I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was spacious with older style furniture, and the bathroom was very spacious with separate shower areas. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very helpful and providing valuable assistance. The location was convenient and atypical for a business area. The dining experience was good but had some drawbacks. Overall, a decent value for money.
The hotel offers nice rooms with friendly services. They are very comfortable and thoughtfully designed, featuring shelves, a luggage counter, mini-bar, kettle, and electrical outlets suitable for North American markets. The spacious room includes a very spacious bathroom, ensuring a comfortable stay overall. However, the location is a little off the beaten path despite being near a metro station.
The hotel is situated in an atypical business area, a little off the beaten path but still close enough to transport options. The rooms are spacious and modern with a comfy bed, smart toilet, and separate shower. However, there is no air-conditioning, and the hotel has very few power outlets which can be inconvenient. The dining experience offers really good food, but the restaurant may rush guests out. The location provides a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city, ideal for those seeking a peaceful stay.
The hotel has friendly staff and a convenient location, making it a great choice. The rooms were comfortable, but some were tired and worn. The dining experience was mostly good, but there were issues with charges. Overall, a good value for money option.
On a special day, the hotel rooms were very comfortable and thoughtfully designed with many amenities like shelves, luggage counter, mini bar, kettle, and electrical outlets for North American markets. However, the lack of air-conditioning and very few power outlets could be improved. The room itself was large, with a desk, 2 large cupboards, a very comfy bed, and a bathroom with separate shower, smart toilet, and sink areas.
The hotel is in a very convenient location in the Gangnam Gu area, away from the city's hustle and bustle but close to transportation options. It offers a great value for accommodation in one of the world's most expensive cities. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but some may find the older style furniture and occasional smell off-putting. The service provided by the staff is exceptionally helpful and courteous, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel is useful for my visiting time, with hot rooms that have little air from windows. The service was very helpful and kind, assisting in reservations and taxis. The location is excellent and very convenient, away from the city's hustle but close to transport. The dining offers a mix of western and eastern choices, with amazing dishes.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with useful amenities, but securing an available room required some effort. The service was friendly and helpful, especially in providing useful information and assistance despite language barriers. The location, although slightly off the beaten path, was convenient for accessing various attractions. However, the dining experience had its ups and downs, offering enjoyable dishes but with unexpected charges. The facilities met my expectations, offering a good stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious and well-equipped, showed signs of wear and tear. The service was inconsistent, with some staff members being very friendly while others seemed clueless. The location, although central, lacked nearby amenities like bars and restaurants. The dining was good overall, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were nice and definitely a place I would go back to thanks to the friendly services provided. The bed was very comfy, and the bathroom had a separate shower, smart toilet, and sink areas which I found convenient during my 4-day stay. The room remained unchanged throughout the entire period, maintaining consistency.
