Very beautiful and clean hotel. Staff and room service were great. We could hear some noise from the fridge and they replaced it straight away. Hotel is located at very convenient spot and all the touristic places are access by foot or public transport. We’d stay here again if we come back to Korea!
Excellent stay. We didn’t like our initial room and staff was very helpful in getting us another room. And everyday cleaning was done. I have nothing but good things to say about Koreana hotel. Excellent services. 5 stars to staff and management. Definitely coming back to this place.
Perfect location to see around famous spots in Seoul.

Nice hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. The size of the room is good and it’s very clean, however the standard is a worn.
The room was very clean and spacious. The only thing was the room was too hot for us. Housekeeping said we could not use the AC and to just open the windows, and we did. It was about 3°C outside but the room stayed hot throughout the night. We did not get a restful sleep as we got sweaty.
The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of options to choose from and the best kimchi we tasted during our trip. The staff went above and beyond to assist us with transportation needs, and they patiently answered all our questions. The room was clean, and the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner smell really nice. We definitely recommend staying at the Koreana.

Very good location, easy to go to every where. Very friendly staff, clean. Just the facility a little bit old,
Stay was great. Lovely hotel, just need some updating. Had breakfast at the restaurant one morning and it was wonderful. Worth the $30 something per person.
Great location for exploring the palace and hanok villages. Close to subway station and a very walkable area. Spacious rooms although a little dated. You did have to pay to use the sauna which is a little misleading. Breakfast good for the price!
