Visited during a 30% off buffet sale event. This hotel has reopened after being closed for 3 years, and overall I am very satisfied.

It was an old yet luxurious hotel!We charge 10,000 won for valet parking.I didn't bring the charger, so I tried to rent it, but they said they only sold it, so I bought it for 10,000 won.I was a bit disappointed with the small service aspects.The room was clean and big, which was nice :)If you order food, you have to go downstairs!Even though it was just for one day, I thoroughly enjoyed my staycation!

Hotel is nice and newly renovated. Beds, pillows and blankets are very comfortable. Location is good. Concierge was amazing, but check was not very pleasant. No warm greeting, just check in and take the keys. They also expected us to take our own luggage until I requested otherwise. There is no water in the room, you need to request for it in the lobby because if you do it via the room you need to pay for the water. Bring your own toothbrush because as usual, they're chargeable here in Seoul. There's a safe in the room but the battery was flat. We requested for a change and though it was changed, it was again, not working. We also requested for new towels, but by the time the new towels came, we already finished our showers. There's a hair dryer that is pretty good but the power socket keeps disconnecting. There are however, international adaptors integrated into the design so that was thoughtful. Rooms are very large and spacious but the carpet smells like cigarettes. Wouldn't classify this place as a 5 star hotel.

Renovated while preserving the good old classic atmosphere. The service was also good! I stayed for several nights, and the location was good, and the room was thoroughly cleaned every day.

There were a lot of problems with the room. I can't sleep due to the noise from the air conditioner. They say the residence has been fully renovated, so I don't know, but the regular rooms have hardly been renovated. After the reception, I thought I would sleep as I was far from home, but I just called the assistant manager and left a review on the way home. I went to use the toilet and the hot water didn't come out, so I complained, and they said they upgraded and changed the room, but they just changed the floor, the room was the same old, and the air conditioner noise was the same. (Are you kidding me?) I was so unsatisfied that I didn't revisit. They say it has reopened, but it's a shame.
