Nice facilities and good services. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Room was excellent. Just the view on the parkinglot is a pitty. Good Central location close to excellent subway system. Haven't had time for shopping, but downtown is nearby.

I've chosen the first time to stay. I was bit worried due to location and facility. However, it was a silly thought. Location is great. It is really closed to city center. Front Desk staffs are really kind! Facility is also good enough.

Very useful and convinent shuttle for free to city center. I was so impressive from guest services by front desk. Room was clean, well-organized. One thing, executive room looked bit old, but still fine!

nice, clean rooms, helpful staff, good wifi, recommendable depends what you're looking for. continental breakfast was good with many choices, basically hotel restaurant is good. but I should say is a bit far away from the heart of shopping center of the city but really close to the metro station so you can just take the train for 10-15 mins.

turn off the air condition and you can talk with your neighbor without rising your voice. Special side effect is to have a hot couple having big fun- it is like it happens in your own bed. You are really in the first row. Some people like it hot.

Booked this hotel under a very reasonably-priced package, so I'd expected a pretty old 4.5-star hotel, formerly Sofitel. We took a KAL limousine to the hotel, which took about 1.5 hours and dropped us right in front of the hotel. When we got off, I found the hotel very decent, modern and clean. The front desk staff was helpful and... More

This is a large business-level hotel. The staff is very helpful and the lobby is nice if a bit small. Hotel breakfast buffet is large and excellent, if a bit expensive (like everything else in Seoul). However, the rooms are not all up to grade.
