Disappointing
Positives: Convenient location Well-equipped workspace in the lobby Beautiful view from our room Courteous check-in staff member Efficient heating system TV with YouTube and Netflix access Reliable Wi-Fi Room had a charming layout Free umbrellas available for guest use Negatives: * Towel Policy: We were warned that makeup stains on towels would result in a fine. This policy felt unfair and stressful, especially since makeup use isn’t limited to women and even thorough cleansing can leave faint traces. White towels only exacerbate this issue. * Staff Presence: The hotel staff was rarely available. We encountered just three employees during our stay, and they were not approachable. Upon arrival, the front desk was empty due to the “cleaning period” (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM or 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM). A phone number was provided for emergencies, but as tourists, we couldn’t make local calls. * No Elevator to the 8th Floor: We stayed in a VIP room on the 8th floor, but there was no elevator access—a major inconvenience given the size of the room, which could accommodate up to eight people. Carrying heavy luggage up narrow, winding stairs without assistance was exhausting. * Bathroom Issues: The shower and toilet were combined in a cramped space, with yellow-stained grout. * Dirty Walls: The walls were visibly stained, which detracted from the room's overall appearance. * Hazardous Room Design: The room appeared to be a converted attic, with low, drywall-covered beams that posed a tripping

Okay hotel in the city center
First the good: the location is really good - close to the Myeongdong center, subway station and the airport bus stop. Then not so good: the hotel room and bathroom were small (which we expected). The cleaning was supposed to be according to the following schedule: no cleaning after the first day, new towels and garbage pickup after the second and then sheet replacement after the third. We were staying for 3 nights so I expected to have at least the towels replaced and the garbage collected but it didn't happen. Probably because of the wet towels the whole room became quite stuffy.

The Ehwa Hotel was very clean and a good location for shopping and Myeongdong street food (right around the corner!). The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast was very simple and okay. Beds were pretty firm but still doable. The rooms are very small, but we were able to fit two large and one medium luggage, one carryon, and two backpacks, plus items we purchased in our room. The bathroom was very interesting. The shower was part of the sink and a shower curtain separated the sink/shower area from the toilet (see pic). But again it was doable. The issue to be aware of is the road in front of the hotel is for walking only. Therefore, taxis can not drive and drop you off in front of the hotel. It's about a half block walk up the hill to the hotel front door. Not bad, but something to be aware of. Overall for the price, cleanliness and location of the Ehwa Hotel it was a good value.

It’s really great location for myeongdong shopping and take bus to airport. This hotel is very good except room is too small. Staff is friendly. We spent three nights and feel luck to pick the right hotel.

Walking distance to Myeongdong/ central location in Seoul is the best part about this stay. Everything else is just average. Breakfast is cereal, toast and an egg. Small bathrooms, not supposed to flush toilet paper. Need to put it in the trash. Front desk says they have a cleaning policy but they don’t perform cleaning unless you specifically request it. It’s manageable for a solo traveler for 1-2 days but not ideal. If you’re traveling with two people just go for a nicer hotel across the street.

I felt really comfortable staying here. It was my first time staying by myself in a hotel let alone in a foreign country. I would stay here again. The breakfast was exactly what I need in the morning.

Overall, the hotel is good: staff, location, cleanliness, very nice room, drinking water available outside the room. These things make our family not happy with the hotel: 1) we stayed on 8th floor, the elevator only goes up to the 7th floor. We had to carry all luggage (some were 50 lbs/ 23kg) up the stairs from 7th to 8th floor. 2) bathrooms were too small for toilet, sink and shower. No hooks in bathroom to hang clothes when showering.

EHWA is what it says it is. Functional, clean and smartly designed- space has been well utilized, as there is so little of it. Tiny rooms, but hey at this price and location, I'm not complaining - besides I came to experience Seoul not EHWA! The breakfast they offer is generic basic, we went to the plethora of cafes in hood for excellent coffee, Koreans LOVE good coffee, and local restaurants for local food.

The hotel is easy to find. I just took the airport bus, got off at Myeongdong, cross the street and hotel is just around the corner. Location is great walking distance to Myeongdong street. The room and bathroom is very tiny but it’s clean. Airport bus pick up is just around the corner.
