Good location
Pros:

Great location. Friendly staff. Nice room. Complimentary tickets to nearby Deoksugung Palace across the street. Walking distance to many restaurants and markets. Uber/taxi readily available and subway stop right by the hotel. We had a late departing flight and hotel happily held our bags. Didn't use fitness facilities but looked at it and it was well equipped with lap pool and good-sized gym. As a runner, I appreciated that I was able to cross the street and run to the Gyeonbokgung Palace without many crosswalks.

Cons:

I’m not sure why but the cooling system for the hotel was not operational . If you turned it on, it blew warm air into the room which made it too hot. Hotel was nice to switch us to a cooler room.

It’s okay to have a short stay in this hotel. Good selection of breakfast. Staff was great and warm. thank you
Pros:

MyeongDong is only 11mins walk from the hotel

Cons:

Unable to control heater or aircon manually. The heater was too warm for my husband and I. We ended up have to open the window to let some cool air in at night so we can sleep better after a 11 hours flight. It would dangerous to let the window open if we have a kid. Luckily we have not had any kids yet.

침구 뒤에서 발견된 쓰레기봉지와 화장실 내 머리카락
Pros:

위치가 좋았습니다. 그외에 장점은 모르겠어요

Cons:

청결상태. 머리카락이 나오고 침대 뒷편에서 쓰레기가 든 봉지가 발견되었습니다. 룸은 바꿔주셨지만 5성급 호텔에서 이런 일을
겪다니.. 다시는 이용하지 않을거 같습니다.

Great location, good stay in Seoul
Pros:

The public spaces in this hotel are excellent. The staff are exceptionally polite and efficient, if not quite welcoming. The place smells incredible (there’s a whole scent museum on site). Breakfast was adequate, and expensive if not included in the room rate. The rooms are a little dated—very modern in their style, very small. Not uncomfortable. But not the height of luxury anymore. THe hotel is very well located for the main attractions—the palace complexes, the shopping areas, temples, and the night markets. The lantern festival was still in full swing while we were there, and it is very accessible from the hotel and probably my favorite thing in Seoul. We stayed here primarily because it is a Marriott property, and while the location can’t be beat there are more luxurious options.

Céntrico bien comunicado
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta, muy céntrico el hotel y con todos los servicios al lado. La habitación muy bien, limpia, grande y con todo lo que se necesita. La calefacción perfecta porque tenía la temperatura ideal considerando que durante mi estancia, hacia 15ºC fuera pero entras y enseguida notaba el calor.

Cons:

Todo perfecto. No tengo nada que decir!
