This hotel was fantastic for our family trip to Seoul! The location is perfect - peaceful and residential, yet just steps from Gyeongbokgung Palace and a short walk to the shops of Insadong. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. The room, while a bit dated, was clean, spacious, and perfect for our needs. The breakfast buffet was a bonus.

We picked the Somerset because we had 4 days before joining a cruise. Within a short distance of the Hotel there is history - Palaces, Religious buildings, Restaurants (both local and international cuisine) and a great shopping choice. The Hotel has well appointed rooms. But the stars were the staff who were attentive and helpfull particularly the staff on reception who made our visit special with their help with giving us directions, places to eat Korean food. So thanks for making our visit special.
