Adequate stay with minor issues

friendly staff free upgrade strong smell musty cupboards

The staff was friendly. They helped me with my luggage when I arrived at the hotel. I was able to check in about 1.5 hours early. The hotel gave me a free upgrade to a better room.

The check-in area was not comfortable. The hotel used a very strong smell. It was too unlit for my taste. The cupboards in my room smelled musty when I opened them.

stylish stay with subway access

wide variety helpful staff convenient location

the lounge access was a great perk, i especially liked the wide variety of drinks available. the staff were very helpful and the bar on the top floor was a nice spot. i found the location convenient being next to the subway and within walking distance of myeongdong night market (it was about a 10-minute walk).

i did notice the absence of a laundry service, which could be inconvenient for longer stays. it's a minor point, but worth noting for travelers who need to refresh their wardrobe.

The hotel is very close to the subway. Line 4 is directly outside the building. namdaemun market, sinsegae department store and myeongdong are within easy reach from the premises. most attractions are within walking distance of the hotel.

breakfast buffet afternoon snack full bar ideal location

I found the breakfast buffet to be a real highlight, and it included both western and korean options. the afternoon snack selection had cheeses and salads. a full bar. i appreciated the ability to mix my own drinks or have the staff prepare them. the location was ideal. The airport bus stopped nearby.

the water pressure in the shower wasn't great. it made rinsing off a little difficult after using shampoo. otherwise everything was perfect.

The breakfast options were amazing. i loved that there was a generous and delicious menu with international choices. the happy hour in the evening felt fabulous. We were able to have spirits, wine. some lovely food. i really enjoyed the library setting.

the room was really dark. it was hard to see because i think there should have been better lighting. the ventilation system was also not the best. i smelled smoke in our room a few nights.
