This hotel is in a great location, just a few meters from a taxi stand and subway. It's also very close to the Hoehyeon Line 4 subway station, making it convenient for exploring the city. Additionally, the hotel is near the bustling Myeongdong area and the famous Namdaemun market.
All was well during my stay.

Spent Christmas at a hotel near the shopping district with many restaurants nearby. Staff were very helpful and friendly. the room was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and functioning amenities.
The hotel room was dimly lit, making it difficult to read or work on my laptop. There were only a few power outlets, which made it challenging to charge all my devices at once.

Great Location and Excellent Service
I recently stayed at the Seoul Rex Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable, with popular attractions like Namdaemun and Myeongdong just a short walk away. The hotel is also conveniently located near the subway station, making it easy to explore the city.
Although the hotel is a bit old, everything was clean and functioning properly. The rooms and bathrooms were kept super clean, and the bed was comfortable.

Excellent location, just a short distance from major attractions and transportation options. Affordable rates for the prime location.- Plenty of food options nearby.- Helpful and honest staff, who went above and beyond to retrieve a lost item.
Inadequate heating in the room during a December stay, leading to discomfort in the cold. No free WiFi in the room, which can be inconvenient for guests.

I loved the location of this hotel. It was so convenient to have the Hoehyeon Line 4 subway station just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the city. Plus, I really appreciated being away from the bustling Myeongdong area, awesome for a peaceful night's sleep. And speaking of location, this hotel was also very close to some great markets, super convenient for souvenir shopping.
Didn't dislike anything about the hotel or the city.

Had a great city break at a hotel with an ideal location that made getting around really easy. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the subway which allowed me to quickly get to many of the key tourist areas, and at a very affordable price too. The room was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I particularly liked the complementary breakfast and free Wi-Fi which was a bonus.
Would have preferred a fresher feeling room as the decor was quite dated and reminded us of a hotel that may not have had any renovations for many years. The staff spoke limited English which made communication quite challenging at times.
