Moxy Seoul Myeongdong

I loved this hotel. It was nicer than I thought it would be from the price. My friend said this was a 2-star hotel, but from the cleanliness and service we got, I was sure it would be a 3- or 4-star hotel. The only downside I can think of is that the rooms aren't super spacious. If you're on the larger side, the rooms might be too cramped. We stayed in both a single bed and double bed room. Both rooms were small, but just roomy enough for us to get around comfortably. The room with two beds definitely didn't have much space to move around, but we just needed a place to sleep so it was no big deal to us. The beds were comfortable and clean. We got a note from housekeeping with a water bottle and chocolates each night. The staff at the Front Desk were super nice and were all good enough with English for the most part. We did have an issue with our shower not draining properly. There was some trouble explaining "shower drain" but he eventually got it and we had someone from housekeeping at our door before we could even finish getting ready to go out. LAUNDRY: The only thing that irked me during the stay was that there were only 3 washing/dryer machines. On the 2 days we wanted to do laundry, we always had to set a timer and rush back to get our clothes in before someone else. Both days, we didn't get our clothes in until 2-4 am.

Stayed here during my vacation to Korea and was extremely happy with my experience! The location is impeccable (so close to so many restaurants, markets and subway stations) and the service staff are so helpful. I stayed with 3 other people in the bunk bed room and it was more than enough space. Although the room was smaller than the typical North American accommodation, it was not at all suffocating like some Asian hotels can be. My family and I (who travel pretty heavy) were totally comfortable! Anytime I needed help with transportation/finding directions to certain places, someone was always available to give me clear instructions and were patient if I was confused. The cleaning staff were also extremely thorough and made accommodations when I needed service at different hours. Special shout out to Sura! She was awesome! Would definitely recommend as a hotel if you're planning on visiting Korea for the first time.
