Royal Hotel Seoul

Great central location, good buffet breakfast, staff were very good and helpful

I love this hotel. The location is the most perfect! You can not find a better location. It's smack in the middle of the street market. The breakfast buffet is my favorite, the views from the breakfast room are stunning. They start at 7:00 a.m. which is fantastic for jet laggers. The rooms are great for the size, comfort, and amenities. The staff is always so happy to help, accommodating and sweet. This is my second time staying, two years apart. I would never stay anywhere else.

The location was perfect , staff very kindly , the rooms cleaning ,

We stayed in a premium triple room with Club Lounge access. Only used the lounge once during our 4 night stay. The light bites for happy hour on the 21st floor were goodl. Our room was meant for 3 people (our friend cancelled last minute) so of course it was spacious for 2 people. I asked for a high level, quiet room and they really delivered! We faced the back/side of the hotel facing away from the street so we did not hear any of the noise coming from the center of Myeongdong. Amazing! There was a sofa and table where we ate our food and watched TV from. The bathroom was extremely clean. When our toilet clogged due to our error (they do not flush their toilet paper and prefer you to use the bidet!), they fixed it right away. Beds were firm and so comfortable to sleep in! Walk downstairs and you are immediately where the food stalls and shopping are so very convenient. The hotel is closer to bus stops than it is the subway but it is not a far walk to either. We were able to use their coin washer/dryer for our laundry (they sell detergent and dryer sheets in the vending machine right next to the washer/dryer) and had no trouble with damp clothes not drying fully.

location is great - shopping streets & eating places (including street food stalls) right at the doorstep yet is not affected by noise. Easy access to subway station & airport limousine stop.
