LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong stands on Samil-daero, in the Euljiro part of central Seoul rather than on the Myeongdong shopping streets.
Euljiro 3-ga Station is where Lines 2 and 3 meet, which gives you two subway lines from the nearest stop.

| Neighborhood | Euljiro, Jung-gu, central Seoul |
| Address | 362 Samil-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul 04542 |
| Closest stations | Euljiro 3-ga Station (Lines 2 and 3) and Myeongdong Station, both a short walk on the hotel's site |
| Rooms | 430, as listed on VisitKorea |
| Check-in / check-out | 15:00 / 11:00 on the hotel's site (VisitKorea lists a 12:00 check-out, see below) |
| Features | Buffet restaurant on the 27th floor, fitness center, guest laundry, 7-Eleven |
| Best for | Stays of three to five days, first-time sightseeing by subway, small families |
| Less suited to | Pool stays, Hongdae nightlife, a base right on the Myeongdong shopping streets |
Check-out differs between sources: the hotel's own site says 11:00, and VisitKorea lists 12:00. Use the time on your booking confirmation.
The photos on this page come from the hotel's VisitKorea listing. They do not show the buffet, the halal restaurant, the fitness center, or the laundry, and the booking card above carries no photo.

Name check: this is LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong on Samil-daero. It is not L7 Myeongdong, which is a different Lotte hotel on Toegye-ro, and it is not Lotte Hotel Seoul. Match the address on your booking page.
Where it sits: Euljiro, not the shopping streets
The hotel's location page names two stations, Euljiro 3-ga and Myeongdong, as a short walk. It gives no exit number or walking time, so check the current route in a map app instead of trusting a minute count.
Euljiro 3-ga is the practical anchor. Line 2 is the circle line that links Hongdae, Dongdaemun, Gangnam, and Jamsil, and Line 3 runs north to south through Gyeongbokgung.
That makes the hotel a good base for a stay of several days, when you want a quick ride out each morning and a short walk home at night. It is less of a fit if your whole plan is the Myeongdong street stalls, because those sit on a different street grid.
The hotel's page lists Cheonggyecheon Stream, Gwangjang Market, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza within walking distance. The Cheonggyecheon guide and the DDP guide cover two of them, and the Gwangjang Market guide covers the food market.
For the wider choice of districts, the Seoul area guide compares where first-time visitors usually base themselves.
Rooms and the four-guest room
The hotel's room page lists six categories, from a 22 square meter standard room to a 52 square meter suite. Every category is listed with a city view.
| Category | Size | Beds and guests listed |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Room | 22 m² | Double, 2 guests |
| Superior Room | 25 m² | Double, twin, or family twin, 2 to 3 guests |
| Superior Accessible Double Room | 25 m² | Double, 2 to 3 guests |
| Deluxe Family Twin Room | 34 m² | Family twin, 3 guests |
| Premier Family Triple Room | 52 m² | Double, twin, or single beds, 4 guests |
| Superior Suite Room | 52 m² | Double, 2 guests |
The Premier Family Triple Room is the only category listed for four guests. The pages checked do not say how many of the four may be adults or children, or whether an extra bed is used, so confirm both with the hotel before you book for a group of four.
Rooms are listed with a city view, but a category name does not promise a particular floor or outlook. The standard room photo shows a night view from a high floor, and your room may differ.

Facilities for a longer stay
The hotel lists a fitness center and a guest laundry on the 3rd floor, a business corner and meeting room on the 2nd floor, and a 7-Eleven on the 1st floor. The pages checked give no hours or fees for any of them, so confirm before relying on one.
For a trip of three to five days, the guest laundry and the convenience store are the useful part. They reduce how much you pack and how often you need to look for a shop.
No swimming pool or sauna is mentioned on the facilities page. If a pool matters, the Shilla Seoul guide and the Lotte Hotel World guide cover hotels with pools.
Dining and dietary needs
The hotel lists three venues. C'café is a buffet on the 27th floor, Saffron is on the 2nd floor and is listed as halal food, and Angel-in-us is a bakery and café on the 1st floor.
The dining page gives no hours, and it does not say whether breakfast is included in a room rate. Check your rate for breakfast and which venue serves it.
Dietary needs. Saffron's listing says halal food, but the pages checked state no halal certification, so Muslim travelers should ask the venue what is certified before relying on it. Vegetarians and guests with allergies should also ask directly, because no page describes meat-free dishes or allergen handling.
How it compares with L7 Myeongdong
Both are Lotte hotels in the Jung-gu area, which is why they are easy to mix up. They differ in where they sit and what they offer.
| LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong | L7 Myeongdong | |
|---|---|---|
| Street and area | Samil-daero, Euljiro | Toegye-ro, Myeongdong |
| Stations | Euljiro 3-ga (Lines 2 and 3) | Myeongdong (Line 4) |
| Rooms | 430 | 251 |
| Smallest room | 22 m² | 25.1 m² |
| Four-guest room | Premier Family Triple, 52 m² | Lourbans Suite, 50.2 m² |
| Distinctive features | Guest laundry, 7-Eleven, buffet on the 27th floor | Rooftop bar and foot spa on the 21st floor |
Choose this hotel for two subway lines at the nearest station and a longer-stay setup. Choose the L7 Myeongdong guide if you want the shopping streets outside the door and a rooftop bar.
From Incheon Airport
The pages checked do not list an airport shuttle, so plan on a bus, the airport railroad with the subway, or a taxi. This guide gives no fares or timetables, because they change by hour and route.
The hotel's location page gives about 1 hour 30 minutes from Incheon Airport to Euljiro 3-ga Station by public transit, and about 1 hour from Gimpo Airport. By car it gives about 70 minutes from Incheon and about 40 minutes from Gimpo, and traffic changes both.
Airport limousine bus. The location page mentions the airport limousine bus, and the operator's route 6001 and 6015 page lists stops in the Myeongdong area. Neither source names this hotel as a stop, so check the operator's page for your direction and pick the stop nearest the hotel in a map app.
Airport railroad plus subway. The railroad has an all-stop train and a nonstop Express, and the airport railroad's own site lists current timetables. A route app confirms the transfer to Line 2 or Line 3 for Euljiro 3-ga.
Taxi. A taxi is the door-to-door option with heavy luggage. Show the driver 삼일대로 362 or the name 롯데시티호텔 명동.
For the general options, see the airport to Seoul guide. A T-money card covers the subway and buses, and the T-money guide explains how to buy and top one up.
Who should stay here
Stays of three to five days. Guest laundry, a convenience store, and a two-line station help once the novelty of a short trip wears off.
First-time sightseeing by subway. Lines 2 and 3 reach many of the sights in one ride, so you spend less time planning each day.
Small families. The family twin and the family triple room cover groups of three and four, after you confirm how the hotel counts guests.
Who may prefer another area
Pool seekers. The pages checked list no pool.
Hongdae nightlife. Hongdae is livelier after dark. The Hongdae guide compares that area.
Shopping streets at the door. Myeongdong's main streets are a separate area from Samil-daero, and a Myeongdong Station hotel puts them closer.
What to check before booking
Room category. Match the beds and guest count to your group, and remember a category does not promise a view.
Four guests. Ask how many adults and children the Premier Family Triple Room accepts.
Rate inclusions. Breakfast and facility access can differ by rate.
Check-in and check-out times. Sources differ, so use your confirmation.
Taxes and fees. Compare the final payable total, not a nightly headline.
