Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were able to walk to COEX Mall to grab food from restaurants or shop for groceries. The grocery store in Hyundai Mall even allowed us to take the shopping cart all the way to our hotel room, which was very convenient. The hotel breakfast buffet was excellent. We don’t usually eat breakfast, but we ended up having it there every day. The hotel staff were extremely friendly. Whenever we asked for something, especially from housekeeping, it was delivered within a minute. The housekeeping staff were very kind and changed our bed sheets every day. I got a body massage at the spa on the second floor, and it was the best massage I’ve ever had. I wish we had done it right after our long trip. The only downside was that the swimming pool was closed during our stay, but it wasn’t a big issue. Our flight arrived early in the morning, so we had to wait in the hotel lobby from 9a.m. to 2 p.m. because early check-in was not available. Overall, our family really liked the hotel, even though it is a bit dated. We’ll definitely be coming back in June!

The hotel employee was very thoughtful and provided us with free room upgrade and a slice of cake because of our wedding anniversary. That was very considerate and nice gesture. Also warm water in the pool was a big bonus. However, there are few things I would like to point out which are important for us as a family traveling with a kid: 1) children are not allowed to play screen golf. That was upsetting since we never had such issue at other hotels. Also you need to reserve time slot first, which doesn’t work for people who came to Seoul for tourism or leisure purposes. 2) children are only allowed to enter pool until 17:00. That’s extremely strange since many people check in after 15:00 and there would be no time to swim at all in that case. Also people mainly prefer to do shopping and sightseeing and relax at pool when they return in the evening. So this restriction is very strange for us. In that case hotel needs to either notify the guests during reservation or turn it into “adults only” hotel. 3) hotel has a very strict check in check out rules: 15:00 check in and 11:00 check out, not 30 min later/earlier; while standard international check in is 14:00 and check out 12:00. Usually hotels especially 5 stars hotels are very flexible and let guests check in 1-2h earlier if the guests already arrived and would allow them check out 30min-1h later without any issue. 4) Gym and pool close at 21:30. That’s very early compare to other hotels, where facilities usually work until 23:00 and sometimes even 24h. 5) Gym, sauna and pool are not exclusive to the hotel guests only. Anybody with paid membership can enter, which makes it crowded and inconvenient for hotel guests, especially on holidays and weekends. Also you need to take 2 different lifts and walk by the bridge to get there (basically it’s not the same building as hotel) I would say it’s not a 5 star hotel, but more like a premium residence, that is suitable for a long term stay without children.

Nice hotel feel like we are at home we reserved for two bedrooms very comfortable we will go back again !!

I travelled for semicon korea trip. It was very convenient as coex is very near to oakwood. 5 minutes walk through B1 floor. On the B1 itself, have a lot of food stalls making it easier for traveler like me during the business trip. The hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. Appreciate the staff who was so kind and nice as well.

This was a pretty great Hotel! Friendly Staff, Great Breakfadt, and CoEX underground mall is right over there!

We had an excellent stay at Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul. The hotel kindly upgraded our room, which was very spacious and extremely comfortable. It was well-equipped with everything we needed, including a washing machine, balcony, microwave, electric pot, ironing board, and a large television with international channels. The bathroom was also very spacious and convenient. The location is outstanding, especially for attending exhibitions at COEX, which was the main purpose of our visit. It made getting around very easy and saved us a lot of time. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with great facilities and a perfect location for business travelers. Highly recommended.
