### Hotel Nafore

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and clean. Very centrally located and not far from the main road. It is behind a building but that also meant it was quiet. Easy to walk to Ikseon-dong or Myeongdong. Water and towels were provided each day. They were happy to lend us a charging adapter because we forgot to bring ours. Ice is available on the first floor. Laundry is available on the top floor. Only gripe was that there was no shower curtain or glass to keep the bathroom dry while showering. But it was a minor issue as the bathroom was large so mostly stayed dry."

### Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Four Seasons Seoul. It is comforting that you can stay a Four Seasons hotel group,hotel and there is a consistency within the properties, level of service and amenties. The staff were very helpful even prior to arrival. The hotel food was delicious. The spa attendants were very lovely and I got a great manicure. The overall feel was warm, welcoming and offered a calm and peaceful atmosphere after a long day. The only issue we had was that we had a late flight out and had no where to settle in after check out. There is an executive suite floor but you have to have specific access. They don't even offer you a option to pay for access. They have another odd rule about paying for single use toothbrushes and toothpaste but they offer all sorts of other free single use products, which inclued hand wipes wrapped in plastic at every meal for every person. I was told the issue was a government mandate for perserving the environment. Which would make sense if they didn't offer those wipes and all sorts of eye masks during turn down service which is also single use. I always travel with toothbrush and toothpaste as I prefer my own but the whole concept seemed contradictory and disingenuous. Having said that,I loved my stay at the hotel. We have stayed often at the Four Seasons hotels and will continue to do so. "
