A base in Myeongdong
Metro Hotel is at 14 Myeongdong 9ga-gil, in the Jung District. Euljiro 1(il)-ga station is nearby, and the surrounding streets have shops and restaurants. The location is useful if you want to break up a shopping day with a stop back at your room. A 7-Eleven and Starbucks are attached to the hotel, adding convenient options without a separate walk.
Myeongdong’s central setting comes with some street noise. One guest heard the crowd below on one of four nights, while another found the hotel quieter than the busiest parts of the shopping area. If you are sensitive to noise, this is worth weighing against the convenience of staying close to the shops.
Rooms and family facilities
Rooms have been described as clean and comfortable, with some families finding enough space for several suitcases. Room size is not consistent across guest accounts, so do not assume every room will have the same amount of floor space. The hotel has kid-friendly room decorations, a children’s playroom and a nursing room, which can help families settle in between outings.
Guests also mention controls for the lights, television and air conditioning. For charging devices, bring your own adapter if you need one; some guests reported trouble keeping adapters in place. Power adapters may also be available from reception.

The hotel has laundry machines, a fitness room and a relaxation room with massage chairs. The gym is small and needs to be reserved at the service desk.
