Hotel Lemong Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Hotel Lemong? The name honestly had me expecting some quirky citrus-themed place, but it’s actually a solid, no-nonsense 3-star spot that punches way above its weight class. I mean, an 8.5 rating doesn’t just happen by accident – there’s definitely something special going on here that the big chain hotels could learn from.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to genuinely care about getting the details right. Check-in was smooth (none of that awkward standing around while they figure out their system), and the front desk person actually remembered my name the next morning without looking at their screen. The rooms aren’t huge – this isn’t a luxury resort – but everything feels thoughtfully designed. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and I’m someone who usually tosses and turns in hotel beds. The bathroom had decent water pressure too, which honestly makes or breaks a stay for me. There’s this attention to cleanliness that you notice right away – not just surface-level tidy, but properly maintained. You can tell they take pride in the place.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star property, but Hotel Lemong really delivers on the fundamentals while adding those little touches that show they’re actually thinking about what travelers need. The WiFi worked reliably (tried it from both the lobby and my room), and the common areas had this comfortable, lived-in feeling without being worn down. Parking was straightforward, which saved me the usual city hotel headache of circling blocks looking for a spot. The neighborhood felt safe for evening walks, and you’re within easy reach of local restaurants that aren’t just tourist traps. What struck me most was how quiet it stayed at night – even with other guests coming and going, the sound insulation was better than I expected. If you’re looking for a place that does hospitality right without the inflated prices, this is honestly one of those hidden gems that makes you feel like you discovered something the guidebooks missed.

Seoul hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in South Korea’s bustling capital, known for its innovative technology, K-pop culture, and historical palaces.

    Great place to stay with a family. Perfect location to sightsee in Seoul, lovely breakfasts and very comfortable.

  • Natalia from Russia (9/10)

    The location of the hotel is great between the palaces and tourist streets. The breakfast is not very plentiful, you can make waffles yourself. But this is the only hotel where there was unlimited black tea, we were very happy about it. The room is very nice, new. Luxurious bathroom.
