Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul

Lotte Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent
"Our 32nd floor room in the Executive Tower was elegant and dead quiet. The bed was super-comfortable and the Diptyque toiletries were a real luxury (although the bathrobes are not made for well-fed bodies!). Already centrally located in Myeongdong, the ability to visit the impressive Lotte department store Food Hall without stepping outside was a bonus on rainy days, or when we just wanted some fresh fruit for our room. Service throughout the hotel complex was impeccable. Seoul is a massive city with many hotels to choose from, but if you don't want to stay in a traditional hanok house, I would highly recommend the Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower!"
