Fraser Place Central Seoul

Attentive staffs, good location, clean and tidy. Food including in room dining were good and fast. The buffet during dinner was superb.

Everything was ok during our visit.

The room was well equipped, and the hotel was nice enough to give us an upgrade (we did not even ask for it). They say it is noisy because of the construction, but inside the room, there is practically no noise.

The cleaning was not amazing. We were at the room during cleaning, and it was really really basic. The staff was polite, but it was hard to get anything really clearly. This however may be because I did not understand them well enough.

Complete with amenities

Hard to find but close enough to attractions

Location is the main one, easy to go around the city from hotel and get to major attractions. Also this is one of the few hotel apartments in Seoul

I initially booked a good rate for about a week and requested an extra bed. However, the hotel only provided the extra bed for the first three nights. As a result, I had to shorten my original stay. When I later asked to extend my stay, they were able to provide the extra bed, but the rate for the new booking was significantly higher than the price I had originally secured. I arrived at 9:00 a.m. and was asked to pay a half-day rate for early check-in. Likewise, when I requested a late check-out of just four hours, I was again charged a half-day rate. While I understand that hotels have policies regarding early check-in and late check-out, the charges felt excessive. The noise from the nearby construction was unbearable and had a major impact on my stay. In addition, room service was only available from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., which was quite limiting. I stayed in two different apartments during my visit, and both had issues with the bathrooms and overall items were overly used. I also witnessed a situation involving another guest that I found concerning. The guest had fallen asleep in the reception area, and the hotel called the police instead of attempting to handle the situation more appropriately. In my view, this was an excessive reaction. Finally, the hotel lobby is very small. When it gets busy, there is hardly any space for guests to sit or wait comfortably.
