“Centrally Located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011
5
people found this review helpful

We stayed at the hotel for a single night in NOV11. The location (Myeongdong) is probably its biggest plus - centrally located and opposite a big shopping area, an underground (subway) station is just across the road and many 'tourist sites' are within 20 minutes walk. The last stop of the airport shuttle (#6015) is opposite the hotel which makes the transfer that much easier.

The hotel itself is good. A little run down but clean and provides all basic amenities you would need for a pleasant stay. The staff were very friendly.

My only real complaint about the room was the air conditioning...or lack of. Since we were there in November the hotel had turned off all a/c (presumably because they thought it wasn't need in the winter). We found our room to be too warm but a quick phone call to reception and a large electrical fan was delivered to the room.

“Prince Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Standard room is perfect for solo traveller, and hotel is located only fifteen feet from Subway station that will take you anywhere in city. Central location of hotel made it easy to see all sights of city, and only one subway stop away from Seoul Station. There are computers available for use in lobby and staff were very friendly.

Hotel is near Seoul Tower, and across the street from Myeong-dong shopping area, but unfortunately not that many eating options in area as compared to other areas, and there are no nightclubs nearby. Takes about 30 mins on subway to get to nightclub/entertainment district of Hongdae, which was about W10,000 to get back to hotel by taxi (cheap)

“Great location for tourist.”

We initially wanted to book Prince hotel for 7 nights unfortunately we were only able to get the first 2 nights, so we had to switch to Ibis Myeongdong (see my next review).

From the airport we took limousine bus 6015 to Sejong Hotel/Myeongdong Station (same stop), you can also take limousine bus 6001 to the same stop. Prince hotel is located on the opposite side of the road, so we had to carry our luggage up and down the tunnel crossing which is not cool.

We checked in around 11+ am, one room was ready and the other room isn't which is fine by us since check in time is usually 2 pm. The room itself is very small we had 2 medium luggage and a cabin trolley and we couldn't walk. But they do provide toiletries, which is a major plus point as most hotels in Seoul is known to not provide them. The room itself is pretty basic and clean. The staffs are very courteous, but they only speak very basic English, so communications may be hard sometimes.

The major plus point of the hotel is location. Across the road is Myeongdong, the shopping mecca of Seoul. You have a 24 hours family mart and Paris Baguette bakery next to the hotel as well. The MRT is right at the doorstep of the hotel. If you are planning to go up Namsan Tower, you can take a short hike up the side road, a short walk down the hotel, to the cable car station.

Do pick up maps from the lobby, they provide maps for Myeongdong, Seoul and the MRT.

“Awesome place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

This hotel is very convenient. It's opposite the shopping area of Korea. With alot of shopping and food. Hotel was very clean and spacious. There is a cafe beside the hotel. It was near the airport bus too. However, the bus stop is at the opposite side of the road. There was no lift or escalator to the underground. The staff was very helpful and patient. I would go back to the hotel again and recommend it to my friends.

Prince Hotel Seoul is for those whose want an amazing location, very clean rooms, but nothing more than that. This is a hotel for people that wants a place to sleep and leave your shopping bags at... and this suits me very well. Breakfast could be better, but the staff is very helpful and kind. The rates are very reasonable for what Prince Seoul offers as well as the prices usually charged in this South Korea city. I shall be returning and recommend it!
