"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Westin Seoul Parnas. I have stayed at quite a few hotels in Seoul and this place had by far the friendliest staff. All of the staff I encountered spoke English very well and were not shy to use it. I very much appreciated that. The rooms were very clean and felt new. We absolutely loved the fitness center. The breakfast buffet was one of the best had. The location is very convenient being within the COEX and walking distance to a bunch of shops and restaurants. We will definitely make this our go-to hotel when visiting Seoul from now on. My only gripe is that we had a room facing the temple next door and there were mornings when the temple would ring this huge bell at 4 am. I called the front desk to inquire how often this would occur, but they said it was random and they couldn't predict it. Next time, I will request a room on the opposite side of the hotel to be as far away as possible from the temple."
