The hotel room was more than twice the size of most hotel rooms. The hotel and the room was beautiful. I would love to go back. Another plus was the staff. The concierge Belle Gal was amazing. Price, location and service were top notch.

The room was very spacious and the interior is very luxurious. The breakfast was nice and the 'happy hour' was very generous. However given he cost and star level of the hotel I would expect improved amenities. The towels were a little small and there was only one set of sockets by the bed to charge devices. Despite two TVs in the room there was no English speaking channels or access to apps. Compared to other hotels at this levels it was slightly lacking.

We really enjoyed our stay at L’Escape Hotel. We upgraded our room to a suite which was spacious and well appointed. The club floor amenities included a buffet breakfast that had a wide array of options to select from. including both Asian and western inspired choices as well as made to order dishes. There was also a snack time offering and a happy hour which included premium beverages and a plentiful choice of food options. The staff in the club lounge were terrific, always with a smiling face and a warm welcome. The arranged transportation by the hotel to and from the airport was excellent. We look forward to returning on our next visit.

Gorgeous Hotel. Staff was excellent, and spoke great English. Is it overpriced? Yes. But that’s the idea of 5 star Hotels. Price out the broke folk who minimize the experience for others. I have no desire to go back to Seoul, as it is my opinion that it is the most superficial society on the planet, but if I did, the L’Escape is where I would stay.

Paris meets technology. “Hey, Genie” will open curtains, turn off lights and lots more. I could request extra water (free), towels, vanity kit, sewing kit and more. This hotel features lots of French decorations. Even elevator announcements were in Korean and French. This hotel offered super quiet nights ever. I love the location since it’s near Namdaemoon market 남대문, Myoung dong and unseating all within walking distance. Hotel maybe small but it offered and located in perfect place for my trip. Also staff are friendly and I can just push a bottom for make room. It can’t get any better than that. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to visit myoung dong to stay here.

Huge room with really nice decor. The happy hour and breakfast provided as part of lounge access was excellent, worth the extra cost. Service was great, I asked for iron and ironing board and they were at my door in a couple minutes. The only down side is that they had this huge bath tub but didn’t provide any soup or bath salts. The only soap was mounted to the wall in the shower. The gym was not huge but had enough equipment to get a good workout.

Fantastic hotel! I'ts French rather than Korean themed but the decor is so nice and they have the fancy toilets with the heated seats etc. We had robes, slippers etc. We used the swish cocktail bar but can't comment on the food. The location was a straight, short walk to our tour pick ups near Myeongdong station and close to the street food market. Don't waste your money on transfers, we booked a taxi to the cruise terminal and we had a really posh car for £25, granted traffic wasn't too bad

I gave a 4 for staff as I did not find one of the ladies in the concierge team as helpful and I don’t want to insunuate she does that because we were blacks. I have seen her smilie and chatty with two ladies from the united state but whenever she is on the stand and myself or my friends go to her she sounds cold and impatient that she one time called a cab to take us to a wrong place due to not patiently listening to what we wanted to ask. It’s a beautiful hotel, good location to luxury shopping and traditional markets. I would stay again if I ever visit Seoul
