"Unbelievably wonderful, polite, respectful and professional team right from the start of our stay till the last moment. Truly appreciated the warm welcome by Sophie and reception (really kind and professional individual). Also the early check in was really helpful and we really appreciated it, around our plans on the day. The level and quality of the facilities were exquisite; particularly the swimming pool and sauna facilities. The gentleman at the restaurant on the 2nd floor by the name of Justin was so professional and friendly. Equally the gentleman at the front door by the name of David, kindly helped us with every single one of our luggage and put them inside the taxi. We really were treated like VIP. Thanks a million to each and every individual for making our stay truly exceptional; we sure will come back again in the future. I’d highly recommend this hotel to whoever is visiting Seoul."

8/10 Good
"The hanok stay was very clean, and the contactless check-in and reception were run efficiently, so there was no inconvenience at all. Amenities were available in the lounge, where you could simply take what you needed, making it easy to relax quietly without running into anyone. Milk, cereal, and water were generously provided, and although I would have appreciated a bit more bread in the morning, it was fine overall. The only drawback was that the space felt too narrow. Traditionally, hanok houses are designed with open doors on all sides, allowing air to flow freely and creating a spacious atmosphere. Here, however, it was only hanok in appearance, with the cramped layout. Other than that, it was a nice stay!"
