Best Western Premier Hotel Kukdo

Good hotel for business as well as for holiday. Brought my wife this time and she enjoyed the trip. Good service, great staff and facilities. Will definitely return to this hotel in the centre of Seoul which is most convenient as underground rail and buses are quicker during peak times. less

POSITIVE 1. excellent location...2 mnts walk to the metro. 10mnts walk to DONGDAENUM, a vibrant night market,street shopping and high end malls, wide range of foods stalls and restaurants. 2. AIRPORT LIMO BUS no 6015 from INCHEON AIRPORT stops right at the hotel entrance, both to and fro trips. it is 15,000 won per person and very convienent mode of transport( the drivers know this hotel as HOTEL KUKUDO) 3. THE concierge staff both day and night shifs were very helpful, friendly and fluent in english. 4. the hotel provides free shuttle bus to select stops in the city but only on week days and does not include return to the hotel. 5. there is a convienence store in the hotel, which is very handy for small items and you can heat your food and take it up to your room. 6. rooms are functional and good. NEGATIVE. 1. the hotel restaurants close early by 10.30 pm as well as room service. this could be hasseled for guest checking post 10.30. 2. breakfast offered is rather repatitive with same items on menu each day and no brown bread/ fresh fruit available. 3. hotel is surrounded by shops dealing in furniture,lights etc...there are very little eating options near the hotel less

My mother and I stayed here last week for 4 days and while I have mainly positive things to say about the Concierge staff and the room, I am a bit disappointed by the front desk staff who I found to be quite snappy, to the point where I didn't even really want to interact with them. My mother and I made the reservation through Best Western corporate and we were told that breakfast was included. Obviously being abroad and being out and about, breakfast is quite important, especially in the SK/Japanese summer humidity. Came to find out that was apparently a lie and breakfast was not included. Buffet is 19000 Won PP. I was also recommended the Seoul City Tour by the concierge desk when I asked about going to Bukchon cultural village, and that ended up being a complete waste of time and money. But, now that we've got the negatives out of the way, the hotel is super nice, updated and clean. Honestly, the rooms are better than mine at home. The hotel is also conveniently right next to the airport bus pickup point which costs 15000 pp. The hotel offers a shuttle to Myeongdong, however for some reason they don't pickup from there, so you have to walk or get an uber back, bit stupid IMO, another negative. Some people here have complained about it being in a bad location, I disagree, Kukdo is literally in the heart of Seoul and prime location. Only issue with location is they don't pick you back up after being dropped off by a shuttle. In conclusion, great hotel and great location, for the price and the quality of the rooms, it's really hard to beat. Certainly as clean and almost as nice as the Hilton Tokyo which costs about 500USD a night, so for this price, I say go for it if you're visiting Seoul. less

All went perfectly with our stay. Rooms are pleasant, staff is great and helpful. The hotel, not having top location is just by the subway so you can move around the city easily. The value is there so it's a good option. less

We stayed four nights a pleasant stay. Staff extremely helpful! The convenience store in lobby a great idea. A great hotel for a business stay. Restaurant for breakfast wonderful with a range of foods to suit anyone. Rooms clean, comfortable and good natural light. Lifts very fast. The fitness centre is well equipped. The attached traditional bathhouse, free to hotel patrons, an interesting experience. Easy walking to Dongdaemun, Myeong-dong, Cheonggyecheon stream, and Namsan. less
