Excellent hotel. Its not that new but really done well from the inside. The location is right on top of COEX shopping mall. COEX contains literally hundreds of shops and restaurants from low range prices to mid range and a large cinema ( only shows 1 English movie at a time and most Korean movies do not have English subtitles).... more

We found ourselves in Seoul unexpectedly at a time when the city’s hotels were at capacity, and struggled to find an adequate mid-range hotel. We ultimately splurged on the Grand Intercontinental, and while it was an OK place to stay, it felt overpriced for what was on offer. The room was somewhat dated, and the bathroom quite basic for the... more

I stayed in this hotel about 4 times a year in the past because of the location which is closed in office. The room is of good size and clean. The front desk service is depending on who you get on the day. Some are friendly and helpful and some just not live up to 5 stars standard. The restaurant... more

The Grand InterContinental Seoul is centrally located and a great option for business travellers to Seoul's business district. It is connected to a wonderfl shoppng mall and within walking distance to the Covention and Exhibition Center. Very attentive staff, a wonderful breakfast buffet. Fast and efficient check-in. Spacious rooms. Will stay again on my next trip to Seoul more

Beware with the air coming out of the A/C vents in the rooms. It smells musty. Beware of the internet and breakfast charges. After 22 hours on the road, I arrived at the hotel at around 6 pm. As soon as I walked into the first room I realized that there was a problem with the quality of the air... more

I stayed at the Hyatt in Seoul as well as this hotel's club room (executive floors for both hotels). The Hyatt in Seoul in the city center by the Seoul Train Station was superior in service and amenities. The Grand is grand looking but the club lounge was not as well apportioned. Club price was more expensive for the Grand,... more

Superb & very attentive customer service. Very convenient for the tourist as it is adjacent to an Airport transportation terminal, a huge underground mall, and a subway station. Although best for the business traveler, this is a worthy splurge for the tourist. more

I stayed at the Grand Intercontinental in Seoul, Korea from 9/27 - 10/1 of 2009. Overall, I believe this is a very nice hotel in the Intercontinental hotel chain, but when compared to the Intercontinental in Hong Kong -- doesn't quite reach 5-star status in my books. ROOM: I had a room with a nice view facing the front of... more

I stayed there on two different nights. The first room was fantastic - beautiful. Two nights later I re-checked in and while it was a smaller room, I had problems with the air conditioner (it had been fine in the other room). I was told that I couldn't control it and that they turned it off for the fall. It... more

The service was great. Employees are very polite and friendly. The room was clean, beautifully decorated, spacious... The hotel is in the heart of Seoul. Coex mall is on the underground of the hotel. Great location. The Hotel is great and I didn't pay much for all this. No, I don't receive commission for tell you all this. I am... more
