10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Amid Hotel Seoul. The location is outstanding, within walking distance of many of Seoul's most important historical attractions, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. We were also impressed by the exceptional cleanliness throughout the hotel. Our room and all the common areas were spotless every day. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul."
