  • Ophelia from Taiwan (9/10)

    This hotel is located downtown so it's really convenient for tourists to get around in the city. The view and breakfast are also fantastic, for you can see Seoul Tower through the windows of the 20th-floor lobby, and a variety of foods are offered in the morning, and they taste good as well. The room is always clean and tidy, so I believe housekeepers are very professional and efficient in their work.
