The rooms were comfortable despite some noise, and the service was top-notch. The dining options were good but a bit pricey. Overall, a wonderful experience.

The hotel had a cool atmosphere in the rooms with good lighting, but the lack of enough electric sockets was a minor inconvenience. The service was friendly and helpful overall, although there were instances of staff ignoring the Do Not Disturb sign. The location was the best feature, being close to the airport bus and new duty-free in Insadong. The dining experience was decent, offering a mix of Korean and European food. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel room was spacious and tidy, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay, including laundry facilities. However, the room was too hot as the A/C was switched off, making it difficult to sleep.
