Ashley from Canada (9/10)
Excellent location in the heart of Jamsil. Lotte Mall right next door with the beautiful Seokchon Lake across the street.
A massive amount of restaurants, bars and coffee shops within minutes walk.
Subway was also minutes away.
We had a family room (2 kids under 6) and it was spacious and had all the trimmings. Very quiet with very comfy beds.

Ho from Canada (9/10)
Even though is not in the center of the city, but there are a big mall beside the hotel. It was Seoul raining season and it was a prefect hotel for us to stay while we can enjoy the pool and the spa during the rainy day and easy access to the mall.
