Seoul Hotel Review: Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong

I recently visited Seoul after a four year hiatus (thanks to a certain pandemic). In the past I’ve always stayed at AirBnB’s, but with the rising prices of each stay and all the rules associated with an AirBNB stay, I decided to go with a hotel this time. Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong is conveniently located in the Myeongdong area of Seoul. This hotel is easily accessible from Incheon International Airport and is surrounded by great shopping, entertainment and transit. The pricing is also incredibly reasonable! Bonus, if you’re a fan of LINE Friends they have an entire floor of rooms themed after Brown and Cony. Check out my full review of the Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong below!

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong – Deluxe Double Room

The room type we went with was Deluxe Double and it was very spacious and comfortable! It was by far the largest room we stayed in for our Asia trip and the room contains a queen size Simmons bed, office desk, TV, a hinoki bathtub and a wooden bench. The allure of this hotel for me was definitely the Hinoki bathtubs. The entire room was made with cedar and the aroma was so relaxing after a long and busy day exploring Seoul. The room size is 25m². The bed was enormous and the mattress was the perfect firmness for a great night sleep. The room was clean, comfortable, functional and spacious! We had no problem laying out all four of our (very large) carry on suitcases to pack on our last night with plenty of space to walk around.

The bathroom features a beautiful hinoki bathtub which was perfect for soaking in after a long day. I love the full marble look and all the additional skincare amenities were definitely a bonus.

Overall Thoughts

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Myeongdong is a great option for your next Seoul trip for its convenience, cleanliness, location and price. There are so many great bakeries, restaurants as well as Shinsegae department store near by that the convenience really can’t be beat. In addition, the hotel provides free bottled water (huge perk in my opinion!) and they’re very accommodating if you request for additional ammenities during your stay. They also securely store your luggage before and after check in! I will definitely be staying here again. Book your stay here today!
