LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Location was great, walking distance to many attractions and easy to navigate around the city. Staff was friendly and the room was clean. I appreciated being able to lock our luggage in the luggage storage room so we could explore some more until it was time to go to the airport. Would recommend."
