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 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.

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.
