Near the Subway
Complete with Appliances Doesn't have Lotion
Lacks choices with Breakfast Buffet We booked through AGODA that's why we had no problems with checking in & out.
It was just unfortunate that it was the coldest time in Seoul when we got there, the temperature even dipped to Negative 6 & there was no snow!
The hotel is around 10 mins from Sinnonhyeon Subway Station & 5 mins from a convenience store, Buy the Way. Despite the uncooperative weather, we were still able to visit Aiin's World,
Lotte's World, the Catholic Church in Myeong-dong, Insadong Market, & the Korean Folk Village where the Jewel in the Palace teleseries was shot. The next time we'll be planning to go there on the 2nd half of October when the weather is nice & it will be Autumn/Fall.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Go to Lotte's World early so you can enjoy/get your money's worth. I's relatively cheap sa compared to Disneyland & Ocean Park-only around a third of what you pay for Disneyland. They have lots of shows but most of them are in Korean only. With regard the rides, there are a lot!!!

Located nearby subway,in room there're applliance like as home,it's very peaceful place in city. Only 2x500ml. bottles of water for 2-3 days staying. It's very peaceful place ,clean room,more appliance like as home. It's conveniece to take subway linked to other place. In bathroom, there' no safe locked door. It's good for staying with family or closed freind or familiar group.
Shopping Tip : DongDaeMon is wholesale market like a Sampeng or Bobae in Thailand. if you are shopalholic you should go to MaendDong Market only.

extremely clean
comforatable
friendly and helpful I found no problems during my stay This hotel was extremely well located within 2 minutes from the airport rail link. It is situated in a busy and interesting area with a choice of shopping, restaurants and convenience stores near by. The rooms were well maintained with excellent cleanliness and contained all necessary items for a comfortable stay. The breakfast gave a good choice of food types. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Large Rooms, clean, fully equipped. Slow elevators, weak breakfast Stayed for 6 days at the Dormy Inn, alot of my friends stayed at the Ritz across the street, all were envious after seeing my room and the price I paid. Service was really nice. Breakfast was a problem since I showed up 1 hour before they were about to close they really didn't have much to offer. A bonus is that they are across the hottest club in Seoul. it's within walking distance of the subway so that was great.

Nice location. New part of town. Good facilities. Amongst locals and tourists alike. Bit far to walk to get to places especially if you are not a walker. Trains and malls not near by. Not particularly in the middle of anywhere central but a 5 minute taxi (which are cheap) can definitely get you places. 20 minutes by taxi to the furthest places went like Hongdae university. Taxi was faster than trains we found. Hotel had everything one needed for self service apartment living.

-good breakfast
-friendly staff
-great location -sometimes the front desk staff was weak on English.
-could not bring food from the continental breakfast up to my room. the dormy inn was a very nice hotel where you got just a little more than what you paid for. and the price was very reasonable. while the carpet on some floor was in obvious need of some repair and you could tell that some corners had been cut. i.e. no computers in the rooms. there was ample availability of hard internet lines in the rooms.
Nightlife Tip : at Gangnam station if you like dance clubs there is NB and Harlem both are good RnB night spots. also around that area there are a variety of good restaurants and pubs.

This hotel provides a perfectly good place to rest after meetings and allows for working remotely. It's not a tourist hotel really, as it doesn't have the amenities associated with leisure travel. As a business hotel, as long as you bring your own laptop, it's perfect. Rent a mobile phone at the airport, as the cost of doing so is very cost effective (for local and international calls). Korea operates a 3G network.
