Very clean and neat. But I wanted to use the gym facilities in the morning, and didn't know operating hours were only 12pm - 9pm. Other than that very happy with our stay.

The hotel is well run and staff are very helpful. Our room was comfortable and met all needs. The hotel has the best gym I’ve ever seen at a hotel, it is as good as any professional gym you’d find and pay high rates for when away from home, provided free as part of the stay. Breakfasts at the dining room were excellent. The only negative is that the hotel promised a sauna and spa area which looks excellent in their publicity, but was in fact closed for the entirety of our two week stay.

Really nice modern hotel! Best gym with all new equipments, room was very nice and bed super comfortable. While I didn’t have the food, restaurant menu looked appealing - Malatang / Chinese style! Let down was the fact sauna / spa was under renovation. Had this been open this would be one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! Another let down was the Illy cafe onsite. I’ve had illy coffee in Australia before but this one in Seoul was a big let down. I had Americano but it tasted like cheap powdered and watered down coffee. Overall 5 star experience! I’d come back here next time esp if the sauna / spa is operational!

Very nice , modern property. Spacious rooms with good WiFi. The gym is great for a hotel. The staff is helpful and friendly. For an extra charge you can get an early check in They have a water refill station and a convenience store next door. The bed is very comfy and you sleep well One small thing to consider their room service is limited, it’s not easy to order in. For diner You will need to take a cab or walk for an area with food, otherwise, the convenience store is a good substitute . But they are located near all the busy areas for dinner and during the day you have a lot of great places to eat and get a coffee

This hotel was premium quality for a very reasonable price. I stayed for almost two weeks and had zero complaints - staff were super friendly and helpful, rooms and amenities were clean and well maintained. The cleaning staff were particularly helpful and friendly - when I ran into them in the hallway they always had a smile and asked if I needed anything even on days when we didn't request a room refresh. Highly recommend this property, especially if you want to be close to the palaces and central Seoul.

Our first room has a dysfunctional shower where water was leaking into the toilet area. The staff then moved us to a room that had gnats in the shower and asked us if we’d like them to spray something ti get rid of them. We asked for a different room, so we were downgraded to a smaller room with a lower floor and worse view. When asked if there was a price difference for the downgrade, the staff stated the size difference wasn’t significant enough for a price change. We got the economy room which means they only clean our room on specific days. On the days they did clean,it was subpar. Instead of refilling our shampoo and conditioner bottles, they placed extra bottles (I’ve never seen a hotel do this before) so we had a total of 5 bottles of product in our shower. My blanket also had short straight hairs all over it after it had been made by housekeeping which was odd because I have long, curly hair. The location is not great either because there is no subway entrance nearby. You have to walk at least 10 minutes. The only public transportation available is bus which is still a 5-6 minute walk which feels far if you’re visiting in the summer heat. Overall the experience was subpar and I would not stay here again.

The room at the Orakai was spacious, airy, and meticulously clean. The staff very graciously helped us out with various needs (spoon, glass, and ice fetching for our guests), dining recommendations, a cab-driver assist with directions for the driver, etc.). The level and quality of generous customer service and support received at the Orakai exceeds that of even high-end hotels in the US. An excellent and relaxing environment. We stayed for 12 comfortable days. Thank you, Orakai Team!

The room is small but the location was great. The only other downside is that you cannot control the thermostat and it gets very hot and stuffy in the room. I also don’t easily get hot so I cannot imagine how it would be for those who have to crank up the AC.

Staff are nice but made a mistake to consolidate my two reservations in one same room. The most difficult is staying in their room with unexpected high temperature. Already shut down the central cooling and the room was heated to 28C even in Oct & Nov so our staying in the room was so unpleasant. After complain, told us to keep the window open(my room was on 13th fl) and got us a fan…

위치가 좋아서 광화문, 대학로, 동대문, 고궁 등 모든 관광지와 접근성이 좋습니다. 광장 시장도 가깝구요. 호텔 내 카페의 영업시간이 짧아서 아쉬워요. 객실 상태는 청결하고 조용하고 좋아요. 조식은 심플하지만 가성비가 좋아요. 단체 외국인 관광객이 있어서 시끄럽고 붐빌줄 알았는데, 생각보다 한산하고 조용하고 깔끔해서 좋았어요. 단 객실 온도가 제어가 안 돼서 에어컨 바람 때문에 좀 추웠어요.
