Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Room is very spacious but a bit dated, especially the bathroom which needs an upgrade. The windows aren't that well sound proof as we could hear the traffic even thought we were on the 10th floor. Staff are friendly and curteous. Buffet breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. There was renovations taking place which we were made aware of after we've booked it, but that didn't bother us as we were out during the day. However, the lack of available lifts due to the renovations made us wasted a lot of time just waiting for an available lift with enough space for us.

The hotel room was comfortable, and the staff were helpful. The hotel breakfast was also very good. The location is excellent, and very close to major cultural heritage and other tourist sites. I'd recommend this hotel to other visitors to Seoul as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed in Seoul. The room temperature was not controllable. It was too warm. The air conditioner could not be turned on for maintenance, so the only way to cool down was to open the windows. Unfortunately, an outside renovation was underway and making a lot of noise. These conditions should have been disclosed before or after reservations are made. The elevators were slow and crowded. The whole stay was terrible. The only saving grace was that the room had a view of KyungBokGung, Blue House, and Bukak mountain.
