    - They control the AC in the room instead of the occupants, which is the very first time I have ever seen that happening. After 00:00 they turn the cooling off and we had to spend the nights of our stay waking up sweating. - The beds were not very comfortable and very firm which gave my partner back pain for the most part of our trip.

    It was in a perfect location, close to all the major attractions, great food and clubs.

    Breakfast. Although there were set menus to choose from, I would have preferred a buffet as it means there is less waste and more choices available.

    Location was good and close to lots of restaurants but a bit far from the main palaces etc. Hotel was comfortable with very friendly and helpful staff. Loved the quirky touches in the decor and furniture.

    A bit style over function. Lots of mirrors so saw a bit too much of myself! And no light switch in or outside the bathroom just a switch by the beds which made no sense.

    Good location in Itaewon where there are lots of places to eat and drink and near the metro station to get to the sights and other areas. Quite a big room and a great view of the city. Beds very comfortable especially compared to some we had in Japan!

    No laundry room but wasn't a huge problem.

    The best thing about this hotel is the location . It's perfect for going out to the many bars sbd restaurants in Itaewon and close to the metro to get around Seoul. It's also close to the very fashionable Hannam dong with lots of boutique shops and restaurants. . The staff are really helpful and friendly . It was the third time I've stayed there as great value for money is Seoul .

    Bathroom was separated from the room with glass/frosted glass and curtain in a twin room - needed more privacy. No option to not have towels replaced daily (if there was, this wasn't clear).

    Good gym facilities and excellent location. Room was clean and comfortable. Price was good as we got a deal; we would have looked elsewhere if it was full price. Saw a few reviews on the noise, but we were 9th floor and had no issues.

    There is not enough exhaust in the toilet, so at some point, it will be stuffy especially when you are using hot water. Please add an exhaust fan on top with ample suction. The toilet walls are made of glass, so when you prefer sleeping without lights, and someone goes the toilet, it brightens the whole room.

    The room is quite spacious, as it is winter time, the heater works nicely and they have a separate air purifier which is very good. There is a closed pocket balcony which has amazing view of lotte tower and the streets of Itaewon which is so nice to look. The toilet seat is automatic with a heater and has a built-in bidet. The bath tub is nice as you can relax after a long day of walking in Seoul. They have a full height mirror which is nice to check your OOTD before going out. the place is nearby Itaewon station and nearby halal food. some food establishments are 24hrs so it is very good location. We will book again in this hotel when we visit Seoul.
