I originally planned to book a twin room, but there was a room available that could accommodate 3 people, so I stayed there with my family for 2 nights.The room was modern and spacious, with a washlet toilet and a spacious bathtub, but I was disappointed that there was no shower curtain.Also, the noise from the room next door bothered me a lot.However, I think it is a convenient location for sightseeing around Gangnam as it is close to the nearby station.I have to get used to the slopes though

It’s a 3 star hotel and the hotel reflected that. The room is what expected; however, the AC filter was dirty so we have to take it down and clean it ourselves. Front desk isn’t very friendly, we booked for 17 days, arrived two hours early and the room is ready but we have to pay extra to get the key. To get the second key we have to deposit $10.000 KRW.The location is great, many restaurants and really near the transit station. Relatively speaking, the price is fair if you compare to US prices. The price is all over the place; from my experience it’s most expensive if you go to hotel’s website, a little cheaper through Booking.com or Expedia, we have a local book for us and it’s cheaper yet. Would I stay here again? Hmm, it’s a 50/50 depending on the price I can get I guess.

This is the most comfortable medical aesthetics clinic I have ever been to. They will not sell products randomly. They will respond carefully to any projects they want to do. Everyone is very kind and patient, and the doctor is as perfect as an angel! I highly recommend all Taiwanese to come here for a swim!Reassuring and pleasant 😍😍😍 will take you very carefully before and after surgery.I came here with Yi Shun😃😃😃😃

My child had LASIK and I had an upper eyelid surgery, so I came here on vacation.. I felt bad that they were only playing good music with the curtains closed, but I disparaged my husband's commute to and from Shinnonhyeon, where it's easy to go anywhere.. 😀

Advantage:Nice hotel, 2 main road sides. Nice, modern room, with bathtub.The balcony next door has a bakery, decorated with many green trees, making it great to sit and drink coffee in the morningThe hotel is located in GangNam District. Around the hotel 100m there are many restaurants, bars, pubs. There are many big fashion brands 300m or 500m away. Busy shopping area.Weakness:The hotel does not clean the room or change the water.Breakfast is very simple, dishes do not change every dayThe hotel does not have toothbrushes and toothpaste, they are sold at the vending counter

There was a problem with the water pipes at my house, so I made a quick reservation and checked in even though it was right in front of my house. It took a while to get my luggage out of the parking lot because of my wheelchair (it took 3-5 minutes), but the staff kept asking me when to get my car out and helped me, which I didn't expect since it's a 3-star rating,,,, but I didn't know they would go this far,,, I was alone in a wheelchair. Aside from the luggage, it was very difficult. The early check-in fee was 20,000 won to check in an hour early, and the room had mold in the bathroom, water on the floor, and facilities and services that didn't seem to be 3-star. I didn't tell the front desk because I would be out right away if I fixed the water pipe in the morning anyway. Looking at the reviews, everyone is talking about the same problem, so if it's a problem, it's okay to say it..! It was about 120,000 won per night, but if you are thinking about staying here, keep this in mind! The location is the best,,,

It's a very basic hotel that comes with queen size n single bed, good for 3 pax sharing. Remember to ask the front desk to tidy the room, else it will be left unattended n no fresh towels also. I guess ask and then they give. They also did not top up tea bags n coffee even if you stay 3 nights. Frontdesk staff are all grumpy and tiried looking also.... Haven't seen any of them smile throughout the 3 days stay there. Room also don't have the clean feel.But superb location as it is just on the Gangnam food street, and you will be tempted by so much food. We ended up having as much 6 meals for a day. Unhealthy living but yolo

Hotels staff are so rude btw! No hospitality. No skills. They can’t even understand basic English. It’s my first time in Korea and I literally have a bad impression about Korea now.
