- Excellent location, just a few mins walk to City Hall Station. If you don’t want to take public transportation, it’s only round 20 mins walk to Myeong-dong (through underground subway in the station) and to Gyeobgbokgung Palace (it’s just located at the end of the road where the hotel is). - Koreans hotel is one of the drop-off and pick-up stops of the K-limousine, we get to the hotel easily with 2 kids (14 & 11) and 8 suitcases. - We stay in the deluxe family room, 2 double beds, comfortable enough. - There is self laundry service at the 22/F, very convenient. - Plenty of restaurants around. There is also a convenient store just down stairs. - Friendly staff. Gave us good recommendations of where to eat nearby according to our preferences.

Room was very spacious and clean (toilet comes with a bidet!). Although it looked a bit old, but it gives the antique feel and the facilities in the room are very updated. The airport bus 6701 drop-off and pick-up point is conveniently located right in front of the hotel. The hotel is in between City Hall Stn and Gwanghwamun Stn hence very convenient to get to other places. A lot of sightseeing places within walking distance (i.e Cheonggyecheon, Gwanghwamun Palace, Deoksugung Stone Walls). Hotel staff were also fluent in English and were very helpful in answering our queries.

The check-in counter is quite squeezy, can only serve about 2 - 3 guests at a time. May be crowded during holiday seasons, but we came during non-peak season, not many guests were checking in at the same time. The hotel lobby is also lacking of sofa seats. Didn't see any hotel attendant who could help to bring up our luggage. We had to bring up and down our luggage ourselves.

Hotel Koreana is a long standing hotel located in central Seoul. Even though its interiors are aged here and there the rooms are quite well maintained and spacious enough. We could fit three big luggages without any problem and still have enough space to maneuver the room. The AC is working well and adjustable after one’s wish. The view from the rooms is also spectacular - you either look towards city hall or the Deoksogung Palace. Its main advantage is the prime location close to three subway lines (City Hall line 1, 2 and Gwanghwamun line 5) making it extremely easy to get almost anywhere in Seoul < 40 minutes. Additionally, you can easily walk to the central palaces, nearby areas such as Jongak / Jongno / Insa-Dong or take a stroll at Cheonggyecheon. We stayed here the second time and I would always recommend Hotel Koreana for a stay in Seoul.

All bathroom amenities within the older rooms are very low - especially the sink. Even for the average Korean this seems to be outdated. The safe could be a little bigger to fit larger items, e.g. a laptop. There is only one bedside table

Very close to Gyeongbokgung Palace , Gwanghwamun Plaza and Deoksugung Palace. Metro stop is just 400m away and connects you to any other places in Seoul. Direct bus to international airport is just in front of the door.

Nothing. Everything was ok.

The room is nice and spacious. The location is superb, conveniently located near Gwanghwamun and City Hall stations. You can use bus no 6701 to go from/to Incheon airport. Overall I had a pleasant stay there.

Excellent location, many sites to visit in the area and many embassies if you need to run such errands. The hotel is neat and clean, comfortable and very silent for the location. You can be sure you'll have restful time. Staff is very helpful.

Charging guests for early check in. I know this is a thing in South Korea as I've had the same experience in every hotel I've been to, but this is the only country in which I've experienced this. I've stayed in hotels of all sorts, from cheap motels to five stars chain hotels all over the world and never had to pay extra for checking in one or two hours earlier than the stated check in time.

I choose this hotel for its down-town location as I lived in Seoul in the past. The room offered everything we needed as a tourist. Free WiFi worked very well and fast. We did not have breakfast in the hotel as we skipped breakfast because we had big dinners with friends the prior evening. So no opinion on the quality/price of the breakfast. Good insulation so noise from outside.

No bell-captain service to bring our luggage to our room, but we could lend a trolley to bring our luggage to our room ourselves and return the trolley back to the concierge's desk.

Lovely hotel with very friendly and attentive staff. Room was cleaned daily and fresh towels etc. Great location and walking distance to many attractions in the city. Nice and close to subway station, eateries and convenience stores. The rooms have nice big windows for a nice view of the city as well. Loved the complimentary water bottles, very nice touch.

There is nothing that I didn't like. I was extremely happy with the room and service. Everything was nice and clean and fresh.

The location is unbeatable for a short stay in Seoul, with fantastic airport connection: the KAL bus stops literally right outside the front door (the earliest pickup is at 4:30am). It's also quite central to some of the tourist sites. The property is older, but clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good. The bed was comfortable, and there were enough power outlets (which included US style plugs, so no adapter was needed).

The windows could use a good cleaning, but in Seoul's air, that may be a hopeless cause.

The location was great for what we needed to do. Close to metro and an amazing variety of food nearby. The Palace, The Blue House, Insadong and Myeongdong all within walking distance. The room was spacious for our little family of four and the daily supply of water bottles was very much appreciated. It is located in the center of the protest area and as such there were a few happening. Didn't impede us in any way and in fact some of the music was great. The laundry room was a welcomed bonus. Only 2 machines but we managed to get our laundry done. The machine only takes 1000 won notes and we were able to get change at reception. Note, for the detergent you need 2x 500 won coins.

Nothing at all. Was very happy
