Namsan Forest in Myeongdong

Great location!! Friendly staff!!!

Not recommend, overall bad

I really enjoyed my stay here. The location was excellent and made it very easy to get around Seoul, especially with how convenient it was to access different parts of the city from Myeongdong. The room was spacious and comfortable. One thing that surprised me was the bathroom layout, where the shower was integrated into the sink area. As an American-style traveler, I wasn't used to that setup, but I assume it was designed as a space-saving solution. The receptionist was absolutely wonderful and spoke excellent English, which made communication effortless. She was always friendly and helpful throughout my stay. My only significant concern was the air conditioner. When I turned it on, I noticed a large amount of mold buildup inside the unit. It appeared as though it had not been cleaned in a very long time. Since mold can be a health concern, I chose not to use the air conditioning during my stay. I believe this is something the hotel should address, as blowing air through a moldy unit could potentially affect guests' health. Aside from that, everything else was great. I especially appreciated the basement facilities, which included a dining area, laundry machines, and even a station for cleaning shoes. I found these amenities extremely useful and thoughtful. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would gladly stay here again if the air conditioning maintenance issue were resolved.

Nothing to like

As a family of 5, we needed 3 beds, and our room had 3. The room does not have sheets, and the a/c unit worked hard to stay cool, but it took a while to cool down. Good location for walking distance to Myeongdong Market area. Shower and restroom are one room, so you must put your dry clothes in the cabinet above the toilet to keep them dry. Interesting experience for our American family.
