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. However, the use of the heated outdoor pool was chargeable. The hotel is not as new and modern as expected, but it's still a good choice, especially with duty-free shopping nearby.

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.
