A truly exceptional stay, from organising a room for us to use as we’d arrived before check in time, to wonderful restaurant service, delicious room service and truly delightful staff - they couldn’t have done more to ensure a great stay. Gym facilities and an excellent location add to the enormous appeal.
I felt the staff went above and beyond what I asked of them or needed. They are amazing and helped put my simple one night stay at ease. Next trip I plan to try the spa and breakfast. But I'm sure it'll be just as amazing!
Was great. No complaints. Some misunderstanding due to language barriers.vwry nice staff. Excellent food. Spacious room. Will go back.
And great central location.
Large hotel with good amenities and excellent service. The breakfast Buffet is extensive and caters to every whim - Asian, Western, even gummy bears! Nice spa. Near Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
The location of the hotel was best! dongdaemun is a popular touristy area with DDP, station , Seoul city wall, east gate, the city steam all in 5 min walking distance.
The staff were exceptionally helpful, from their general professionalism and courteousness to helping us find amazing local places to eat. And I also need to mention how clean our rooms were every single day, the housekeeping staff thoroughly cleaned and supplied the room perfectly, I think the hotel itself, the physical aspects are fine, but what makes the property special are the well trained and professional and friendly staff.
