Loved staying in the residences. It was a perfect 5 night stay to end our three week holiday to Japan and Korea. Large and luxurious and great location. Would definitely stay here again if back in Seou, highly recommend.
Great team providing personalised service and very professional and friendly. Having to book for swimming pool in advance and go at a specific time wasn’t ideal, however they have good facilities; would be great to be able to go to the swimming pool area whenever you find the time. The food and beverages were really good. Great atmosphere.
Staff were friendly and courteous and helped you out even though they didn't speak English very well they still were able to speak enough to guide you to where to go and if they couldn't they would get someone else to help you
We are a family of 4 who spent a week in Seoul, touring the city and its nearby sites. Novotel met all our needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hotel is closed to a subway and a night market around the corner, so it's very convenient to get from one place to another. Breakfast was buffet-style, serving varying Asian/Western options. The soup noodle was my favorite. Thanks Novotel for making our stay in Seoul so enjoyable, will definitely book with you whenever we are back in Seoul.
We loved everything about our stay here! Beautiful hotel, great location. The breakfast buffet was delicious and worth the add on. Thank you to the staff, they were wonderful.
My daughter and I loved our stay in the hotel. Staff were so helpful and both our rooms - residence and standard-were beautiful. Excellent location with subway a minutes walk and right at an airport bus stop. Across road from DDP building and good shops nearby. We intend to stay here again when we visit next year!
Its was a nice hotel and not ran down. The design is good.
Thank you for maintaining the place clean and for the good quality amenities.
The food option are good too.
The staff are nice.
The location is great
This was the third hotel we stayed during our 2 week trip in Korea. We enjoyed here so much that we came back after our trip to Busan to stay for another 3 days. The location was perfect! It was right next to the bus stop and walking distance to the subway. There’s an Olive Young across the street, two convenient stores, and a mall close by. There are plenty of dining options as well. The staff are very warm and friendly They gave us recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. My favorite staff was Hanji who helped check us in and made me want to rebook at Novetel for the end of our trip!
The family room was fantastic. It was the perfect size for a family of four, with plenty of space to relax. The bathroom was equally impressive, and the bath was absolutely huge. Honestly, I couldn't fault either the room or the hotel.
The only slight and I mean slight downside was the location. If it had been a little closer to Myeongdong, it would have been perfect. Travelling on the subway with four people and two large suitcases each isn't ideal for everyone, although, in fairness, I could have taken a taxi and you'll only do that twice.
Me and my partner went to sell South Korea for vacation during the winter time. This hotel wasn’t even our first choice, but this was the best option that Hotels.com could have given us, and it did not disappoint the restaurant in the bar at the hotel offered many selections and they were great. This hotel was walking distance to one of the local market and we enjoyed our trip to the local market. This hotel is highly recommended.
No early check in available but the staff are very accommodating by allowing luggage storage until 3 PM check in, would recommend this hotel as it is very close to most attractions and main subway hub
