Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong

Very nice hotel,nearby Meyongdong night market,u can have great time here

The hotel is situated in the Myeongdong shopping district but it is not right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. It sits just outside of the main shopping/night market area so it is not noisy at all. There is a 7-Eleven at the hotel basement so you can get all your toiletries and snacks there. The hotel does not provide dental kits so be sure to bring your own or buy from the convenience store downstairs. Hotel staff can speak English and one lady in particular speaks Mandarin and English. She was very helpful and friendly. Another staff helped to arrange our two rooms on the same floor when he realised that one of the rooms wasn’t ready and was on another floor. We had a triple room which is quite spacious considering most rooms in Myeongdong hotels are rather small and you can barely open up your luggage. Our room has space for our 3 pieces of luggage in front of the beds. The room is big enough to accommodate two lounge chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom has a bathtub and the toilet has a bidet so it makes up for the dated look of the whole room. We had some of our meals in the restaurants just across the road from the hotel and they serve nice Korean cuisine. The Euljiro 1-ga station is just a few minutes’ walk away. We really like the location of the hotel even though the room is a bit dated, especially the bathroom.

Xenophobic hotel Deputy Duty Manager : Jude Donghyeon *****. Ruined holiday experience. Take note!!! Room might have window. ****BUT the window is facing the wall of another wall (＜1m away) without view at all**** I approached Mr. ***** to request a replacement room as the one I had booked, labeled as a 'Cityview' room, lacked any windows. Despite my explanation, Mr. ***** adamantly insisted that I had checked in late, using this as justification for the unavailability of other rooms. Furthermore, instead of addressing my concerns professionally, Mr. ***** proceeded to engage in a distressing confrontation that lasted for approximately 40 minutes. During this altercation, Mr. ***** made several troubling remarks and actions, which I feel compelled to highlight: Mr. ***** accused me of being a "scammer" to the hotel, and even went as far as to show me the 'official booking' on Agoda, claiming it did not guarantee a 'Cityview' room. He proceeded to disparage the booking agency, Trip.com, labeling them as "scammers." Shockingly, Mr. ***** made derogatory remarks about my country, X, stating that "You from X are so disappointing to be a scammer." Such xenophobic comments have no place in the hospitality industry, especially coming from a hotel staff member. Feeling threatened and unjustly accused, I requested assistance from Mr. ***** to involve the authorities by calling the police. However, he callously refused to provide any assistance, exacerbating the distressing situation. The following morning, when I approached the front desk to check out, Mr. ***** was once again present. Despite my attempt to greet him politely with a "Good morning," he responded with a disdainful snort, further displaying his unprofessional conduct. It is deeply concerning that an individual with such apparent xenophobic tendencies and a lack of temperament for managing guest relations holds a position of authority within your establishment. Mr. Jeong's behavior not only tarnishes the reputation of Skypark Central but also undermines the trust and comfort of guests, particularly those from diverse backgrounds.
