Jung-gu, Seoul hotel rooms at the Independent

"We’ve arrived very early around 8am and Celine at the front desk offered us at the 3rd floor sauna until the room was getting ready. Good call!"

"Everything was perfect except on Saturday. I originally picked this hotel because of the convenience of cathcing the airport bus right in front. But all the roads were blocked and had to walk to another location to catch the airport bus."

"Very convenient for shopping, street foods, and walking around. "

"Convenient, easy walk to Namdaemun Market, subway, Myeongdong( a bit of a walk but walkable), etc. Lots of dining options to choose from. Taxis and Ubers arrive quickly when summoned from this hotel."

"Beautifully updated clean room, professional and friendly staff, very good location, close to shopping center, traditional markets and restaurants. We’ll definitely come back on next trip :)"

"Loved it will stay here again when I return hopefully "

"Amazing location, conveniently located right at the doorstep of Myeongdong."

"Second time staying at this hotel. Staff are friendly as I remembered. Easy and quick check-in. Convenient location to subway and safe walking distance to Myeongdong and surroundings (incl. Gwangjang market, DDP and beyond). The convenient store in the hotel is great for late night snacks run. There is laundry facility and storage lockers in the lower ground /basement floor. There is also a scale in the lobby for you to weigh your luggage. Plenty of coffee places outside the hotel to get your breakfast in the morning. Room is bright, clean and comfortable. Bathroom and towels are clean. Bottled water is provided daily. Would definitely stay here again when I return to Seoul! "

"Hotel L’Escape is a romantic and classy hotel. The air is permeated with fresh flowers in the lobby from the moment you enter the hotel. We arrived past midnight and the staff greeted us with smiles and gave us an upgrade because it was available. Our room is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with French tapestry, lamps and paintings. The bathroom is large and had two sinks. There is a separate shower and toilet with bidet. In the main bath is a bathtub with golden knobs. The electric and lighting are controlled by a modern system that is great once you figure out what all the knobs do. It is quiet and a great location for shopping. The location is very convenient, Namdaemun market is a few minutes walking and Hoehyeon subway and buses are just a few steps away. There are so many great places to eat around the hotel. The hotel itself has two great restaurants, French and Chinese. The breakfast is top notch with French, Korean and Chinese cuisines. All are prepared at a Michelin star quality. We will stay at the Hotel L’Escape again when we go to Seoul. "
