Myeongdong Merlin Hotel

i like the location. it's at the center of all. can walk going to myeongdong :)) free bottled water everyday. can get water anytime. + WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!

nothing!

The property is not that grand, just average. They first gave us a room where ac was not working, it was so hot, suffocating almost. It took about one hour to try and fix it but they eventually moved us to a new room

The owner guy was so rude! To us and to his staff. We didn’t like his attitude!!

I really liked the location—very convenient and easy to get around.

The room’s air conditioning didn’t work well, and it was too hot to sleep comfortably. The bed was also uncomfortable and could be improved.

Good location. Elevator. Water kettle present. Most basic amenities.

Location

Washer and Dryer should work. Bathroom needs upgrade

Its strategic. its near to everywhere. and its affordable especially for solo traveller.

Staff was very friendly, room was spacious and very clean. New towels daily. Location is simply amazing. So close to every possible transportation. Also walking distance from Namsan Tower and Myeongdong shopping district. Quiet at night. I would definitely return. 10/10.

there was nothing I didn't like.

A terrible experience. We heard all the traffic noise from the road and definitely do not recommend

We heard all the traffic noise from the avenue outside and did not sleep well. Beds are not comfortable; Room was small (our family room with 5 beds are definitely smaller than 30 m2: even a child cannot stand straight on the so-called “duplex” and on the stairs, the bathroom ridiculously compact: be prepared to wet your feet if you want to enter after a shower!The manager, a man in the fifties, was rude, talked to us like dogs, didn’t try to help us get a taxi. We left after one night, paying willingly the cancellation fees to get out of this nightmare.

The location is good, but I guess that depends on what you're in Seoul for. It's pretty central in terms of the city itself, so that's a plus. However, if you're more interested in hiking in the Bukhansan National Park in the north of the city (like I was), you could probably do a bit better in terms of location. To be fair, the metro system is pretty good, so even at this location, it's not much of a problem to get anywhere within Seoul.

Not sure what to say. It seemed as if this place was transitioning from an apartment building to a hotel, but it was in a limbo stage. The place where we stayed was essentially a studio, but without the benefits of a studio. A washing machine that's labelled as 'broken,' but which is clearly just unplugged, a stove with the dials removed so that you can't turn it on...When we stayed there, it was exceptionally cold (around -7 to -18C). There is an AC in the room, but it only blows cold air. Awesome. We eventually got a space heater (after being refused a second blanket for some incomprehensible reason), which made the room tolerable, but needless to say, none of this was ideal. Just to be clear - this is *not* a hotel, or at least it's not yet.

I like the free coffee and staff is friendly

washing machine is not working , it’s a little bit small place

Simple setup for our delux family suite that caters to 5 pax in a duplex. Really good if u need to travel with family. Price was reasonable.

No cooking and we understand why but there is a pantry below for heating up food.

The toiletries. Able to check in early and store luggage at the lobby.

The room is a bit small for 5 people and not much space to put the luggage.

It was easy to find. The hotel sent me directions that were easy to follow; it was a good thing because Google maps isn't accurate there and the local mapping app was difficult for me to use. The directions they sent were perfect on the train from ICN. The receptionist was very kind and helpful. I had a very early flight and she arranged transportation for me since the train didn't run early enough. There was free water in the lobby. The location was good as it was close to the subway. They give you a little bag of amenities which include a toothbrush and toothpaste which was nice as well. There were plenty of outlets in the room. It was quiet. It's a great value for the money you spend.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable but it was only for two nights and this might be a cultural thing as I like softer beds.

The owner and the staff are okay..

the kettle is not that clean, no free even a piece sachet of coffee. There’s a washing machine each room but all are not working. we are not satisfied with the bathroom

Location: 5mins walking distance to Chungmuro StationWe got Mountain View room with Namsan Tower as promised

Room is small; washer and dryer in room is not functioning; TV not working; only provides 1-time use toilet amenities (shampoo, body wash, soap, hair conditioner). Bed is not comfortable, blanket is quite thin.

location

additional equipment - wash machine and kitchen out of order - not necessary to have in the room for short trip

Central to transportation, friendly staff, clean

great location - walkable distance to 2 stations and convenience store nearby. the uncle at the reception was nice as well. room service was done almost everyday and nice view from the room

the room itself wasn’t that great as it looks older and quite dusty. the blanket wasn’t a really a blanket but the thin kind where you put under the bed sheet.

The view was spectacular that we could see the Namsan tower from the bed.

We could hear what other residents are normally talking outside of the room.

The view from 12th floor was awesome. Nice beds.

It was impossible to sleep without the AC on, specially for the to sons sleeping on the loft. But WITH the AC on the three of us sleeping ”downstairs” were freezing so much in the night, eventhough we turned the AC to 26 degrees. But if you don't mind that - awesome room!
