We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and the location was simply unbeatable. Right outside the front door are the bustling shopping streets of Myeongdong, and by night, the area truly comes to life. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to experience the lounge on the top floor this time, but it's definitely on our list for our next visit. The gym was well-equipped and a pleasure to use. One standout moment during our stay was when we were about to miss our KTX train, and no taxis were available. Three employees—MK Choy, St Lee, and Iw Hwang—went above and beyond to assist us. Their dedication was incredible, and the Operations Manager even drove half of our party to Seoul Station on his way home from work. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and exceptional service. These individuals deserve high praise, and I look forward to returning to this wonderful hotel!

It was an unpleasant experience. I was given a key card by a female staff member with a different room number than what I had signed for on the check-in form. When I inquired about the discrepancy, a male staff member, LEE KI HO, suddenly appeared behind her, began yelling at me, and falsely accused me of insulting her. He caused a scene for no valid reason. This behavior is completely unacceptable and highly inappropriate. Both staff members should be dismissed for their unprofessional conduct and possible attempts to cover up their shady practices.
