Location was phenomenal. The only criticism I have is that the bathtub is a bit slippery, so something to be aware of.

The Royal is in a fantastic position in the the thick of all the action in Myeongdong. It is in a quiet position just above the street action. It is handy to public transportation and many high end shops. Very accessible to many of the cities highlights. Staff were a delight. Restaurant and bars have great views.

Lily, one of the cleaning staff was very helpful. The security personnel were also very helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the hotel itself looks really nice and it is centrally located. It was a little pricey but everything is good.

The hotel was in an amazing location, steps to all shopping and food. Hotel itself was good, had to pay an upgrade fee for a king bed which I had reserved a queen. The room direction could have been better since I did upgrade, I was facing a roof of a building. Included breakfast which was good. I would stay again for the location.

The hotel is situated in a very central location, close to the night market, shopping streets and metro station. The room was of average size, after adding an extra bed made it feel small. The breakfast buffet was good with a wide selection.

Lobby and lift had a weird smell, had to pay extra to check out later. The room was small but at least it was slightly cleaner than the lobby and lift.
