The Royal Hotel Seoul Myeongdong enjoys a superb location right in the heart of Myeongdong, making it exceptionally convenient for accessing the area's vibrant shopping and street food scene, including being next to the biggest Olive Young store and a 24-hour convenience store. The rooms are generally spacious and well-equipped, some even featuring triple beds, while the guest laundry with a washer and dryer adds to the convenience. While some guests have noted the gym equipment could be improved, many appreciate the happy hour on the 21st floor, which offers a pleasant way to unwind while watching the sunset.
