Romantic Hotels in Seoul

"First off, this is a legitimate hotel, not a guesthouse or a self-built inn. It has all the standard hotel amenities. It's definitely a suitable place to stay. Now, regarding the location, don't trust some of the online guides. This area isn't a commercial district or where tourists would typically want to go. It's a wholesale market hub, much like Beijing's Zoo Market or Chengdu's Lotus Pond Market – places that open at night for stocking up and close during the day. Within a two-kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of tailor shops. Of course, there are some malls that are open during the day, but they're very few, so it's not recommended for tourists to stay here. I chose this place because I was returning to China from Busan, wanted a good night's rest, and needed to go to Gimpo Airport the next day. For everyone else, it's probably best to stick to hotels near Myeongdong; having Lotte Department Store right outside is the way to go. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste; you have to buy them from a vending machine. They really don't offer them at all, unlike other hotels where they might not actively provide them but will give them to you if you ask, like a razor. The two beds are roughly the size you'd find in a student dormitory. The breakfast *looked* like it would be good, but the reality was that it ended at 10 AM, with last entry at 9:30 AM. I went around 8:40 AM, and all that was left was sliced bread, sliced baguette, and instant noodles. As for scrambled eggs, bacon fried rice, which should have been there, I didn't see any – they were gone by at least 8:30 AM, and they didn't restock at all. The small pots for dishes in my pictures were all empty. I only managed to eat four small mushrooms. The hotel description mentioned sausages and other items, but there was absolutely nothing. In the end, I had a cup of instant noodles and a glass of grape juice."

"For this Seoul trip, I chose Nine Tree Premier Hotel Myeongdong 2, and after a 3-night stay, I'm very satisfied overall. The location is excellent, right next to Euljiro 3-ga Station, just a 3-5 minute walk away, making transfers on lines 2 and 3 super convenient. It's about a 10-minute walk to the main shopping streets of Myeongdong, offering a perfect balance of being 'quiet amidst the hustle and bustle'—not as noisy as the core Myeongdong area, but still very accessible. The room was quite spacious for Seoul city standards, around 26 square meters, allowing us to fully open two 28-inch suitcases without them getting in the way. The bedding was clean, and soundproofing was good, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The ground floor lobby has direct access to a GS25 convenience store, so if you want a late-night drink or snack, you don't even have to leave the building. Front desk communication was smooth in both English and Chinese, check-in and check-out were quick, and they even helped us store our luggage. The value for money in the Myeongdong area is truly competitive, and I would definitely consider staying here again next time."

"Stayed for three nights in Seoul, right in the Myeongdong area. It was super convenient for food and shopping, with several great restaurants nearby. It's also very close to the subway station and Lotte Department Store, perfect for dropping off your shopping and heading back out. The hotel facilities are a bit old, but everything else was good."

"The hotel is in a very good location, after shopping we could drop our stuff in the hotel easily. The hotel only cleans your room on the fourth day of your stay. Each day they will remove the rubbish and change towels. They provide whatsapp or wechat customer services which is good. The hotel is not new, but clean. What I am concerned about is safety. They have a lift, everybody can go up without a room card or passcode."

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the service throughout my stay was top-notch. The staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and helpful, which made us feel right at home. Its location is super convenient, with a metro station just a short walk away, making getting around the city very easy. The only minor downside is that it is a bit far from major tourist spots like Myeongdong and Seongsu-dong. However, given the comfort, quality service, and easy transit access, I would still highly recommend staying here!"

"The location is great, right by Cheonggyecheon Stream, and only a five-minute walk to Myeongdong. Plus, Subway Line 1 is right outside, making it convenient to get anywhere. The room was perfect for two people, with enough space to open our luggage. They also offer services like laundry and instant noodles. If you need room cleaning, you just hang the sign on your door. One of the front desk staff speaks Chinese, and even though the others don't, they are all very enthusiastic. The cleaning ladies are also very nice. I would definitely choose this place again on my next visit; it's excellent value for money."

"Location: About a 3 minute walk from Seolleung MRT Station Cleanliness: 9/10 Reception: Located on the second floor Nearby: Plenty of food and coffee shops within walking distance. About 1 km from The Hyundai Department Store. Close to CU and 7 Eleven convenience stores Overall: A convenient location with everything you need nearby"
