Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

Stayed here for 4 nights, upon check in I was impressed because the receptionist was very helpful and friendly.

Location is great, very close to Lotte and Myeongdong shopping area, within 10 mins walking distance.

The room was spacious, very clean and the bed is comfortable. The only downside was it feels quite dark in the room and the room gets really cold at night (as you can’t heat the a/c, during spring time). Would I stay here again? Absolutely, especially considering the price point.

A very conveniently located hotel with good facilities, comfortable and friendly staff. They even provided pajamas set. Reservation was easy and seamless. The reservation staff Judy Kim was very prompt with her replies and made everything perfect. Another plus point is that there is a coin laundry available at the basement which only cost KRW4000 for wash and another KRW4000 for dryer. Detergent and dry sheet os available at KRW1000. This is very convenient as we could do our laundry and dry for under SGD10. Only setback was the breakfast. Best to dine outside and not in the hotel as the food was not warm.

The location was excellent walking distance to train station (namdaemun) and bus stop, and the room was very cute and nice. We only had a minor issue when the sprinkler suddenly popped out and caused a small water leak. However, the staff responded immediately, checked the problem, and offered to transfer us to a new room right away. As a kind gesture, they even gave us shampoo and conditioner, which we really appreciated. We were truly impressed with how well they handled the situation.

We also loved their breakfast it had a wide variety of options, and they even had a ramyeon section, which was a nice touch. Additionally, they have a coin laundry and a microwave in the basement, which is very convenient if you need them.

Overall, we will definitely comeback and recommend this place to our family and friends.

To get to this hotel you need to catch the Airport Limousine bus 6015 from Incheon airport and it will take around 1hour 30 minutes to get to the hotel . Then you need to get off at Namdaemun market stop and go down the Namdaemun shopping complex underground and when you get to the other side you will see Ediya Coffee , once you see Ediya Coffee turn up the side street next to Ediya Coffee and you will the the hotel.
When you arrive at the hotel you get to go through 3 sets of doors which is different and then you enter the lobby.
You then go to reception and you can self check in or if you are unsure a staff member will help you with check in. They then will explain all information to you about the hotel and if you arrive early before 3:00pm you leave your luggage in the lobby and walk around the area to get your bearings.
Once you get your key card for your room you just take the lift up to your room. The room is big enough to have 2 luggage and 2 cabin bags with enough room to walk around and there is an air purifier in the room for you to use. The bathroom is a bit different as there is one sliding door for the toilet and the shower , but it is something that you can get used to over time. If you want can open your windows for some fresh air and look around the immediate area. The bed was big enough and quite comfortable.
If you go down to B1 there is the breakfast restaurant if you want to have breakfast in the hotel in the morning. Also on B1 there is a gym if you want to exercise and also a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer. If you want to use the washing machine and dryer it will cost 4000 Won each but only can use credit card.
In the lobby is a restaurant called Melo if you want to have dinner at the hotel in the evening.
Overall it was a comfortable stay with no problems and the room was nice and clean when we arrived.

Everything about Sotetsu Hotel is awesome! The room was super clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. The food was delicious and enjoyable every single day. The staff were so helpful, especially Jamie and Danny, who helped us the moment we checked in. The whole vibe was just relaxing. I totally recommend it if you're looking for a comfy and chill stay.

This a nice 4* in central Seoul.
I got upgraded to an executive room so I had a very nice time. 16th floor, nice view and wooden decorated room.
Situation is great for whoever wants to roam around Seoul : super central near city hall, all transportation nearby (metros & buses), 6001 airport bus drops 50m away. Still in a quiet street with shops and local restaurants nearby, and Namdaemun market across the avenue.
Breakfast is great, very diversified with western and Asian options, loved it.
Free luggage storage in lockers before checkin / after checkout.

This is way too hot in the rooms during winter and you / that can’t do anything they say. Rooms could use a bit of refreshing.
I still think this is fairly expensive for what it is overall.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect, just a short walk to City Hall station, which made getting around Seoul a breeze. Plus it's only one stop away from Seoul station, so transferring to the AREX or KTX was super convenient. Myeongdong is also within easy walking distance.

The rooms are spacious, modern, and clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They patiently showed us how to use the wowpass machine in the lobby and swiftly assisted in retrieving my forgotten powerbank from the room after checkout.

The free lockers for luggage storage were convenient for early arrivals or late departures.

One minor nitpick: the slippers are replaced daily, which feels a bit wasteful environmentally. But overall, this doesn't detract from what is an excellent hotel offering great value for money.
