M Chereville Residence Hotel, Seoul

Great location and good service for the most part. The gym is tiny and pretty much useless. Rooms are good size and living room also. The only thing that really killed it was the cigarette smell in the rooms. We stayed there for 10 days and the smell will still not go away. Otherwise I would pretty much recommend it to anyone. I think there is also poor ventilation since some time the smoking smell would get stronger. Could use some more dishes and utensil too. They do not provide any utensils which is confusing since they give you dishes.

The M Chereville was extremey disappointing. Upon arrival you have to locate the reception desk which is usually when you walk into a building. But sadly to say it's on the 5th floor here. The last thing you want after a lenghthy flight is to wait almost 10 minutes on an elevator to check in. After receiving my key (not a keycard) I had to wait another 10-15 minutes on two elevators that service over 22 floors (including housekeeping)! Finally I unlock my room door after fumbling with the key (no keycard). I go inside and just want to walk right back out! It's not welcoming at all. NO Pictures. Barely any dishes and silverware, no internet access, and a phone that you must stand to speak on because it doesn't reach to anywhere! I had to request someone come up to my room to connect my internet. Oh and breakfast is a waste of time. They advertise a western breakfast, but it only accomodates Asians. I booked this hotel for two days. If I could've cancelled when I walked in I would've. I'll never return and never recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

We really liked the excitement and vibrancy of the Gangnam area and this hotel is ideally located to take advantage of this.
