Top Gwanghwamun Hotel Reviews

The Westin Josun Seoul

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent
"True luxury and premium hotel. Location is in central Seoul, right by City Hall and City Hall Station. Property is stylish, with a large entrance and lobby area, and the Bar and Lounge. Staff are, to a person, excellent; friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room I booked, on the 19th floor was an executive king, came with Westin Club lounge access. Room is very well designed, a comfortable size with all the modern amenities, including super fast internet access and a 65” TV. The bed is very comfortable, as expected from Westin. I ate in the club lounge, which offers daily Western and Asian options for breakfast and light dinner. I also ate at the Bar and Lounge and their Italian restaurant Rubrica, which was excellent both in food and service. Highly recommended hotel."
