• A little farther from the city than expected.

“Excellent hotel which meets and exceeds the needs of the business and/or leisure traveler. I had an excellent breakfast in my room the morning of my departure. An excellent way to start the trip back home. I did find any flaws with this hotel.”

• They meet and exceed my expectations; I¿m well-cared for in a foreign country.
• There seems to have been a strike by housekeeping; trash not emptied, etc.; unpleasant for a day or so.

“The Renaissance Seoul has become my home away from home in Korea. I love the comfortable beds, the careful and thorough service, and the location in the business district, the many amenities available, and the beauty of the lobby. I know the staff is available to answer questions, give directions, meet my needs, and welcome me to their hotel each time I return. I hope to stay there each time I visit Seoul.”

• Good location, near subway
• Internet was too expensive!!

“Good location. Near subway. Nearby restaurants, next to the hotel, behind the hotel have much better service and 1/3 the price. I did like the non-smoking floors. The waiting area had minimum seating. So people just stand around.”

• Very clean and convenient.
• Charge 10,000 won for 30 minutes of internet use. Too high.

“Hotel is situated in the business district but close to the Coex shopping center and many affordable local restaurant. Starbuck is around the corner of the hotel. Coex shopping center is about 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes bus ride. The ride cost 900 won and it is air conditioned. If you prefer to do shopping at Myeong Dong or Nam Dae Myun where prices are less expensive, the taxi cost us 8900 won (no tipping necessary) to get there and cost us 1100 won per person to take the subway back to hotel. Even though we had a short 3 days stay, the experience we had was wonderful.”

• High quality linens and bathrooms.
• Very expensive bar and restaurants.

“This hotel is a good quality four star property. The location is fine for South of the river, but it can be a haul to get to other parts of the city. Staff were gracious and accommodating, and the room was clean, large, and what I would expect in a four star property. The only downside was the very high prices for food in the restaurants. I ordered a starter, salad, and soft drink off the ala carte menu in the cafe, and the total with tax was $50 US.”

“I am quite satisfied with the hotel. It's nice and clean, with everything you would expect from a 4+ star hotel. My only complaint is that they charge 22,000 KRW (about 20$) per day for high speed internet service, which I believe should be free. Maybe that's the same for most hotels in Seoul.”
