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.

Great and convenient hotel
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

Good location / great servicing of the room/
The price of a coffee in the cafe in the lobby was outrageously expensive…. It was the highest price coffee of any hotel or cafe that I have ever experienced anywhere in the world and I have been all over the world !! The price of the coffee drove me out of the hotel never to return ..:

Warm hospitality, great ambience and well trained staff.
The central location, the very good maintenance and distinctive white tea fragrance.
The price is not value for money. Should extend some discounts for stays >6 days.

Amazing hotel with excellent service!
I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right next to Myeongdong and the Avenue Shopping Mall, making everything accessible. I used the Club Lounge, and the staff were exceptional—very attentive and accommodating. Special thanks to Jenny and the lounge team for ensuring I had gluten-free bread to suit my dietary needs. This was my second stay, and I’ll definitely be back again!

I’m sure I will stay here again.
We eat only lunches in Aria, they were wonderful! The room was very good: bed, bathroom with tiny light, big windows, noise-cut system. Excellent for jetlaggers.
Some Japanese-speaking staff at reception deck, please. Put some simple dishes in the room and some coffee cream too.

Location is very good for shopping and local food. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.
Location. Lots of shopping and eateries. Very accessible to public transport. Hotel is near the busy Myeongdong street and yet in a quiet section of the area. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful
I didn't like the room which only has a shower inside the bathtub. It is quite difficult to climb into the bathtub for older guest, The website does not state that the room only have bathtub with no separate shower.

Very good
The hotel was luxurious but was a little old. The location would be better if it is closer tonMyeongDong Night Market.
I didn't like that the hotel did not have a washing machine room. People who travel for a long period need the use of a washing machine.

Great hotel in the great location in the heart of Myeongdong. 5 stars hotel not by luxury but extreme comfort and friendliness. There is everything you might need for body & soul. Entire staff is extremely polite and helpful. Love this place!

Great stay in Seoul.
Location was great. Staff was friendly, hospitable, and helpful. Always with a smile on their faces. Guest relations officer, Ms.Lim, came to bring me a small cake in our room as it was my birthday and it was a pleasant surprise. I love the smell and cleanliness of our room and the soft beddings as well. Breakfast was fantastic. Fresh shrimp and vegetables, smoked salmon was excellent and not too salty. We will surely come back.

Comfortable and clean hotel
location of hotel is convenient, many convenient stores around the vicinity.
The amenities were not replenished when our suite was being serviced by the housekeeping. Not impressed with club breakfast, very limited choices especially on fresh fruit and it is always the same 3 fruits during our 5 days stay. our room faces the shrine temple and there was a prayer session on 1 of the morning, it was noisy.
