"We had a great stay with some..."
We had a great stay with some exceptions. We were able to check in early-8am but there was a dirty bathrobe in the bathroom. We didn't receive housekeeping one day until after 5pm, when it wasn't convenient for us. The staff was very helpful but didn't offer anything but taxis for transportation. The omlette man in the breakfast lounge was my favorite! What a great option. The room was light and airy; well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen including a rice cooker! The roof garden was an unexpected surprise. And the coolest thing was a machine that both washed and dried the clothes!

"We booked two rooms at this hotel..."
We booked two rooms at this hotel through Asia Rooms for my wife and I and our two teenage sons. Rooms were spacious and well decorated, reception spoke good English and were very helpful. Only
5 minutes walk to subway and Insadong market one way and 5 minutes to the palace the other. Seoul is an excellent city to visit and this hotel and excellent base to see it from.

I was very pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and it was excellent value for money and exactly where I wanted to be in the art and antique section of the city. Breakfasts were buffet
style with plenty of fresh fruit and cooked dishes....Western style. The only draw back was it was quite a long way from the hotel shuttle services from the airport. A taxi cost approximately $75 and a shuttle bus about $12.

"My room was clean, comfortable, well appointed,..."
My room was clean, comfortable, well appointed, nicely decorated and even offered a pleasant view. The location was a perfect base for my brief 3 days of vacation touring. The fitness center offered a good
mix of machines; I never had to wait at the business center and the breakfast was a very abundant spread of Western and Korean options, hot and cold. Topping all of this off was a particularly delightful, professional and caring staff. The experience was so positive that I will seek out other Ascott brand hotels in future travels.

despite the great location and facilities, the Somerset lacked in service. For example, the bell boys didn't come out to the curbside to get our luggage. also, when i returned to the hotel ladden with
bags, no one offered to get hte door for me. finally, the receptionist were a bit rude.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We liked the location--it's centrally located, but it's quiet. It is near all sorts of museums, galleries, bookstores, banks, and government offices.
