Pros:

Localização, café da manhã, cama e roupas de cama. Funcionários atenciosos.

Pros:

這次入住 Royal Hotel Seoul 整體體驗相當不錯。飯店最大的優點是地理位置極佳，位於明洞大街路口，無論逛街購物或搭乘大眾交通工具都非常方便。服務人員態度親切專業，讓人感到賓至如歸。
房間雖然比較有年代感，但維持得乾淨整齊,是一間位置與服務表現都相當出色的飯店。

Cons:

房間風格屬於較早期的設計，有點老舊的感覺(但維持得相當整潔),另外，浴室的浴缸高度較低，淋浴時水較容易濺出，需要稍微注意。

Great City Centre Location to Explore the Culture of Seoul
Pros:

The location right in the centre of Myeongdong with the shopping district around the hotel, with lots of restaurants and street food. The view from the Club Lounge is fabulous also.

Cons:

The hotel bar on ground level was virtually always closed, and did not sell beer. You had to go to the rooftop instead. The rooms are pretty small for a famil;y.
