Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

Excellent location. We stayed here for 5 nights. I hear no noise at night. The room is very small for 3 of us. Bed is comfy. Separate toilet. I like they have a shower and bathtub. Full room service every other day. They do provide new towels or bring your garbage outside door on the off room cleaning day. Hotel lobby is on 21st Floor. Very walkable to many tourists area like the palace, Seoul station Lotte mart, namdameum, Nansen tower etc.

Excellent stay but what made it so good was Ami who was at the front desk. She was so helpful in showing me where to go and spending time with me to go through the logistics of getting to each location. She was so kind to find me also a charger for my phone and just a wonderful employee to have working for your hotel. She should be promoted to manager.

I travelled with my wife and two children, and we had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The hotel is located right within the Myeongdong shopping street, which makes it extremely convenient to shop, return to the hotel to rest, and then head out again.

One downside of the location is that, being situated inside the shopping street, taxis are only able to access the hotel early in the morning. However, this is well compensated by the fact that the airport limousine bus to Incheon Airport is just a 5-minute walk away on the main road and payment can be made using cash or T-money, which is very convenient.

The room is not very spacious but also not too small, and it was comfortable for our family. One thoughtful design feature is a section of the window that can be slightly opened, allowing cold air to enter the room. This was especially useful during winter, as the centralised air-conditioning tends to provide warmer air. Personally, I preferred turning off the central air-conditioning and keeping the window slightly open to maintain a cooler room temperature.

The bathtub is nice, and the shower has strong water pressure with sufficient hot water, even during winter. One aspect I did not particularly like was the dark-coloured décor, including the furniture and the corridor outside the room. It does not quite match a Muji-style aesthetic, which I personally prefer, as I like brighter rooms and surroundings. Hopefully, this is something the hotel can improve on in the future.

The room cleanliness was acceptable, though not exceptional, as dark furniture tends to make dust and details more noticeable. One area that could definitely be improved is the lift. The lift carpet appeared poorly maintained and quite dirty, which negatively affected the overall impression of the hotel. Since the check-in lobby is on the 21st floor, guests rely heavily on the lift, and its condition plays an important role in shaping the hotel’s overall quality and image.

One highlight of our stay was the breakfast, which was very good. Even though we stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, we did not get bored with the food selection. As this is a Japanese hotel chain, they also offered Japanese-style dishes, which we enjoyed.

Overall, we are happy with our stay and would definitely consider staying here again when we visit Seoul in the future. We hope to see some improvements during our next visit. Keep up the good work, and thank you.

During our stay at Solaria, my husband experienced a sudden medical emergency. Mr. Lee immediately called an ambulance and kindly accompanied us to the hospital. Throughout the entire ordeal, he was incredibly caring and compassionate.
Despite my husband being in severe pain, Mr. Lee did everything he could to comfort and calm him. When we arrived at the hospital, the staff had limited English proficiency, but Mr. Lee stayed with us for over two hours, acting as a translator and support until my husband was ready for his procedure.
Mr. Lee showed genuine concern and unwavering support during one of the most difficult moments for our family. We are deeply grateful for his kindness, patience, and tireless efforts. Solaria is truly fortunate to have such an exceptional staff member.

Excellent location for shops, restaurants, bars, and easy walk to subways. As a tourist this was ideal and easy to come back to during the daily activities! The hotel itself was clean and the staff always happy to help e.g booking taxi for the airport.

Rooms are on the small side but clean and comfortable- bed and sofa. There was no noise from street level but we stayed during the refurbishment period and hammering started quite early. Aside from this it was a great stay.
