The washer/dryer was one of the biggest disappointments during my stay. It takes an extremely long time to wash and dry a load, the settings are difficult to figure out, and even after running a full drying cycle, my clothes were still very wet. I ended up having to run additional cycles just to get the water out and attempt to dry them again. If having a washer and dryer is one of the main reasons you’re considering booking this hotel, like it was for me, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Pros: The staff at this hotel are extremely friendly and welcoming, especially the doorman, John. He truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, and his professionalism is top-tier. He is always willing to help with your bags and makes a point to open the door for you simply out of hospitality. Those small details definitely don’t go unnoticed, and his kindness really stood out during my stay. Cons: . If you’re a light sleeper, the noise is something to be aware of. I originally stayed on the fourth floor, and I could hear buses driving by and cars honking their horns throughout the night. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to move me from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, it was still very loud. There is also construction taking place at a building next to the hotel, so you may hear construction workers and additional noise during the day. Of course, this is completely outside of the hotel’s control, but it is something worth knowing before booking. If you are sensitive to noise, I would strongly recommend requesting a room on one of the highest floors available. Unfortunately, I did not get one good night’s sleep during my stay because of the street noise. Aside from that, the hospitality and service from the staff were excellent.

Great location, like the name suggests, is local to many sights and food stops. The train station is within 5 mins walk, and the bus stop is right downstairs. The airport limousine also stops right in front of the hotel. SO convenient. The rooms are clean, modern, and spacious. No issues whatsoever as far as cleanliness goes. The laundry washer/dryer was the main reason for booking and it was so worth it. The convenience of being able to wash clothes while on vacation is a no-brainer. I have recommended this hotel to others who are visiting Seoul. I even cancelled my hotel for the second half of my trip that I had booked weeks in advance, just so I could rebook at Fraser Place Central. And the staff was so kind as to keep my luggage in storage for a few days while I went down to Busan. I can’t wait to come back.
Good stay overall. The studio was clean and comfortable, and the pool and sauna were nice extras, especially since they were complimentary. The location is central, but it’s still about a 10-minute walk to the subway, so the bus stop right in front of the hotel was very convenient. The only downside was that the washing machine felt a bit outdated and didn’t work very well, especially the dryer.
Very family-friendly, practical serviced suites. We booked 2 units. A Deluxe one-bedroom & a standard one-bedroom. TheDeluxe one was renovated & well-maintained. The other one was a littledated. Both are clean, big & comfortable.Facilities were good with restaurant, deli,rooftop lounge bar and terrace for viewsand drinks. There's a gym, indoor pool(heated) sauna and spa pool in changingroom. There’s also strollers that you can borrow ( first come first serve basis ) from the hotel Location is good. In a quiet office/residential area. Bus stops right in frontincluding the airport bus. There's also anexercise park & children's playground ablock away outside AIA tower. Lots ofeateries around within 200m. Some just downstairs or immediate surrounding buildings ( CU convenience store, Burger King, Coffee Bean Tea Leaf) My unit a little dated & housekeeping alittle slack. Need to remind them or theymissed replenishing some stuff in the unit The other unit by my family member is new & housekeeping prompt.
Stayed here for 10 days and the room setup was perfect for a longer stay. It has a full kitchen, large fridge, microwave, and a washer/dryer combo, which was very convenient. Staff assisted with our luggage upon arrival, which we appreciated. Housekeeping staff were nice and accommodating, and we also appreciated that the front desk checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything. The location is very convenient about a 10–20 minute walk to Myeongdong and nearby Starbucks, with Burger King and a CU convenience store right next to the hotel, plus The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf connected to the building. The Panorama Lounge on the 23rd floor has a really nice panoramic city view at night, which we enjoyed. Breakfast is around 72,000 KRW for 2 people and the selection is on the simpler side with limited variety. We tried it twice and the menu was very similar both days. The Panorama Lounge is more focused on cocktails and wine, with limited food options. Our room was facing the road, so it could be a bit noisy at times especially with occasional traffic, honking, or ambulances but after a few days we got used to it 🙂 Front desk communication can vary some staff speak English well, while others have limited English, but they still try to assist. There’s a CU convenience store right next to the hotel with ready-to-eat and microwavable meals, which is very helpful for days when you just want to rest and stay in for the day. We ended up enjoying it a lot the staff are nice, there are plenty of options to choose from, and they also have a good variety of iced coffee drinks, which I really liked.
