Bathroom24 mentions · 3 filmed
- “The bathtub on the right is a good width, but a little short in length. It's not bad for a 160cm tall woman, but it might be a little small for a larger man.” 17
- “There is a removable seat in the bathtub should you want to submerge your entire body. It was a godsend to be able to take a warm soak and relieve any fatigue after a long day exploring Seoul. I made use of it every night without fail.” 19
- “My stay in the premium room offered lively city views, a lovely Hinoki bath for that calming onsen experience, a relaxing rain shower, and an indulgent king-sized bed.” 8

- “The bathroom was spacious for an East Asian hotel and impeccably clean when we arrived. The toilet here was equipped with a nice bidet.” 19

- “Overall, the bathroom was spacious, stylish, and clean. The view from the bathtub was quite nice.” On camera73:45
- “Rooms are nice and clean, but the shower and sink is in the main living area. So if you like privacy when you undress, you may not get it.” 5

- “The bathroom space is quite tight, and it comes with an old-school bathtub.” 4
- “The standing shower space is very spacious behind a nicely enclosed glass door that prevents water from getting over the place.” 9
- “My bathroom was large, with a combo shower-bathtub and plenty of counter space. Bathroom amenities are plant based, with refillable containers instead of more wasteful single-use products.” 13

- “In the middle of the restaurant, there is a live station that you can order eggs from. They were delicious.” 9

- “The main restaurant was nicely redone and looks more like what a Voco should look like.” 11
- “The buffet is not bad, with a central buffet and several made-to-order stations including for eggs, noodle soup and more. They even offer your choice of crispy or soft bacon, as well as the crunchiest hash browns you've ever tried:” 14
- “The evening happy hours were also fantastic, with free spirits and plenty of snacks - while it's advertised as light snacks, it made a full dinner for me, with everything from japchae to pastries to marinated tofu, chips and hummus, spring rolls, and lots of cheese and vegetables.” 13

- “The concept is inspired by nearby Namdaemun Market, blending international dishes with Korean influences - though expectations should be calibrated. This is hotel dining done competently rather than boldly.” 4

- “Here are some pictures of the breakfast. You can find the salad bar with both fresh vegetables and premade salad, fresh fruits, cold cuts and pastries near the entrance. The almond pastries are very good and fresh.” 9
- “Breakfast served here is decent rather than spectacular. You get a mix of Western staples (eggs, pastries, cereals), Korean items like soups and local side dishes and fruits and coffee that does the job.” 4
- “The morning spread is a mix of international cuisines featuring waffles, pastries, charcuterie and cheese, salad varieties, the usual buffet of bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, coffee, and tea, and a couple of Korean dishes. It's pretty standard stuff, but having a made-to-order egg station is divine.” 8
- “The main buffet line is located in the corner. The selection is quite good with a good number of hot dishes. It is not overly huge but everything is high quality and delicious.” 9
- “The restaurant is very gorgeous and vibrant as well.” 9
Service26 mentions · 3 filmed

- “When checking in, the front desk staff will explain all the accommodation information in detail, and you can also store your luggage for free after checking out. The service is efficient and professional.” 2
- “The reception was really friendly and nice, and allowed us to check in at 10am - but this could just be due to us having status with Marriott Bonvoy and having a toddler with us. We were also given a high floor room (lvl 25) with an awesome view of N Seoul tower.” 5

- “And check out the view, guys. Facing the mountain, quite nice.” On camera64:02

- “I got 25th floor corner room & view was nice 🤩” 5
- “I stayed at the Four Points Josun Myeongdong for 10 nights in early November in a Deluxe guest room and I loved it. I found the hotel to be clean, the room size more than adequate.” 5
- “But I'd recommend heading to the outdoor terrace in the evenings for chill vibes. With the twinkle of fairy lights and the crackle of the fireplace, it's a sweet spot to lounge and watch the city quieten down for the night.” 8
- “It was a half hearted and very cheap renovation by the owners. More window dressing than a complete renovation. A lot of the old Korean business hotel roots are still there.” 11
- “Most of the room types have moderate space and can easily open two large suitcases.” 2
- “The room condition is very good, and the soundproofing is good.” 18
- “I personally don't like fabric materials, but the sofa here was very clean.” 18
Noise8 mentions
- “The soundproofing is very good, and the curtains completely block the sunlight.” 18
- “The soundproofing of the room is quite good.” 18
- “I like the vibe of L7 as well. You are close to the main drag, but far enough that you don't hear the noise.” 5
- “The soundproofing isn't very good too and sometimes you can hear noise from the corridor.” 9
- “The only thing here to be aware of is that theres a new building constructing next to it so it "could" be noisy. It wasn't noisy for us at all tho.” 5
- “The rooms themselves were quiet since the area around the hotel is less touristy than Myeongdong. There is a laundry facility in the building. My only complaint were the very slow elevators.” 5

Value5 mentions
- “Given how expensive Seoul hotels are, it is a good compromise if you are an IHG elite member. Although it is out of the core tourist area, you will have no trouble getting around with the metro station nearby and affordable taxis in Seoul.” 9
- “I recently stayed at the Nine trees by Parnas for 4 nights .. 11th floor decent clean room with view down the night market street (see photo) Locker room with free coffee on same floor . I thought was very good value .. no musty odor and great location ..” 5
- “The pricing is very fair as well.” 9
