Absolutely great location! Close to all the touristy things and plenty of stations within walking distance and taxis everywhere. Tons of fancy hotels nearby, but if you're on a budget, this is perfect. Clean. Breakfast was simple: toast, hardboiled egg, cereal, coffee.

I had a wonderful stay at EHWA in Myeongdong. The location was excellent, it was close to Myeongdong shopping street, restaurants, public transportation, and made exploring Seoul very easy. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

Overall, I would definitely recommend EHWA in Myeongdong to travellers looking for a clean, convenient, and affordable place to stay in Seoul. I would happily stay here again.

great location, close to all the action in Myeondong. room and hotel were very clean. AC was nice, room was extremely small but comfortable enough. Lots of signage not to hang clothes from the AC- note to hotel, the reason people are doing that is because there is no where to hang your clothes! A rack along the wall and a few hooks would be useful for the space. Breakfast was just cereal, coffee and toast. I did enjoy the hard boiled eggs. the reception staff who was male was not very helpful for check-in and for asking for where I could get taxi pickup. the women were great.

Great hotel close to Myeongdong area, about 5-10 min walk. Hotel is on an incline uphill, luckily not too far from the 6015 Euljiro 2 bus stop from Incheon. Single rooms are compact, typical of budget accommodations in Asia, but the bathroom configuration is particularly tight for getting in and out of the toilet and shower. Air conditioning works well, and the fridge in room is welcome, as well as the water dispenser in the hallway. The breakfast is a particularly nice perk, while it’s a simple continental breakfast (with cereal, bread, coffee, juice and eggs), it’s a welcome start to the day.

The room was spotless, which I appreciated. The breakfast was simple but great to have in the morning, especially the coffee. Great central location in Myeongdong for cafes, buses and convenience stores, but hard to get a taxi. The room could use some hooks or hangers, as it was hard to open more than one suitcase at a time.

Nous étions 2 et la chambre était propre et comfortable malgré sa petite taille. Tous les employés que nous avons rencontrés étaient accueillants et nous ont aidé quand nous avions besoin. Le déjeuner est simple mais délicieux étant donnée que les restaurants et cafés ouvrent plus tard dans la matinée. L’emplacement de l’hôtel est parfait, très central pour les choses à voir et accès très proche au transport publique.

The Ehwa in Myeongdong is a good hotel and the location to Myeongdong was perfect. The staff was friendly and answered questions as I went along in my adventures in Seoul. My room was perfect for my stay and clean.
Only word of caution, the hotel isn’t on the street so when the taxi stopped, I was told to walk up the hill to the entrance. The breakfast isn’t what I’d consider continental but it was available.

More like a hostel than a hotel. Breakfast is white bread, sweat cereal with synthetic milk that doesn't need refrigeration and a nasty boiled egg. Only stay there if you must stay near myeondong for less than $200. If you stay on the south side of the Han River you can get very nice hotels with real breakfast for less than$100. Subway is great

Room was really small for 4pax, and you have to ask them for towels etc… not like in any other hotel automatically if you check in more than 2 nights at least change the towels and tidy up the room, poor service. Even the lady at the front desk it seems like she always irritated when you ask her something no premier customer service at all. But the other guy name Sean kinda helpful. Air conditioning and heater works well except in our last night they disabled our AC unit. Breakfast was good at least they have bake eggs. Overall if you are looking for a convenient place this one is good,a little pricey but good area to explore Myeongdong.

Excellent location near the heart of Myeong-dong and close to multiple public transportation options. We would give Ehwa six stars for generously storing our extra luggage bags at the hotel while we went to Jeju Island for two days in the middle of our trip. Manager Dae was super communicative with us while we were away and kindly arranged a late check-in for us for when we returned to Seoul. The management and staff will give you the best hospitality here!

Room was practical and room+property was clean. My room was on the 4th floor and quiet (no noise neighbors) and minimal street noise (occasional siren but to be expected in a city)
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very much appreciated the water dispenser in the hallway to fill my bottle before heading out each day.

Bathroom was compact but fine for myself as a solo traveler.

This Hotel is more like an Inn, not a hotel.
Room is very basic, no drawers only a small open closet. The bathroom is very small, the shower area shares with lavatory.
We arrived in the hotel pass 11pm because our flight was delayed and it was already closed, I panicked where me and my family going to spend the night but luckily we figure out the door code and my key was left on the table. Being said this, the hotel most of the time has no person at the front desk, so you cannot leave your luggages if you want to spend the day when you check out early and have an evening flight because no one is going to look after it. Don't be fooled by \" Free Breakfast\" because they served only boiled egg and bread everyday. I took this hotel because I booked last minute and the overall review was Wonderful, I don't know how this hotel got a wonderful review. So many much better hotel around Myeondong and stay away from this hotel. The location is better though.

All is good, except the room is too small n no wardrobe n space to hang yr clothes. Location wise is excellent, walking distance to 7/11, shopping area, subway, bus stops, n accessible to everywhere.

To improve further, I can suggest to have a self laundry service.

Anyway, I will recommend this hotel to travellers out there.

Disappointing

Positives:
Convenient location
Well-equipped workspace in the lobby
Beautiful view from our room
Courteous check-in staff member
Efficient heating system
TV with YouTube and Netflix access
Reliable Wi-Fi
Room had a charming layout
Free umbrellas available for guest use

Negatives:
* Towel Policy: We were warned that makeup stains on towels would result in a fine. This policy felt unfair and stressful, especially since makeup use isn’t limited to women and even thorough cleansing can leave faint traces. White towels only exacerbate this issue.
* Staff Presence: The hotel staff was rarely available. We encountered just three employees during our stay, and they were not approachable. Upon arrival, the front desk was empty due to the “cleaning period” (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM or 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM). A phone number was provided for emergencies, but as tourists, we couldn’t make local calls.
* No Elevator to the 8th Floor: We stayed in a VIP room on the 8th floor, but there was no elevator access—a major inconvenience given the size of the room, which could accommodate up to eight people. Carrying heavy luggage up narrow, winding stairs without assistance was exhausting.
* Bathroom Issues: The shower and toilet were combined in a cramped space, with yellow-stained grout.
* Dirty Walls: The walls were visibly stained, which detracted from the room's overall appearance.
* Hazardous Room Design: The room appeared to be a converted attic, with low, drywall-covered beams that posed a tripping

RUN AWAY if you can, this place is terrible, terrible, they don't clean your room even if you ask and request it, they are passive aggressive and they say yes to everything but NOTHING GETS DONE. There is almost nobody at the front desk ever, therefore is almost impossible to get help or orientation to navigate Seoul.
The room is terrible with the WORST SEWER odor all over your room that at a times it feels sofocating AND IS HARD TO BREATH, I am surprise they allow a place like this to operate.
There is NOT a real SHOWER, there is a place next to the toilet that is a shower and sink, if you take a shower and then need to brush your teeth TOO BAD your feet is going to get wet and remember they don't change the towels, they have this nasty rubber sandals NOT DISPOSABLES, everybody uses the same, just be aware of fungus infections and bacterias...
If you are broke and want a good location because this is the only good thing about this place, it has a great location, this is your place.
If you want a decent place this is not your place, this is most like a hostel.
Their breakfast is terrible, everyday the same same same basic things, if you arrive 20 mins. before closing time there is NO COFFEE and they don't make more because I asked and they didn't bother to make more coffee even though it was only 9:40 a.m. they say the operating hours for breakfast is 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. go early if you want a free cup of coffee.
If there were 0 stars that is what this place deserves it.

First the good: the location is really good - close to the Myeongdong center, subway station and the airport bus stop. Then not so good: the hotel room and bathroom were small (which we expected). The cleaning was supposed to be according to the following schedule: no cleaning after the first day, new towels and garbage pickup after the second and then sheet replacement after the third. We were staying for 3 nights so I expected to have at least the towels replaced and the garbage collected but it didn't happen. Probably because of the wet towels the whole room became quite stuffy.

I stayed twice at this hotel with my aunt (이모) and hopefully will stay again in the nearest future, next May. It was a blessing to find this \"hidden gem\" at the Myeongdong's heart. Everything is perfect: the unbeatable location, friendly and very helpful stuff, cleanliness, food/breakfast freshness.

Clean space and rather quiet given the area which was nice! The beds are a bit firm in my opinion but besides that it was a great stay!

The Ehwa Hotel was very clean and a good location for shopping and Myeongdong street food (right around the corner!). The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast was very simple and okay. Beds were pretty firm but still doable. The rooms are very small, but we were able to fit two large and one medium luggage, one carryon, and two backpacks, plus items we purchased in our room. The bathroom was very interesting. The shower was part of the sink and a shower curtain separated the sink/shower area from the toilet (see pic). But again it was doable.
The issue to be aware of is the road in front of the hotel is for walking only. Therefore, taxis can not drive and drop you off in front of the hotel. It's about a half block walk up the hill to the hotel front door. Not bad, but something to be aware of. Overall for the price, cleanliness and location of the Ehwa Hotel it was a good value.

It’s really great location for myeongdong shopping and take bus to airport. This hotel is very good except room is too small. Staff is friendly. We spent three nights and feel luck to pick the right hotel.

Walking distance to Myeongdong/ central location in Seoul is the best part about this stay. Everything else is just average. Breakfast is cereal, toast and an egg. Small bathrooms, not supposed to flush toilet paper. Need to put it in the trash. Front desk says they have a cleaning policy but they don’t perform cleaning unless you specifically request it. It’s manageable for a solo traveler for 1-2 days but not ideal. If you’re traveling with two people just go for a nicer hotel across the street.

Overall, the hotel is good: staff, location, cleanliness, very nice room, drinking water available outside the room. These things make our family not happy with the hotel: 1) we stayed on 8th floor, the elevator only goes up to the 7th floor. We had to carry all luggage (some were 50 lbs/ 23kg) up the stairs from 7th to 8th floor. 2) bathrooms were too small for toilet, sink and shower. No hooks in bathroom to hang clothes when showering.

EHWA is what it says it is. Functional, clean and smartly designed- space has been well utilized, as there is so little of it. Tiny rooms, but hey at this price and location, I'm not complaining - besides I came to experience Seoul not EHWA! The breakfast they offer is generic basic, we went to the plethora of cafes in hood for excellent coffee, Koreans LOVE good coffee,
and local restaurants for local food.

Dae and Sean were so kind and helpful. The location was in a great spot, close to Namsan Tower and the subways and busses. The room I rented had a view of Namsan Tower too!! It was very clean and comfortable. Within walking distance was the Myeongdong Street Market!! Which was great for late night cravings. I would recommend EHWA and would stay here again.

Room was quite small--luckily we travel light (just carryon luggage) and there were two of us in a three person room, so we could use single bed as a storage area. Very limited shelf or hanging space. Sign in bathroom asked us not to flush toilet paper, just put it in a lidded waste can. They told us they had problems with toilet clogging, but we had no problem. Breakfast was toast, hard boiled egg, cold cereal of two types, coffee, tea orange drink. Staff friendly and helpful. Located near a lively shopping area with lots of food stalls.

Okay for convenience

Clean but very small room and the tiniest bathroom. I had the single room since solo traveler. Staff were nice though. Continental breakfast was just basic toast, egg, jam, cereals and milk. Hotel is located on an uphill street so it was hard to get to with bags. Around 8 minutes walk for an older adult (not 5 mins as they say), from the Myeongdong Bus station, which you can catch from and to Incheon airport. Myeongdong street (with the night market) and other shops are close by. Just a 5 minute walk from the hotel.

This is an excellent value in a great location. The night market is just around the corner, the cathedral is behind the hotel, and the best coffee shop on earth is a short walk away. If you like walking, you can get to the Seoul Tower in less than 30 minutes, upscale shopping, awesome open markets, and the subway are all nearby, and the downtown district is a lovely stroll down the creek-walk.
The staff are wonderful, friendly, and helpful, and the rooms are well equipped (if a little crowded).

This is a great place to stay for first timers in South Korea. Hotel is really centrally located and right next to the shopping center in Myeongdong. You're also close to all of the bus stations and subways so getting around Seoul was super convenient. Once again location was perfect so I could drop in during the day to take a break before going back out.

As one would expect with the price, room is very simple and makes good use of the space. Heads up that room cleaning is not automatic, you'll need to request it from the front desk which is fine.

Breakfast is very simple, just bread, fruit, juice and coffee. This was fine for me.

Overall I would recommend staying here, and plan on it again if I come back to Korea.

There is no daily housekeeping. Nobody change the bed skirt and no new towels provided. You have to ask in order to get a towel replacement. The bathroom is so small. There is no bathtub. The driver is not allowed to park outside the hotel to pick up guests. The hotel only gives you one key even though you have three people. You need to pay $20,000 wons in order to get one extra key. From my point of view, this is not even a hotel but an air b&b only.

This hotel was fine for our family. We are big, noisy, obnoxious, American family and people complained to the hotel because they could hear our toddler crying below us early in the morning when our body clocks hadn’t changed after our flight yet. But the location was super convenient and the room was clean. It would be nice if they were on a regular cleaning schedule instead of waiting to be asked.

Location is good. The room was clean and cozy. We had a free breakfast, but it's just cereals and breads so we didn't really eat there. Only issue we had was that they wouldn't give you new towels if you request for them unless it falls on the day they do the cleaning service. And if you missed the scheduled days, they won't get your bed linens changed. Double check on how they count the days (they considered your Day 1 on the day you checked in).
