Most of the amenities in the room are available.(It was difficult to understand how many amenities there were when I looked at the website, so...)There was even body cream and mouthwash.Room wear was a short bathrobe (smooth fabric on the outside and towel lining).There was a transformer for Japan.The response was in English.It was nice to have 2 rooms side by side,When I asked for a view of Dongdaemun, they changed my room and the view gave me a Korean feel.The explanation was thorough and I was able to check in with peace of mind.The location was great and it was close to the subway so it was easy to get around.It seems that the refrigerator did not cool down,I couldn't drink hot water, so I always asked for ice. Even when I asked them to tell me where the ice maker was, they were kind enough to bring it to my room every time.

The king executive suite was pretty amazing. The best part of the room is the 1.5 bathroom. Especially coming from NYC we have this at our apartment. The staffs are all amazing and very helpful. One of the best breakfast buffet spreads! The public transportation is literally outside of the hotel. 5mins walking to DDP.

Outstanding hotel with service to match. The lounge had excellent food and drink selection and one of the better exec lounges I have visited. Breakfast in main restaurant also very good with a very wide range of good options.The only slight negative was some level of road noise came through.

The hotel room is not big, but the decoration is great. It has a washlet and a capsule coffee machine. The sound insulation of the room is good. The only drawback is that there is only one sink. The breakfast is rich, and there are freshly grilled barbecues. The hotel is directly connected to the subway station, making transportation convenient.
