Moxy Seoul Insadong
4.5/5128 Reviews
Insadong / Bukchon
A very modern hotel with a young and creative design. It feels a bit like evaluating W. All the details are very cutting-edge. Friendly to Chinese people, the location is a plus. There is a restaurant and late night snacks downstairs until early morning. Apart from the small room, everything was comfortable and the price was cheap.
Moxy Seoul, Myeongdong
4.6/5228 Reviews
Myeong-dong
Although the hotel not located at Main Street, but still a best location in Seoul. This is a dual brand hotel which also The Le Meridien Myeongdong is located on the same building. Both hotels shared their main entrance, and their lobby located on the same floor. You may found some comment regards to changing lift every time when back to the hotel, it’s true but honestly is quite normal nowadays even in a luxury five-star hotel in Asia. Take the Airport Bus Number 6001 or 6015 is the best way to go to this hotel from the airport. And you SHOULD AVOID taking the Airport Train as you have to carry your luggage to walk upstairs inside the underground train station (Even in a large station in Seoul you will not found a lift or escalator) Walking distance to two main underground train stations “Myeongdong” and the “Euljiro 1”. Best rate of money exchange (called “China Embassy” which is very famous) is just opposite the hotel. 24hrs convenience store “CU” is just located next to the main entrance of the hotel. Myeong Dong Walking Street is just a few minutes walk from the hotel. The room is nice and the size is much better than most of the hotels in the city. The staff was very nice and speak fluent English. P.S. Don't forget to enjoy the welcome drinks which serve after 6 PM.
