The hotel is right by the marina. The bed was comfortable and the TV had Netflix which was great for watching western movies. The desk and bathtub were too small. The room could have been cleaned a little better and it was in need of some minor maintenance. The accent lighting had some strange exposed wires and there was a minor tear in the wall. There are some good scenic walks nearby with the Han river. You can walk across the lock by taking an elevater to a tunnel that runs underneath. Great place to ride bicycles or enjoy the seaside. Wonderful, modern shopping mall only 10 minutes walk from here.

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.

Do not wait until checkout to try and go to the lobby. Waited almost 30 minutes for an elevator that had room but it seemed like there were a lot of tour groups so it could have just been due to the groups and Buddha’s birthday. The view and local restaurants were worth every penny I would stay here again.
