elegant stay

spacious room convenient location chinese restaurant
the room was spacious and clean french tapestry lamps and paintings decorated it beautifully. the bathroom included two sinks a separate shower and a toilet with a bidet. the hotel is conveniently located near namdaemun market and hoehyeon subway and buses. there are also french and chinese restaurants within the hotel.
i noticed the absence of a dedicated concierge service which i found slightly inconvenient when i needed assistance with travel arrangements. there was also no porter help available upon departure. the expectation to pay for basic amenities felt out of sync with the overall luxury experience.

the staff greeted guests with smiles even past midnight offering an upgrade due to availability. i observed attentiveness and politeness in staff interactions throughout my stay. the team seemed well-trained and responsive to requests.

It ranged from delicious french toast and omelets prepared by a chef, to dumplings, salmon, and korean food. the afternoon snacks included a nice selection of cheeses and a variety of salads.

The location was superb, placing me steps from a subway station. this made exploring very easy. i found the staff attentive. They stored my luggage after checkout, a big help. the bed, especially, was very comfortable (i slept like a log).
the absence of tea in the room was inconvenient. i only found coffee available. i expect more variety in a hotel of this standard.

MYSTERIOUSLY charming

detail oriented housekeeping attentive front desk above beyond kindness taxi driver
this PLACE was really nice! all the details are fine. THE staff was great. housekeeping is detail oriented. the front desk people are attentive. daniel park in reception was helpful when I left my phone in a taxi. he used his phone to call the taxi driver to translate and help arrange matters for me. IT seemed like above and beyond kindness.
rooms WERE too dark. it is necessary better lighting. ventilation IS poor. i smelt smoke. i suspect the bar on the top floor made smoke travel to rooms. this is not very good for people who are sensitive to cigarette smoke.
