Rainbow Hotel Myeongdong

The hotel is clean , bright and Airy. Location is perfect for tourist who wants to explore Seoul . Very near to amenities, restaurant and train station. Perfect location. Mr. Kim is very accommodating and helpful ,He goes above and beyond for his customers, For a first time tourist in korea, it's reassuring to know that you have him to ask if need any help.

Rainbow Hotel is conveniently located just a 2-min walk away from the Chungmuro subway station. There’s also a bunch of cafes, bars and eateries in the surrounding area. It sounds like it would be on a noisy street but it was quiet! The neighboring guests were also quiet. The rooms are promoted as soundproof and I didn’t have any issues with noise, though I also stayed here on a couple of weeknights. Mr. Kim (I think that was his name? the owner or manager?) was the highlight of my stay. I had lost my plush doll, which I foolishly kept in the outside pocket of my backpack so it must have fallen out. He went out of his way to check the CCTV footage to track down where it was. It had fallen out of my bag at the main entrance and a guest, who happened to be in the room right next door to mine, had picked it up and saved it! The plushie means a lot to me so I was thankful to both Mr. Kim and the guest for being so kind to help me! Other reviews give Mr. Kim a tough time but he’s doing his job of enforcing rules that keep the place clean and keep the peace. As a business owner, I get that. I found him very helpful and at times funny as he cracked a couple of jokes. Just be very patient and use Google Translate for anything beyond basic small talk!

It is a typical korean Hotel in that price range. What really stood out to me, however, was the exceptional service provided by the hotel manager. We lost our key and the Manager drove 1 hour to get it back. Also he didn’t give us a fee for loosing it! Koreans are super helpful and forthcoming. The Hotel itself such as the room was super clean and comfortable. We had everything that we needed. I like the fact that you always have free water. Furthermore, it is in a central location and the Metro stations chungmuro amd Myeongdong are super. Also there are a lot of good restaurants, shopping facilities and Streetfood around the place.

It was a place to shower and sleep. The AC worked and the room was comfortable. It fit my needs. but a ten would maybe give teh wrong impression 8 seems fair.

The hotel is really well located, central in Seoul, near metro-stops and streets with restaurants, bars and streetfood markets. (But the street from the hotel is quiet at night.) The owner/manager is super friendly. The rooms are small but clean and with proper windows with an insect-screen. Probably one of the best budget options in the city! Excellent price quality!
