The hotel is situation in a prime location for visitors and tourist. A shoppers paradise with nightly market within walking distance. Transport and the subway is very convenient as well as many good and cheap restaurants near the hotel and shopping mall. The location is ideal and this compensate for the small rooms with very limited space for luggages.

Deanna

Disliked: Staff & service
I booked my stay about a year in advance and only booked this hotel due to one particular room that was fairly large with a wrap-around window. When I was ready to check in, I located my room, opened the door, and I was standing in a small, rundown standard room, not the room I had booked. I returned to the reception desk and told the staff I’d been given the wrong room. I also pulled up my reservation and confirmed the room I’d booked. To my shock, instead of apologizing and immediately correcting their error, the staff told me I’d been given the correct room, then changed the story and said the room I booked was not available, and then began offering me an equivalent room with the caveat that I would have to pay more. When I insisted on a refund, suddenly, the room I’d booked was available. The staff at this hotel gaslit, lied, and never apologized. Although I have no proof that their behavior was discriminatory, there’s always that possibility. I will never give this hotel my business in the future. I moved to the Ryse Autograph Collection after my stay at this hotel, and the experience was like night and day — I was warmly welcomed, provided with above and beyond service, and treated with the utmost respect.

Everything you need is just below the hotel and within walking distance. The only downside is the traffic sound from the road. We were on the 11th floor and could hear it quite clearly, so if you are a light sleeper this might not be a good option.

Perfect location, lots of food options around. Food court at LOTTE department store. Airport bus is close to the hotel . For big grocery store head to LOTTE mart at the Seoul station . At Seoul station you can also direct train to the airport. Room big enough for family of four. Kids liked the bathtub. Mega coffee around the corner. Hotel is on top of the Apple Store it took us a minute to find. Hotel has robot vacuum which cleans the halls, also big hit with kids.

The room was great, perfectly sized for one, might have been a bit of small for two. The location of the hotel is perfect, close to the heart of Myeongdong but still quiet. Also very close to Seoul Metro stations so great as a base for travelling around the city. Would definitely stay here again.

It is a good functional hotel convenient for shopping, bars and cafes. The breakfast is pretty average but does the job. Most cafes dont open early so it's probably a safe choice.
