Walkerhill is pricey, yet the room furniture was cracked, unpolished, outdated wood that seemed more in place at a lower end hotel like Ramada.

AI speaker controlled most of the room functions, but would not recognize English (thus we spent the night trying to sleep without being able to turn off half the lights in the room). This is a shame since Walkerhill is named for a US soldier in the Korean War, and the hotel has a long previous history of hosting visiting military families and guests from the US.

Additionally, guests can't get reservations at any of the resort's several restaurants. I understand wanting to fill a restaurant, but if you're staying at a resort, but you have to leave to be able to eat dinner, it's a...

Read moreI had an exceptional stay at the Vista Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul. The hotel was impeccably clean, with spacious rooms that provided ample comfort. The cool air conditioning was a refreshing relief, especially during the warmer days. The amenities were top-notch, offering everything one could need for a luxurious stay. The bakery and restaurants on-site were fantastic, providing a delightful array of choices. A highlight of my dining experience was definitely Pizza Hill, where the pizzas were both delicious and perfectly cooked.
The surrounding parks were a wonderful bonus, offering beautiful, serene spaces for a leisurely stroll or morning jog. It added a unique charm to the overall experience, making it feel like a true escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful, ensuring every aspect of my stay was perfect.
