The J. A. T.

Negatives- It’s very dated and you can’t see its age. It seems like MWR is not updating it almost like they’ll be closing it. The roof was leaking in the Subway/ Pizza Hut, the elevators make a scary creaky/ grinding sound, the playground area looks 20 years old, the fountains are all drained by the kid area, the pool was okay but the outdoor jacuzzi was broken, the room was fairly clean but dated and they required a family of five get two rooms even though er could easily have fit in one. The mini exchange is way over priced and the restaurants were all way over priced for the quality of food, unfortunately. They charged $7 for a bowl of plain cereal with milk on the children’s menu so that was disappointing. You can’t hook up tablets or your phone to screencast so if Joy have littles who get up early, no movie/ Sesame Street time so you can sleep and only AFN (all off except for Fox thanks to the shutdown) and the KBS Channels.

Positives- Front desk was really helpful. The Discover Seoul folks were wonderful while helping us plan tours to see the area and find things we wanted to see. The service at Green Street Cafe was very good and we enjoyed all our servers and the buffet was okay (and kids under 5 eat free), but it’s not as varied/ fancy as New Sanno in Tokyo and about 10 times the cost to stay here. The location is good for access to the city and attractions and they’ll plan out itineraries or get you on a tour bus to see it all. The City Tour was wonderful and we thought we’d see 4-5 spots and ends up going to 7! The DMZ tour was quick and a little sad, but even with the somber atmosphere it was informative and our guide was great. Our rooms looked out on the Seoul Tower and the working fountain you can’t see from the lobby/ atrium.

Overall, it’s a good spot for vacation if you get a good deal but a civilian hotel may be cheaper and fancier with the won rate.

This is perhaps the best tour/trip we have ever taken. We arrived as guests at the DHL but left as "family". I can't say enough about the friendly staff, the wonderful tours and tour guides, and the hotel manager (Brian Campbell) who was involved in every aspect of the hotel from managing to helping the staff clear tables when the restaurant was busy. Definitely a hands-on manager highly respected by his staff. The hotel is very clean with great dining options. The rooms are a bit dated but clean and very adequate (we stayed in a "standard" room. I would highly recommend the "Seoul Escapes" program - excellent value and a wonderful experience.

Dragon Hill Lodge is similar to New Sanno in Tokyo. I had a king room which was spacious and included a kitchenette with microwave and larger refrigerator. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. I enjoyed my stay with no problems. Use taxi reservation if you have an earlier flight. Lots of cafes and shops inside the hotel along with gym, pool, and massage parlor.

AFRC hotel on the mostly empty US Yongsan Army facilities. Nice hotel and good services plus easy access to downtown Seoul.

I'm having a hard time believing the 5 star reviews. Just left the hotel after a 3 night stay. You have to walk a mile to get anywhere. The rooms are musty and the carpet was disgusting. I emailed the hotel 3 months ago asking if they had a room for 3 adults. I received a reply with yes and after I sent my cc# I had a confirmation. We were put in a room with 1 King bed and the guy at the front desk said I should have been more specific. 3 adults wasn't specific enough. There were no other rooms available so we ended up with a roll away bed. The food is mediocre and way overpriced. $17 for a crappy hamburger is not okay. And there is no where close to grab food. I was at least looking forward to going in the hot tub with my husband. That didn't happen because the hot tubs are in the locker rooms and the one in the ladies room wasn't working. The lobby is pretty, there's a shoppette that saved us and the price is ok. Overall it was more of an inconvenience and I would rather have stayed at a Korean hotel. I read another post that someone felt really safe there. Korea is overall very safe.
