I’ve stayed at IP several times, and I think this will be my last. I usually stay there because it’s close to a fun neighborhood, but IP is starting to show its age and laziness in customer service. For the room, the carpet is pretty old and feels dirty, and the toilet bidet didn’t work. Thanks for the good times IP, but you’ve lost a good VIP client.

Nonsmoking signs are prominent at imperial palace boutique hotel but the rooms and hallways reek of cigarette smoke. The carpet and rugs were either stained or dirty. Staff were okay, did not provide excellent service. Room was humid, damp, smelled of mold, toilet was dirty and clothes/sheets/towels were always a bit damp due to the humidity in the room? Asked for another room but was told it was max capacity and no other rooms were available. Location is good but that is the only saving grace for this stay. Would not book again mainly due to air quality and hotel building condition.

The carpets in the room and overall the hotel were extremely dirty. I felt like we were at a motel. We ended up loosing a night we’d already paid for in order to Move to a safer neighborhood and cleaner hotel. The room is full of mirrors, inside the shower area, ceiling etc , gives you a felling like someone is constantly watching you.

Hotel was very quiet with a fun sort of style. Coffee maker leaked water, which I reported to the front desk, but it never got fixed. Very close to Itaewon party center and “the hill.” Overall, we were very happy with the place and would definitely stay there again.
