Nice cozy and helpful hotel

This is a hotel located in the kangnam financial and business district. It is a decent hotel with clean beds and nicely sized rooms. Their recently renovated restaurant is quite nice with all the right trimmings and more. Much more than you would get at the others such as Renaissance Hotel, a few blocks down (which I would discourage). They have a nice sauna, a swimming pool, and gym. Internet was difficult to use though - I would get frequent disconnects in my room using the wireless. I did not try the wireline. Also, I was disappointed that during the lunar new year, they did not allow us use of the executive lounge services which we paid for but did not get. We instead got coupons for sodas or simple coffee in the main lounge which was far below the service offerings offered in their executive - not anything close to comparable. This was poorly planned.

Very clean hotel. In a very hilly

Very clean hotel. In a very hilly location (good exercise) has a lot of good restraunts nearby (10 minute walk). Average breakfast but very helpful and kind staff. Pool was out of action so a bit dissapointed. Not much shopping in the area...Comfortable room but a little on the small side.

中は非常に綺麗で高級感もあり、感動しました。 立地は、駅から徒歩5分くらいですが、坂を上るのだけがつらかったくらいです。 駅周辺は、週末のせいかかなり盛り上がっており、 環境も含めて◎でした。

まず、驚いたのはスタンダードで予約をしたのにホテルのご好意か

まず、驚いたのはスタンダードで予約をしたのにホテルのご好意か?お部屋をアップグレードしてくれました。 また禁煙フロアでもありとても好感を持てました。機会があればまた利用したいホテルです。お値段も設備や広さの割にはお得感があります。

3泊お世話になりました。漢南駅から10~15分ほど歩きますが、周りにはたくさんのレストランやショッピングエリアがあり便利です。KALが停まるのも選んだ理由です。1階のGranAというライブバーでは、Happy Hourがあり、ビール&ワイン飲み放題1人21000ウォン(TAX込)軽食付きも格安で高級感を味わえて良かったです。プール、ジム、サウナも使いましたが、思いのほかとても清潔でリラックスできました。サウナ等は朝6時からオープンで、地元のエグゼクティブたちが出勤前に利用していて、とても落ち着いた雰囲気で、スーパー銭湯気分で朝晩利用したので、部屋のシャワーはほとんど使いませんでした(笑)

割安に宿泊できました。 最寄駅からは遠く、しかも割と急な坂

割安に宿泊できました。 最寄駅からは遠く、しかも割と急な坂を登り切った場所にあるため、徒歩移動を考えている人には不便かも知れません。 タクシー等の車移動がお勧めです。 上層階でも、目の前にちょうどオフィスビルがあって南山タワーが見えませんでした。 ただ、サービスや対応は良くて、言ったことに対する呑みこみも早くて印象は良かったです。
