The room was amazing - very spacious. Best room we've had in Korea.
The bathroom was small and cramped and a little dated - could be improved.
The sound proofing was poor - we could hear the people next to us, in the corridor and above us. We could also hear everyone the street (we were one level above the lobby). There were noisy people on the street past midnight. The poor sound proofing made it hard to sleep.

Good comfy short stay
Good stay for one night. Clean modern hotel. I think the bathrooms need minor renovations but still good from what I’d expect from an urban professional hotel. Quiet and dimmed windows were nice as well. Room service was available into the night but didn’t use them. Nice alleyway to get to the rest of the Main Street where restaurants and shops are.

Great Stay
Great value for money! Hotel needs a little renovation. Water flowing out of the bathing area even with shower curtain and also shower door. Stayed in their 2 bedroom suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Suited for families. Room not cramped. And going to Myeongsong area is easy, go the the 1st floor for easier access. Not really an uphill climb as others described it if you passed the correct path. I was just disappointed that they have aircon but they did not provide the remote control. I asked in my email before my stay if they have air-conditioned unit in the room, and they said yes, my mistake for not asking if I can use it. Well to compensate, they provided an electric fan instead which we used during our stay as it was getting hot. Would still recommend this hotel if you want a cheaper one but still near the shopping area. 10 minute walk to Myeongdong depending on the timing of the traffic light!

It was a quiet and nice room. It was our second time staying at Oriens Hotel and Residence.
Short walking distance from both Myeongdon and Chungmuro Stations. Highly recommended if you are looking for comfortable and safe hotel at reasonable price.

Location is good, away from the busy shopping strip but with airport bus stop, subway
Station and even a police station nearby.
The hot water is very weak especiallyfor a cold winter.
The service didn't refill the nearly empty bath gel bottle till we requested.
The deco is a bit aged

Convenient walking distance to the busy Myeongdong area but a standard *** apartment style hotel without breakfast options. Nice beds though, ok rooms and nothing to complain about.

This place was fabulous value for money. We had the 2 bedroom unit and it was perfect for our family of 4. My son who is in a wheelchair found this a very accessible hotel and the restaurants and Myeongdong area was convenient enough to get around! Thank you!
