Orakai Insadong Suites
By far the best experience I have had with a hotel. We received an upgraded suite, the room was spacious and spotless. The hotel has wonderful amenities as well, and a staff that were so friendly and helpful. Fantastic location if you are visiting Seoul for the first time. I hope to come back someday ...
