Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel Itaewon offers guests modern, spacious rooms, some with nice views from higher floors. Many appreciate the convenience of having a coffee machine in the room. Its location in Itaewon puts you close to many food eateries and cafes, and the metro is within walking distance for accessing all parts of Seoul, though some weekend noise from nearby clubs has been noted by a few guests. The fitness room is a definite plus.

poor cleanlinessdark spots

I have to say, the cleanliness was not great. I noticed the cleaning staff consisted of only one person per floor, it was unusual. When I dropped something under the bed, I found items from previous guests and quite a lot of dust. The carpet had several dark spots, and the walls needed a better cleaning, I was disappointed.
