Wonderful hotel with a top tier luxury experience.
Pros:

Facilities are top tier! Staff are truly some of the best in the world

Cons:

Extremely high accommodation fees. Some nickel and diming along the way. Was told I had a spa access when I checked in, asked twice to confirm. Turns out I didn’t and was charged extra to use the facilities.

I only do 5 star hotels when I’m traveling in Asia/SE Asia, so I found it to be a very pleasant stay and look forwar
Pros:

A little outside of the hustle and bustle, but just what I was looking for. They have a shuttle that drops you by the Dongguk University line station, which is utilized multiple times during my stay. I unfortunately, did not take advantage of any other facility in the hotel other than my room. Room was spacious, clean, great pressure in the shower. As others have mentioned, it’s beginning to show a bit of its age, but they have maintained the hotel quite well. All the staff were extremely polite and helpful.

Cons:

I couldn’t get the Bidet spout to adjust since I’m quite petite, but that’s about it!
