The photos are extremely deceiving

Our initial room was dirty and had a condom on the windowsill. They gave us a better room but still the condition of the hotel does not look anything like the photos.

In general, the property appears to be in better shape than the rooms. The room in which I stayed had some a nice television, toilet, sink area and show. The over-sized tube was difficult to access. The lighting was not laid out well in the room. The linens for the bed looked overly used and gray (originally white). There was one window in the room. It was positioned in the corner of the bathroom with no view; as was advertised on Expedia. That was a very big disappointment to me. The cushion of the sitting area covered with a fabric which felt cheap.

A nice posh interior different from your standard hotel decor. Room is a bit dark even with the lights on but I guess that is on purpose to create a certain mood. Wish there was a proper window with natural light coming in so if you're claustrophobic then it might be a good idea to look elsewhere.

We LOVE this hotel!

We were very pleased with everything this hotel offered. It was clean, modern and more importantly near our family. It was located near the city but at the same time far enough away from the city to enjoy the non-touristy areas of Seoul. Transportation was near along with plenty of places to eat around the clock. A grocery store that is open 24/7 is conveniently located nextdoor. We were impressed with how energy efficient the rooms were. With that being said, we would suggest adding a card to place on the bed letting the housekeepers know not to replace the sheets; this would help in saving water use. This card method can also be applied with the towels. If they are hanging, don’t replace, if on the floor, replace.

stayed a week

bed was bit hard but everything was clean and neat. happy with the stay. I don't think staffs are good at speaking english much enough to communicate. we had a broken light bulb and they fixed it straight away. it's not in the city centre but 10-15mins from the gangnam area and 5 mins to kondae area. if you want to go to hongdae&sinchon it'll be bit too far. there is a 24hrs supermarket right next door and heaps of convenience stores around.

Romantic Stay

Overall GREAT hotel if you go with one of the suits. Bed was king size, deep/big tub in bathroom (im 6'2 or 74in). The area didnt seem to be good for visitors due to everything looking like residential homes. This is not the place to stay if you want to party/club/drink all night. However, romantic get away.... YES!
