The location of the hotel is in big road in city center office towers. Its not really surrounded by restaurants and shops, but they are within walking distance. We visited on winter so the hotel is always warm inside although outside is very cold. The rooms are big and comfortable, we stayed both in premiere and deluxe room and the premiere one is definitely more updated with complete amenities and large bathroom. If they would change the room carpet into hardwood floor I think the overall look will be much better. The staff are friendly although when we asked for late check out wasn't very accommodating perhaps because the hotel was quite busy. The reception area is quite modern with a nice restaurant on second fl although there were lack of seatings. The view of the room was great it was facing the city with namsan tower visible. The location is two blocks away from city hall and gwanghammun subway station and few blocks away from lotte and shinsegae dept store. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the hotel.
