Hotel Doma Myeongdong

Location is excellent - you can see the hotel upon exiting from the Chungmuro station exit 1. The airport limousine bus stop is just across the road from the hotel. The famous Isaac cafe is a short walking distance from the hotel. I would highly recommend to try this BBQ chicken restaurant nearby (by a small road next to the cinema, run by a pair of middle aged couple). The BBQ chicken is about 13,000 won per pax serving and you can choose to dine either on tables and chairs or on the traditional 'sit-on-the-floor' method. Hotel is very clean and looks newly renovated. Excellent housekeeping services provided.

Mainly room design issues. Firstly, we don't understand why the wash basin couldn't be inside the toilet. The wash basin is by the entrance while the toilet is at the opposite end of the room. It is very strange for us to have to walk out of the toilet to wash our hands. Secondly, we don't like the big step leading up to the toilet. A small curb would have suffice to separate the wet toilet from the rest of the room. There were times in the morning whereby we stumbled upon the step before entering the toilet. Just a quick tip on the room door - you will need to close the door and hold it there physically for a few seconds. If not, it doesn't close properly and the security alarm will start ringing. It happened to us many times.

The hotel near the station, it’s really convenient. And the bathroom is quite good.

No shopping mall near here.

kindness of staff who can speak english well (everyone)

weird shape of room (a sort of "L") and shower completely open so the whole bathroom became wet. A glass or plastic barrier should be installed No charger for phone near the bed
