    Good service apartment with good location and courteous staff.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Executive One-Bedroom Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    There is no room cleaning service and change of towels on every Sunday and there is no Air Con in the room during the spring season. The food choices available for breakfast served in this facility are limited day by day. You might get bored with the food choices when you have breakfast for five consecutive days or more.

    The room have a great view of the Gyeongbokgung Palace and its surrounding. There is a billiards table and children playing room on the second floor of this service apartment. The counter staff are very courteous and provide very fast and efficient services. This service apartment is located near the Insadong and Gyeongbokgung Palace area.

    Not much of a view despite being on a high floor. The room was at 26 degrees Celsius when we arrived and remained at 23 Celsius at bed time; I didn't see an a/c remote. Noise from the wind was loud in the room. Mattress for the single bed was too firm. Temperature in the breakfast restaurant was also too warm.

    Great location and spacious, clean accomodations. I only briefly heard neighboring guests. Parking was easy and early parking was accomodated. Reception desk was friendly. Breakfast staff was attentive and coffee was good. Enjoyed the pool table and fitness room.

    The Somerset Palace is in a great location and has friendly, helpful staff; we would stay again!
    • Leisure trip

    The hotel is a bit dated which wasn't a problem for us, however, there was a large spot on the carpet in the main bedroom and the wooden floor in the living room area was very scratched up. There were also some spots from water damage on the ceiling and some loose texture/ bubbling.

    We really liked the location of the hotel, near several palaces and areas that we wanted to see. We enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and that it had separate bedrooms, a kitchen, and a washing machine to do laundry. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, especially the staff running the breakfast area. The room was also very clean.

    Breakfast was basic

    The location of this hotel is very good due to the proximity to the Palace, a very famous Buddhist Temple and a shopping street with plenty of very nice restaurants and small shops. The room was big, very clean and comfy. All staff were friendly and very helpful to assist us e.g. to book taxis for sightseeing-tours outside of Seoul.

    I wish they'd put toiletries in the room when a guest arrives (there was no body soap in the bathroom when I checked in). The staff wasn't as proactive as I would have hoped they'd be when I requested their help with booking another night at the hotel after my flight was cancelled.

    Amazing location, comfortable bed, nice facilities (swimming pool, jacuzzi, lounge, pool). They clean the room daily.

    There isn't a single thing that I didn't like. Everything was perfect just like how i expected it to be

    Check-in was very smooth and it took less than 3 minutes. The same goes for the check-out process. The room was well-maintained, clean and spacious. The receptionists were extremely friendly and helpful.

    The BED!!!!! Usually my husband and I do not sleep sound in the hotel, the bed we slept at this hotel was not only huge but also so comfortable. Also, WASHING/DRYER in the apartment, we were staying while a lot of raining was in Seoul and all wet clothings were nicely cleaned and dried :). Definitely staying again.

    Unfortunately, housekeeping accidentally threw away/took a gift I had prepared for a friend from my home country (two new books and some soap). After a long discussion over checking CCTV and trying to figure out what happened, the housekeeping staff reimbursed the cost of my gift. Overall, I was satisfied with the outcome. However, they shouldn't have thrown items away that they weren't sure of. The wine glass smashed very very easily. I only tapped it very lightly when washing up, which we had to pay for on checkout

    Staff were absolutely lovely and had great English support. The hotel was super clean and nearby key areas for tourists. The breakfast food was good and we got our two week stay at an affordable price. The rooftop garden is beautiful and overall it had great facilities such as a gym, areas to socialise in, breakfast, restaurants, convenience stores etc. The bathroom was very clean and the shower had amazing water pressure. The room had both underfloor heating and air con so you could be comfortable during your stay.

    The pillow covers were a little bit dirty. The view from our room was just another building.

    Staff was very nice because our original room smelled like smoking so we got upgraded to a better room. The room was spacious and it had all necessary utensils. The couch in the room was comfortable
