We would highly recommend this hotel. It is located in the Mia-dong area, which is full of restaurants and entertainment venues (a bit touristy though), including many food stands lining some of the (pedestrian) streets at night. The hotel also is adjacent to Lotte Shopping center, for those that interested in shopping. You can also walk to the teleferique that will take you to the Namsan Tower, which offers amazing views of the city. Finally, the hotel is close to one of the metro stations, if you want to explore more of the city.||The guest services of the hotel are impeccable. The rooms are spotless clean and larger than the European ones (ie quite comfortable, but not huge) and if you get one in the high floors, the view is spectacular. Technologically the hotel and the rooms are very advanced, like many other things in Seoul.||Our room price did not include breakfast, but this was not a problem since we discovered an excellent french bakery in Mio-dong, 5 min from the hotel. The bakery had a great variety of pastries (all that we tried were delicious) and good strong espresso and cappuccino. The hotel also has a buffet breakfast for $45/person. It has an amazing variety, including western and korean food. You need to try it at least once!||We would recommend taking a guided tour through the palaces. We took the Small-Group Royal Palace and Seoul City Tour by Seoul N Tour - Day Tours and they were great. If you want to visit other places in the city, we would recommend Uber, which also works with the local taxi drivers.
