A great hotel in a great location!
The staff were very attentive to our needs and were always ready to assist with a smile! A special mention of Lina, the concierge who patiently helped my wife plan her days and made all the necessary bookings. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from literally everything.

Excellent food and executive suite suberb
The location is excellent for shopping and also transportation connections are super. We got executive king room as booked, the size is okeyish. On 1st night we had some AC noise issues and we were upgraded to executive suite. This is what room should be. Epic. The food was amazing, million choices.

Great Location, Great Staff, Clean and comfortable. We had a nice view of a historical altar site.
Staff is super friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a great location. Room was comfortable and clean. Limo bus from airport stops at this hotel! Close to metro station and walking distance to Myeondong street for shopping and eating. Walking distance to Gyeongbokgung Palace, 20 to 30 minute walk. It's a very nice walk. Also, our room had a nice view of Hwangudan altar historical site!

Going back there again
From the entrace staff to the reception everyone so welcoming and friendly. Great location close to markets and shopping. Very good breakfast on 20th floor. Room spacious and very neat. And the cocktails on the ground floor, don’t miss that.
Nothing at all

Another wonderful stay
This was our second stay at this hotel, and once again it exceeded expectations. The location is unbeatable—right across from Myeongdong shopping street, making it the perfect base for exploring Seoul. The staff are exceptionally attentive, the amenities are plentiful, and most importantly, the room is spacious and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

A beautiful stay
The location is amazing, right next door to the Lotte department store and across from Myeongdong markets. The room had a nice view and was very comfortable. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Beautiful hotel which made for a great experience in Seoul. We stayed in several hotels in South Korea and this one was by far the best.

Good location
Excellent location and shuttle to airport
When you book using booking.com platform and choose child 12 at the hotel they expect you to pay as for an adult. Thankfully we didn’t have to but as it turned out our son ended up on small settee rather than normal bed.

Best Hotel Ever
I loved everything, location, facilities, great beds, wonderful food and amazing staff who were the stars of our stay. Overall, this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in and probably some of the best meals I have ever eaten. Definitely would love to return.
Nothing, everything was wonderful

Very expensive. Breakfast was outrageously expensive. The staff were very nice. There was very little area or places to sit in the foyer when waiting for friends or tour pickups.

Overall, it is an excellent experience for me. Will come back for sure!
Location for first timers to Seoul is excellent. It is near to Myeongdong the shopping street. My room did not come with breakfast but there are plenty of food choices nearby. There is a basement food court & a supermarket, in Lotte Hotel which is literally just next door to Westin. January is supposedly a low month for Seoul, so I managed to get the room for SGD250 (daily rate) for a relatively big room that comes with a king size bed and a small sofa set. Amenities are complete in the room and in the bathroom. The bed and pillows are fluffy and super comfortable & the room has black out curtain, so I slept very well. I was traveling alone hence I did not want my room to be the last room or next to an exit. To keep the story short, they showed me 3 rooms before I settled on one. I have to give it to the front desk staff for her professionalism and patience extended to me. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get her name.
If I have to pick on something for the room, I was hoping to have a walk-in shower instead of having to climb into a bathtub to take a shower.

Will stay again 👍🏻
One of my favorite hotels in Seoul 🫶🏻 It just has this nostalgic vibe to it Looks like XX century (in a good way) Great location (the best location!) Very close to everything, yet not noisy I really love the bar on the first floor Great value for its price
First time they gave me a room with an awful view but then, when I complained, they changed it for a room on a higher floor, and with a great view. I can’t believe these two rooms were the same price! 😂 I added the photos so you can compare the view

The location is conveniently located in the heart of Myeongdong. Its a good place if you want to venture out and explore the surrounding areas, The staff were very professional and helpful and will go the extra mile to make your stay more pleasant. Facilities are well maintained and everything is to a high standard, Breakfast was lovely and would recommend joining the Marriot club membership which is free to get extra perks.
On Major holidays such as New years, Roads maybe closed off so it will impact the ability to call a taxi but public transport is convenient with the train station about a 3-5 minute walk away from the main entrance.

Location is so convenient, very close to the myeongdong night market street but not noisy nor crowded around the hotel. The gym is amazing, this is our second time staying in this hotel and we still enjoyed our stay a lot. The breakfast is good, staff are nice and helpful and the gym plays a big part of our stay there too, we go there every morning
