Great newly renovated hotel. Staff is excellent. What we loved most was how we didn’t hear other guests in the next room. Would have loved to have a better shower door that was easier to close and perhaps a shelf for my own toiletries in the shower. Breakfast was ok, we were there 3 days and there’s almost zero variety of food items. The scrambled eggs seemed a little runny too.

The air conditioning barely kept my room cool. I’ve stayed at the Ibis Myeongdong, Ibis Styles Myeongdong, and Ibis Busan City Centre. They all have better aircon. Otherwise, my stay was great!

Employees are helpful. The room temperature was 24.5 degree while sleeping and had to call feont desk in the middle of the night. A bed was not comfortable due to middle of the bed was sinking. The room is super small so no space to put luggages and bathroom is tiny.

What a great oasis to center yourself while visiting Seoul! Can't wait to stay here again! Staff were extremely accommodating and helpful - cannot stress this enough. Especially compared to other places I've stayed in Korea that were more expensive. Thank you for making our stay with my elderly mother that much more comfortable and meaningful.

Bad experience!!!

We booked for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 17 and 11), we gave ages during booking but when we got to the hotel our room was for 3 people. 3 pillow, 1 twin and 1 double bed, 3 towels, 3 pairs of slippers. When we went to investigate we were told the room was for 3 people and I showed her the reservation but she refused to help. We were stuck! They offered for us to pay for another room but we already paid for this room. We needed the business center, we confirmed it was there and when we went to use it the keyboard didn’t work. When we went back to reception she said keyboard is broken but everything else works. How do you use a computer without a keyboard? All and all we were really frustrated. As a family of 4 that travels a lot we will NOT be back.
