New Blanc Central Myeongdong

8/10 Good
"The room is modern and I like the bathroom (although could do with some washcloths and more towels) but my only complaint was that this was NOT Central Myeongdong as the hotel name implies--it's a very quiet residential area that almost looks a bit seedy, with not much going on as it is mostly printing and furniture shops. Very local, which is cool but not useful for tourists. Good thing is the subway is a 3min walk away but I'd prefer to have more coffee places, shops, restaurants etc around a hotel I stay at."

That was really nice surprise knowing you don't have to leave the hotel in the middle of the night if you're craving some snacks. Located above the Hyndai outlet mall and another 5-6 story wholesale clothing and accessories market beside it.
