Rooms are big Bathrooms on the small side Great location near many tourist attractions across the street Insadong shopping and restaurants also subway station easy to use their metro system Use the subway to get anywhere Taxis are cheap but traffic is horrendous! kitchen and washer facilities more

Location is quite good being a short walk from Gyeongbokgung or Insadong. Nice serene garden in the back as well. Studio room is cozy, with a lot of furniture stuffed inside a relatively small room. Bathroom was a bit too small while kitchen utensils show their age. Free net was a big plus though and the rooftop terrace with jacuzzi... more

I've stayed here a few times now. I wrote a very nice review for this place my last visit but this one I must be more realistic with fellow travelers. While you read this please have in mind I lived in Korea from around 1996-2000, so to me my first time at Somerset was like a dream come true because... more

I indeed stayed in this service apartment in 2006 and 2008 for around 10 months. The room was clean and comfortable and for some of them could even have a palace view, which was very pleasant. The staff there were nice and helpful. It took around 5 minutes walk to the metro, and 20-30 minutes walk to Myeongdong. During our... more

I've stayed in many different hotels in Seoul and Somerset met standard expectations. Since it's really a service apartment, it shouldn't be judged against high-end hotels. Having a full kitchen is a big plus when you're staying for one week or longer. Even if you don't cook, its nice to be able to store beverages and leftovers in the fridge... more

great location within short stroll to Insadong, samchongdong, nearby palaces... probably the best located hotel in Seoul if you are on a business trip but want to get away from it all once you retire for the day but still want to stay in downtown. rooftop was great. had a great view of the near by palaces. best for families... more

My husband and I stayed at Somerset Palace for 9 nights, 271208-050109. We used the airport shuttle bus (no 6011, 9000 won per person), and it stops at Anguk station quite near the hotel, about 10 min walking. When we went to hotel, it took about 1h 10min by bus and when went back to airport it took about 1h... more

I stayed here for 4 months from May to September 2008. It is located in the central area in the Northern Seoul, overlooking the palace and very close to subway station. In general Somerset Seoul was a good experience and I have to say it's a well rounded serviced apartment. It's location is very good compared to other serviced apartments;... more

I got what I considered to be a good deal with a web site (http://www.khrc.com/default.asp) which was about $113 US per night which included breakfast. I thought this was great value. The rooftop patio is fantastic, but not so useful in the winter I suspect. The pool is not heated and is smaller than it looks in the picture. The... more
