This hotel is in an excellent location, with all three palaces within easy reach, along with numerous local restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Getting around Seoul by taxi was also very convenient. Every staff member, including the housekeeping team, was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Seoul!

Bed and room was clean and modern. Nice sink area separate from toilet and shower, a desk & side table and so on. Outlets already had adapters so our US plugs worked directly. Kettle in room, microwave and water dispenser near elevators. Gym is amazing, all new things and 4 treadmills, rowing machines, bikes, many weight machines. Didn't get the breakfast because price is high and cafes are around the corners but many people were going. Coin op laundry 8k won for wash & dry, 2 machines each. Very quiet, never heard neighbors a single time. Quick walk to gwangjang market, lots of bus service nearby. Would happily stay here again.

Also about a 15 minute walk to Gwangjang Market and 20-25mins to Dongdaemun. The area itself is nice and quiet for a good nights sleep, the room is clean and spacious.

The room was big and perfect for a family with young kids. Bunk beds and a very large king size bed. The main area had a dining table and sink which was perfect for getting some yoghurt, fresh fruit and veggies into the kids at breakfast, when there's nothing else really open. Great central location, without being too busy like Myeongdong, made it really easy and affordable with young kids to get around by car. The staff were really friendly and always accommodating

The level and quality of generous customer service and support received at the Orakai exceeds that of even high-end hotels in the US. An excellent and relaxing environment. We stayed for 12 comfortable days. Thank you, Orakai Team!

This hotel was premium quality for a very reasonable price. I stayed for almost two weeks and had zero complaints - staff were super friendly and helpful, rooms and amenities were clean and well maintained. The cleaning staff were particularly helpful and friendly - when I ran into them in the hallway they always had a smile and asked if I needed anything even on days when we didn't request a room refresh. Highly recommend this property, especially if you want to be close to the palaces and central Seoul.

Staff are nice but made a mistake to consolidate my two reservations in one same room. The most difficult is staying in their room with unexpected high temperature. Already shut down the central cooling and the room was heated to 28C even in Oct & Nov so our staying in the room was so unpleasant. After complain, told us to keep the window open(my room was on 13th fl) and got us a fan…

The hotel is well run and staff are very helpful. Our room was comfortable and met all needs. The hotel has the best gym I’ve ever seen at a hotel, it is as good as any professional gym you’d find and pay high rates for when away from home, provided free as part of the stay. Breakfasts at the dining room were excellent. The only negative is that the hotel promised a sauna and spa area which looks excellent in their publicity, but was in fact closed for the entirety of our two week stay.

Our first room has a dysfunctional shower where water was leaking into the toilet area. The staff then moved us to a room that had gnats in the shower and asked us if we’d like them to spray something ti get rid of them. We asked for a different room, so we were downgraded to a smaller room with a lower floor and worse view. When asked if there was a price difference for the downgrade, the staff stated the size difference wasn’t significant enough for a price change. We got the economy room which means they only clean our room on specific days. On the days they did clean,it was subpar. Instead of refilling our shampoo and conditioner bottles, they placed extra bottles (I’ve never seen a hotel do this before) so we had a total of 5 bottles of product in our shower. My blanket also had short straight hairs all over it after it had been made by housekeeping which was odd because I have long, curly hair. The location is not great either because there is no subway entrance nearby. You have to walk at least 10 minutes. The only public transportation available is bus which is still a 5-6 minute walk which feels far if you’re visiting in the summer heat. Overall the experience was subpar and I would not stay here again.

Very nice , modern property. Spacious rooms with good WiFi. The gym is great for a hotel. The staff is helpful and friendly. For an extra charge you can get an early check in
They have a water refill station and a convenience store next door.
The bed is very comfy and you sleep well
One small thing to consider their room service is limited, it’s not easy to order in. For diner You will need to take a cab or walk for an area with food, otherwise, the convenience store is a good substitute . But they are located near all the busy areas for dinner and during the day you have a lot of great places to eat and get a coffee

Great facilities. Hotel has an attached Illy Cafe which was nice, especially on rainy days if you didn't want to step out. Gym was well equippped too and had eveything my wife and I would of wanted. Nice room, clean, comfortable bed and pillows and the black out curtains made well for extra sleep. A lot of outlets to charge multiple phones and devices like my wife and I had plus an included wireless charger they have installed themselves. Shower has two different heads especially the overhead rain option and always enjoy having a bidet that had english translation as well. Only downside was that the room had very little storage or closet space. Had I stayed longer than 4 nights, we probably would of had to use our luggage as that just because its Seoul and youre destined to go shopping. Very quiet and safe area as well with 24 hour convenience stores around and an Olive Young as well in case you forgot necessities. Staff all spoke good english and were extremely proficient in what they do. Would stay again!

Really nice modern hotel! Best gym with all new equipments, room was very nice and bed super comfortable. While I didn’t have the food, restaurant menu looked appealing - Malatang / Chinese style!

Let down was the fact sauna / spa was under renovation. Had this been open this would be one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in!

Another let down was the Illy cafe onsite. I’ve had illy coffee in Australia before but this one in Seoul was a big let down. I had Americano but it tasted like cheap powdered and watered down coffee.

Overall 5 star experience! I’d come back here next time esp if the sauna / spa is operational!

Enjoyed our stay at Orakai, staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we found out after we got to our room that they do not run AC in April. I sleep hot, so had to leave the windows opened at night. This was the first hotel I’ve stayed at that did not allow us to turn on the AC. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. My husband and I were near where we wanted to be, nice walk to Inksedong, Insadong, and Bukchon. The restaurants close by close early on the weekend, so you need to go a little further for food. During the weekdays, restaurants stayed opened a little later.

I found difficulty in choosing hotels in Seoul.
This hotel is comparatively more modern. I am surprised to find a big gym here. A convenience store within 30 second walk.

However, this hotel is not close to the subway and a bit quiet nearby. Plus Google map didn’t work well in Seoul, causing me took Uber always for safety issue.
Found one piece of hair in the toilet and one on the wash basin.

With limited choice of hotels in Seoul, I guess it’s a good option?
