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!
It is a bit isolated, not too much around, but good view on the river and a Premium Outlet at a 10 minute walk. The room was too hot as the AC was not functioning, luckily I was able to open the window.
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.
The toilet flush didn’t work properly but except that I like it all in all

The AC in the room wasn’t working properly when we contacted the front desk they sent someone but nothing change. The room was smaller than in the pictures but we were only staying for one night so it was ok.
Only comment was I didn’t understand why I couldn’t buy a coupon for breakfast I should have bought one the day before so I had to go to the Ramada down the road and paid cash for breakfast, very odd.
Dirty room and overall property. Carelessness is so evident everywhere. Breakfast buffet quality was very poor - types of food and the quality and taste were bad
