EVERYTHING WAS BRILLIANT. This was the greatest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life by far. The reason why it was the best was because of all the amazing and unique things about the place. Firstly, the staff were ABSOLUTELY amazing, friendly and fun. They always accommodated for every single need I had. Secondly, the “movie theatre” theme of the hotel was nothing short of brilliant - we got free popcorn and even a free mini bar!!! And this mini bar was re-filled every single day! I have NEVER stayed at a hotel that was so kind. Thirdly, we had access to significant discounts at the cafe downstairs, the converse store, the pharmacy and other places which saved us so much money - these were significant discounts. Fourthly, the rooms are spacious and unbelievable well priced. For the experience that I had, I would have paid hundreds of dollars more. Finally, the location of the hotel was second to none. It was absolutely central to all the action in myeongdong, a 1 minute walk away from the night markets but there was never any noise issues I experienced in the room.
I highly recommend everyone to stay here and I have to give a special shout out to every single staff member for being brilliant. These staff members we so bubbly and friendly and took a genuine interest in our experience. The staff members gave recommendations for where to go, movie recommendations at 1AM because I wanted to watch a new Korean movie and made changes to the minibar to be in line with my religious dietary requirements.
I have stayed in hotels all around the world - Europe, UK, Japan, Australia etc. and there is no hotel which comes close to the brilliance of this hotel.
Thank you Hotel 28 and I will definitely stay here again when I return to Seoul. I hope every single staff member that worked January 10 to January 12 gets rewarded for being such brilliant people. Much love!

Everything about this hotel was great - the location is central and RIGHT next to a metro and the central market. The rooms are huge and the decor is amazing. Very special. The hotel decor is also very original and nicely done. It's very good value for what you get.

We did the "happy hour" one night and the food was great and included unlimited food and drinks which was very good value.
There is free parking right in the basement.

There are two shrine/hall, the Jongmyo shrine is under renovation. Apparently you can only enter with a guided tour. Missed the English one, joined the Korean one (last tour of the day and was leaving the following day). I don't speak Korean. No regret the light of late afternoon was beautiful. But advise: check the schedule for the tour.
