    “It is a great place to stay quietly.”

    I saw it on social media before and wanted to visit, so I came here. I was a bit surprised that the overall condition was older than what I saw in the photos. When I visited, there were significantly more foreign guests than Korean guests. The room was spacious and good for the price. The room condition was also good, and it was quiet without noise, so I could rest comfortably. The refrigerator looked old, but it worked well. The air conditioning was functioning properly, but keep in mind that it does not work when the window is open. The bedding was soft, and the staff were friendly, which I appreciated. However, the location was somewhat ambiguous, and there were fewer amenities, which was a bit disappointing. I had a good rest!

    “Comfortable and satisfying stay”

    The accommodation is relatively clean, and the staff are friendly. The amenities in the room and the WiFi speed were also excellent, allowing for a pleasant stay. The breakfast was sufficiently diverse and tasty, making it a great way to start the day. However, transportation from the subway is somewhat inconvenient, and the shopping environment is lacking, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it offers high satisfaction for the price and is a place worth recommending.

    “A hotel with a unique static charm. Satisfied.”

    We stayed at a hotel for a family trip this time, and it is charming with its quiet and vintage atmosphere nestled by the mountains. The concierge team was kind, always responding with warmth and delicacy, whether it was for luggage storage or inquiries. The hotel room is spacious, and unlike many recent hotels where bathroom doors are open or sliding and see-through, I particularly liked that the bathroom in the Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul does not have this design. However, being an old hotel, the rooms feel a bit worn down, corridor noise is quite audible, and the shower in the bathroom appears to be an older model. The cleaning of the ceiling could be more thorough, as there were dusty cobwebs between the ceiling and the lights, and I felt better only after wiping them down with my personal alcohol wipes. If these aspects are improved, I believe it would be an even more satisfying hotel. The food and drinks at the Alpine Cafe were indeed priced like a hotel, but very delicious, and it was very quiet for family conversations. The music played by a pianist in the lounge was also pleasant. I would like to use it again. I heard that the sauna and pool are currently unavailable, but I would like to use them if they open in the future.

    “Review of the Junior Suite Room at Sweet Grand Hotel”

    We needed a large accommodation for our family of four, and it was a big place with nice interior. Additionally, we received a coupon for two steaks and a bottle of wine for dinner, and breakfast was included as well, which had a lot of delicious buffet options. Above all, I appreciated that the hotel staff treated us with five-star-level kindness.

    “It's a lovely hotel.”

    The hotel was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The room was spacious and comfortable to stay in. I really enjoyed walking by the nearby river. After staying a few nights in Myeongdong, I stayed here and felt rejuvenated by the abundance of nature. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, and I was grateful for their courteous service.
