Great experience here! We reached Seoul quite early and the bespectacled gentleman at the desk (sorry I didn't catch his name) found us a room to check into so we can take a much needed rest. We were also able to check out late which was perfect as we had a late flight out of Seoul. Great location, decent size room (I reserved a larger room) and quiet despite being next to a busy road.

From October 5th to 9th, room cleaning was meticulous and thorough every day, understanding my preferences and providing extra bathrobes.||I would also like to give a special thank you to Ms. Joy at the front desk.  …

Exceptionally clean, incredibly well located about 5 min from Myeongdong, plenty of restaurant, street food and market. Service personalised and welcoming from Aloft team.||WXYZ bar is a little lacklustre, lacks environment that is a cool and trendy bar. However service and quality of drinks was excellent but only stayed for one round.

Very happy with the hotel!Coming from a hotel where the front desk staff did not smile.. It was so nice to be welcomed by the team at Aloft.We had booked 2 breezy suites and the manager had noticed and given us the option of having 1 suite and 2 standards rooms on the same floor. He took the time to show us the rooms and give us the Option. All the rooms were good, but we decided to stick to the suite!The desk are very helpful - even helping us with dinner reservations.Very happy with the location. Short walk to Namdaemun Market and just around the corner from all the Myeongdong activities!
