Absolute nightmare – Denied shuttle service twice with zero care from staff!
Pros:

​I strongly advise thinking twice before staying here.
​We planned to use the hotel shuttle bus to get to the subway station, but we were refused entry by the driver twice in a row for no valid reason. What made a bad situation even worse was the hotel staff's complete indifference. After the first two incidents, they offered zero apology, zero explanation, and zero support. They simply did not care.
​It was only on our third attempt that the staff finally stepped in and got us onto the shuttle.
​A shuttle service is supposed to be a convenient amenity, not a stressful ordeal. The driver’s unacceptable behavior combined with the front desk’s total lack of empathy and accountability made this a miserable experience. I will definitely not be returning and strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

The best view, the best breakfast buffet deal packages.
Pros:

Location Location Location! No hotel in Seoul can beat this location. It is center of the Seoul. The view from Grand Hyatt Seoul covers entire Seoul.
Seriously I would pay premium price for views and feeling of owing entire Seoul.
I would like to say special thank you to assistance manager at The Terrace Helia Kim for her top notch photo taking skill & her spirit of service,
The Terrace has best breakfast buffet deal packages. My family of 4 had the best vacation ever in the middle of the Seoul.

Pros:

Services

Cons:

We booked this hotel for the indoor pools for the kids but there were so many restrictions on pool usage that we ended up only using it once out of 4 days stay. Swimming pools are for swimming lanes not for reaction. Everyone has to wear swimcap to enter the pool. Indoor pool access needs reservation and can only used once a day for 1h 50mins max. Price did not justify the expectations.

"Exceeded Expectations: Still Royal Treatment as an Explorist!"
Pros:

"I had a fantastic stay at the Grand Hyatt Seoul! The overall service was exceptional, and the food throughout the hotel was excellent. I especially want to commend the staff at the deli for being so helpful and welcoming. A huge highlight was the breakfast—it was absolutely great with an amazing selection.As a loyal Hyatt member, I was especially impressed by their elite recognition. I was a Globalist for years but have recently transitioned to Explorist. However, their high standard of service did not stop there. The staff went above and beyond, delivering an exceptional level of care that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel!"

5 stars!
Pros:

My sister and I recently visited the Grand Hyatt Seoul and had such a wonderful experience! We tried The Terrace Kitchen for the first time, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious (especially the LA gal I), there was a great variety to choose from, and the atmosphere was spacious and nice.

What truly made our visit extra special was the incredible hospitality. Every member of the staff we encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and attentive. We’d especially like to thank Stella and Eunhyo Jang, who went above and beyond to make our time at our dinner memorable. She was so thoughtful and even took a Polaroid photo of my sister and me for us to keep as a souvenir!

It’s rare to come across service that feels so warm and personal. Thank you to Stella, Eunhyo, and the entire Grand Hyatt team for making our visit such a memorable one. We can’t wait to come back!

오랫만에 찾은 하얏트
Pros:

오래된 시설임에도 관리를 잘해 보여서 좋았습니다.

Cons:

화장실이 너무 좁긴 했으나 거울로 개방감을 향상시킨 점이나, 어메니티가 발망 제품이라 좋았습니다. 하지만, 화장길 변기가 노후한 관계로 손잡이로 내릴 시 물내림이 원활하지 않아 많이 불편했습니다.
수영장 야외 수영장 운영시간이 18:00로 너무 일찍 마감됐으며, 실내수영장은 너무 좁았으며 예약제로만 운영되는데 실내나 야외수영장 1번만 이용할 수 있다는 점이 아쉬웠습니다.

Beautiful Hotel
Pros:

Stayed 2 nights with wife and teenage daughters. This was a beautiful hotel woth great food, although expensive, which was expected. The kids mostly enjoyed the pool, although the "no toys" rule was lame, kids couldn't enjoy their diving toys. Hotel is not is about a 15-20min walk from Itaewon (maybe my family is slow though!), so expect to take a cab or hotel shuttle for travel, which are easy options. Had a great view on the Han River side of the hotel. The room was a little smaller then expected for a reservation of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pullout bed/linen was not ready when we got into the room, had to call the front and ask and it took about 45mins for delivery, which was a little disappointing after a long day. We tried to use the early check-in but no rooms were available, didn't get back to the hotel until around 10pm to get into the room.

An unforgettable welcome at the Grand Hyatt Seoul!
Pros:

An unforgettable welcome at the Grand Hyatt Seoul!

From the very moment we arrived at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, we were blown away by the incredible hospitality. The front desk team gave us a surprisingly warm and wholehearted welcome that instantly made us feel at home after our travels.

I want to express my deepest gratitude especially to Ms. Stacy. Her unparalleled service, attentiveness, and genuine kindness stood out completely. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay started perfectly, and her professionalism is a true credit to the hotel. It is rare to encounter someone so dedicated to excellence. Thank you, Stacy, and thank you to the entire front desk team for making our visit so memorable. We cannot wait to return!

Fancy hotel, nice grand club, comfy beds
Pros:

This was a nice hotel with comfortable beds, I traveled with my family including my kids. I am a globalist, and they gave me connecting rooms on a high floor.

My complaints: they don’t allow kids in the grand club after 6pm. They only provide kids meals - you’re supposed to leave your kids alone in the room to eat while you eat in the lounge. If they have a problem with kids they should create a designated kids seating area.

The pool/sauna area- this was nice but so packed. And the sauna/hot tub locker areawas packed full of naked people, no bathing suits or towels in sight. I guess it’s a cultural thing, but it was too much for me.

Overall, a very nice hotel with excellent service. I’d stay here again as a globalist.
