Metro Hotel is a 9 story budget/boutique hotel that is right in the middle of
Seoul's famed shopping district -
Myeongdong. It was established in 1960, is the first government-registered tourist hotel and was refurbished in June 2014.
Besides it location, with almost every type of room available, this hotel is perfect families, friends or the solo traveler. It was also recently refurbished so the rooms are relatively new and updated, a nice reprieve from staying in accommodation with a similar price point but probably out-dated and worn furnishings. With it's distinct wood-slatted facade and rustic elements, along with its unique of eastern and Scandinavian design decor inside, it definitely will enhance your stay at in
Seoul.
