Koreana Hotel Seoul Guest Reviews

4.2 out of 5

The Koreana is in the middle of the action! It's also on the airline limousine route. Hop on, hop off bus nearby - shops and restaurants also. Our room on the executive floor was fine, with all the amenities expected (the free LAN internet connection didn't work). Hotel staff very welcoming and helpful. Restaurant was OK, without being exceptional. Overall, a good honest, reliable hotel.

Location is very good for both business and leisure. Though the price is a bit steep and should provide complimentary breakfast. Many nearby eateries available at reasonable prices. Our visit happens to coincide with the lantern festival display which is very near to the hotel. The availability of the KAL bus from and to airport is another plus point for selecting this hotel.

Excellent/central location for airport transfers (Airport Limosine-the public bus to Seoul and the KAL 1 Bus), the Seoul City Tour Bus easy walking distance for Deoksugung Palace (ie Changing of Guards) and Lotte Hotel for booking Panmunjom/DMZ tours.

I stayed at the Koreana Hotel in Seoul and it was fantastic. Close to all the tourist attractions and the train station. Staff were very helpful and made the stay pleasant. When I arrived early there were no rooms available but they could see I was very tired and they went out of their way to get me a room. When my computer did not work with the internet connection they gave me complementary use of the business centre. I would definitely use this hotel again and recommend it to friends.

My wife and I stayed twice at the Koreana within a 10 day period. The first time the room cleanliness was excellent. The second time the rug was unvacuumed. There was dirt on the floor and numerous sharp paper staples which represented a substantial hazard to one's feet. But we'd stay again with no hesitation.
