What guests think

Across many recent reviews, L'Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong is praised for its distinctive French-inspired style, spacious quiet rooms, and an exceptionally convenient location steps from the subway and close to Myeongdong and Namdaemun markets.

Service is widely described as warm, professional and helpful, with swift assistance and occasional complimentary upgrades. Breakfast and the club lounge (snacks and happy hour) earn frequent praise, though some guests found menu variety repetitive or bar prices high. Common quirks include dim lighting and tricky in-room controls, intermittent water-pressure or temperature issues, occasional wear or housekeeping misses, and a signature perfume some find too strong. Expect a stylish, central boutique stay with mostly excellent service and comfort.

The room was very spacious and the interior is very luxurious. The breakfast was nice and the 'happy hour' was very generous. However given he cost and star level of the hotel I would expect improved amenities. The towels were a little small and there was only one set of sockets by the bed to charge devices. Despite two TVs in the room there was no English speaking channels or access to apps. Compared to other hotels at this levels it was slightly lacking.

Huge room with really nice decor. The happy hour and breakfast provided as part of lounge access was excellent, worth the extra cost. Service was great, I asked for iron and ironing board and they were at my door in a couple minutes. The only down side is that they had this huge bath tub but didn’t provide any soup or bath salts. The only soap was mounted to the wall in the shower. The gym was not huge but had enough equipment to get a good workout.

We really enjoyed our stay at L’Escape Hotel. We upgraded our room to a suite which was spacious and well appointed. The club floor amenities included a buffet breakfast that had a wide array of options to select from. including both Asian and western inspired choices as well as made to order dishes. There was also a snack time offering and a happy hour which included premium beverages and a plentiful choice of food options. The staff in the club lounge were terrific, always with a smiling face and a warm welcome. The arranged transportation by the hotel to and from the airport was excellent. We look forward to returning on our next visit.

お部屋は広くて使いやすく、快適に過ごせました。日本人の宿泊客が少なく落ち着いた雰囲気です。歯ブラシは有料です。フィットネスの営業時間が案内に記載されていましたが、いつ行っても閉まってました。「ヘイジーニー」で電気やテレビの操作ができて便利でした。朝食はエッグステーションがありましたが、スタッフが常駐しているわけではないようです。2日間利用しましたが、メニューは全く同じ内容で品数は少なく、日本食はありません。接客はとても感じが良く、気持ちよく滞在できました。

The hotel is beautifully decorated and at a wonderful location close to the sought after tourist spots. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed the variety. One thing of note was that upon requesting some ice, I was asked to pay a minimal fee. In all my stays at luxury hotels, I cannot recall being charged for ice. I am not sure if there is something particular about ice here but you may consider providing this as a complimentary amenity to your guests as I felt a bit embarrassed for the staff and frankly it cheapens the overall experience.

The building is nicely designed but not properly maintained, The rooms and property is nicely decorated and the staff are kind and trained . the location is convenient and close to everything In room experience was poor, our fridge in the room was broken and the in room bar was also removed before hand, there was plenty of stains on the furnitures and the daily cleaning simply didn’t clean the bathroom properly, Also there not much view and you have to close the blinds if you need privacy, there is a very close building to the hotel and mostly you have visitors everyday

Wonderful hotel. Beautifully decorated, immaculate, quiet — everything I wanted. The only small niggle was the room lighting, while perfectly suited to the hotel’s rich and atmospheric style, was a little dim when I wanted brighter light. The location is superb, with metro and bus stops just a couple of minutes away, and Myeongdong shopping even closer.

2nd time staying at this property. Love the breakfasts here. However the cleaning staff needs to be more cautious about # of towels required in the room. The genie system was also difficult to use — nothing worked apart from the curtains. Shower room also leaked easily. Would also be better if it could be possible to switch off one side of the bedside lamps rather than always have both on / off simultaneously.

The hotel employees will not help you with your bags. We had to find our room and take our bags up to the room ourselves! They will not help you get a taxi! Asking questions about where to eat or visit was answered with “ many places outside”. They had us sign a paper that we are not allowed to bring any food of any kind up to our room or we will be charged for it. The service in this hotel is the worst service that we have received in any country we have ever stayed!! DO NOT STAY in Le Escape in Seoul Korea!!! Unless you want to be treated like a piece of crap!!! For the price of this hotel we wonder why the service is so BAD!!!

I really enjoyed the hotel's style. Most of the staff are amazing and do a great job of making foreign people feel welcome. The room was extremely beautiful and spacious. Housekeeping did a great job resetting the room. However, the price of the hotel is on the more expensive side. This was to be expected. However, I had a very petty issue with the morning breakfast. The morning breakfast is around 55,000 KRW or just under 40 US. For this price, I did not expect to be asked to put my unopened soda back into the cafeteria. That is a little petty. Instead, they want you to buy another soda from your in-room mini-bar. This dependency on small profits made me give them a 4-star rating instead of 5. However, the other services, such as in-room dining, were awesome. Also, the area is located in a very well-traveled marketplace where you can get all your souvenirs. It is also attached to a police station. I don't know how anyone could feel more safe. Also, dont be scared to take a soak in your clawfoot tub. It's worth it!

Paris meets technology. “Hey, Genie” will open curtains, turn off lights and lots more. I could request extra water (free), towels, vanity kit, sewing kit and more. This hotel features lots of French decorations. Even elevator announcements were in Korean and French. This hotel offered super quiet nights ever. I love the location since it’s near Namdaemoon market 남대문, Myoung dong and unseating all within walking distance. Hotel maybe small but it offered and located in perfect place for my trip. Also staff are friendly and I can just push a bottom for make room. It can’t get any better than that. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to visit myoung dong to stay here.

The decoration of hotel is very nice. Friendly staff. Spacious room. However, getting to the hotel was a bit challenging since it’s in the middle of a road with complicated traffic and no pedestrian walkways top of a hill. In one day of time I almost got hit by cars twice. Not the safest place to travel especially with luggage. There is an escalator to get to the hotel entrance from the police station but it was not very noticeable. I didn’t see it upon arrival and pushed two luggages up the hill, which was very tiring.
