Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Royal Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is frequently praised for its fantastic location, placing guests right in the heart of Myeongdong, steps away from restaurants and shopping, including the main Olive Young store. Many find it easy to explore the city, with convenient access to metro stations. The breakfast on the 21st floor offers fresh options and city views; however, some guests have found the rooms to be on the smaller side.
