Reviews based on Location
Wonderful experience staying with Le Méridien Seoul Myeongdong during the end of December 2023. Location: fantastic, in the middle of Myeongdong with plenty of street market foods/snacks. Train just minutes walk. Service is wonderful: the checkin team and team in charge in the basement lobby level were effective and friendly. As a plantinum Bonvoy, we have the privilege to access their club lounge. And our sincere gratitude for their club lounge, which has plenty of yummy foods & drinks, especially during the evening cocktail and a wonderful team; easy & friendly, yet we still have our privacy. The room is new & and is considered big with full toilets amenities. Sure will come back again. 🫰
This isn't a great hotel for a business traveler, as check-in can be slow (only 2 desks open when I arrived) and no iron / ironbaord in the room, so had to wait for one to be delivered. The beds are pretty firm too. On the plus side the rooms are a good size with nice amenities, the food at breakfast was good (but super expensive if not part of your room rate) and the location is excellent.
