SM Entertainment Communication Center

Wonderful, new professionally managed hotel in prime location. The hotel and room were spotlessly clean, the staff were friendly and the hotel amenities were excellent. The location is exceptional, being central to Seoul and located next to a major train station and huge shopping mall. With trains, 3 subway lines, taxi and buses all a 2 minute walk. This stay will beat most of the 5 star hotels you will find in Seoul.

Pro - location close to trains to airports Cons - bathroom is the worst, no where you can put your toiletries and clean clothes. No divider between shower area and toilet so after shower, you need to come out to the room to dress yourself as the floor is all wet. Tap in vanity is those sensor type, a pain to use when you try to wash your face in the morning as water just stopped as soon as your hands moved away. Not that easy to access restaurants, most close around 8 pm so if yours is late flight it would be hard for you to find something decent to eat. It is the first time I go to Seoul so I chose somewhere close to the train line and it turned out thats the only useful features this hotel offers. Make sure you don't choose their special deal with the Korea pass and duty free vouchers as they are pretty useless "bonus" but you pay more to book this in the first place. Will stay elsewhere next time now I have some idea about Seoul.

They kept our luggage until we cameback from our Busan trip. Love their breakfast
