Reviews

  • Olivia from Australia (9/10)

    Cloud-like bed and lovely aromatherapy. Spacious suite with steam shower and bathtub. Basic free mini bar and madeleines were a nice touch. The relaxing and luxurious stay was reflected in the cost. Breakfast was included—options for made-to-order Korean breakfasts and a generous and plentiful buffet complete with egg, noodle soup and waffle station.
    Access to fitness centre and swimming pool included. Sauna access is a 50% discount for hotel guests; it is a must if you haven't been to public bathhouses or find them too crowded or hectic. An excellent location for walking in Nasam Park and to Seoul Tower.

  • Anthony from United States (9/10)

    Excellent caring staff that goes the extra mile. Very friendly and professional. Great attention to detail in cleaning the room. Most staff have a good command of English which was helpful. Amazing bath in the room and nice facilities if that is your thing. Awesome view from the room of Seoul Tower!

  • Elong from Australia (8/10)

    Room was exceptional

  • Emma from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The best hotel I've ever stayed in! I booked this hotel as a treat for final night in South Korea after just over 2 weeks exploring as much as I could in this amazing country. I almost felt disappointed going out in the evening as I had to sacrifice time in my amazing room. I booked a Premier suite and enjoyed the views from my room, the pool and the amazing showers. Plus, the massage chair. I couldn't get out of it for 30 minutes! Not only this, the staff were incredible. So friendly and breakfast service was amazing. It was fantastic to have a final Korean meal and recommendations from the chef cooking your food fresh as you head to their counter.

  • Sam from South Korea (9/10)

    loved the surrounding, especially trail up to the namsan tower, and down trail next to fortress, indoor jacuzzi, shower, view was amazing overall.

  • Hoon from United States (9/10)

    I have stayed in there for 5 days.
    I felt it was very good breakfast with very kind staffs.
