The Aloft Hotel in Myeongdong was centrally located, had clean rooms, lovely service from the staff, and great complimentary products. The popcorn by the elevators was such a fun touch! We also really loved the breakfast, especially the pho bar and the fun croissant/waffles.

I suspected the room we had was supposed to be under service but assign to us. First thing, the door card gave us issue on our first day. And we have to go up and down thrice times before the front desk staff came up together to get the card rectify. (Annoying! And give us a ??? Face, of cause, because it’s not her problem) There are black stains on the towel suddenly, which was puzzling. Until the last night, mystery solved, it was from the carpet in the room. My daughter put her bag on the floor and the next day, there is a dark stain on her bag. Middle of the seat, water pipe leaking below the basin 😑. The lifts, too forever to come. You can just stay and wait for 4-5 mins for your lift to come. And it will just change as and when. Like you are waiting for Lift 1 then change to Lift 2 and back to Lift 1 again. Rather crazy. Front desk, seems like there is only 1 lady who can speak fluent English…! The only good thing is, the hotel location is conveniently near subway and myeongdong street.

Almost flawless!

Water from the shower stall do make its way out to the toilet floor. I do agree that most visitors, especially first time visitors to Korea, would prefer Korean style breakfast in the morning but strengthening the Western style breakfast would be nice.

We absolutely loved our stay at Aloft Myeongdong! The hotel's location is unbeatable – right in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient to explore nearby attractions, shopping spots, and dining options. The Myeongdong subway station is just a short walk away, which made getting around so easy. Our room was fantastic – modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The thoughtful design and comfortable amenities made it the perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing. We especially appreciated the cozy bed and the quiet ambiance that ensured restful nights. The staff were exceptional – warm, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request. Their friendly service truly elevated our experience. Overall, Aloft Myeongdong exceeded our expectations and provided a wonderful base for our trip. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service in Seoul. We can't wait to come back!
