    by Vita500
    The outstanding success of Accor's first Hotel Ibis in Seoul, the Ibis Seoul in Gangnam, has led to a second Ibis being approved to develop, this time in Seoul’s notorious shopping district: Myeong-dong. The hotel opened its doors in May 2006 and is the first new 3-star hotel within the past two years

    Staying at one of the 280 hotel rooms of the Ibis Myeong-dong, sitting on top of 9 levels of retail outlets, can be recommended to all travelers who do not want to stay at guesthouses but still want to enjoy living in a prime location while paying sensational low rates.

    Amenities
    - restaurant
    - bar
    - sauna / spa
    - gym
    - meeting facilities

    As in most Ibis hotels, the rooms will probably be tiny but functional. Views will be limitied due to the high number of skyscrapers in the vicinity (don't take the picture as reference) but people who choose to stay at an Ibis hotel usually don't spend too much time indoors anyway.

    The hotel lobby / front desk is located on the 19th floor with a splendid view across Myeong-dong.

    Rates
    The Ibis Myeong-dong offers three kinds of room categories:

    a) Double Room: 99,000 KRW (Sat); 112,200 KRW (Sun - Fri)

    • It's conveniently located in the heart of Myeong dong. The hotel is modern and clean. Room size is average.
    They do have a FREE shuttle that stops in front of the KAL building. From there, a limousine bus goes straight to the airport (but you do have to pay for it)

    The staff's English are okay and they're friendly I like their FREE internet access in the lobby. They have 3 terminals. It's very busy at night. If you want to use it. Be there in the morning.

    One complain is that I find that the hotel room is too warm!

    Great view of Namsan tower

    Hotel Ibis Myeong-Dong: Watch out for extra charges    Check Rates

    • Was told the price was 114,000 Korean Won (US$92) on the phone, but when I got there the price listed behind the reception desk was 109,000 (US$87). They refused to give me the lower price. Also, they charged me for 2 local phone calls. The carpet was dirty both in the landing outside the elevators, in the hallways and in the room. No toiletry amenities were in the room (tootbrush, etc.), no clock in the room and the room was very small. Definitely not worth the price that I paid.

    • Suggest to book ahead, since the have "supply and demand rates". When the hotel is almost full the charge you 20'000 to 40'000 Won more than the usual rate.

    You get the usual: TV, Safe, Fridge.

    Very good location between Myeong-dong and Cheonggyecheon (small river). The bathrooms are very cool, with wooden floor and round shower.

    We stayed at the Hotel Ibis Myeong-dong 18-21 July 2009. This hotel was chosen for its location and having only a few days in Seoul, we do not want to spend time travelling to do our shopping.
    This hotel is situated right smack in the trendy shopping area of Myeong Dong. Across from the hotel linked by an underpass is the famous Lotte Departmental store.
    The reception is on the 19th floor. We arrived early (8am)and were told that the room was ready but we have to pay an additional 30000 krw otherwise we have to wait till 12.30.
    The receptionist who attended to us was not very friendly and spoke limited English. We left our bags in the storage room and went to Burgur King about 100meters away for breakfast and did some browsing at Myeong Dong as the shops were beginning to open for business.
    Our room on the 15th floor came with a double bed, coffee making facilities, safe and free internet. Room size was just right for two people and the bathroom was very compact with a shower stand which is all we needed. Room was clean and comfortable but had no view as there was an office block across.
    If we were to be in Seoul again, will definitely stay here for its convenience.

    There is a gym and pool / hottub at the hotel. But we did not have time to use this facility.

    For $80 - $100 USD per night, the Seoul Ibis Hotel at Myeong-Dong is a great hotel for those on a budget or not looking to spend too much money. What sets this hotel apart from other budget hotels in Seoul is the location. Located in Myeong-dong (literally a few steps from the Myeong-dong shopping street), the convenience of this hotel is hard to match.

    Subway access is within a really short walking distance. The hotel is located within a 5 minute walk from the City Hall area. One block over is the Westin Chosun hotel and another block over is the Seoul Plaza Hotel. Within walking distance is the Namdaemun Market.

    The room is the smallest of any hotel I've stayed at in Seoul. So is the bathroom. If you don't plan on spending a lot of time in your hotel room, then this will do. Most of the rooms have a very nice view of the Myeong-dong area. If you don't bring a laptop computer, free internet access is available in the lobby of the hotel. Staff members spoke good english and were very friendly. The restaurant on the top floor was a great place to grab a drink at night. It has a great view and a great place for conversation.

    If I want to spend less than $100 USD per night on future trips to Seoul, this hotel will be my top choice. The main reason this hotel beats other budget hotels is the location and convenience.
