The Westin Josun Seoul
Location and amenities at the property are excellent. We had a suite and it was very roomy. Bed was a little soft but that is a personal preference and after the first night we didn't notice. Bathroom is older than some newer hotels. Overall a great stay; loved the staff and the location.
