I moved to this hotel after three nights in Insadong where the street parties go till 2am. I was happy to be in a quieter and cleaner area, and the hotel is conveniently located to subway, airport limousine bus and many restaurants, ATM machines, coffee shops etc. I checked in around 6pm and was happy to find that the Deoksugung Palace down the street is open for visitors till 8pm so I got to walk the grounds in the evening, along with Seoul Plaza which was bustling. The early AM meeting place for my DMZ tour was also around the corner so that was convenient. Front reception staff was very nice and helpful and held my luggage after check out for the day while i was sightseeing. Great looking cafe in the lobby with amazing spread of pastries, and I saw a spirited world cup gathering when i was leaving. I didnt get to enjoy many of the amenities and lost my credit card somewhere in the neighborhood that evening LOL but overall location and comfort, cleanliness and price, this hotel checked all my solo traveler boxes! **My ONLY complaint was lack of electrical outlets to charge devices in the room, the only one in 'plain sight' was above the bathroom sink and it didnt work so i had to pull out the nightstand, unplug the lamp and alarm clock to charge up. Thats ridiculous in these times when devices are super critical for travel.

Great location, staff very helpful. The main issue we had was with the bathroom. There is a shower stall and a toilet stall in the bedroom, with frosted glass surrounding each stall. There is not a separate room with a door that can be closed. There is a curtain that can be pulled across the room to separate this bathroom area from the beds, but overall very little privacy. We often went downstairs to use the lobby bathroom instead, but it seems like they would close this overnight after around 10pm. Maybe ok if just travelling with immediate family, but we were also with a friend, so not ideal.

The staff were exceptionally helpful, courteous, and professional throughout our stay. One staff member was particularly knowledgeable about the local area and provided excellent recommendations for food, shopping, and places of interest around the hotel.

The doormen were also very attentive and assisted us with our luggage. We were especially impressed by their kindness and professionalism, as they politely declined our offer of a tip.

The café offered a wonderful selection of delicious buns and pastries, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel amenities were also excellent and contributed to a very comfortable stay.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would gladly recommend this hotel to others.

The staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was well maintained, however small things like the shower curtain being too short, leading to water being all over the floor was annoying and potential hazard.
The buffet breakfast was poor, little options. It was cheap but still not worth it. The Cafe at the lobby was a stand out by comparison.
I liked the quieter location on the outskirts of Myeongdong. Close to certain landmarks, many walking distance.

Great location. Close to the train station and food options in the area. Room was nice and clean.

Shower curtain was a little short, so there was a lot of water leaking onto the floor. As the weather is cooler outside. The AC in the room was set to heating only mode and could not be changed to cooling, or at least I didnt figure out how to change it. It was way too hot in the room overnight. Other than those issues, the stay was great.

Room was spacious enough and had the amenities you'd need. There are steps in front of the hotel so it made it difficult to carry heavy luggages. The two staff members who sat by the entrance door were very helpful and kind to carry the lugagge for us. Room service was provided daily, if you wanted. If you opted out of room service, the kind ladies still left the free daily water and towels by the door. The offer luggage storage before check in and after check out. The only negative was just the heater. We went during winter so it was cold in the room. The heater took a few hours to heat up when we turned it on ourselves but when the front desk turned it on for us, it warmed up automatically, which was odd.

Hotel is very well located, with easily accessible subway lines, airport limousine bus and multiple bus stops. It's close to the city hall and the Gyeongbokgung palace, and it was a nice walk.
One point of concern is that the bathroom doesn't have a wall separating it from the beds, only frosted glass around the shower and the toilet, with only a curtain that divided the two spaces. Since we are travelling as group this was awkward and we had to use the lobby toilets frequently to have some privacy.
The beds were confortable and there was actual windows with a very nice view of the city.

We stayed for 4 nights in one of the bigger rooms on the 15th floor. There were 2 king beds.
Pros:
-There was a pantry with a microwave and sink and a laundry room (chargeable) on the 16th floor.
-2 lifts were fast
-train stations are within walking distance
-myeongdong is within 15 mins of walking
-Rooms are clean
-nice sitting area
-housekeeping is fast
Cons:
-there are steps leading up to lobby. Inconvenient with big luggage. Slope is at the back of the hotel, near the restaurant.
-room has no view. Blocked by tall buildings
-receptionist didn't speak English very well.
-separate lift to laundry and pantry was inconvenient
-not many eateries nearby
-aircon controls were in Korean. Even with Google translation, it was cold so we switched it off.
-check out time at 10am was early.
-breakfast was 7 to 9am. Too short. It should be till at least 10am.
Overall, it was ok.

The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The in-room wifi was my only complaint - as it was a little weak/spotty - but I imagine 99% of guests wouldn't even notice.

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel New Seoul! The location is perfect - quiet, clean, and conveniently situated near City Hall train station. The concierge lady was very helpful during our evening check-in, making the process smooth and efficient. We appreciated that she even provided us with fresh towels daily, despite us not requiring housekeeping. The hotel's proximity to amenities like CU and Olive Young was a bonus. The hotel's location is also great for exploring nearby attractions on foot. You can walk to Myeong-dong in about 30 minutes. If you're looking for some natural beauty, the famous Cheonggyecheon Stream is just a 15-minute walk behind the hotel. For shopping, Lotte Supermarket at Seoul Station is only three bus stops away. Plus, the airport limousine bus stop is within a 10-minute walk, making travel convenient. We'll definitely be back!

The property is on a small street. We booked a family suite with loft and that is on theb16th floor. The regular elevator only goes to 15th floor so we had to change elevators everytime we entered and left the unit. The other elevator is the service elevator and it smelled like trash.
The hot water in the shower was inconsistent. It would get really hot and then cool down, so not sure of it was just our unit or if the other ones had same issue but the water pressure was good.
The check out is 11am, which seems a bit early. Asked for late checked out and they charge 10k won per hour. There was no clear direction on how to get to the airport bus so walked a bit to find it.
