Room was clean and staff was ok but the reason why I give only 3 stars is because there was no outlet in the bathroom so I couldn’t dry hair… had to dry in the bedroom near mirror but dryer cord was short so had to ask for extension cord… never seen a hotel bathroom with no outlet for dryer😱

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect — right in the heart of Seoul with easy transportation access to explore the city. The hotel was very clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely choose to stay here again whenever I return to South Korea. Highly recommended!

Hotel was really nice overall. Rooms need to be updated however. Ate at the restaurant and the food was really good. Hotel staff was friendly. Bathroom shower really needed a deep cleaning. But overall a good hotel.

Great stay for English speaking tourists

The hotel was everything we needed it to be for our first trip to Seoul. The bedrooms had quality air conditioning, the room was soundproof, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom included at bidet and had decent water pressure in the shower. The hotel itself is wheelchair accessible. The staff were friendly, the gym was nice, and the breakfast buffet had many options. After long days out and about, the hotel dining became a great opportunity for food before bed, with a variety of meals to choose from. The wait staff were accommodating to my gluten allergy which made my trip significantly easier as I knew I had a guaranteed option for food. The hotel itself is walking distance from a bus stop and located near a nice cafe and wheelchair accessible convenience store, which made getting to destinations and gathering necessities rather easy. It was a great stay and I recommend this hotel to tourists, as the accommodation met our needs and allowed us to focus on enjoying the city to its fullest extent.

Menu option of Kimchi stew from Hotel Riviera’s Cafe Vista, was very tasty.
