Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Very spacious room with some designer touches. The staff was able to provide everything we needed upon request (such as a US plug adaptor). There are several eateries on the premises and room service, but we not try any of these. Only downside is I expected a smart TV with how modern it is. It’s not very tourist friendly without a provided way to stream, either via casting from mobile or direct on TV.
I enjoyed the large room size and it stayed quiet. But for transportation, I had to ride the bus or taxi to the closest subway station.

Disliked: Amenities
There is no downtown area close enough to walk around the hotel.and there is no restaurants close walk around hotel .It's an old hotel, so the bathtub and other things are old.
I stay in this hotel for a business schedule. I'm not sure the location of this hotel is convenient to public transport or not. But it can very quickly to access to highway for 2 airports in Seoul. The BBQ restaurants near hotel (5 minutes by walk) is surprisingly good. Therebus a CU convenient store inside hotel open 24 hours. The hotel provides Korean dishes, that's delicious~

Liked: Staff & service
I stayed in both the hotel and the suites. The good - good breakfast selection, the hotel was very clean and well maintained though a bit dated in parts and very quiet in common areas with the main floor bar unfortunately closed. It is quite a great building but out from main shopping areas. Staff very helpful. The apartment suites very, very dated and dirty surrounds eg weeds growing on balcony, bathroom and decor dated, pillows need replacing and supplies limited - no dishwashing liquid or tea towel provided. Bath towels in the apartment were the size of large tea towels- seriously!! On the plus early check in and washer dryer excellent - we shifted to the suites for one night to spread out and do our laundry before continuing our travel. Glad it wasn’t more than a night. TVs in both facilities were not smart TVs making it difficult for foreign speaking channel selections. Convenient for airport if coming by car.
The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and spoke English well. I wish some more of the amenities were open, but I still really enjoyed my time there.
There isn't really anything 'Swiss' or 'Grand' about this place. The rooms are spacious, but very tired. The lobby is almost always deserted (and it appears like most of the bars etc are closed). It is a long way from anything - and feels like it is in the middle of nowhere
