Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun

I stayed with my family for ten days,, the hotel atmosphere was extremely calm and cosy. Outside the hotel were many cafes and there is a small grocery next by. The namdaemun walking market is across the road, the three Lotte malls were ten minutes walk. The mayengdong market and night market were 15 minutes away. The bed was comfortable and the ac was cold. The room was spacious and the room service was great. I just didn’t know how to get them to change our sheets every day. Apparently there were some card or something to place on the bed. The elevators were adequate. No real concierge to carry your luggage sometimes as we carried our own. Very excellent concierge service in terms of booking taxi. Very friendly and welcoming staff. They are used to all kind of people as the hotel accustom many nationalities. You really feel at ease staying there. It is clean and updated. There was a nice palace in front of the hotel. I guess some rooms had that view. But our was facing an office building which was a bit uncomfortable sometimes. But I have picked an extra large room which was larger than most other hotels in Seol so i guess I could compromise. There is always noises coming from the street but it was well isolated and didn’t disturb our sleep. The shower is very magnificent and powerful. We didn’t have breakfast there as it was beyond our budget but I ordered a room service and it was fulfilling. I wanted to try the momo cafe located in the hotel but didn’t get the chance unfortunately. I would recommend it and would stay there again definitely.

The hotel is fantastically located. Most touristic attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, and the metro is just next to the hotel. I highlight the quality of the breakfast, which is superior. A lot of variety; international food but also delicious local plates, and the quality is great. It is definitely worth it to stay in a room on a high floor and looking to the city or the mountain. Other rooms are facing the building next to the hotel, not with a very nice view, so I suggest you always ask for those two options. It is a great hotel, and I will come back the next time I visit Seoul.

The location of the hotel is very strategic close to all the main tourist destinations. The room was nice, comfy and clean, but the most spectacular thing is a client-oriented approach of the hotel managers. We were surprised that on the day of my husband's birthday we found the wine bottle and small present. And moreover, after the bday night we found anti hangover pills that were very important at that moment for my husband :) thank you very much for this!

We found the hotel staff very responsive to any enquiries we sent before our stay, upon check in as we had missed the club room time, we were given a bottle of wine and a bag of snacks. We had booked a junior suite and the room exceeded our expectations, spacious, clean, well laid out and a great view of Namsam Tower. Breakfast was excellent with a large variety of choices and these were changed daily. The hotel has a self-serve laundry which was great as it allowed us to be able to do some washing. The location was excellent, across the street from Namdaemun Market and a 5-minute walk to Myeongdong and Seoul City Hall. There was also an excellent cafe right out front and a GS25 convenience store very close by. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

First of all, i want to thank a male staff who was on night duty on the 10Dec (after 9 Dec midnight). My husband who suddenly fell sick and almost fainted in the toilet. The male staff on duty responded quickly to our request for an ambulance (it came within 10mins). We were grateful to him due we ended up didnt go to hospital.. throughout our stay, the staff around were all nice and friendly.. guided us on the best ways to get to the places we wanted to visit.. our room was always clean and the hotel location was very convenient. We will stay at this hotel again on our next Korea visit..
