Frommer's "Overlooking the Han River and nestled in hills surrounded by woodlands, this hotel feels very far away from the commotion and excitement of Seoul." Full review
Rough Guide "With scented, plush-carpeted corridors and muted-tone rooms, it’s not as showy as the W next door, and the views are rarely as good, but it’s immaculately designed nonetheless."
Star Service "Located in northeastern Seoul on a historic site from the Shilla Dynasty (57 BC-AD 668), this 17-story hotel offers great views and fresh air." Full review

Operators speak English well enough to accommodate most requests, and service is reasonably speedy considering the large area staff must cover.
Time Out "Situated in the peaks of Achasan Mountain, the hotel is nestled inside a beautiful, lush forest" Full review

Pamper yourself in the spa, dance the night away at popular club JJ Mahoney’s or swim in the excellent outdoor pool which, come winter, is turned into an ice rink.
Rough Guide "Perched on a hill overlooking Itaewon, almost every room has a fantastic view through floor-to-ceiling windows."
Michelin Guide "A classic among the large Seoul hotels. The renovated rooms are preferable, as they are more stylish.The only downside is that it is a long way from any subway station."
Star Service "This reliable hotel occupies a towering position overlooking the city and the Han River on 18 acres atop Mount Namsan." Full review

With a dozen restaurants to choose from, no guest will go hungry here.
