Review: Conrad Seoul

Hilton Matthew Chong - Oct 12, 2019 6

The Conrad Seoul is definitely one of the better hotels I have stayed in. Great executive lounge, nice breakfast spread, and a huge gym to work all that food off. Pity about its location though.

Review: ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong

Accor Matthew Chong - Sep 28, 2019 0

My first stay at the ibis Styles actually exceeded my expectations of what the brand was supposed to be. Comfy beds, decent-ish breakfast, good location, and a great view of Namsan Tower and Myeongdong.
