Lotte Hotel Seoul

This is an outstanding 5-star hotel, located in a great area of Seoul. The staff are wonderful, the rooms are spacious and immaculate and it is everything that one could hope for in such a quality hotel. I do resent paying $20 for a Guinness but such is the price of luxury.

i was upgraded to a junior suite on the 34th floor and my view of Namsan was amazing! i loved watching the light change on the buildings after dark! the room was too large for me if i were traveling for personal reasons but for business it turned out to be perfect. i had a very large package delivered to me for review and the ample floor space allowed me to open the box and review everything easily. i also appreciated that they delivered the package to my room directly. i didn't like the layout of the room. the desk and chair were in the middle of the space when you wanted to get around the bed. also, the bathroom left a lot to be desired. too many doors and too many lips of marble to trip over. the worst though was the cockroach that was in my shower the last morning. it climbed up the shower wall and fell down to the floor and drowned after my shower. i didn't feel really clean after that! the bed though was SO comfortable! i had a great night's sleep after my long trip from California and my long day touring around Seoul.

The location is very good as it is conveniently close to the subway and just a short walk from Myeongdong, making it perfect for both sightseeing and shopping. The staff were warm, polite, and proactive. They approached to offer help even before we asked, which made the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming. Overall, we highly recommend Lotte Hotel Seoul for anyone visiting the city. The combination of a prime location and top-notch service makes it a standout choice.

We would highly recommend this hotel. It is located in the Mia-dong area, which is full of restaurants and entertainment venues (a bit touristy though), including many food stands lining some of the (pedestrian) streets at night. The hotel also is adjacent to Lotte Shopping center, for those that interested in shopping. You can also walk to the teleferique that will take you to the Namsan Tower, which offers amazing views of the city. Finally, the hotel is close to one of the metro stations, if you want to explore more of the city. The guest services of the hotel are impeccable. The rooms are spotless clean and larger than the European ones (ie quite comfortable, but not huge) and if you get one in the high floors, the view is spectacular. Technologically the hotel and the rooms are very advanced, like many other things in Seoul. Our room price did not include breakfast, but this was not a problem since we discovered an excellent french bakery in Mio-dong, 5 min from the hotel. The bakery had a great variety of pastries (all that we tried were delicious) and good strong espresso and cappuccino. The hotel also has a buffet breakfast for $45/person. It has an amazing variety, including western and korean food. You need to try it at least once! We would recommend taking a guided tour through the palaces. We took the Small-Group Royal Palace and Seoul City Tour by Seoul N Tour - Day Tours and they were great. If you want to visit other places in the city, we would recommend Uber, which also works with the local taxi drivers.

I had a wonderful stay at Lotte Hotel Seoul. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, professional, and attentive. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully appointed, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially loved the aromatherapy pouch left on my pillow each night. It was such a calming touch that made winding down after a long day feel extra special. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to shopping, subway lines, and cultural attractions. Breakfast was also impressive - I was in their Executive Tower. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable, elegant stay in central Seoul. I’d love to return!
