Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Gracery Seoul is frequently praised for its excellent location, placing guests within easy reach of attractions and a short walk from a night market filled with food, souvenirs, and shops. Many guests appreciate the modern, clean rooms that offer pleasant views, some overlooking the palace or even Namsan Tower. While generally well-regarded, a few guests have noted that some rooms could use a bit of refreshing. A Starbucks and a CU convenience store right by the entrance add to the hotel's convenient offerings.
The location offers convenient access to various attractions!!! several buses stop nearby, and a metro station is also close. i chose the triple room bath and the cleanliness was amazing. the view from the room overlooked the main street and a palace. It was beautiful.
the breakfast time started a little late for my early schedule.

The location is convenient with bus stops nearby. I found a Starbucks on the first floor too. The hotel offered laundry and dryer facilities on the reception floor with soap available for purchase. The staff were helpful when I needed assistance.
the location was fantastic near many restaurants. it was easy to access several subway stations. i could easily walk to both namdaemun shopping street and myeongdong shopping street!
housekeeping was compromised . the carpet was not vacuumed once from my first day until i checked out. stains on the bedsheets remained in the exact same spots even on my departure date.
