What guests are saying:
Best place to stay if you into shopping
The swimming pool is very good.
The room is standard but for 500 usd a night I didn't expect to be staring straight into another building. I understand it is one of the first western hotels in Korea but for that price i'd rather stay at the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong.
the hotel is very convenience for people go shopping at Myengdong and South Gate with just few minutes walk from hotel, won't be too crowded as hidden on a small street, staff is helpful, room is a bit old but still comfortable
The hotel is centrally located at the heart of Seoul city. Cityhall square, Gwanghwamun plaza, or Myeongdong(shopping district) in walking distance. Staffs were well-trained and kind, services they offered during staying were very satisfied and impressive.
We came to Seoul in a group of 3 and decided to stay at executive deluxe double room. We paid for am extra bed but the room is so small that the extra bed could barely fit in. Therefore, I would recommend that the maximum number of person for this type of room is 2.
Overall experience wad great, except that i wasnt informed it's full nonsmoking hotel.
Staff were all friendly and were able to speak multiple languages.
Very close to public transportations, restaurants and shops.
Suitable for
Very nice centrally located hotel with all amenities for a traveler at the door. close to Chinatown and Lotte Duty Free is next door. KAL Limousine stops at the hotel for a convenient ride from the airport.

Good location & service”
Very good location, incheon airport limusine stop at the hotel. 2 minute to subway & many shopping center Lotte shopping mall, duty free shop...., myungdung walk street... Very convenion, I lost my child at Lotte shopping mall but the Lotte lost & found center help me find them so many .....many thanks.
Club lounge help me late check out 2 pm so many thanks. If you have child not need to book club lounge executive room because the child under 4 can not go there & 13 yrs can not go for happy hour from 5pm so my family executive room all benefit is nothing to use for me. Some hotel have arrange 1 area same meetting room or the other area at club lounge for family with children..... It's very good.
If I go to Seoul, I will come back this hotel again.

The staff service was amazing, very helpful and kind.
But I think the room are a bit old, the lobby is very new and modern, so I was shocked when I enter the room that it was a bit old, I wish the room was renovated and newer, then it will be better.

Not Family friendly Hotel and alot of additional cost in it”
I booked for 2 Executive Rooms (1 queen bed & 1 single bed) with breakfast for 4 Adult and 2 Children and also requested for connecting room. Upon check-in, i was told to pay additional KW30,000 per night for connecting rooms which i paid for it as i was young children. I was again told to pay children breakfast KW29,000 per day as its not included. I was shocked. When i asked the staff again, they start showing me attitude. Strongly don't recommend this hotel as i personally feel the service and standard is not valued the amount you paid for it.
PS: The KW30,000/night you pay is actually only remove the cardboard in the middle of the 2 connecting door.

Food is expensive, cannot get SPG points, but overall a very nice place to stay. Gym facilities are very nice. They lend you a free shirt, shorts (with net), and socks to wear. Locker room has a swimsuit drying machine. Swim caps are required but available to borrow. Sauna is NOT included in rate and costs 40,000 won extra. Gym has lots of treadmills, some bikes (including a Technogym spin bike), weight machines, and some cool wooden massage roller machines.

Luxury hotel but the room design is a bit outdated”
The hotel location is good. Though it is very close to Myeong Dong, but the surrounding neighbourhood is quiet. The hotel is not cheap, over USD200/per night without breakfast, but the room size is big and clean.
However, the bathroom design is a bit outdated, I would prefer to have a shower instead of the old fashioned bath tub.
Further, the breakfast is good but too pricey.
The bell service is excellent, they could get you a taxi right away and instruct the driver for you.
Anyway, this hotel deserves the 5 stars rating, but for the same money, I can have plently of choices with newer facility .

Great hotel . Especially with the executive lounge”
Deluxe rooms or business rooms are similar to the executive rooms except that the executive one has access to the lounge . The lounge as usual offers breakfast snacks and cocktails . But the cocktails here from 6-8pm offers wide variety of wines and drinks and the food is also really good. They normally have charcuterie and have hot meals there too .. but the salmon - salad , or baked or grilled was our favorite and all really good ! I actually looked forward to the cocktails daily !

The hotel is right in front of Myeongdong where shops open until very late (11PM). This hotel is on KAL limousine route so commuting to and from airport is very convenient. Rooms are well decorated and maintained. I always stay at this hotel when visit Korea and the rooms here are always spotlessly clean. Highly recommended .
