This was the best hotel I think I may have every stayed in! Definitely the best on our honeymoon!
Pros:

This hotel was amazing! It was in a great location just a block or two away from a huge market (not loud in the hotel at all though). The room was beautiful with a wonderful view, the entire hotel smelled amazing and the staff were all very very kind and helpful. I would come back to Seoul and stay in this hotel every time!!

Cons:

I wish the breakfast was included or cheaper, it was an amazing breakfast that we went to twice (best french toast I have ever had) but I wish it were included.

Pros:

Dieses Hotel ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl. Perfekter Service sowie komfortable und stilvolle Zimmer. Besonders gut hat mir gefallen, dass es eine separate Duschkabine und eine separate Badewanne gibt. Das Badezimmer ist sehr geräumig.

Ich würde auch das Frühstück im Hotel empfehlen. Es ist zwar ziemlich teuer, aber die Auswahl ist gut, und die Dim Sum waren die besten, die ich je gegessen habe. Außerdem gibt es eine Mischung aus koreanischen und westlichen Gerichten.

Die Auswahl an Gebäck ist eher klein, und auch beim Müsli gibt es nicht allzu viele Möglichkeiten zum Zusammenstellen. Ich nehme aber an, dass das für die Region recht typisch ist.

Cons:

alles war perfekt

This hotel and its staff is exceptional and they couldn't have made our stay in Seoul any better.
Pros:

The breakfast was magnificent with a variety of options, we did visit the restaurant on level 6 and that was a amazing experience with exceptional food.

Cons:

Rooms were a little dark and could do with extra lighting but wasn't all that of an inconvenience. Apart from that we have nothing negative to say.

Royal treatment
Pros:

The location of the hotel was excellent, within walking distance of just about everything, markets, stores, restaurants, it was amazing. The hotel was beautiful, and the staff was excellent. I was upgraded to a junior suite at no cost, which I was extremely appreciative of. The rooms were clean comfortable and a good size.

Cons:

The only suggestion I’d have would be a bit more variety on the menu for room service. I don’t eat pork or red meat so it was a bit challenging.

simpática
Pros:

Excelente localização, serviço razoável, decoração com originalidade, quarto confortável.

Cons:

Iluminação do quarto muito insuficiente e mal distribuida com comandos mal concebidos. Tive de acender a lanterna do telemóvel constantemente.
Fizemos massagem, e a massagista da minha mulher era muito pouco experiente e pouco conhecedora.
O concierge tinha funcionários muito prestáveis e simpáticos mas outros eram inúteis e mal dispostos.
Ficámos com a impressão que falta união corporativa, cultura de empresa no serviço ao cliente.
Pequeno almoço sofrível, tantos nas opções como na capacidade em absorver os clientes quando o hotel está cheio.

Delightful hotel - shame about the lighting and the cost of the extras.
Pros:

The hotel was charming and very interesting - decor was lush and colourful and very idiosyncrastic

Cons:

The price of breakfast and wine/beer was too expensive. Breakfast $75NZ - a bit expensive if you only want a couple of pieces of toast and a cup of tea - and almost $100NZ for two glasses of house wine and one beer. Again it felt like we were a captive audience and being ripped off.
