Location was great as it was in the middle of myeongdong. Just go downstairs and you'll be right across from one of the famous dumpling and noodles store. The night market is just at the entrance of the hotel so you're never hungry at night and never missing out on the night market life. Hotel was clean and I liked that the toilet bowl was separate from the shower with it's own mini basin so my partner and I could do our wash ups and business without having to wait for each other. There's a bathtub too! Water pressure is good and there's always hot water. Beds are huge and we have two pillows each but both the mattress and pillow are a bit too soft for my liking though I still had a very comfortable sleep every night. Breakfast was okay. Some of the food was on the cool side when we got there at 830am. Variety is limited but still enough to satisfy. Maybe about 6-7 different cooked dish mix of western and asian, some cereals and fruits and a few choices of tea with a coffee machine.

It was hard to find the entrance of the hotel at first and took us a while. For those coming here, you'll want to look out for the famous dumpling store "Myeongdong kyoja main store". The entrance to the hotel is just facing this store. Remember, it has to be the MAIN STORE of MYEONGDONG KYOJA. Check in at 3pm and checkout at 10am was quite a downer.

I’m staying at this hotel solo for 8 nights. The reception is on the 21st floor. Reception staff is kind and helpful. The location is superb. The subway (Line 4) is in 5 min walk. The room is spacey, clean. Everything new. They clean the room and change the towels every day. The A/C and the wi-fi are working well. Free bottled water provided regulary in the room. Enjoying my stay. Would love to stay here again if I ever come back to Seoul.

Fantastic service and location. Room comes with humidifier (as it gets very dry in such cold weather), coffee machine (capsule), and massage pillow (much needed after a long day of walking). Size is apt as we had 3 big & 1 small luggages. Staff are very helpful and attentive to your needs. Located right smack in the middle of Myeongdong shopping street, below are rows of shops - Foot Locker, Innisfree, convenience store and everything. Also, just 1-2 mins from Metro station exit 8. Very happy with our stay!

Room is well cleaned however, when I lifted the bedsheet, I could see used tissue paper. Probably cannot be seen as it is all white! Otherwise, everything else was cleaned very well, water bottles get replenished, soap dispensers too, etc.

A thoughtfully laid out room that was spacious enough for 3 adults (and our many suitcases) and included a separate toilet and bathroom - a rarity in the middle of Seoul! Stand out facilities included filtered water dispensers on each floor, a coin laundry (7000 KRW for detergent, washing and drying) and free luggage storage while away from Seoul prior to our stay. Step out straight into the heart of Myeongdong with easy access to shops, restaurants and 2 major train lines.

The room size is larger than those about the same price in the same area. The location is so near the myeongdong station and airport bus. It is a full service hotel with daily housekeeping.. It is my second day there and I didn't realize that until I got it and the familiarity strikes me..

Absolutely nothing. Maybe the hard pillow was very uncomfortable but I requested for soft ones and they worked really well.

Central location with shops right at your door step, quiet room as we didn’t hear anybody and I even tested whilst my daughter was playing Kpop in the bathroom i went outside the door and couldn’t hear a thing. Room was clean and bed was comfortable as I usually find hotel beds too stiff. I also liked how we got two pillows types, one hard & one soft so you can choose. Close to train station to get you everywhere and easy walk to get to the gondola for n-tower. I was with my 15year old daughter and we were always coming home late and we felt very safe in the area no matter what time.

Just be aware tours can’t pick you up from the front since it’s at a busy location unless it’s super early in the morning and still then drivers get in trouble. Whilst I don’t think it’s the hotel staff but shops next to it since their security get verbal and refuse driver to stop just to let us out. It happened twice so for the return trip to airport we had to meet outside another hotel 5min away.

Loved the location. It was super close to the markets, restaurants are everywhere. Train station was very close. Very clean!

I didn’t like that there’s no airconditioning during winter. And they would rather have you open the window for a cool breeze. And although this is very eco friendly - I think having the option to regulate the room temp would be nice especially since not all rooms get the same amount of cool breeze just through the windows - in fact, the room we stayed in was so hot (heating turned off, windows open), that my son was actually sweating. We had to ask for a fan, which staff arranged for us straightaway. I also wasn’t a fan of a little glass in the head board (not sure what that is, but found it a bit creepy). Other than that though, room was kept clean everyday. Staff were very friendly.

The hotel is in a great central location close to the 4 and 2 subway lines. Myeongdong is very touristy so there are a lot of shops, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby, and all the shops seem to stay open until 10 pm. There's a fair amount of people on the streets at any given time so it feels safe walking around at night as well. The hotel is quiet though - I never heard any noise from the streets (was on 7th floor). My room was very clean and well air-conditioned (I traveled during June - July so it was extremely humid and hot). They give you enough towels for the duration of your stay as well as a number of water bottles too. There's also a separate public area to throw out your trash and to microwave food. Staff are very friendly as well.

Was supposed to receive room cleaning once during my 10 day stay. However, the room was not cleaned on the agreed upon day or at all. However, since I had enough towels and took out my trash regularly, I didn't really need the cleaning so it wasn't a problem for me. May be an issue for others who prefer or need to have their rooms cleaned.

Solaria hotel was in prime location and met all my expectations - clean room with daily cleaning, amenities provided was very complete; including toothbrush set, comb, hairtie etc. Staff was polite and helpful, and conversed well in english.

Maybe the fact that they charge for early check-ins, but this seemed to be the norm in korea hotels. Wish they'd check if the room happened to be ready when we arrive.

Location is perfect! Lobby is nice. Staff are courteous.

It was warm inside the room. Aircon is centrally controlled. They set it to 23-24C. The window opens but really small. First time to sleep in a hotel not using the duvet/comforter. The pillow is also uncomfortable. I wish they have the 20x30 hotel pillows. and it is super hard.
