The hotel is nestled on a small hill in Seoul overlooking lush greens and offering a nice view, embodying the positive sides of Korea with its well-organized and polite service.

The rooms are spacious and feature all the amenities a traveler could want, including tech cords and a sophisticated toilet. The service was exceptional, with housekeepers and staff on the executive level being the best I've ever experienced. On the downside, there was a rude reception man that left a negative impression.
