Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong

The room is comfy. Coming from malaysia, the shower arrangement is very handy. If you know what I mean. No windows as mentioned but no prob for us. Full size fridge + sink + plates + iron with board. Full size shower gel, shampoo + conditioner too. The location near Chungmuro station. Just the corner of the police station. You'll reach the back entrance (1st floor) go to level 1. Leaving the bags before + after check out was smooth. Though a lil expensive for myr but it's worth the extra.

The bathroom door is a bit stuck and there a loads of dust below the air filter beside the bed (my clothes brush off the dust there).

The room was quite large and had a kitchen and washing machine. The bathroom though was small but manageable. The location was in the center and was walking distance to Myeondong Shopping area. The staff of the hotel was also helpful and assisted us for early morning travel to the airport. I would recommend this to those traveling to Seoul if you want to stay in the center of the city. Not to mention that the location of the hotel is near the subway.

1. The refrigerator is very big 2. Have a small kitchen which can cook sth 3. Have a washing machine, it can wash and dry, great! 4. Walk about 10 mins to go to Myeongdong 5. Can keep luggage well before/after check in 6. Walk about 5 mins to Chungmuro bus stop (bus no. 6001 & 6015 to Incheon Airport), about 1hr 30mins, very convenient. 7. The nearest station is Chungmuro, walk about 5 mins. 8. The room is very big! I love it. I will choose the same hotel in the future trips.

1. Air conditioner is old and on the floor, it's difficult to cool the room. 2. I have some problems with washing machine and call the front desk to assist to solve the problem. He went to my room and asked "why we wash our clothes at 00:00, everyone has slept". I can feel he may be impatient. I don't think the voice of machine is loud enough to disturb other rooms. I wash my clothes from 22:00 and the machines needs 2hr 30mins to finish the washing. I was the first time to use the washing & drying machine and didn't know it needs long time. I was outside all the day, how can I wash my clothes earlier? I don't want to wash my clothes when I was not in the room!

The room was spacious enough for three people, everything was very clean and practical (fridge, microwave, sink, etc.)w The localisation between Myeongdong and Chungmuro was perfect and just in front of the Namsan parc, near the Hanok too. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. I can only highly recommend the place!

I think if you want a bit of daylight it’ll be better to chose a room with a view. But we did chose that one knowing there were none so it’s on us and not on the hotel. 😊

All staff members were kind and nice. Overall atmosphere was quiet and calm which was good. Thanks for the staff members.

But the room was not that clean when I checked in even if I didn’t make any complaints. Hairs were on the towels, comforters, and even sheets. That was disappointing.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional upon arrival. The hotel was as clean as a whistle and the bed sheets were fresh and crisp. We were surprised to get a little kitchenette in our room, which is rare in Seoul. The heater was great too! We had a very cosy and relaxing stay.

I really can't fault the hotel on anything. I would say the only critique would be the lack of natural light in the room, but this is personal preference.

Above average room size with a small kitchenette and washing machine. Close to Myeongdong main area.

Was a little hard to find when we arrived and slightly uphill. The room we were offered wasn’t cooling well. Also there was an unpleasant odour in the common corridor areas.

The room was spacious and met our needs, the location is excellent , next to the subway that has lines to the key tourist places. The housekeeping staff was amazing did a great job in cleaning the room, the front office staff was also very friendly and helpful. The only thing I felt was that the hotel is a bit old and that did not come across in the photos. It is clean and maintained but don't expect a totally renovated new property. The bed and pillows were very comfortable

Nothing really to mention

This room is super spacious and we booked this room at a cheaper price . Concierge was nice . The room is at level 7 and during winter unable to on Aircon only heater... we book a taxi from airport to hotel at 110k for 5 pax from the hotel. The only thing is that we are unable to make the payment via credit card ... , the vehicle can accommodate 5 28 inches luggage and 2 cabin size luggage too. The location for us is perfect and is quiet as compared to myeongdong hotels. (Less touristy area)... 10mins away from myeongdong ... Walking distance too if you know the route well.

No Aircon during winter ! Slightly warm and stuffy.. I stay at level 7 for the bigger rooms .. took a while to get used to it.
