LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"Quick check in. Welcoming staff. Breakfast catered for all dietary requirements and lots of variety. Don't be late as closure is very punctual 0700-1000. Laundry is very useful 24hrs. Small wash takes 36 mins and dryer takes 45 mins. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Metro is a 3 min walk to entrance but prepare for an additional 5 min walk to line 3 and 6. Down town Myeongdong is only a 10 min walk away. Hotel is ideally located. There's a 24hr 711 on the ground/1st floor. The superior Twin room is very spacious. Big single beds. Could do with more space to place a second suitcase. The TV is enormous but limited for choice of English channels. City view room is great. We were on the 16th floor and could hear very little noise from traffic below. The self service luggage storage room was very useful for our late flight. Overall a fantastic stay and looking forward to staying again soon."
