We really enjoyed staying at the Somerset. The staff was very friendly, the location is great being right next to Insadong and all the nearby neighborhoods and restaurants. The room was very big considering the price which even had it's own washer/dryer. Our only complaint is that there didn't seem to be very many electrical outlet locations for charging our devices but other than that, this was a great hotel. We would definitely consider staying here again when in Gangbuk (North of the river).

A great stay!
They were so helpful and kind and accommodating. The location is great and parking is super convenient and easy. We stayed once and then stayed again for longer. Breakfast is free and delicious and not too much. A lot of people stay here and for good reason! Would 11/10 recommend again!

Hotel in best location
Family of x4 perfect room as 2bedroom with kitchenette and x2 bathrooms. Quiet stay except if windows open hear protesters as embassies near. Also a Buddhist temple next to hotel with early morning drumming, gongs and chanting. Close the window at night.
The staff in all areas were polite and welcoming especially the breakfast area which the food was tasty and a great variety. Location was perfect for the palaces, Insadong and close to Subway for all over Seoul. Highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed in 2 bedroom suite. It was very very spacious and clean. Walking distance to many places and it was just a perfect place to stay. I plan to stay there my whole trip next time I visit Seoul.
