The location of the hotel is in Myeongdong which is was the best part of staying there. Although the hotel is named the Grand Hotel, I would say that the rooms are not very grand at all. There were many things wrong with it. First, and most importantly, they did not have the AC on, even though that feature is listed on Expedia's website as an amenity. Upon check in, we were told that they do not turn the AC on until summer (they said this was normal for hotels during this season). Well, that was news to us. They told us to open the windows (which let all the outside traffic noise in) .One of us has asthma and a hot room is not very conducive to that condition. We were given a fan instead, which helped a little, but was not what we expected when we booked. The lights are dim and yellow. The shower head sprayed everywhere else except on you because the holes on the spray were plugged from minerals. The cabinet door to the small fridge was broken. If it were not for the convenient location to the shopping at Myeongdong, I would not recommend staying here. There are plenty of other choices in the area. We met others that stayed at nearby hotels and their AC worked just fine (had nothing to do with the season).

The Grand Hotel is in one of the best locations in Myeong-Dong. It’s a nice beautiful accommodation. Everything at your doorstep. Public Transport is walking distance. Staff were very helpful, friendly and well organised. Our hotel room was clean (I didn’t see a speck of mold in the bathroom). I highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed at the hotel for one night. The location was very convenient, with many dining options and shopping available. The room was spacious; however, the interior was outdated, and there was a strong smell when I entered the room.

The hotel is located at the end of Myeongdong. It is quiet, run down and quite noisy during the mid night whereby can hear the people talking around and rubbish truck. The restaurant opposite the hotel is open till late mid-nite, kind of noisy and the spot light directly shine in the hotel room. I will not recommend this hotel. There are many other hotel surrounded the MD street.
