New Blanc Central Myeongdong

4.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (111)
"Had a lovely stay. Room was great. Took ages to get to the hotel from the airport in the morning due to traffic and we were unable to have an early check in, so we had to wait until 3pm to get into our room after a very long journey. We were inconvenienced when we were unable to get the shuttle back to the airport during early hours and the trains didn’t run until later than we needed, so had to pay for a private taxi which wasn’t cheap. Other than transfers, this was an ideal stay."

"We have stayed at many five-star hotels around the world, but the service at The Shilla is truly in a league of its own. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and every staff member I encountered – including the valet attendants and service car drivers – spoke English to a high standard. If I had to identify a fault, which is difficult, it would be the use of individually plastic-wrapped cups in the rooms, which are replaced daily during servicing. This seemed excessive and not particularly...

"I booked a 4-night stay at this hotel at the last minute, and I'm so I did! The hotel is within walking distance to the subway, there's a convenience store across the street, and the front desk staff are so helpful. My room was spacious, it was cleaned regularly, and water, tea, and towels were replenished regularly. I read some reviews about an odd smell coming from the bathroom, but I never had that issue. If I ever come back to Seoul, I would absolutely book here again!"

"Enjoyed our stay at Orakai, staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we found out after we got to our room that they do not run AC in April. I sleep hot, so had to leave the windows opened at night. This was the first hotel I’ve stayed at that did not allow us to turn on the AC. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. My husband and I were near where we wanted to be, nice walk to Inksedong, Insadong, and Bukchon. The restaurants close by close early on the weekend, so you need to go a...

"Stayed here for 3 nights. I got the VIP room with the massage chair. It was heaven after a long day of exploring Seoul! I didn't have the breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that. The location was okay, it had a very local vibe but the station was not good for big luggage due to the stairs in the station. I couldn't find the station elevator when I arrived. Some reviews said Exit 5 but actually the elevator is between Exit 5 and 4 so you might miss it like I did. Also it's on Line 1 so...
