"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

After spending over six hours on a plane, we especially appreciated the warm welcome from the staff. The hotel was clean, and we loved the room layout and extra space. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for our family, especially with boys, without ever feeling cramped. We also appreciated the modern design, which made us feel right at home. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of options, ensuring there was something everyone in our family could enjoy. Lastly, the front desk staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay.

Crown Park Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"Hotel itself ideally located for most things, but even in deluxe room furniture pretty basic, but beds comfy. Breakfast was OK but no Black/Breakfast tea, only Earl Grey or fruit teas, Coffee from machine was lukewarm but if you ask for hot milk they will bring it. After a long day site-seeing was disappointed to find that there nowhere to get a drink in evening, small lounge on 17th floor but only sold spirits. oh for a glass of wine. Most of the staff had reasonable English, whereas I had no Korean, and were very helpful."
