Stayed for two weeks with my wife

Stayed for two weeks with my wife and 4 kids. Nice hotel. Very clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bed is a bit firm, but I think that is a Korean thing. Shower was great with good pressure and hot water. Airport bus #6010 drops off and picks up right in front of the hotel. Cost is 15,000 won (about $15 US). Taxis were always available in front of the hotel. Cost to take one to COEX is about 2,500 won for the 3-5 minute ride. It seemed to me the hotels at the COEX were alot more expensive. There are little convenience stores nearby as well as a number of restaraunts in the area. You have to be 13 years old to use the gym/pool. Subway is a bit of a walk, but that is what you do in Seoul, or you can just take taxis - the drivers all seem to know the hotel, and if not they all have GPS in their taxis now. All in all we had a good stay and would definately consider staying at this hotel again.

See you again~

My trip was a short, weekend trip. I spent only one night at the hotel, but it was just what I wanted. Lovely room, big bed and it all felt very comfortable. I checked in, put my bags in my room and left to explore. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was quite a variety of guests staying at the hotel and it was fun talking with them. My previous trips to Seoul were spent in a hostel or jjimjilbang. I'm pretty sure I will be staying at this hotel again.

Good hotel, Good enough location

My hotel room (a double bed) was very clean and quite nice. Internet speed was fast. The water pressure in the shower was strong (a pet peeve of mine). In terms of location it is okay. It is a bit of a walk to Coex, but certainly not too bad. You are also quite close to Apjoojeung and there appeared to be some bars/clubs in the more immediate vicinity. It is a little pricey for what it is, and I would probably recommend the IBIS as a better value (though the rooms are not quite as nice).

Hotel Riviera Seoul

Breakfast was not good and paying for Internet should change. The gym cost $9 and this should be included in the room rate, but the pool was great and the dinner was great. Businees centre computers need work.

Hotel Riviera

The hotel is very nice in a good part of Seoul with easy access from either Incheon or Gimpo airports. The fitness center is absolutely fantastic. It is a complete gym with an indoor driving range.
