Seoul Apartments

It's a bit of a walk from Hongdae Station, but with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores along the way, the walk is enjoyable. The staff were very friendly, and everything was comfortable, though the room with two beds was a bit small. I had a great stay and would book here again if I visit Korea.

If taking subway you can head to exit 10 of jamsil station and you can go through the lotte world mall before street level, head straight, take the escalator next to the aquarium up, exit the main doors and cross the road to the left for the hotel. (It it not sheltered/ connected directly between the mall/ station and hotel). We took the side entrance lift up to the reception but if you go further down you’ll see the main car drop off and concierge. The staff service was really friendly, although at the check in reception we were given a list of rules and asked if we had any questions, so the hotel vibe felt quite formal and stiff. Was concerned about the rules on the swimming pool booking and bringing outside food in, but the staff around were kind and welcoming so we soon felt at ease. Was able to rent the required swim cap free of charge. Room was classy, spacious and bed and bath comfortable. We booked the lake view room but one can only see it at the side when nearer to the windows. We had indicated we were celebrating our wedding anniversary but there were no special greetings in the room or wishes at reception, which normally hotels would as part of their hospitality. The lake view from breakfast and the pool was beautiful! Heard it would be even more beautiful in spring! We enjoyed walking around the lake and exploring the restaurants on the other side. Great shopping location next to the lotte mall The swimming pool is small with one lane for laps and others for relaxing. There’s a heated jacuzzi outside and within the beautiful changing area was also has a hot bath and another neat amenities. The gym was huge and had so many machines! All in all a great and beautiful stay! Wish we stayed longer than one night! The only con is that you have the transfer lifts at the reception level each time you go out or in so you’ll just have to meet and greet a lot of people along the way.

We had a great stay at voco. The location is perfect, walkable to so much. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very helpful. We had a 6-month-old with us and the crib was very nice and the restaurant staff at breakfast were very attentive to our son. We are excited to go back and stay here again!

The pictures of the room is quite true to other reviews and the hotel page itself. Quite comfortable and spacious. The only thing is the toilet is a bit dirty near the drainage. And maybe is the cold season near the end of autumn, start of winter period, the aircon would be on for a while and off for a while. Is a setting that can’t be changed. Maybe is to save electricity. There is guest laundry at lv 10, just abit on the expensive side. 1 time wash and dry cost 10,000 won in total. The service there is rlly friendly. Just take note no toothbrush provided. Have to donate to get a toothbrush. The location is great. The building next to the hotel has an olive young and opp olive young is a convenience store. Near the hotel also have a few malls. Just need to cross the road or go via underpass. It is close to myeongdong night market too.

They allowed us to check in early for free in friendly way. It didn’t take time for check in too. Staff at reception area and luggage drops were very efficient . Breakfast was ok level but more than what I paid. Location was excellent!

Overall the stay was very good with few minor details that could use improvement. 1. The hotel common areas had a very strong perfume smell - but this seemed typical in Korea? Not my thing. 2. The light turns on automatically in front of the room door, so if you got up to use the bathroom at night, it would turn on. I didn’t like that. I like to get up as dark as possible at night. 3. When we bought wine to in the bar to bring to our room, it could only come in plastic cups. We are not teenagers, we are adults who can take care of a glass of wine without breaking it - felt it was patronising and no do not want to drink wine from a plastic cup. And we didn’t want to drink it in the bar because of the perfume smell. 4. We came to the breakfast at 6:30 since we were in a hurry to go to the airport - and the staff was so slow, it took 6 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was almost empty. They couldn’t find our room number on a paper list that looked very unorganised. 5. Would prefer bigger towels at the pool

Good location, and there are many restaurants nearby. There is a shuttle bus stop of Incheon airport in front of the hotel. It's very handy that there is a washing machine/dryer in the room. However, it is a pain in the **** that you have to book to use the pool, and you can only book once a day per room. A couple won't always go swimming at the same time. There are only two lifts in the hotel room tower. You have to be patient. The perfume in the lobby was a bit pungent.

The location of the hotel is very convenient especially with the Yongsan station being right next to it. You can easily get around Seoul or just spend your time in Yongsan with shopping and going to cafes and restaurants. The room is nice and spacious, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Also you have really nice views from the rooms, either looking at Yeouido or Namsan.

So, I went back and forth between a four and five. We stayed for four nights in a Signiel Premier Double room mainly to have access to the executive lounge which in other high-end hotels is generally pretty spectacular. Here, it's pretty useless consisting of mostly cookies and crackers for both morning and evening services. That being said, you stay here for the novelty of it and for the view. The view lived up to its billing and the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Outside of the thirty minute plus check in, the service was exceptional and friendly which bumped it to a five. I'm not sure why the Executive Lounge is so terrible. Seems nonsensical and I must be missing something. As far as I can tell, there are no rooms that come with breakfast. And breakfast is about $55 per person. If you just want a latte, that's about $19 US. Maybe that's why and they want you to pay up. Lastly, from a tourist's perspective, the location is away from everything and away from where the group tours start and you'll need to take a train to city hall. Just an inconvenience, but for the money, unless you really want to say you stayed there, there are probably better hotels with better amenities in better locations.

Upon completing the third stay at Naru hotel, the services and hospitality provided were positively unwavering. Noticeably the staff were continuously welcoming and attentive for making a memorable stay. As the views provided are truly satisfactory enough, the services go beyond expectations. One must experience the services and facilities provided at Naru Hotel. The Lounge & Deck, Restaurant Voisin, and Mapo Eight are a must try and will not disappoint. Lastly the bedroom and bathroom provided are much more spacious than other hotels in Seoul which make for a comfortable stay.
