Top Gwangju Hotel Reviews

The Westin Josun Seoul

The Westin Josun Seoul

10/10 Excellent
"Westin Josun Seoul — A Refined Take on a Seoul Staycation Just back from a staycation at the Westin Josun Seoul, and it more than delivered. The location is unbeatable, a 5-minute walk to Myeongdong, putting an incredible spread of restaurants and shopping right at your doorstep, perfect for anyone wanting their staycation to double as a food and retail adventure. Service was immaculate from check-in to check-out, and housekeeping was consistently excellent throughout the stay. The only drawback is that the furnishings show the hotel's age in places, which is understandable given its heritage. That said, it barely takes away from the overall experience. For travellers looking for a different kind of staycation, one centred on location, dining, and top-tier service rather than flashy newness, this is hands down one of the best options in Seoul. #seoul #korea #staycation #westin"
