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. More

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

I've stayed at Executive flr with my husband for a wedding anniversary occasion on last April, the service was great and staffs were friendly & helpful. We got a complementary wine, cheese and a box of chocolate from the hotel, it wasn't expensive one nor big but good enough to feel that we were treated well for my special occasion.... 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

The Westin Chosun in Seoul was ideally located for touring the historic palaces. The staff of the Westin was friendly and helpful. The room was as promised and the spurge on the executive lounge made the visit even better. More

Rooms are worn out, staff are less than friendly. Only reason I stay here is because the company forces me. Much better value for money locations elsewhere. More

We stayed on the club level which was well worth the additional money. Club level gives you access to the lounge for breakfast (though listed as continental - it was a buffet breakfast with ample selection of hot and cold, Western and Asian fare). It also gives you free access to the gym and sauna. The sauna is a traditional... More
