​Stay Duration: 6 nights Pros: The rooms were decently nice, but that’s where the compliments end. ​If you enjoy being nickel-and-dimed by a supposedly premium hotel, then Oakwood Premier Coex is the place for you. For anyone else? Avoid this place. ​The "Premium" Room Disappointment ​While the rooms look nice at first glance, they are incredibly under-appointed for a hotel of this caliber. They provide the absolute bare minimum to get by. During a week-long stay, the frustrations really started to pile up: ​No USB chargers anywhere in the room (in 2026, this is ridiculous). ​No bathroom scales. ​No milk provided with the complimentary tea and coffee. ​The 32 AUD Milk Scandal ​The absolute kicker happened at checkout. Because the room lacked basic milk for the tea and coffee they provided, we called front desk and asked them to bring some up. We assumed this was standard hospitality. ​It wasn't. ​At the end of our holiday, we checked the final bill and discovered we were charged 32,000KRW (roughly 32 Australian Dollars) just for the milk they brought up. Charging over $30 AUD for a splash of milk across a seven-night stay is an absolute, daylight-robbery rip-off. It’s not about the money; it’s the sheer principle of petty greed. ​Final Verdict ​The lack of basic room features like USB ports and scales was annoying, but the petty hidden fees left a truly awful taste in our mouths. Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else that actually understands the concept of hospitality. I would not recommend staying here.

The perfect finish to my Korea trip. Quiet luxury which is becoming hard to find in 5*s. Service, kindness of staff, privacy and an unexpected room upgrade with great view. Location is prime too. Will be my first choice if I'm ever back to Seoul.
