10/10 Excellent

Staff were very helpful and accommodating of needs; would definitely recommend to others and would stay there again when in Seoul!
Rameel Syed, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice breakfast, convenience location, airport bus right outside the hotel.
Ma, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a very spacious and clean room. Since there is also a pool and gym, it's nice to spend time just in the hotel as well. It's also just a short walk to the Design Plaza, so it's perfect for enjoying the night market and other attractions.

Mark, 14-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which felt new and was very clean. The location was incredibly convenient, offering easy access to attractions and public transport. However, the surrounding area could be a bit cleaner, and there was an occasional sewage smell. I also noticed a bit of dust in the room, likely from the bed, but overall, it was a good experience.
Hyunjung, 1-night trip

Ashley, 4-night trip

our family of 3 stayed in this property for 3 days. We enjoyed the stay. The room was clean and spacious. After traveling for over a week already, we were pleasantly surprised to find a washing machine for laundry in the room. We also liked the swimming pool and sauna room.
Otto, 3-night trip

Chiang, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I like the size of the junior suite and the round shaped bath tub is very nice. Very accessible to 3 lines of metro. The concierge is helpful. But a junior suite on the 3rd floor is ridiculous, I can hear the noise from party revellers at night, woken up by construction in the day. And the lifts are nonsense. I have never stayed in a hotel that required me to wait in the lobby for a lift for more than 5 mintues and not because it is crowded but it is slow.
Patrick, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Must stay.

Superior hotel exceeded all expectations.
judy, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

As a VIP member, I did not receive any special treatment or upgrades. The breakfast was very disappointing, and it’s not worth of the money. I should’ve booked other place. I don’t see it as a 5 star hotel.
Yoon, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is clean and pleasant. Staff are helpful and friendly. Besides, the location is close to shopping areas, subway station, and restaurants.
Melissa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in the premium one bedroom, which was great for a family of three. Location was close to the ddp and walking distance to stores and subways. Swimming pool was great on the weekday. Would definitely stay again.
Daniel, 3-night trip
