"It’s very well positioned. It’s undeniable. However, I found some inconsistencies with the daily cleaning process (sometimes the bathroom was properly clean, sometimes it wasn’t), But it’s a good hotel, and food can be accessed within the area also. I liked the cafe below."

8/10 Good
"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"

"This was a great place to stay for our first time visiting Seoul. The host Pony was very responsive and communicated with us through WhatsApp. They were able to help us in booking a pick up from the airport, which was well worth it as this was our first time visiting the city. The apartment was well furnished and had all the amenities we needed over the week that we stayed. A case of water was provided each time that the apartment was cleaned and having a washer was a major plus. The apartment is next to a supermarket and many restaurants across the street. Line 1 and 2 of the metro are accessible with a 10 to 15 minute walk. My family and I really enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again."
