder for taxis to get to due to the high foot traffic in the area, it might take longer than usual for an uber but never had an issue finding one.

Royal Hotel Seoul is situated at a prime location smack right in Myeongdong shopping district. Shopping & dining options are wonderful with lots of options. Convenience is surely there! The only con is during weekends, taxis are not willing to pickup in this area as the human traffic jam is too much and too time consuming for them. So taking the public transport works better during weekends.
