Very pleased on the location, options on the lounge were great. Breakfast was very good. Would highly recommend, however , our room was given to us one hour earlier than check in and unlike other hotels I have stayed at all my life , we were charged a fee. Never seen that before.

The Royal is in a fantastic position in the the thick of all the action in Myeongdong. It is in a quiet position just above the street action. It is handy to public transportation and many high end shops. Very accessible to many of the cities highlights. Staff were a delight. Restaurant and bars have great views.
