The hotel was easy to find using navigation, located right by the road and quite noticeable.
First, the pros:
1. The front desk staff spoke good English, making communication smooth. The room was cleaned daily when I pressed the cleaning service button, and they did a thorough job. Staff members were always friendly and greeted guests warmly.
2. It's a walkable distance from the subway, which is convenient. There's also a Hyundai Department Store and COEX nearby for shopping and entertainment. There's a CU convenience store right in the hotel's basement, perfect for picking up daily necessities and snacks. Plus, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants around the hotel.
3. The area is quite pleasant, surrounded by office buildings. It's not as crowded or noisy with tourists as places like Myeongdong.
Now for the cons:
1. The air conditioner only had two fan speed settings, and even the lowest setting felt too strong.
2. The soundproofing wasn't great. If you have a loud neighbor, it can be quite bothersome late at night.
3. I stayed in room 402 this time, and unfortunately, an adjacent building's rooftop was right outside my window. On the third night, it rained, and the raindrops hitting the metal sheeting on that rooftop made an incredibly loud dripping noise. I barely slept that night; it was truly miserable.
