    Perfect end of our Holiday in Seoul

    The only thing we didn’t like very much about the hotel was the bathroom. The bathtub wasn’t very functional—it was a bit impractical to take a shower because the water would go everywhere. Another issue was the lack of towel hangers, which made things slightly inconvenient. Other than that, everything was perfect!

    Perfect location! We loved taking the bus during our stay in Seoul, and the hotel is very well connected to multiple bus lines—much better than taking the metro. Riding the bus allows you to actually see the city as you travel. We stayed in one of the Corner Suites, which was very spacious—perfect for big suitcases and unpacking all your shopping. The hotel staff were lovely, especially one of the staff members who helped us on several occasions and even gave me a breakfast coupon for my birthday. Such a thoughtful gesture!.

    Good location for getting a bus, but metro is about 10/15 min walk away. Buses are so frequent though it didn't matter!

    Really lovely stay in Seoul, near the palaces. Staff were extremely friendly and recommended us a great dinner place on our first night. Room was always cleaned well and facilities for washing in the basement.

    - There was no air conditioning. Our room was always super warm and we were advised to open the windows but then it was loud. - Sockets missing around the room

    - Nice location close to Gwanjang market, a nice restaurant area, convenience stores and close to bus stops. - The hotel has all you need. Also an affordable laundry service (we did a load of laundry for only 5.000 won). - The staff was super kind and helpful. Thank you so much! - A beautiful rooftop with a nice view to a palace

    The night time receptionist on the 3rd night that we stay was a bit odd. He talked to us like we are his enemies. We had a problem with the dry clean machine and we asked him how to fix it and he told us he couldn't do anything with his angry tone. He answered without listening to the details of the problem.

    The location is near the school

    The breakfast could have been more appealing...appetizing. stale bread. Weird butter.

    The place was clean and very efficient. A little walk to metro but I was okay. There are some palaces and a market in walking distances.

    It was very hot in the room even with open windows. Breakfast wasnt that good because when we were coming to the restaurant, around 9.00, a lot of things were missing from buffet, otherwise they had a pretty good selection of foods. Almost no fruits or fresh vegetables

    It was a good location, close to different bus stops. Our room was pretty spacious, nice bathroom, comfy beds.

    The position of the floor drain in the washroom is poorly situated, leading to higher chances of flooding the washroom if the water splashes out of the bathtub.

    Receptionist was kind enough to help keep away our bags in storage when we couldn't check in early, and subsequently we were checked into a room with a view of the grounds of the nearby palace. Good and comfortable beds with a decent attached washroom.

    That our flight changed the departing time and we had to leave early!

    Everything was on spot at this hotel. It is conveniently located next to Changgyeonggung and at 15min walking from DDP. The room, bathroom and the lobby were spotless, the bed so comfortable and the staff very helpful. To my favorite clerk at the Front Desk, yes you with the Ronaldinho phone cover, THANK YOU for all the good infos about the city and the restaurants you gave us. We appreciate it a lot!! We will definitely recommend this place to our friends :)

    The room’s aircon would only operate when the keycard was in, which I understand was an energy saving measure but it did mean we would walk into a hot room more often than not. My partner is vegetarian and there were few to none options for her that we could see. Would have been nice if we could have turned off the automatic sensor lights at the entrance at night.

    Staff were very friendly and spoke great English. The rooms were kept very clean and were looked after attentively. Decent enough room in the hotel plus a small gym and rooftop garden. Overall was very pleasant and good value for our stay.

    We didn’t know there was a room with water distributor, microwave, and a scale to weight your luggage until the last day

    location is good, near attractions and very quiet. The hotel is neat and tidy, the staff is kind and helpful. We were allowed to check in late and they stored our luggage for the day the last day. There’s a laundry room and rooftop with a nice view of the city. How room was also pretty big.
