Room was spacious. Concierge staff were friendly and helpful. Location was convenient with the airport coach right outside the hotel. The only issue for me was that the pillows were too soft.

Great hotel, large rooms, delicious breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.
Stayed for a week in a serviced apartment, which was beautiful, clean and spacious. Many of the staff spoke excellent English, which was very helpful. Food was all lovely, room service food was hot, delicious and well presented, and breakfast was honestly the nicest I’ve had in any hotel. The concierge, Chris was extremely helpful before we arrived, arranging transport and so on, and lovely whilst we were there. Hotel is extremely well located. Arranged a late check out for us without issue. Cannot fault it in any way and will definitely stay again when we return to South Korea.
Didn’t have breakfast but had the buffet which was a little bit expensive but lots to choose from , and had a dinner in the cafe with a lovely pot of earl grey and cake , unfortunately didn’t get to use the pool or gym , very clean and polite staff.
rooms cleaned every day, staff very polite and helpful.

Fantastic Hotel. Everything you would expect from a Grand hotel. The Staff was amazing and very helpful with suggestions of what to see and do in Seoul. Highly recommend.
The best hotel in Gangnam area ! Very luxurious with beautiful antiques decor in the lobby from 19 & 20 centuries. The residential bedroom is spacious, clean and has everything what you need for longer stay like electric stove , refrigerator, freezer, microwave, kettle, coffee maker and The most important washer/dryer machine. Great amenities.
Breakfast buffet is very delicious with a lot of variety of Korean food , eggs, soups, bakery , juices etc.
it’s my first visit to Seoul and I’m happy with my choice!
Wonderful service overall. Hotel staffs were nice, friendly and the room was spacious than other 5 star hotels. Would definitely recommend for someone who wants to stay near gangnam area and wants the luxury hotel experience.
Excellent staff and service. Room was very comfortable with enormous bathroom and comfortable bed. Staff very friendly and helpful. Well located for transport links.
I had such an amazing stay at the Imperial Palace! The staff were genuinely the sweetest I’ve ever encountered, from the reception team to the cleaners. Every interaction made me feel so welcomed and cared for. The rooms were spotless, and the whole experience made me feel like royalty wherever I went. I’d love to stay again on my next visit!
Very nice property and excellent customer service. Restaurant a bit pricey but there are great options around the area. We really enjoyed our stay. Will stay here again
