5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

Stayed here for two nights and it was a fantastic experience. The room was very modern, the woo bar was a great place for a cocktail or two and we had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant overlooking the city. We look forward to returning here and also trying other W hotels in the future. More

The location is quite far from the city. But now worries, they have shuttle bus that will take you to the nearest station. The room has amazing interiors all reds, and l love their aminities. The only miss was we could hear people walking and talking outside of room, apparently the door is not sound proof. i went on winter... More

Stayed 4 nights , Room spacious with fantastic river view of Han river, great attention to detail felt very individual & unique. Woo bar has a great atmosphere, funky beats & cocktails.

There's not much to do on Walker Hill, but the W Hotel certainly doesn't disappoint. Kitchen serves up a fabulous brunch buffet, and the lounge is sure to please--best mojito I've had in Seoul. The room service is a little forgettable, but the amenities in the spacious rooms are modern and sleek. Nice weekend getaway. More

I understand the whole 'walker hill' resort within the city theme of the hotel but the location of this hotel is nothing but inconvenient for travelers. If you live in the city and want a nice quick get away, this would be a perfect place though. Rooms are very large. Very well appointed, most have very nice view of the... More

We stayed here for 4 nights. The room was stylish with an awesome river view. The service was good. The hotel is too far from everything. We spent a lot of money taking taxi to the shopping area though the hotel have free shuttles to the nearest train station. (but this is a remote train station which you have to... More

The hotel seems to be focusing on "quirky" far more, than it should be, by neglecting simple principles of comfort. The room looks like it came straight from one of the Stanley Kubrik's films (the over-the-top 70-ies), not enough privacy in the bathroom, unimpressive bathtub and "rain shower". All in all the place is not that bad, but the poor... More

We stayed at the W Seoul over the weekend, having chosen this hotel because of our previous experience with the SPG brand. From this point of view, we were (mostly) not disappointed. We were picked up at Incheon by their limo, arrived after a smooth ride about a little over an hour later, and greeted by a very attentive concierge.... More

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It isn't particularly practical if you really want to be in the middle of all the excitement and tourist attractions. I stayed here for the weekend and didn't leave the hotel once. But I think that is the point. It is a great place to stay for business or a weekend getaway... More
