Academy of Korean Studies

Very clean, loved that they would provide water and new toilet paper everyday.

Rooms were a lot bigger then others in Seoul. Beautiful, lots of space, comfy beds. The property was fantastic. No plug ins by the beds though! The breakfast wasn't included and it was pretty expensive but a very extensive buffet.

Great location, just cross the street to get to Myeongdong shopping street and night market. Subway station was also just a 5 min walk away. The Lotte shopping center was also across the street. The collection of stores there were only high end ones like Gucci but it did have a great food court downstairs. Btw, you can get to the food court by taking the underground shopping stairs right outside the hotel which enters directly into the food court. It was also great having a self serve laundry in the hotel although there were just 2 washers and 2 dryers which filled up a lot. The machines took only credit cards so no need to hassle with coins plus there's a machine to purchase laundry detergent and bounce dryer sheets as well also via credit card. We had a triple room and the strange thing is there was no drawers to store clothes so we had to use our suit case and the shelf in the closet. Individual bottles of water were also provided each day for free. To get to the hotel we used the airport K-limo bus which has a stop at the Westin across the street but if there are 3 or more of you take a taxi has it costs about the same or cheaper.
