Good

We stayed at Oriens 2 bedroom Suite for 8 nights and it was great! The room was big equiped with kitchenette, washer & dryer function. We do hope that they will improve by having 2 bathroom instead of 1 for the 2 bedroom suite. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They assisted us to book hotel transfers and even hailed us a cab when we requested. Hotel is conveniently at Chungmu-ro station and walkin distance to Myeongdong. :) very convenient. Thank you Oriens Hotel & Residence for your assistance during our stay and you definitely made our 1st trip to Korea an enjoyable and memorable one.

I stayed for 4 nights with my daughter and a friend of mine. When I got the room card and went upstairs, the room smelled musty. When I touched the duvet, I thought it was dry, but when I sat on the bed, it was a little damp, like my pants were wet. I tried to change room, but there were one other rooms left, and to change to the one remaining room would cost me another 400,000 won, so I decided to stay. First of all, the duvet is old, a little bit tattered, and it's very heavy when you put it on. When I tried to open the window to ventilate the room, there was a long hole in the side of the mosquito net, so I couldn't open it. The next day, the hotel taped it up with clear tape. There's a washing machine, but you have to buy detergent for it, and being from a foreign country, I didn't know what kind of detergent to use. It was nice that they provided a bottled water every day. I had a hard time getting to the hotel by taxi because the drivers didn't know where the hotel was. The hotel is on the side of a mountain, so the lobby is on the fourth floor, and the back door is closer to the Chungmuro station, so we went down to the first floor and used the back door a lot. The back door is very dark at night. There are two stairs with quite a long gap between them, and it's hard to see at night. My friend went to the hospital because the rail at the end of the stairs came off and she fell. Her right ligament was torn. Luckly bones were ok.

Friendly staff. Plenty space. Clean

The room had a small kitchen area (which we had forgotten about since we booked several months prior) with a laundry machine, which is very convenient! The room was really nice, the air conditioning was on point - we didn't manage it, I think it was automatic. Not too cold, not too warm. Everything was great overall. I also want to add points for great service ! The hotel team is really nice and friendly. I lost my bank card after one day in Seoul and they directly contacted the last shop I went to. My card has been found after I left for Busan and the staff contacted me directly, and kept it safe for me. 🥹 Thank you so so much ❤️

Very spacious and comfortable rooms, feels more like an apartment than a hotel! Our bathtub was a little high so just mind your step. We had a wonderful stay with amazing service :)

The staffs were so professional and friendly. And price was reasonable. However, the hotel room smelled bad and had some mold in the washroom. I think I will stay other hotels when I visit Seoul again.

Lovely hotel just on the outskirts of Myeongdong. Only a few minutes walk from the main Myeongdong shopping street where you can go for all your beauty products and late night street food. Room was very spacious and clean and the staff were very helpful and polite.

Polite, nice, helpful, english speaking staffs. Walkable shopping and dining choices. Hotel is in Meongdong area which is nice, you're close to the action yet the hotel is quiet and close to nature. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great service 👏 Very helpful staff. Definitely recommend

Great location. Steps away from subway that takes you everywhere. Close to shopping markets. Property is old and needs some upkeep.

Walkable to Myeong dong and too many restaurants close by. Staffs very friendly.

Staff are very helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

We had three beds and two rooms with a kitchen and laundry. The laundry is small and takes a while. Not sure if this is normal for Korea. The bathroom is small but doable. But you can tell it needs to be remodeled. When you leave, you do have to walk a bit to the subway station and make sure you know there is a basement level that is an entry way. We walked uphill to the lobby and it’s actually on the 4th floor! It takes about 15 mins to walk to Myeongdong market.

Its a good property with really nice and helpful staff. Rooms and beds very comfy. Just an older hotel so some fixtures are outdated

Great things are: The front desk staff is very nice and speak English. The front desk arranged a taxi and shuttle when we needed it. Our deluxe suite 2 bedroom was very quiet, equipped with kitchen and washer/dryer. The TV was pretty good and surprisingly the Netflix worked. The housekeeper cleaned the room daily. 4 free bottles of water daily. The hotel is very close to Chungmuro subway station so one can travel from there. Close by, there is a GS25 and Emart. Walking distance to the Namsan cable car and Myungdong district. Seoul station and Lotte Mart are not far by subway. Minor quibbles: the washer/dryer took 5 hours to wash/dry the clothes. Due to use of air conditioner and washer/dryer, the circuit breaker would go off, and then the front desk staff showed us how to switch it back on, and we had to flip the switch several times. But it always switched back on. There is no restaurant or buffet in this hotel, which is not what their website says. But this wasn’t a big deal for us.

Good size rooms, in a great location, with walking distance to subway

Hotel was easy to get to. The staff was very friendly and the room was cleaned everyday.

Generally this is a pretty nice hotel. It is convenient and walkable to subway station, especially Chungmuro station. There is a Emart24 nearby which you can get your necessities conveniently. Walkable to Myeongdong Night Market but requires you to cross 3 streets.

Our stay here was just average. The location was convenient to transport and local activities. However the quality of the room and amenities was lacking. There is no sunlight as the windows were overlooking an enclosed alley nor was there any air flow other than the one fan in the kitchen. Bathroom was extremely tiny and flooded when the tub drain was released. This needs a major upgrade. Even asking staff for one additional towel to clean the wet floor resulted in two calls and a lengthy explanation.

Everything about staying here was perfect, we did not eat in the restaurant at all so can't review that. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The 2 bedroomed apartment was better than expected, had everything we needed, it all worked perfectly, cleaners were great, beds comfortable, good shower and plenty of space. I will reccomend this place to anyone staying in Seoul. Smaller bedroom had no window and was very warm even with the air-conditioning.

Good location and perfect size for families.

Front staffs were very kind and helped for ordering/delivering food service.

Good

Staff helpful and friendly Room generous and clean

The hotel was lovely and is situated in a really good location that is close to many tourist hotspots like Myeongdong and Insadong. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again for my next trip :) - Vidya

Located center of Seoul. Good location

Property was very clean and staff is wonderful and helpful! My only complaint is the noise from other rooms.I would like to recommend this hotel for its location and staff.

Unclean, window doesn’t go anywhere so no natural light. Swarms of flies in the room when I moved in, more and more flies every day. Moved to an airbnb after 3 days.

Hotels was able to arrange airport transfer. Check-in was fuss free. Place was clean. Gym was surprisingly decent. Staff aided us in ordering food, and printing documents with no questions asked. The only downside is the walking to shopping area and public transport. But the price was good as a result, so I can't complain!

Pros: roughly 4 mins from Chungmuro Station, 2 mins from the closest convenience store, 1 min from the police station. The gym was decent and clean. Cons: I stayed on the 3rd floor and accessed the 1st floor to enter/exit the hotel and oh boy those floors have that “old building” stinky smell that you would want to puke. There were hairs on the bathroom floor in my room. The female staffs at the front desk did not smile when greeting customer and when I dropped off my luggage early because I had an red eye flight, the look on their faces was displeased. However the gentleman who helped me brought my luggages to my room was cheerful and helpful.

excellent staffs, location and cleanliness.
