Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Premium price point — Rates from £729 per night reflect a five-star property in the heart of Seoul; value is rated 9.0, but it's a significant investment for a city stay.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animal companions.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may need to make alternative arrangements.
- Some minor room details — A few guests noted issues with bathroom fittings and a missing power point on one side of the bed, so not every room is flawless.
