Stayed 2 nights on recent business trip and was thoroughly impressed. Pretty awesome modern decor, trendy bar, lovely big rooms. Only had breakfast there and good range on offer. Only nuisance is that it is not in downtown CBD. The lifts are V cool More

I have been coming to the W-Seoul ever since November of 2007. I've stayed at this immaculate hotel over 70 nights over the past 4 years. I know every little part of the hotel like my own home. I've brought my mom, sister, girlfriend and host of friends over the years during business trips and social trips. I tell you... More

We traveled to Seoul to pick up our son who had been studying there for 4 months. This hotel gave us a good deal on our points, so we chose it instead of the Westin Chosun. In hindsight, we would have picked the Westin as it was closer to the center of Seoul. This hotel was fine, though, as we... More

Hi there Hipster! Thanks for all the positive comments and for pointing out the access to the rest of Seoul with our free shuttle bus and subway. Just on the breakfast buffet, it is KW33,000 ++ person for a full hot buffet. Thanks for taking the time to write a review and hopefully we see you back next time to... More

Stayed at this W last week, and really liked the aesthetic--caveat is that they seem to be trying a bit too hard, and if you're after a more warm, homey vibe, this might not be the place for you. The lobby is large and well-designed (Jenga game in the cocktail area is a nice, quirky touch), the rooms are a... More

This was my first time to Seoul, I stayed here for 5 nights. I never considered where the hotel was in relation to downtown Seoul, and only realized this hotel is not downtown upon arrival. My fault, I could have checked beforehand on the map where it is but I was just assuming most W Hotels are downtown. Anyway, the... More

We arrived at the W at midnight on a thursday night - it is located on the other side of Seoul from the airport so it took us a good 90 min even at that hour! The hotel was bumping - like walking into a Miami club! super fun... but we were there for business and not really up for... More

It was so far from the city central and very inconvenient to go anywhere in the city - you need to take a shuttle bus to the train station or simply take a taxi... But be careful about notorious traffic jam in Seoul. It was a simply mistake, but if you would like to stay somewhere cozy and quiet, this... More

My wife, infant, and I stayed at Walker Hill in October 2011 for 4 nights while visiting family in Seoul. Pros: Service was outstanding, lobby & bar area very well designed and furnished (even by "W" standards - very spacious and great views of river by day and city lights by night), plenty of English capability amongst W staff.

I've stayed in a lot of hotels in Seoul, but W hotel still remains my favorite. The service is very good, and all the more, the hotel is beautiful. The design of the hotel is a piece of art. Every detail is "design" (public restroom, bar, elevators) etc.. The rooms are full of gadgets, and i just loved it. Of... More
