Rooms are clean, but could use upgrade. Staff ok, nothing extraordinary. Laundry on 6th floor: convenient and cheap. Breakfast mediocre; decent selection but not outstanding. Was surprised that rice wasn’t fresh: chewy and unlike Korean or Japanese rice, which is usually exceptional! Best thing about Solaria is its location: smack in the heart of Myeongdong; near shopping, restaurants and subway station. Easy to use and get around Seoul. Paid $250 per night and have definitely paid less for more: better room, better food and much better service (no one smiles at this hotel; could be cultural, but they all seemed either unhappy or too complacent). My fourth stay but would suggest booking another property!
