The staff at this hotel is incredible all around, I cannot stress this enough. The hotel is right in the middle of a lot of restaurants and things to do, which was exactly what we were hoping for. The room was great: comfortable, clean, and quiet. We will absolutely be staying here every time we return to Seoul.

There are better options.
Directions to the hotel are unclear as the hotel is around the block from the address. The room had a small card that said, Here’s a snack.” There was no snack. There was only one coffee pod, no creamer. The shower head leaked and sprayed everywhere. If you adjusted the temp too quickly the shower head would disengage. The room is fairly cramped. The thermostat didn’t do anything.

Bad service
Bad service attitude from staffs. Caused a panic when our plush was missing when we came back to the room. The cleaning team brought our plush together with dirty linen back to their laundry room after they are done housekeeping.

We loved this hotel. In the middle of everything but still quiet night’s sleep. The staff was very helpful in arranging transportation to the airport and providing recommendations on places to visit.

I was very pleased with my stay at Mercure. I appreciated how cleaned the hotel was and how very helpful each one of the stuff were during my stay. The breakfast was really good and had a variety of options and the room service was great.
