Royal Hotel Seoul
Room was great. King size bed was comfy but not too much room to move around the actual room. Daily replenishing of water was a nice touch. Breakfast was ample and served on the 21st floor with a beautiful view of the city.

The breakfast was very good. But i thought charge $60 for breakfast was too much. They didnt have the option to order. They also did not offer gluten free items.
