Our stay at The Westin Josun Seoul was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was going to be a special place, but by the time we left, it felt like leaving friends behind. Our hearts already miss the wonderful people there. First, the location simply cannot be beat. The hotel is just steps from Myeong-dong, which made it the perfect home base for exploring Seoul. Incredible food, endless shopping, vibrant nightlife—it was all right outside the door. Whether heading out for street food, late-night wandering, or sightseeing, we could not have asked for a better location. The hotel itself is elegant, immaculate, and incredibly comfortable. Our room was beautiful, peaceful, and luxurious, with every detail thoughtfully curated. After long days exploring, it felt like returning to a sanctuary. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the people. The staff made this stay unforgettable. William, the back doorman, was such a warm and welcoming presence and made us feel cared for from day one. The concierge staff were equally amazing—knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in making our experience special. We truly felt like friends, not visitors, and that level of hospitality is rare and deeply meaningful. The breakfast buffet deserves its own standing ovation. It was absolutely out of this world—one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever experienced. The quality, variety, and service were exceptional. Highlights for us were the dumplings, salmon, and kimchi, all absolutely delicious. Every morning felt like a culinary event. What makes this hotel so remarkable is that it combines luxury with heart. It offers world-class accommodations, an unbeatable location, and service that makes you feel at home in another country. This is not just a great hotel—it is a must-stay when visiting Seoul. We would return in a heartbeat, and honestly cannot imagine staying anywhere else. The Westin Josun Seoul helped make our trip unforgettable. Five stars are not enough.

Our stay at Rakkojae Hahoe Hanok was one of the most unique and memorable parts of our trip to South Korea. If you want to immerse yourself in Korean history and experience something truly special, this is a place you should not miss. The beauty of the surrounding area is breathtaking. Set near the historic Hahoe Folk Village, the scenery feels timeless—peaceful, cultural, and almost like stepping into another era. Waking up surrounded by nature and traditional architecture was an experience in itself. Sleeping in a traditional hanok was something we had looked forward to, and it exceeded expectations. The heated floors (ondol) made the room incredibly cozy and added to the authenticity of the experience. There was something so peaceful about staying in a traditional Korean home while still enjoying modern comfort. Our room was wonderfully spacious—three of us stayed in one room and never felt crowded. There was plenty of room to move around, the bathroom was large and beautifully appointed, and the amenities were fantastic. Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated, balancing tradition with comfort in a way that made the stay feel both authentic and luxurious. What makes this property so special is that it is not just a hotel stay, it feels like a cultural experience. The only small note for us was the dining experience. While beautifully presented and refined, it leaned a bit too bougie for our taste. We had hoped for a more traditional, rustic Korean meal that matched the authenticity of the hanok setting. It was still well done, just not quite what we expected. That said, this did not take away from how remarkable this property is. Rakkojae Hahoe Hanok is truly one of a kind—a rare chance to experience Korean heritage in such a beautiful and comfortable setting. For travelers looking for something meaningful, memorable, and unlike a standard hotel stay, this place is unforgettable.

Our stay at Signiel Busan was absolutely exceptional and easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, everything about this hotel felt elevated, thoughtful, and unforgettable. First, the location could not have been any better. Just a short walk to Haeundae Beach, it was the perfect base for enjoying Busan. And the views—absolutely breathtaking. Our room had a balcony (yes, a balcony!) overlooking the ocean, and waking up to that view each morning felt surreal. Sitting outside with the sea breeze and hearing the waves was pure magic. The room itself was stunning—beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail felt luxurious yet welcoming. The bed was heavenly, the space was serene, and honestly… we did not want to leave. What truly made the stay special, though, was the staff. The service was impeccable but also so warm and personal. Having tea brought to our room was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel genuinely cared for. It is rare to find a luxury hotel that feels this polished while also feeling so personal. And the breakfast buffet—simply outstanding. Every morning felt like a feast. The spread was beautifully laid out and absolutely delicious. Freshly made eggs, dumplings, soup, fresh fruit, pastries… we were completely spoiled. It was one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had. Everything about Signiel Busan speaks to excellence: the unbeatable location, breathtaking ocean views, luxurious rooms, extraordinary staff, and incredible dining. This is not just a hotel stay—it is an experience. If you are visiting Busan and want a stay that is elegant, memorable, and deeply relaxing, this is an absolute must. We would return in a heartbeat. Five stars do not do it justice.

Our stay at Grand Hyatt Jeju was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in comfort, luxury, and hospitality that far exceeded expectations. This hotel is truly a destination in itself. The rooms are absolutely stunning—among the largest and most comfortable we have ever stayed in. Spacious, elegant, beautifully designed, and incredibly relaxing, the room felt more like a luxury retreat than a hotel stay. After full days of exploring Jeju, it was a joy to return to such a serene and comfortable space. Every detail felt elevated. The dining at this hotel deserves the highest praise. Every restaurant we experienced was outstanding, with food that was memorable from start to finish. And the breakfast buffet—simply incredible. The variety was remarkable and everything was beautifully prepared. From bulgogi and dumplings to fresh salads, fruit, pastries, and countless other choices, each morning felt indulgent. We were completely spoiled and looked forward to breakfast every day. Another wonderful surprise was the shopping all on site, which made the experience feel even more complete. Having dining, luxury accommodations, and excellent shopping all in one place made the hotel feel like its own vibrant world. What truly elevated our stay, though, was the staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and personal. A special thank you to Jun, whose friendliness and wonderful conversations made our stay even more meaningful. It is rare to meet someone in a hotel who leaves such a lasting impression, and we will certainly miss our chats with him. Grand Hyatt Jeju offers everything you could want—beautiful oversized rooms, exceptional dining, incredible amenities, shopping, and heartfelt hospitality. It combines grandeur with warmth in a way that is hard to find. This was far more than a hotel stay—it was an unforgettable experience. We would return without hesitation and already miss it. If you are visiting Jeju and want true luxury paired with genuine hospitality, this is an absolute must-stay. Five stars are simply not enough.

We enjoyed the hotel very much. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We spent a little time in the hotel bar and the lovely young lady who waited on us both times was incredible. So sweet and friendly!

The day was perfect! Thanks to our guide, Hera Kim!

Hera Kim gave us a quick history recap before we left and was right by our side for the entire day. We could not have done it without her help!

The most luxurious hotel we have stayed at... Our room was huge, with an amazing view of the city of Incheon from our room on the 52nd floor. We were so pleased it had a small kitchen and washer and dryer in our units so that it felt like home, along with extra amenities like a TV in the master bathtub. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated inside and out and the breakfast buffet was top notch. It is right next to the convention center that has lots of restaurants and shopping. We will definitely stay here again when we come back!

The location is great, close to shopping, restaurants, and Dondaemun Plaza where we could watch the fireworks on NY Eve. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful and offer free amenities like hand warmers in the lobby, which was nice. The hotel itself was just ok. Our room wasn't so clean; I found a hair in my bed and the sheets looked dirty too. There was no laundry facility available and it was very difficult to catch a taxi in front of the hotel.

We liked this hotel a lot. It was clean and had good laundry facilities in the basement which we could freely use. The buffet was nice and the location was good.

Nicely situated. Has a business feel. It was very busy during stay with students groups . Very good breakfast.

Cold atmosphere and huge hotel

Best hotel we stay in during our 5 weeks trips. Everything was perfect and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Very nice and relaxing resort. A nice place to discover the south of Jeju Island and to enjoy nuit the view on the sea. Definitely recommend it.

We did not go to this hotel as the program was changed. We were instead, in Itaewon in Seoul in the Hamilton Hotel. Though noisy because of it’s proximity with the Main Street of Itaewon, We recommended this hotel for its convenience location.

The accommodation is so-do especially because it was raining during our stay.

Very well situated but the owner is not very talkative and and at ease with guests. The room , we had would not suit everyone as it was very very small with the bed in a mezzanine with a difficult staircase. Not a problem for us though but just mentioning . The breakfast, which is very light as announced, was kit to our taste. We had to have breakfast outside.

Great place to stay with very very nice people to welcome us. The top was very spacious and authentic. It was the best Hanok atmosphere wise with very kind owners would love to intersect with guests. The breakfast is home made cooking and everything is delicious. We definitely recommend recommend this Hanok beautifully situated in the center of Jeonju

Cold atmosphere. Nice and big room and view on the sea.

We arrived late at this place and it is in the middle of nowhere . Si, we did not have the chance to meet the owners who live in another house. No breakfast which is a problem, the room, which is more of an apartment was c very clean but we think this place is better for a long stay and not for a one night stay.

Nothing special to say

Well situated as it is a good base ro discover Jeju city in a Jeju Island. Good breakfast. Nice room.

Though big and not traditional, this hotel has a great view on the harbor . It is clean and modern. We enjoy our stay.

Very well situated near the older part of Busan. The view is spectacular when you face the bay. Though not an authentic hotel, ew definitely recommend this hotel for its convenience, view.

Beautiful hotel: Beautiful authentic room, Delicious breakfast. Very nice staff. Very well situated, this Hanok has it all. One of the best of our trip.

Because of the rainy weather

Central location with amazing views of both the city and the nearby ocean. Very well stocked and comfortable room with a helpful staff.
