I was here for a conference so did not have much time to explore the Hotel. It was very good though. The reason it did not get a 5 star rating from me is because of its lifts. The slowest lifts in the world!! They were having problems with one of their 4 lifts for the whole 4 days I... More

This is one of the original five star, luxury hotels in Seoul. With the boom in the economy, many have followed in recent years and often this poses a difficulty for the 'old' hotel - which can then lag behind in decor, technology and innovation. Not so the case with The Westin - which remains at the top of its... More

Our first time to this Property, and it certainly is 5 Star, from the Entrance and Temple just outside. All the Staff were extremely helpful, the Front Desk even took care of a Tour Guide A/C for us when his CC Machine failed to work. The Suite was beautifully appointed and the Executive Club was excellent and their Staff fantastic.... More

Things to love about this hotel are the gym and the location, both are unbeatable. Service is in general good but cuts corners with the room cleaners cleaning the rooms very late in the day and making the room up in turn down mode, so no turn down service. The rooms are a bit old and smelly and one is... More

Dear SamsonNlte Thank you very much for your constructive comments in connection with Make-up of rooms and also the smell of cigarettes. The Westin Chosun Seoul's Guestrooms are a non-smoking environment, but we do have some offenders from time to time. We are changing the Floor tiles in the Pool and Sauna / Jacuzzis and by June 4th all should... More

Stayed here for a week on business. The hotel is located in a very happening area. Rooms are nice, and the gym is fantastic. The only imperfection was the breakfast in the executive lounge: limited choice and surprisingly inadequate and inexperienced service.

We were in Seoul on vacation and were really glad we chose to stay at the Westin Chosun Hotel. Great hotel in a perfect location right near everything, malls, temples; the Cheonggyecheon Stream, a highlight of Seoul, is in walking distance. The executive lounge is definitely worth the upgrade as you can have a huge breakfast. Snacks and drinks are... More

Visited the hotel on a trip with my family and some friends who stayed in the Westin as well. While location is great, the rooms and service were not up to a 5 star standard. Also, being located on a relatively low floor (8th floor), you can hear the vehicles on the road. Toilets were small, and room was old.... More
