    “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 was good.”

    I was very satisfied with using the underground parking lot by driving my own car. However, it was a bit inconvenient to use public transportation to go into the city due to my schedule, so I used a taxi. It's an old hotel, but the rooms themselves have been partially remodeled, making them very comfortable. The king-size bed was sufficient for 2 adults and 1 child to sleep comfortably, and I was able to stay comfortably in a room that was larger than similar or more expensive hotels.

    “It was very good, but there were also clearly some uncomfortable points in the review.”

    About 20 years ago, I had visited when it was the Grand Hilton, so I had mixed feelings of anticipation and worry about its wear and tear. It has become quite empty since I last saw it, but the room I stayed in was newly renovated, beautiful, and comfortable, with pleasing structure and lighting. Coincidentally, the day I stayed there was a Saturday when the BTS Gwanghwamun comeback show was happening, and most hotels in Seoul had doubled their rates for the weekend, but the price-quality ratio here was good, making it an easy choice. The front desk staff was friendly, but they gave me card keys that didn't work (which can happen), so I had to go back to get them changed. They told me that it wouldn’t work if I had my phone with me (which may not have been their intention), and I felt uncomfortable when they re-registered the card keys. After driving for 6 hours from Busan, I was already sensitive after struggling with my phone's flashlight in the dark at the door, trying multiple times. After checking in late at 11 PM, I had to contact the front desk again due to a faucet issue in the bathroom (the phone was touch rather than dial, which added difficulty). A staff member came and struggled for about 50 minutes, and finally, water started flowing, allowing me to unpack, wash up, and sleep by midnight. The staff who repaired it were very kind. Given its large size but low staffing and worn facilities, I attributed it to that. The bedding was comfortable and clean, and although it wasn’t a smart TV, the easily operable TV was nice to use. There was a convenience store on the first floor, so I didn't have to go out of the hotel for snacks or simple toiletries. There were ample towels and tissues, but no gown. The hairdryer and outlets were safely distanced from the sink, making them convenient to use. The mirror in front of the faucet was nicely designed, making it easy to use (the hotel's original structure is good, and the interior decoration is excellently done). There was also a spacious area next to the sink to place my shower tools. This isn't the hotel’s fault, but being an older hotel, the parking lines were somewhat tight. On the day of checkout, a guest from a hotel event parked next to my car and scratched it while leaving, giving me a few days of experience driving a Genesis G70 for free. Although my beloved car, which I had bought just a year ago, got scratched, I was impressed by the honesty of the person who contacted me about it. Even if they hadn’t been honest, the parking lot CCTV must have been good, right? The hotel's exterior and basic condition are really good, but I hope they pay a little more attention to become an even better hotel. As a member of Agoda Diamond, I have stayed at many hotels both domestically and internationally, and this is the first time I’ve written such a long review detailing pros and cons. I hope you see it as a sign of my affection for the place.
