    Only thing is the location that I have to mention but if you don't have any problem with the transportation, this won't bother you.

    The hotel was built a long time ago, and yet it was kept very nicely.

    As we had booked for two rooms for three persons, not knowing they had given a us two bedroom apartment across the hotel which they manage. The issue is, they did not provide a porter to carry our luggage across the freezing cold weather outside to the apartment block which was 100 metres away around 9pm at night. Being a Five Star Hotel I did not expect this sort of service from this hotel chain.

    Quite, peaceful area location and close to freeway for transportation to city and airport, proximity towards the DMZ.

    Concierge was friendly to foreign people but to local was so rude. Didn't explain any of their facility just pointing out the sign to read. Service needs to be upgraded this is 5 star hotel, a motel has better service than this one. the swimming pool people were taking videos which was very unconfortable but the life guard did nothing.

    the view was great and very quiet

    the property maintenance was lacking, the washer leaked. there was no WiFi, no laundry detergent and not close to any subway stops. however, taxi turned out to be surprisingly inexpensive in Seoul. great for my elderly mother.

    convenient for a family for longer stays. the suite was large, fully furnished with washer & dryer and full kitchen. the staff were extremely courteous and helpful.

    I think communication in English is a problem and the reason why staff interact very minimally and only if they have too. Having read previous comments in the breakfast menu I decided to have an open mind. Feedback is meant to help improve the service for the next time. sadly that was not the case. The juice containers were empty, fresh fruit that was in the plate was only pineapple and a few blueberries. I also had no interaction from staff at the breakfast desk or service.

    It was clean and comfortable.

    Free parking but expensive Wi-Fi...

    Wi-Fi being charged at 20$ in a room for which the room charge exceeds $200??? In Seoul, in South Korea??? In my 7-years of travel in South Korea I cannot remember a single hotel that ever charged me for using Wi-Fi in my room. Not even the small tourist hotels near the city center do that...no idea where this policy comes from. Of course, there are local solutions to get internet access free of charge, but trying to bill this on the account of 'newcomers' to Korea is really a strange very non-Korean thing to do it seems.

    Location was perfect for the event that we had to attend. Not anywhere close to the center of Seoul, but that was OK. Room was nice, good bed, small but well-stocked CU shop on site. Mostly 'as expected', with free parking on site.

    Didn’t like breakfast, didn’t like that everything was closed - gym, pool, 50% of restaurants, barber, executive lounge.

    I liked the staff, location, the suite ( cleanliness was average), loved the view, the area, river, waterfall nearby, nature in Seoul is breathtaking. The convenient store within hotel. Liked the food.

    - No free wifi, we are in 2023, and a facility with no wifi is super worthless! Also it was not mentioned in the website or during the check-in - VERY old version of tv, no netflix or connection to the internet! - The bathroom is so old and has no bidet - The furniture is very old and outdated, many lamps didn't work too - very expensive price, which does not reflect the value of the money - Limited access to electricity sockets - Cleaning service went from two times a week to one time each 2 weeks, which was not mentioned in the website or during the check-in

    I like the location The staff are freindly

    The full restaurant is no longer open. Lounges are closed or not in use. Hotel no longer provides wash cloths in rooms. I have stayed in this Hotel for many years when it was operated by Hilton (from 2010 up until 2019) and chose the Swiss Grand because it occupies the former Hilton property. I regret I was very disappointed - restaurant and bar / lounge closed, it seemed the property was only half-open. I regret I am unlikely to stay there again; I will seek a more fully operational property for my next visit to Seoul. I am really sad, as this was my go-to place to stay for 10 years, but it is not the place today it used to be.

    The deli had very limited breakfast items; the old restaurant on the ground floor is closed and no longer used, a pity, We did not try the buffet.

    No wifi connection without extra charge. No adequate dailies supplies. You need to sollicite toilet papers at a reception in a building a block away after 6pm. Receptionists are so disengaged. The building were so horribly maintained with water leaks everywhere. Several giant cockroaches were observed. No arrival supports (indicating reception area, no luggage handling supports(It meant to be a survive appart so it is natural to expect large number of suitcases). And the most importantly non of these details were communicated prior to the arrival.

    Wifi is for an additional fee. Reasonable value for accommodation. If you want to stay it should only be to sleep and leave for any activity. Old antiques furniture, breakfast buffet in another building. The apartments were in another building far from the hotel building. The airport bus shuttle station was suspended during our stay.

    Nearby bus station, close to some fast food franchises, you were restocked with your everyday needs at 9:00.
