For a International group like Hilton this Grand Hilton Seoul didn't quite match up with other sisters Hilton... Yes facilities & service are up to par but tend to overlook same things... 1st the so International breakfast buffet was a let down for a hotel chain.You get same selection daily & very limited varieties...come on 3 types of eggs varieties provided,no scramble,no omelette for Hilton,coffee was blend too watery,bacon was over fried,vegetables too oily,salmon was about hard...the Gm should try for himself & see. Other International hotels chef can cook better. Yes tea & coffee provided in rooms but no sugar....Tooth brush not provided your toiletries need to relook again for a name like Hilton. Yes hourly transport is provided by hotel to popular stops. Kudos to all the courteous & very helpful staff two thumbs up! Wi-Fi is provided but there is no auto connect once you step out of room then reconnect again when you step back again even if you go to the coffee house...
On the other side hotel location was good with many conveniences & eating places with walking distance. Bus from airport to Hilton bout 45mins at 14,000won,by cab bout 60,000won. Taking a walk to shopping belt bout 15mins your can find Burger King,McDonald'sSubway & all the popular Korean eateries. Have a wet & fruits market there,very nice tasty local fruits Lots of street vendors there...do help those old ladies there,they stand almost the whole day peddling their fruits,loca various nuts,sweets etc...if you can tell them to keep the change their smile is worth more... The under ground or subway is located just there... Next time I tell my business partners & friend to givee try the Millennium Seoul to see the difference who knows I may come back bcos of the...
Read moreVery nice rooms, calming colors in beige, brown and green. I prefer a bit old-fashioned interior style (i don't mean the furniture is shabby, just the style more conservative), so this is my taste to relax after a stressful workday. They have more modern, renovated rooms, one of which they gave me for a previous stay, but i prefer the older ones: The shower without curtain might be better for hygiene, but afterwards, all bathroom floor under water. Same with those modern, square wash stands, everything gets wet after washing your face. Room spacious enough to feel comfortable. What i specially like is that the window opens, so one can sleep with fresh air if desired. Smoking and non smoking rooms available. The stuff is very quiet while cleaning, no big noise on the floors. The bathroom not very big, but functional. Water kettle, filled mini fridge, many snacks, some tea/instant coffee and extra toiletry articles provided (good quality razor etc, against payment). Ironing board/iron in the closet. Very comfortable king size bed, clean bed linen and towels. If i look for something to critisize, it might be that it is quite cool in the bathroom, due to the air drain placed directly above the shower. Also, too many tv channels only in Korean, international entertainment channels like HBO etc missing. The stuff throughout the hotel is absolutely friendly, quiet and professional. Food is very tasteful, even if a bit expensive, compared to northern European hotels. If you apply to become a Hilton honours member, internet access is free during your stay in Hilton hotels worldwide. Within 3 minutes, you walk down the hill to find shops, pharmacy, restaurants, family mart 24/7 open, etc. A good...
Read more!!READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING!! Don't get me wrong the ADVERTISED hotel rooms are beautiful. HOWEVER, the suits are falsely advertised as the singles suits. I wouldn't even call this the same hotel. They sold us a false dream. Absolutely disgusting I would never recommend this for anyone, even those I hate. These people are scammers. We booked through chase, on its travel website it was completely willfully miss advertised. Online it was said to have free wifi, a safe, and clean accommodations. Coming in it looks like something in a history book. Appliance's look like they haven’t t left the 1960's, our kitchen counter top is quite literally breaking into small splinters. The floors where the washer and dryers are lifting from what I can guess is water leakage/damage. I do not even want to think about what is underneath those floors. An absolute biohazard. Save your money DO NOT COME HERE! It is not a 5 star hotel I would compare it to be worse than a motel 6 in America. Our doors and door knobs are broken. Only pro I can say is its location, as it is close to the subway and bus station along with the...
