My wife & I stayed at this 4-star hotel for 3 weeks & we love it. The hotel is very nice & conveniently located in a very nice area of Gangnam-gu, an expensive & trendy district in Seoul, South Korea. There's Cheongdam subway station only 5 min walk from the hotel & Konkuk University subway station is only 3 stops from it, where there are plenty of good food for everyone to enjoy. Highly reccommended.

I did enjoy my stay at the hotel. I have some business in Gangnam district, so it's quite convinient for me to stay at this hotel, bus stop is very close. However, U only can go to the hotel by Bus, no nearby underground. There's no problem for me coz I really enjoy going by bus. Staff was friendly, the hotel is clean but looked a bit older than I thought. Anyways nice stay.
