I stayed at Oakwood Premier Coex Center, Seoul. for eight (8) months. My entire experience was outstanding! I was at the center of virtually everything. With the subway I coul access any part of Seoul easily and fast. The personell at Oakwood was excellent; always very attentive and very responsive. Oakwood Premier is located at the Coex (underground) Mall; this gives to the visitor access to a plethora of restaurants (with a great variety of cuisines). The facilities in each room are exceptional; the view from the room was exceptional as well. I am greatful to my Korean friends who recommended this hotel for my long stay in Seoul.

Stayed at this property for 9 months enjoyed excellent service. Overall accomodations are great, good location to the shopping mall, all transportation and resturants. Look forward to staying there again. Felt like home away from home.

Although I had difficulty sleeping the first night (I am a light sleerper and I can't sleep if there is any air conditioning noise - so my sensitivity, my husband slept soundly), the Oakwood staff were very courteous and helped us change our room to a higher floor (the 19th). Unfortunately, this room was on the same side as previously and therefore close to the air conditioning outlets of the COEX mall itself. We remedied this by obtaining a spare bed so I could sleep not in the glorious corner bedroom but in the quieter lounge room. C'est la vie! My husband slept fine without me tossing and turning all night!

Once all of this was sorted of course in a very pleasant way, I cannot dismiss the fact that Oakwood Premier is a class-act. The breakfast area is highly civilised, with pleasant music, fast topping up of food, efficient removal of used plates. The spread was very nice and included smoked salmon and an assortment of cheeses. If I have to be picky I would have liked to have seen a change in the variety of juices each day. My husband ordered omelette on a few occasions and I guess it would have been nice to see a chef prepare this in front of us, as some establishments do. Overall, the standard of breakfast is impeccable.

Rooms were spacious and I cannot fault the cleaniliness. The only thing I would say is that one day the cleaner asked us to clean the room just after 6pm when we were winding down after a day of touring. I thought that was a tad too late, so we declined.

The female concierge who helped us - I don't know her name - but I thank you for all of your kind assistance - in helping us with our tour plans. In fact all of the staff were very kind including the reception staff who felt sorry for me after my first night of lack of sleep.

Most of the people who stay at Oakwood I think are business people. We were tourists. Using Samseong Station it takes approximately 45-50 minutes to reach Jongno - the main attraction area. From Samseong Station it was close to the Dong Seoul Sation (Ganbyeon Stn) from where we headed off to Seoraksan and Donggueureng Tombs in Guri. Of course COEX Mall is connected to Oakwood Premier and also the Hyundai Department Store. The

I was in Seoul on a business trip for 4 weeks, so brought my husband and one year old son with me. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. Apartment was nice, but a little dated. It felt a little small as we were there for four weeks, but I hear there are some much larger one bedrooms available, so if space is an issue, it might be worthwhile requesting.

Staff were very friendly and accomodating. We had a baby cot and highchair provided for the duration of our stay. The buffet breakfast is definately worth it too. My son loved the playroom, which has toys to accomodate the real little ones through to older kids too, as there is a Wii and video games. Oakwood can help organise regular babysitting service.

The room service food wasn't very good - pizza tasted like cardboard... BUT there are heaps of restaurants/cafes in the area, so easy just to pop out to grab some food. A visit to the Hyundai food court/supermarket is nice too.

A bit dissapointed in the business centre - costs are very high for just the use of one of the rooms. Would be nice for residents to get discounts.
