Seoul Hotel ShinShin Myeongdong

The hotel is very well located, 5 minutes or less from a metro station. It has everything you need to rest, and the bathroom is the best we have seen in a hotel. You have all the myengdong street mess right out of the hotel, but you don't hear any noise from the hotel. Highly recommended to stay in it.

A hidden gem—reasonably priced for its upscale, peaceful location, unlike the typical budget hotels in Myeongdong rea. It offers a comfortable and relaxing stay while still being close to major attractions. The staff is warm and accommodating, always ready to assist. A special mention to the housekeeper, who was exceptionally polite and ensured my room was spotless every day. One of my favorite features was the bathroom—the shower and Japanese toilet were amazing, adding a touch of luxury to my stay. Overall, this hotel offers great value, excellent service, and a serene atmosphere. I’d definitely stay again!

I rate this hotel with such low score as it is a huge disappointment and must be a wake up call for management/owners. I visited for my first time this hotel in 2013 (just shinshin.. no floral..): it was classy, modern and excellent. I stayed now twice (end of november 2019 for 3 nights and december room#702 from 8th to.23rd) and I was literally under shock. Where is the nice shin shin hotel gone?? First problem: lack of maintenance. The hotel rooms are not kept well. Second problem: housekeeping.. especially during our 2 weeks stay, it was a constant "fight" with housekeeping... the room floor was dirty, they don't wash your mugs and they only "tidy up" your room... but not cleaning!! Windows full of dust... my pillow had a "head-scent" for being old and used... we pointed out to reception staff this problem but nothing was made.. we gave up! And then, reception staff are sharp. There is member of reception who says he speaks English and he can't follow a basic conversation..you see that complacency from ownership and management is the base of the problem. Their website is not working (from.september 2019)... this hotel could make tons of money if well kept, entretained, and for its location.. it could be perfectly an IHG Indigo Hotel if renewed... the saddest thing of the hotel is the lobby: this space is magnifecent but left to its own fate... there is an unsued bar counter, why??? Shame on the management!
