location, great gym, staff very helpfull, great breakfast

- big room with enough place for luggage; - lovely traditional food restaurants; - Cu and 7 eleven in the neighbourhood; - Clean hotel; - Helpfull staf;

- You can only regulate the temperature in a small area (± 5°C); - 15min walking to metro station, the bus stops in front off the hotel; - No closets for clothes;

- Amazing view, but a bit noisy from outside - Quiet and good soundproofing, you can't hear your neighbors - Cleanliness: cleaning and changing towels daily; - Convenient location: near attractions and close to the nearest metro station - Quiet and safe area, close to restaurants, cafes and University

- Very dirty windows that spoil the fantastic view - Poor breakfast, unacceptable for a 4 star hotel - No possibility of transfer from / to the airport - Strange and unpleasant smell in the room and hotel (smell of the old hospital)

Nice to CU convenience store next to it. Staff are helpful. Reaction time from housekeeping and technical support is super fast. Within 5 minutes they come to our room to deliver what we ask and help fix some issue we faced. Shower water is hot all the time. Saunna is good and gym room is big and complete equipment. Room is clean, bath tub is comfortable.

Far from subway, it is not suitable for family to travel in winter. The bus network is complicated. Calling a cab from hotel with assitance from the front desk. Need to worry about catching a cab back to hotel. All map and apps are in korea. Tried kakao taxi, bit not easy to identify pick up point easily without help, furthermore it is cold in winter.. Surrounding is too quite, only a Nice to CU conveniece store next to hotel which we visit every night.

Simply amazing! It was so clean so comfortable and the staff was absolutely fantastic. I will go back

We were very happy with our choice for Orakai Daehakro. The rooms were very nice, the gym excellent and breakfast ok (only had it once on the first morning) and staff super friendly. Our favorite aspect was the location. All the major spots you visit in Seoul are in easy reach by public transport. The palaces are almost next door. We also thought that the university district at about a 10-15 minute walk away is very pleasant. Lots of restaurants and cafes. A good vibe. Also worthwhile going up Naksam through the Ihwa Village neighborhood. I highly recommend this hotel for a first time in Seoul.

All good, no negatives.

We loved every aspect of it and can’t really find anything to fault it on. The location is superb, right in central Seoul within easy walking distance to the various palace complexes. Also, there are plenty of cheap and tasty eateries in the streets outside, as well as a number of small convenience stores within 2 minutes walk. Our room was excellent, clean, bright, with decent city views. Overall it was very comfortable and quiet so we were able to have really good sleeps. The mini-fridge was a nice bonus to keep our drinks chilled. The breakfast buffet was amazing, with a great selection of both western and Korean food, as well as a nice selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. A real highlight of our stay was the very well equipped gym which we used every day. This is one of the best hotel gyms I’ve ever experienced, pretty much commercial grade. There are a dozen or so high-quality cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and rowers) plus a huge selection of Lifefitness weight machines covering all body parts. In addition, there is a reasonable selection of free weights ( dumbbells, Smith rack, and preacher bench).

The late opening hours of the gym (7am). It would've been nice to be able to access at 6am.

Everything. It was an amazing stay. The room was spacious and always clean. It has a refrigerator, a kettle and tea, coffee and fresh water bottles were served every day. The hotel has a very good equipped gym, and a laundry room with a microwave for everyone to use. The bus 162 is just outside and needs like 20mins to the center. The metro jongno 5 is like a 13mins walk away and brings you to the station. Next to the hotel are also 2 convenient stores and many korean restaurants are close by. I didnt book the breakfast, so idk about that one.

I was missing an actual cupboard in the room.

I have booked this hotel last minute during my Asia trip and I know that it was the best option at that time. This hotel is quite a new building located close to Changgyeonggung Palace. There are 3 convenience store on that street. We had an opportunity to use a luggage storage in the hotel which was very helpful for us. Personal in this hotel was probably the best experience during our stay here. Especially, people working qt the reception were very friendly. I don't know the name of one receptionist but she should be awarded for being extremely kind and helped us a lot! Rooms were specious and almost immaculate with big TV with English - speaking channels and comfy beds. Really appreciate the leaflets and magazines about Seoul provided on the ground floor, Breakfast - there wasn't a huge or small amount of options to choose from but everything vas delicious and fresh. I really loved the amount of fruits there. The restaurant was always clean and there were always free seats no matter at what time you plan to pay a visit for your brekker there. I Was really satisfied that I have chosen this hotel & gonna visit it during my next trip to Asia. I Need to say thank you to orakai daehakro Hotel'S staff.

If I had to mention any cons I would say that the waiting time for elevators was frustrating and if someone wanna use only subway metro it's kinda far but you can reach it within A few minutes by bus - there are many bus stops on this street.

The hotel staff are so helpful and accommodating. They were able to organize early check in when I transferred rooms after my group departed and were able to help me when my return flight was delayed to the next day. Elevators in the hotel were really fast and we never waited too long for them. Gym is great for a work out! Sauna is out of commission but would have nice to use.

Location is great if you want to explore the surrounding palaces, Insadong, Myeongdong, and Jongno area. This location is more convenient using buses than the subway.
