World class
Super happy with the stay- better than any 5 star hotels in Seoul. Spacious room, tucked in from the hustle and bustle of the town, beautiful view to the temple, no nonsense, no frills. Decent and elegant in style. I would definitely go back. If the plastic bottled water and plastic packaged tiny amenities can be ditched with communal water dispensers and large multi-use containers, Somerset Palace would make it truly world-class in every sense!

Immaculate Hotel close to Palace.
My stay was from Friday to Sunday. The property was well kept and in prime location of all the historical sites and museums I wanted to see. On arrival I was greeted with warm welcomes. There was a little miscommunication in regards to having a ID number to track for COVID purposes but it worked out. The room was perfect. I had a great View of the Palace and it was within walking distance of all the sites I wanted to see. Over the stay was amazing. I wish I took advantage of the breakfast but unfortunately I woke up late bother days.
