    “Neat. Good.”

    I like hexagonal hotels, and this is exactly that kind of hotel. Cleanliness, service, breakfast, facilities, price, and location—none of these stand out, but all are good without any flaws! The breakfast is very good! I recommend it!

    “Good accommodation.”

    The location is great. The transfer station at Sinnonhyeon Station is nearby, making it convenient to park the car and take the subway during rush hour. Gangnam Station, Terminal Station, Samseong Station, and Jamsil Station are all easily accessible. The cleanliness could be better; there was some dust and hair visible. The breakfast is good as well. The swimming pool, sauna, and fitness center are free, but I didn't have time to use them. I was a bit unlucky as there was some construction at the hotel entrance, which was inconvenient, and there was also noisy construction in the neighboring building. Overall, I am satisfied.

    “It was comfortable.”

    The front staff was very kind and communicated in Japanese. The hotel is conveniently located near Shin Nonhyeon Station, Gangnam Station, and Yeoksam Station, with cafes and convenience stores nearby. In addition to being convenient, the hotel was quiet, and the bed was very comfortable, allowing for a good night’s sleep. The bathroom and the room were very clean and well-maintained. I used a deluxe room, and there was enough space even with two suitcases open. I would definitely like to use this hotel again when heading to the Gangnam area. The only downside was that the room’s lighting buttons were a bit difficult to understand, but overall, it was really comfortable.

    “Excellent”

    The hotel seemed smaller than expected, perhaps because it was right in the city center. However, once you step outside, the area is filled with shopping streets, which is nice for exploring. The room was generally good, but it felt particularly dry compared to other hotels. Regardless of the temperature control, it was just extremely dry, causing discomfort in my eyes and throat.
