Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room offered a good view of the little pagoda on the ground floor, but it felt a bit dated compared to newer hotels. The price of $300 per night was on the higher side for the week I stayed.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with a spacious king room on a high floor, providing comfort, modern amenities, and cleanliness. The location was unbeatable, especially for those looking for an ocean view. The service was exceptional with helpful and polite staff, and the facilities were top-notch.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the rooms were spacious and clean, offering good room service. However, there were some noise disturbances that could be heard from the surroundings. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Seoul with easy access to major attractions. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, always friendly and courteous. The dining experience was delightful, especially during breakfast hours. While there were some minor setbacks, the value for money was reasonable overall.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotless clean and had a good view of the little pagoda in the ground floor. Access to cocktail hour and breakfast was a nice perk. However, the dining experience could be improved due to a limited food selection.
The hotel is located just behind the Lotte World Shopping Centre and within walking distance of Myeong Dong Street Market, offering a superb location. The rooms, though a bit pricey at $300 per night, were spacious and clean. The bed was not very comfortable, needing some renovation. The service was welcoming, although the bar staff near reception were a bit slow. The dining experience was satisfactory but not as diverse as expected for a 5-star hotel.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spacious and lovely, but the bed was not as comfortable as I would have liked. The service was good, with some thoughtful gestures, though it lacked consistency. The location was great for shopping and exploring Seoul, but the value for money could have been better. The dining options were varied, with some standout dishes, but buffet-style meals were a bit of a letdown. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and worth the price, although not overly big. The service was exceptional, with staff being incredibly kind and helpful at all times. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Seoul, making it easy to access many attractions. The dining experience was top-notch, but I wished the restaurant closed a bit later. Overall, a fantastic choice for my visit to Seoul!
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, offering access to cocktail hour and breakfast as nice perks. The rooms, although a bit old with mainly small bathtubs, are comfortable. However, the hotel lacks charm and feels small. Close proximity to the city center is a major advantage.
