“Great hotel. Highly Recommended.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

I have stayed at the Grand Intercontinental (5-minute walk from Oakwood) on my previous visits to Seoul. I was unable to get a booking there this time and our local business office recommended staying at the Oakwood Premier instead. It was a great experience and a better value compared with the Grand Intercontinental. It is a 2-minute walk from the City Air Terminal where the limousine bus from Incheon airport drops you off.

I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the rooms - these are actually serviced apartments with a living area, kitchen, two bathrooms and a bedroom. Each room has a washer, two flat screen TVs, free internet access, huge bathroom with shower/steam. Breakfast was served in the restaurant on the 5th floor and was quite decent. Security was also tight as access to elevators is granted with your room key only.

The hotel is connected to the Coex mall where you can find plenty of restaurants, shops, and convenience stores to buy essentials, snacks, etc.

This is a great hotel and I would highly recommend it, especially for longer stays.

Room Tip: Make sure you request a non-smoking room if you prefer one.

“The best hotel for long term travelers/families”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel is located in a very lively area called COEX. There are 3 malls right under and next door to the hotel, not to mention a major subway station. The hotel has a fully equipped kitchen (with even salt and pepper!), a full size fridge, a washer and drier, microwave, DVD player, entertainment center, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher, scale, hair drier, iron machine and ironing board, and even a privat Sauna for the upscale 2 bedrooms. There is much attention to detail in this hotel and too many amenities to list here. To me the hotel is better than having an apartment if the price is not the a major issue and in fact many expat families and business people call it home.

“great rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

Very large room, great for a family. The room has everything you need - our room even had a washer/dryer. We only stayed 3 nights and paid a steep price, but it was ok considering the size. They gym is good, and location is good too. Airport limo bus drops off at the City Air Terminal, and 5 minutes walk away. Lots of restaurants across the street and all around the area. Coex Mall also right beside. Great aquarium for the kids. Subway close by as well.
My only complaint was the breakfast. Not good at all - average quality, few choices...more like a 2 star hotel breakfast. After the first day, we didn't bother going back.

“Excellent serviced appartments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

Oakwood provides well appointed serviced apartments south of Seoul City. The staff are flawless and provided assistance during my stay which made a difference. Once you step out onto the street, many people do not speak English and finding things is not obvious - the staff helped direct me and make any required arrangements.

The room itself was perfect - almost everything you could want was there - kitchen, laundry room, large TV, etc. The only thing that surprised me was that the hotel does not provide wireless access to the internet within rooms - only a cable based connection charged at 20k Won per day (About £12). In fact, I was able to connect to public wifi from within the rooom and just used this during my stay (iptime).

Would recommend a visit to local temple - Bongeunsa - just on the next block.

Room Tip: Higher floors get less street noise
