Four Points by Sheraton Seoul, Myeongdong

Right outside, cross the road and Euljiro 3-ga Station (Exit 12) is there, with a limousine bus stop nearby for an easy trip to the airport. The location made getting around Seoul simple. Restaurants, cafés, and bars fill the lively streets at night, and two convenience stores are just around the corner. My room was clean, comfortable, and more spacious than I expected. After long days out, it was a relaxing place to return to. Staff were warm and helpful, and most spoke English. There’s laundry by the lobby, a cozy bar and seating area near reception, and a Starbucks kiosk at the entrance for a morning coffee. The hotel has two restaurants, a buffet and a Korean BBQ place on the second floor that serves aged pork cuts. I ate at the BBQ restaurant on my first night and really enjoyed it.

Steps from food, shopping, and easy transport, the location made getting around Seoul simple. The rooms were modern, clean, and had what I needed to unwind after exploring. Staff were professional and friendly, always willing to help. A comfortable, convenient stay, and I’d happily return.

The sunrise from the room was lovely, and the location is great. But cleanliness was awful. Anything you couldn’t see at first glance seemed to have been left uncleaned. There was also a bug that got onto my clothes and came home with me. Please look closely at the areas that are actually dirty instead of just going through a checklist. I’m tired of finding dirty hotel rooms. I won’t keep the bug photos for long, so please let me know once you’re sure the problem has been fixed.

The buffet lunch had an excellent range of international dishes, and there are plenty of nearby restaurants. The hotel is also close to train and bus stations. I had a good stay at Four Points by Sheraton, though the elevator was slow and sometimes meant a wait of a few minutes. It was still comfortable and convenient.
