Oriens Hotel & Residences

We were a family of four (including two near-adult sons) travelling in July 2018, staying in a two-bedroom premiere suite. The suite included a kitchen with cooking facilities and a combined washing machine/clothes dryer. There was a shower/toilet room and also a large en-suite with bath/shower/toilet. The suite was very spacious and quite clean and comfortable. Wifi was fast and reliable. There were plenty of power outlets, including at least two international outlets which worked with our chargers without needing an adapter.. The room was serviced daily to a good standard. Service at the front reception was excellent - all staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke very good English. The hotel is located five minutes walk from two subway stations and shopping in Myeongdong. There are plenty of convenience stores and restaurants close by. I would happily stay here again, and would recommend it to others. Two small negative points: 1. The breakfast selection isn't extensive (but it is cheap). 2. Renovations were happening during our stay. We were disturbed one morning by noise above us. Although it was just one day, and the noise was within normal working hours, it would have been appreciated if the hotel had let us know in advance. 3. None of the facilities (kitchen and laundry appliances, and hot water and air conditioning controls) had instructions in English. I would recommend that the hotel invest in this for its foreign guests.

Overall a good experience. It is located a distance away from Myeongdong's main shopping area, but if you don't mind the 5-10 minute walk then it is quite alright.

nice stay over my 5 nights in seoul... the staff very friendly.. english is good too.. loved how the flooring warmed up overnight... room very clean.. bed softness is just nice for me.. Though location is good but hotel located near expressway which not able to walk over. Need to walk up the small slope before you can reached entrance. Heard say got a small road behind but too dark to walk at night. Overall still very nice to stay, highly recommended.

We chose a triple room for the trip, base on the dishonest room description from that hotel. Upon arrival, we're told that all the triple rooms have no views, they are all located on the underground floor, one floor below the lobby floor. The only window in the room is facing another window of the opposite building which is around 6' apart. Anyone can easily walk around that area and look through the window into the room. No privacy at all, we're forced to keep the curtains covering the window. It seemed that we're staying in a cave! There are no hooks on the wall for hanging clothes and no dustbin for disposal inside the bathroom. As shown in the picture, no space on the wash basin for putting stuffs. Very inconvenient! No coffee/tea maker as mentioned and of course, no coffee or tea bags. There are lot of triple rooms choices in Myeongdong, don't choose Orient Hotel if you don't want to stay in a hole throughout your trip! They should specify No View for the triple rooms, so as to let travellers to make a correct choice!

It's a good place to stay in a short trip. The staffs are helpful and they can speak English quite well. Suitable place for shopping and enjoying Korean street food ( nearby Meyongdong which takes 05 mins by walk). There is a pretty art road beside the hotel if you want to take cute pictures.Taxi/Van to the Incheon Airport is available if you make a reservation with hotel staffs the day before you leave. The price is around 77,000 WON for a van. Wifi is not strong, the elevator is slow and the location is hard for local taxi to find the right address.
