Seoul's Hotel Skypark Myeong-Dong 1 is a really interesting hotel and it's easy to locate. The nearest exit from the subway is Exit 6. Just walk down the street after exiting Exit 6 and turn left on the first turn you come to. The hotel is right next to the retail store SPAO.

I find Hotel
Skypark Myeongdong 1 interesting because the hotel entrance is small and the lobby is actually situated on the 11th floor!
From the street, it's seems uninteresting but when the lift opens up to the lobby on the 11th floor, you can see that it's a pretty neat hotel that utilizes whatever small space it has.
The weighing machine at the lobby is a plus point too. The lobby decor gives me a retro chic feel.
The hotel is pretty new and there's several nice Japanese drawings hung around.
One of the niceties is this outdoor roof garden. I spent a few nights here drinking and chatting while enjoying Seoul's cool autumn air. **Bliss**
When I first checked into my room, I was pleasantly surprised that there's a small space decorated by Etude House that allows you to try on their nail polishes for free. Cute right?
The room is a little small, just like those of Japan's hotels but the hotel's superb location more than made up for it.
Even the toilet is small and the shower space is from where the shower curtains are to the other end of the wall (ie. half of the small bathroom) But the presence of the bidet is great! There's pressure, water temperature and even angle controls.
As you can probably tell, the hotel has some ongoing promotions with Etude House and it was a bonus to me that hotel guests get to enjoy a one time 10% off for Etude House purchase. Just head to the reception and ask for the coupon if you want one.
Overall, I really enjoyed staying at Hotel Skypark Myeong-Dong 1 because of its excellent location. It's so close to the train exit and the shopping street is right at its door step. Lotteria is right opposite too in case you get hungry at night.
There's even a supermarket to the left of the hotel. It's about 700m away. If you don't mind the space, this hotel will be perfect. I had a really comfortable stay there and find it value for money. I'm going to stay here again when I next go back to Seoul!
