Chintzy Hotel - Will Come Back
From the second you walk in, the Euro-inspired decor hits you. A little chintzy, but overall very nice. Make sure to get a renovated room, didn’t see the older rooms but based on other reviews, I signed up for their hotel loyalty program and received a free upgrade. As a program member, you also receive complimentary early check-in/late check-out. Very nice if you have a late flight out of Incheon. It’s a business hotel, so lots of foreigners. Hotel staff is cordial and many can speak English. Located 5 minutes from the nearest subway station, it’s conveniently situated. Takes 20 minutes to cross the river into Gangbuk. Be sure to check out the 3 Hofs/fried chicken joints located on the way to the Hakdong subway station, they’re open till 5am daily!

I’d stay here again even though the location isn’t the greatest.
The Imperial Palace was a really nice hotel and the service was great. It was in the high class neighborhood but wasn’t in the greatest area, meaning downtown/central Seoul where it’s much easier and quicker to get to tourist places. The Imperial Palace had smoking rooms but the hotel had decent ventilation where we couldn’t smell the smoke in our room (unlike all the other hotels we stayed in while we were in Korea). This is why I would stay here again even though it isn’t in the best location.

experienced traveler
I have stayed at many hotels in Korea for business and this was my first time staying at the Imperial Palace and for leisure. The hotel is very opulent. The taxis were a bit confused as the hotel used to be the amiga hotel. The rooms were a little smaller than anticipated. The location isn’t too bad. The airport limosine bus takes you to the hotel but lets you out across the street.
Traveler's tip for business travelers
take the airport limosine bus. It cost 14,000 won (about $14 USD) Do not take a taxi from the hotel -- go to the main road and catch a regular taxi. The limosine taxi the hotel calls is more expensive.
