Pros:

The hotel made a great base for our exploration of Seoul. Although it's not actually at Seoul station, it's only one stop away, and is right above the metro line. I was worried about the busy road outside, but it didn't disturb our sleep at all. The inside is very modern and the room is a good size. The staff were also very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay.

Good Location
Pros:

Good location, right by exit 10 @Sookmyung Women’s Uni (Line 4). Room size is adequate and comes with natural lighting from windows.
Note: L4 is an extremely convenient line to many places like Seoul Station, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun.

Cons:

We were generally happy with the hotel except for 2 incidents.
1. There was a fire alarm around 11pm-ish one night, the alarm went off for extended period and announcement was in Korean language; we took the que to evacuate our room (on level 12) since we were unsure of the situation. When we reached the hotel lobby at level 1 we were told that there was no fire and no cause for alarm, we were advised to go back to our rooms. We noted that there were probably another 6 guests (non-Koreans) at the hotel lobby who had also got down from level 11. After we went back to our room, the hotel reception called and asked if there was a fire in our room?!?!
2. On the day when we checked out of our hotel (around 10.30am), we left a stuff toy behind in the room, it was entirely our oversight due to carelessness. Around 5.30pm the same day we noted the missing stuff toy so we contacted the hotel immediately to inquire, the hotel was rather prompt in their response and we were informed that no stuff toy was found; we requested for a thorough check and received the same response that they did not find the stuff toy.

Central location, right in front of subway and bus stops are within walking distance, easy to go everywhere in Seoul. The room was big enough for two people, able to open up luggage.

Cons:

Lack of storage place for towels, clothes etc in the bathroom

Pros:

Excellent séjour. La chambre double deluxe est spacieuse avec une vue imprenable sur la N Seoul Tower. Le personnel a été très sympathique durant tout le séjour. L’emplacement de l’hôtel est idéal au niveau de la station de métro Sookmyung Women’s University, à 3 arrêts de Myeong-dong. En bonus, il y a un bus navette pour aller à l’aéroport juste à côté.

Cons:

Literie un peu trop ferme.

Super.
Pros:

Lokalizacja jest mega, metro jest od razu pod hotelem, dużo knajp obok wzdłuż ulicy. Butelki z wodą oraz nowe ręczniki czekały codziennie pod drzwiami. Można zostawić za darmo bagaże na przechowanie. 13 min drogi pieszo na stację główną.

Cons:

Trochę głośno za oknem.

Convenient stay near Seoul station.
Pros:

It is clean and the staff is lovely.

Cons:

It’s actually located near Sookmyung station, not Seoul station. The facilities are quite rudimentary.. it has what you need but bed and pillows were not comfy, and it’s noisy with the trains running behind the building.
It’s not great but it’s close to the metro station and easy access if you come from the airport and want to explore the hotspots north of Hangang.

Nice hotel , very close to Seoul Station
Pros:

Nice hotel just one metro stop from Seoul Station . Metro exit is directly outside the hotel which is very convenient. Lots of bars and restaurants close by.

Cons:

Room was quite small compared to other hotels I’ve stayed at in Seoul.

Ok, aber dennoch nicht unbedingt noch einmal....
Pros:

Lage des Hotels direkt an der U-Bahn Station, das war praktisch.
Rezeption hatte sehr nettes und hilfreiches Personal.
Zimmer waren sauber.

Cons:

Zimmer war trotz geschlossener Fenster unangenehm laut - U-Bahn und Straßenverkehr waren zu hören und das, obwohl wir im 18. Stock unser Zimmer hatten.
Klimananlage im Zimmer war leider auch relativ laut.
Insgesamt hellhörige Zimmer - Flurgeräusche waren im Zimmer zu hören.
