The hotel was located in a vibrant area close to many tourist attractions, making it easy to access via the Metro. The rooms were well-equipped and had a good view, although they could have been a bit more spacious. The service received was efficient and effective, with excellent attention to our room, even though a warmer touch from the front desk staff would have been appreciated. The dining experience left something to be desired with limited dessert options, but the facilities overall were satisfactory.

The hotel is located in a bustling business area, making it convenient for travelers engaging in business activities. The service was efficient and effective, although a bit more warmth from the front desk staff would have been appreciated. The rooms were equipped with all necessary facilities, including a good-sized toilet, making the stay comfortable. However, the price could be seen as slightly high for the value offered.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel with its beautiful view and great facilities. The room was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities but the toilet was a bit small. The service was efficient, although I wished for a bit more warmth and hospitality from the front desk staff. The location was perfect, close to the main historical attractions. The dining experience with the baby back ribs was truly delightful.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right in the heart of the Gwanghwamun area. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a fantastic view. The service was efficient, though a bit more warmth from the front desk staff would have been appreciated. Dining options were limited, but the wood-fired pizzas were delicious. The hotel's facilities were top-notch, especially the well-maintained pool area.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, close to many attractions and not far from the subway station. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a good view, though the toilet facilities could be better. The service was efficient and effective, but a bit more warmth and hospitality from the front desk staff would have been nice. The dining experience, especially the fresh seafood, was excellent. The facilities provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
