"Unbelievably wonderful, polite, respectful and professional team right from the start of our stay till the last moment. Truly appreciated the warm welcome by Sophie and reception (really kind and professional individual). Also the early check in was really helpful and we really appreciated it, around our plans on the day. The level and quality of the facilities were exquisite; particularly the swimming pool and sauna facilities. The gentleman at the restaurant on the 2nd floor by the name of Justin was so professional and friendly. Equally the gentleman at the front door by the name of David, kindly helped us with every single one of our luggage and put them inside the taxi. We really were treated like VIP. Thanks a million to each and every individual for making our stay truly exceptional; we sure will come back again in the future. I’d highly recommend this hotel to whoever is visiting Seoul."
