The Westin Josun Seoul

This is my new favourite hotel, based mainly on the impeccable service. The hotel style is classic and timeless, so to me it did not feel dated. The staff went above and beyond accommodating every request with a smile, including adding an extra bed for a couple of nights and some complimentary spa access. We really like the lobby bar/lounge but it’s as expensive as you would expect (some good deals on whisky while we were there). We stayed a total of 9 nights with a short trip to Japan in between. It’s hard to imagine staying elsewhere when we visit Seoul in the future. The location is very central and excellent and you can walk or take the subway readily. We did find traffic in the area (and Seoul in general) to be extremely busy. We did not eat any meals, but the spa and pool and gym are first rate. We leave tomorrow morning and we will miss the place and especially the wonderful staff!

Great location right by Myeongdong so you can get your shopping on! The rooms are slightly dated but they are still lovely. The service is top-notch, and I appreciate the lounge for tea throughout the day. The gym is great and had everything I needed. I enjoyed being able to order room-service from my phone/tv and took advantage of some of the takeout promotions for guests in the hotel. I had the uni carbonara from Rubrica (amazing!) and some fried chicken and beer in my room. The housekeeping staff did a fantastic job of making sure I always had slippers and a tidy room. I'd happily stay here again.

Honestly the best service ever. Better than other hotels known for this like the Waldorf Astoria or 4 season. Staff was extremely helpful and polite. Attention to detail was always there. I went outside and came back to see room service left a glsss by a drink I was enjoying. Little things like that. The hotel didn’t go over to the annoying side some hotels do with service always bothering you and asking you if you need anything. They anticipated and someone was always available to help. Location is great if you’re a tourist too. Rooms were clean and nice quality. Not trying to do too much. A refined luxury experience for those that know and appreciate that.
