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. Overall, its good!

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.

Okay hotel in the city center

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. ~Alyona / Elena from San Diego, California

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.
