Was a nice and comfortable stay. The bathrooms unique and stylish. The bed was just firm enough with aome squishiness for a great night sleep. There is also a 24hr emart located in the lobby, which was a suprise. A shame there is no offer for complementary breakfast with the reservation of their more expensive rooms. Just free pool access. Other than that, everything was great!

I booked this hotel because it was very close to Gimpo Airport and it was my first time in Seoul so I needed to just get a good night sleep at a clean and affordable hotel and it was very clean and cozy. Loved the bathroom and bedroom had enough space to recharge. I was travelling from Osaka and needed to do my Laundry and this hotel had a nice Laundry and was able to have a full case of clean clothes I was unable to do in Japan so thank you for offering this service. The only discomfort I had was, the AC was off because of the time of yr I think all the Hotels in South Korea set their AC on Auto throughout the 4 seasons but my room had a huge enough window I could open and got lovely fresh air from the river. The only things I did not like was they don't offer the swimming pool area to all guest. It's the first hotel I booked where they charge extra for hotel and extra for additional towels. I think is you remove these and offer to all guest, it would be a better experience. The convenience store was very convenient but there is nothing nearby and no public transportation. I loved that there were English speaking staffs available. Overall I good stop for a few nights if you are just arriving in Seoul from Gimpo Airpot.
