Hotel 28 Myeongdong

What an amazing stay we had! We stayed for 9 nights. Right in the centre of Myeongdong the location is totally unbeatable. The nearest subway is approx a 5 minute walk away (Euljiro 1) meaning exploring is really easy! The service was perfection - the staff are all so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious, with a traditional Korean breakfast offered as well as a more Western style. I recommend the beef bulgogi breakfast option. The design of the hotel is also stunning, with lots of rooms full of history and details about the founder of the hotel. Our room was spotless and had amazing amenities, including a mini fridge that was complimentary and restocked every day. We were on the Main Street in a Deluxe Twin, however the windows have great noise cancelling, and after about midnight it is a lot quieter! I really couldn’t fault anything about our room, the use of space is genius - we also requested some extra hangars and the reception staff were happy to give them to us. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely return.

This was our first hotel on a two week trip in Seoul / Tokyo and we could not have chosen better. The location is excellent, it’s around a 3 minute walk to the main road for getting taxis all around the city. It’s immediately in the busy Myeondong area with endless shops, cafes and restaurants and perfect for tourists. The rooms are very well equipped, a good size, clean and modern. The bathroom has a rainfall shower which is alway a positive. The staff are incredibly nice and will go out of their way to provide anything you need. A helpful tip is to ask for the hand warmers every day, Seoul can get very cold and the warmers literally last the whole day. The hotel has its own restaurant on the 6th floor as well as the 2nd. There is a very good coffee shop attached to the ground floor of the hotel that gets quite busy every day.

Honestly, don't even consider another hotel! I stayed at 3 during my trip including 5 star luxury hotel in myeongdong and Hotel28 was by far better! The staff is SOO kind and helpful! They speak English very well, so it is easy to communicate. They are connected to a delicious bakery and are located in the heart of myeongdong- everything is walking distance! The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are clean and spacious and they even have these amazing Dyson hairdryers- bonus points! This is not a paid review. I stayed here last week and then my flight got canceled and I immediately booked another night at hotel28. Highly recommend!

Location is good. Surrounded by many different Kfood restaurants, and you will see high concentration of K style deep fried chicken diners in front of the hotel. Hotel staff were all kind and sophisticated in manner. They kindly heated up my packed meal in their private area when I asked about microwave. Another good point is that we had a Dyson hair dryer and Molton Brown amenities. I could say taking choice at Hotel 28 brings you a better time-saving trip than staying Conrad in Yoido if you have a Hilton royalty.

Loving the location. Accessible to shopping and the main street of Myeongdong. Right in the centre of everything, so you can go shopping, come back, eat, nap and shop again. Staff are friendly and helpful and the room was spacious. Close to the airport bus stop too. Really enjoying our stay here. Free use of mini bar as well for duration of the stay. Love it.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel 28 Myeongdong! A special shout-out to Sugar, Nicole and Sally for their attentiveness and genuine care throughout my stay. Especially Sugar, who took such great care of my requests as I was travelling with my mom and young daughter her thoughtfulness and support truly made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The entire team at the hotel was consistently friendly, warm, and helpful. The hotel itself is clean, luxurious, and beautifully maintained, with thoughtful details that elevate the experience. The location is absolutely unbeatable right in the heart of Myeongdong, making it incredibly convenient for shopping, dining, and getting around. Highly recommended, and I would definitely stay here again!

I cannot fault this hotel. From the moment you step inside, you feel like a VIP. The hotel was founded by the renowned actor and director, Shin Young-Kyun, and reminders of the film industry are everywhere from old cameras and projectors to costumes and awards and a massive mural on the roof terrace. ||The rooms are beautifully appointed with a free bar and a sumptuous bathroom. I recommend having breakfast here - a fine introduction to Korean cuisine. ||The staff couldn’t have been more cheerful or more helpful. The concierge even used his own money to get us a taxi. Refunded, of course, but going beyond the call of duty.

Hotel 28 Myeongdong is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Seoul. The location is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of Myeongdong, with easy access to shopping, street food, cafes, and public transportation. The staff are superb: friendly, professional, and always willing to help, which makes the stay feel welcoming from start to finish. The rooms are roomy, clean, and nicely designed, offering a comfortable place to relax after a busy day exploring the city. Overall, it’s a stylish, convenient, and well-run hotel that I would happily recommend. This was my third stay at the hotel.
