The hotel was very clean and beautiful. The staff was friendly and greeted us everytime we left and arrived at the hotel. We had the breakfast buffet twice. Although it was pricey, the food was delicious and had plenty of options. The dining options around the hotel qere plentiful as well. Our room had a beautiful view of the Dongdaemun Gate.

The property need upkeeping. Although service was prompt, however, lack of staff at the front desk and also inexperience staff at the restaurant is the weakness. I’ve booked for the most prestige room, however it was not up to expectation. With Moldy smell and towels worn out among few issues during our stay.
