Myeongdong, Euljiro, Seoul Station Hotels: L7 to AREX

L7 Myeongdong sits one minute from Exit 9 of Myeongdong Station, and Long Weekend Haus DDP is a subway ride from Euljiro 1-ga, Myeongdong and Seoul Station rather than a walk from any of them, which is the deciding axis for the six Seoul properties compared here: whether the subway exit sits at the hotel door, needs one transfer, or needs a subway ride to reach the Myeongdong, Euljiro 1-ga and Seoul Station cluster. Four Points by Sheraton Seoul Myeongdong is about 4 minutes from Euljiro 3-ga Station on Lines 2 and 3, Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun is about 4 minutes from Hoehyeon Station and roughly 650 meters to 1 kilometer from the AREX platforms at Seoul Station, and RYSE Autograph Collection in Hongdae sits about 3 minutes from Hongik University Station, the only stop among the six with a direct, no-transfer AREX connection to Incheon Airport.

Four Points by Sheraton Seoul Myeongdong

Four Points by Sheraton Seoul Myeongdong stands about 4 minutes from Euljiro 3-ga Station on Lines 2 and 3, with one guest review describing the front entrance as a 10 second walk from Exit 12, and rooms started near US$168 a night on a Hotels.com listing checked 2026-09-21.

The property sits at 36 Samil-daero 10-gil, Jung-gu, across 375 rooms on 26 floors, and its standard rooms sleep 2 in 23 square meters with a private bathroom and no kitchen or kitchenette in any category. Hotels.com places Euljiro 1-ga Station 9 minutes away, further than the 4 minute walk to Euljiro 3-ga, which corrects the shorter distance sometimes attached to the property. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is noon, self parking runs KRW15,000 a day, pets are not permitted, and Gimpo Airport is a 51 to 52 minute drive with no direct rail link.

Cancellation terms vary by rate plan: HRS lists free cancellation until 6:00 PM on some rates and no free cancellation on others, and Marriott's own overview page does not publish one fixed cutoff.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP (Long Weekend Haus), a 12-unit apartment-style stay at 15-3 Ssangnim-dong, Jung-gu, sits about 0.44 kilometers from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on Lines 2, 4 and 5, and its Garden Suite (sleeps 2, max 4, 36 square meters) starts from ₩306,000 a night on the free-cancellation rate, checked 2026-09-19.

The 12 rooms span seven suite types numbered 101 through 702. The Dining Suite (2 bedrooms, sleeps 2, max 4, 35 square meters) and the Maru Suite (2 bedrooms, sleeps 3, max 6, 44 square meters) both put a second bedroom on the same floor as the living space, and the 702 Penthouse (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 4, max 8, 69 square meters) is the only unit built for eight guests. Every room uses a self check-in kiosk instead of a staffed desk, checkout is 11:00 AM, and stays of 3 nights or more get a 10 percent discount.

• Two couples wanting separate bedrooms find that in the Dining Suite or the Maru Suite.
• A traveler landing at Incheon after midnight can let themselves in with the self check-in kiosk instead of waiting on a staffed desk.
• Extra guests beyond a room's base occupancy add ₩10,000 per person per night.

Reaching Myeongdong, Euljiro 1-ga or Seoul Station from here means one ride on Line 2, 4 or 5 from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station.

L7 Myeongdong

L7 Myeongdong by Lotte Hotels sits about one minute from Exit 9 of Myeongdong Station on Line 4, and rooms started at US$157 a night in a Booking.com check around 2026-08-31.

The hotel holds 250 rooms with a fridge, satellite TV and an en suite bathroom in every room type; none include a kitchen. An airport limousine bus stop sits 2 minutes from the lobby, and reaching AREX means riding to Seoul Station, then transferring to Line 4 for two stops back to Myeongdong Station. Noon Square and the Lotte Duty Free store are an 8 minute walk away.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, check-out is 11:00 AM, and Expedia's listing states that the English name entered at booking must match the passport exactly or check-in is refused. Cancellation terms vary by rate plan, with no single published deadline across sources.

RYSE Autograph Collection

RYSE Autograph Collection, run under Marriott Bonvoy at 130 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, sits about 0.59 kilometers, roughly 3 minutes, from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station, and rates started near US$181 a night on a Trip.com search checked 2026-09-16.

Hongik University Station is the one stop among these six properties with a direct, no-transfer AREX connection to Incheon Airport, alongside Line 2 and the Gyeongui-Jungang Line. The hotel holds 272 rooms across seven categories, from the Creator Room (sleeps 2) to the Executive Producer Suite (217 square meters, sleeps 2), and none of the seven categories include a kitchen.

Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun

Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun, renamed Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Myeongdong on 2026-03-01, sits about 4 minutes from Hoehyeon Station and roughly 650 meters to 1 kilometer from the AREX platforms at Seoul Station, with a Kayak listing showing rates from US$165 a night, checked 2026-09-21.

The property holds 400 rooms across Junior, Family and Namdaemun suite categories, none with a kitchen, and Hoehyeon Station connects to Line 4 while City Hall Station nearby serves Lines 1 and 2. Seoul Station itself puts Line 1, Line 4 and KTX in the same building as the AREX platforms. Incheon Airport is a 57 minute drive, and an airport limousine bus stop sits near the hotel entrance.

Sources disagree on checkout time, with Kayak listing 11:00 AM and Google Hotels listing noon, and no single official Marriott page publishes one fixed cancellation deadline.

Nine Tree Premier Hotel Myeongdong 2

Nine Tree Premier Hotel Myeongdong 2 sits a few minutes' walk from both Euljiro 1-ga and Myeongdong stations, putting it within reach of Line 2 at Euljiro 1-ga and Line 4 at Myeongdong Station without a transfer between the two.

That dual access gives a route toward Seoul Station and the Gangnam direction from the same neighborhood block, in the stretch of Euljiro 1-ga close to Myeongdong's shopping, dining and hotel cluster.

Nine Tree Hotels' other Seoul properties, including Nine Tree Myeongdong 1 and Nine Tree Dongdaemun, run a 19-and-over minimum guest age and collect a refundable KRW100,000 deposit at check-in, per Trip.com listings checked 2026-09-16.
