Being an English speaker it was very easy to communicate with the whole staff. From check in to dinning the cleaning staff and security. Perfect location for see all the sights near by Just steps away from shopping and night market. Everyone was kind and helpful. It felt very welcoming and safe. The breakfast buffet was great with wonderful views of the city. Great afternoon tea and light snacks. We were in town 10 days. Two of which were spent in Busan. They stored our extra luggage during that time until our return. Very convenient.

Perfect location
Perfect location with easy access to food shopping. Centrally located to historic sites and equally entertaining neighborhoods. The staff is friendly and helpful. Mr Kim head of security helped greatly with my questions. It felt very relaxing and safe. Would definitely stay here again. They also stored our luggage while we left for a couple days to explore other parts of Korea. Before our return to hotel for remainder of our visit. Helped with calling taxis and any other questions we had

Metro stop was about a 10-15 minute walk from hotel. Night market was right down the street. Staff were friendly. Only complaint was that the room was small.

A lovely hotel in the heart of Myeongdong surrounded by street food markets and all the shops you would want. Next to the cathedral and great transport links. Room was cleaned everyday and staff were always so nice and accommodating. I was a single female travelling and enjoyed the safety features such as needing a key to use the elevator.

It’s actually a typical 5 star hotel. They know they offer so much amenities. The convenience to go to Myeondong street is right down the hotel.
However, I think the staff can do more by being more engaging to clients. Asking how their day, asking if they need assistance; etc.
I think the language barrier may be an issue however they were courteous enough to smile but not easily approachable as they have serious attitude.
But will smile when approached by clients. I guess in other countries I have been. It’s the staff who approach and much more open to offer assistance due to their body language.
Other than than- location is a perk for this hotel.
