The hotel is nestled on a small hill in Seoul overlooking lush greens and offering a nice view, embodying the positive sides of Korea with its well-organized and polite service. However, it is a bit far from town, though there is a free shuttle service to main tourist points. The rooms are spacious and feature all the amenities a traveler could want, including tech cords and a sophisticated toilet. The service was exceptional, with housekeepers and staff on the executive level being the best I've ever experienced. On the downside, there was a rude reception man that left a negative impression. The dining experience was exceptional, featuring local delicacies and the best pies I've ever had. Although slightly hectic, it was a delightful mob scene in the morning. The facilities were top-notch, and the hotel offered various services like room service, dry cleaning, and valet parking. Overall, a luxurious stay with some minor drawbacks.

I stayed at the hotel and had a great time overall. The room I booked was the executive deluxe twin, giving me access to the executive lounge, spa, and indoor pool without extra charge.

The location of the hotel was great, being well-centered and within easy walking distance to the Dongguk University stop, offering convenience to reach key tourist sites after a few stops. It's not right in the busiest part of the city but still close enough, though the decor with old computers and cameras was a bit quirky. Just keep in mind the parking area is about 300 meters away, which could be a chilly walk in cold weather.
