Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun is an amazing hotel! It is about a 10 minutes walk to 2 different subway stations. There are also plenty of eateries and coffee kiosks nearby. The breakfast spread is also great, there is a great mix of Korean and international food. For smokers, there is a smoking lounge of every floor of the hotel. There is also a communal kitchen on every floor, you can get those famous Korean instant noodles from the convenience store at the lobby and have the noodles in the kitchen. Room size is decent, my trip was 8 days with lots of shopping and there was still enough space to open 4 luggage. And Dongdaemun is an area that becomes lively at night, and the huge wholesale centers are right next door. Oh yes you can see the Cheonggyecheon stream from the room window, depending on which wing you are staying at. There is also a fantastic view from the hotel breakfast restaurant. And you can walk to Gwangjang Market. There are so many good things about this hotel!

【Review of Hotel Sky Myeongdong, Seoul, Korea】— A City Choice with Excellent Location but Room for Improvement

For my recent trip to Seoul, I stayed at the highly recommended Hotel Sky Myeongdong. My overall experience can be described as a mix of pros and cons, making it suitable for travelers who prioritize convenience but don't have high demands for facilities.

🌟 Location: An Unbeatable, King-Tier Advantage
The hotel's biggest highlight is definitely its location! Situated in the heart of Myeongdong, it's a 3-minute walk to Myeongdong Station (Subway Line 4) and a 5-minute walk to Lotte Duty Free Shop and Shinsegae Department Store. The surrounding area is bustling with restaurants, convenience stores, currency exchange booths, and cosmetic shops. For avid shoppers and first-time visitors to Seoul, this location is a lifesaver, allowing you to shop until 10 PM and return to the hotel without any hassle.

🏨 Room Experience: Small but Complete, Manage Your Expectations
I stayed in a standard double room, which was about 18㎡, typical of a Korean city hotel – small but fully equipped. The bedding was clean and comfortable, and soundproofing was decent (though street-facing rooms had some traffic noise). However, the facilities clearly showed their age: drainage in the bathroom was a bit slow, some power outlets had poor contact, and the air conditioning was somewhat noisy. A highlight was the window view from the upper floors, offering a scenic overlook of Myeongdong's nightscape, great for photos.

💁 Service and Facilities: Standard Business-like Approach
The front desk offered Chinese and English services, making communication smooth, but the staff's attitude was rather robotic, lacking warmth. The hotel provides a basic gym and a coin-operated self-service laundry room, suitable for long-term guests. Breakfast options were limited, mainly consisting of Korean side dishes, bread, and salads, with average taste. I'd recommend trying local breakfast spots instead.

⚠️ Minor Drawbacks: A Question of Value for Money
The weekday rate was around 150,000 Korean Won per night (approximately 800 RMB), which is a mid-range price for the Myeongdong area. However, the aging facilities diminished its value for money. Additionally, the hotel does not provide disposable toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own, and elevator wait times can be long during peak hours.

📌 Summary: Who is it for? Who is it not for?
✅ Recommended for: First-time visitors to Korea, those primarily focused on shopping, and travelers who highly prioritize location.
❌ Not recommended for: Those seeking a luxurious experience, who value spacious rooms, or are extremely light sleepers.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5
The location advantage is excellent, but if the hotel were to invest in facility renovations, the experience would improve significantly. It's a good option for a short stay, but for longer trips, it's advisable to compare with newer hotels in the area.

The room was generally clean and tidy. The front desk staff spoke Chinese, and everyone was very polite. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the nearest metro station. Also, this hotel doesn't use key cards; you have to enter a code for the elevator and to get into your room.

Excellent location and very clean . 
Staff was very friendly and courteous always willing to help . Aziz at front desk very helpful .
Mr Jae-seok Yang was always eager to help as it was our ist trip to Seoul and made our stay very comfortable. We also met with Bingguo Quan and he too was very kind. These reflects kind of management Hotel Skypark provides . 
Hats off to all the cleaning , breakfast and front desk staff . They all made our week very comfortable . ..
Breakfast was fresh and delicious , however ,
Some tiny daily variation would have been nicer . 
WILL DEFINITELY RETURN

The location is incredibly convenient. The airport shuttle drops you off in Myeongdong, and it's just a short walk to the hotel. There's a 7-Eleven and a subway station right downstairs, making daily life super easy. The room is a bit small, but we had no problem opening both a 28-inch and a 24-inch suitcase at the same time. The window is quite small, but for a trip where you're not spending much time in the hotel, it's perfectly adequate. The bathroom space is decent, but the showerhead is over the bathtub, which can be a bit awkward when showering. Also, Korean toilet paper is really thin, but they give you a generous supply!

The room was bigger than I expected. It's quite convenient for shopping in Myeongdong. It's also very helpful that the front desk staff can speak Chinese. There's a water dispenser in the hallway, and the toiletries in the room are good. There's even a hairdryer. The only thing is you have to stand in the bathtub to shower, but the water pressure is excellent.

Facilities: Booked for a friend, so no issues from me.
Hygiene: Should be alright, otherwise, she would have complained.
Environment: What environment? It's just okay, nothing special.
Service: No service to speak of, she didn't mention any.

Many thanks to the pretty lady who heard my complaints and comforted me the other day! It’s not her fault but she had to listen to me and take all my bad emotions just because it’s her job responsibility. I like her a lot and wish her all the best for the coming new year! 🧝♀️🧚🏻♀️💖
