Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun

Location is actually good cos its near the airport bus limousine. However, it is not as near to Myeongdong as I thought it’d be. The distance would have been fine if the weather hadnt been cold and freezing. So I will probably book another hotel nearer to Myeongdong area for my next trip. Concierge staff do not acknowledge guests who step in or leave the hotel eventhough guests will have to walk past them. Not sure if this is the standard for hotels in Korea. However, they are friendly when approached and asked questions. Bathroom was not washed probably. There was a strand of hair and stains on the bathtub eventhough I have not used it yet. A little bit of upgrading would be good for the bathroom too. The one thing that really got to me was the stench of sewage that comes and goes. It is really disgusting especially when Im doing my make-up at the sink. Saw this from other reviews too so I hope the management can look into this. Bed and pillows are very comfy especially since I got the whole kind bed to myself with 4 plush pillows. All these are not really a big issue so I would still recommend this hotel to others. Overall experience was good for me.

The hotel is clean and the location is perfect for eating & shopping around in Seoul Nice cafe downstairs

The location is excellent! Food and shopping all in walking distance. The concierge were super helpful when needing a taxi but the metro is walking distance too. The reception was very helpful for adapters and allowed us to borrow one for the whole trip. The room service is yum for adults but has minimal kids options which I think should be reviewed but overall a lovely stay and would return next time I visit Korea.
