Reviews

  • Anuar from Kazakhstan (8/10)

    Hotel location was very good: easy to reach by metro as well as bus.However, I reached the hotel by taxi from the airport.

  • Hermione from Taiwan (9/10)

    There's a good taste of the hotel design, yet it was a shame that some parts of the interior were covered due to the renovation.

    The staff were so friendly and supportive, their instruction of the shuttle bus 6703 from the hotel to Incheon airport was very helpful.

  • Karlo from Croatia (8/10)

    Breakfast was good. Not so much stuff to choose from but you can order stuff from the chef (for free) and his cooking is delicious.

  • Kyoko from United States (9/10)

    Location

  • Chauvel from France (8/10)

  • Zuriel from Australia (8/10)

    Great hotel, friendly staff, convenient location

  • Kalamkas from Kazakhstan (9/10)

    The staff was friendly, the location is amazing, there were many interesting places nearby and the room was clean. I also liked the robe which was very comfortable

  • Natalie from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The bed was very comfortable!

  • Zoubeïda from France (8/10)

    The location was quite good. 3-4 minutes away from a metro station, 10 mins away from COEX and Bongeunsa temple, not to far from Lotte mall & park either. Although it's not in Myongdeong, Insadeong or Hongdae, and actually at least half an hour away from these places, there are tons of really nice neighborhoods nearby, espacially if you like great shopping & brunch cafés (Apejeongrodeo) rather than going out at night.
    The staff was much nicer and helping than what the other comments stated, and I don't speak a word of korean. Although the room was small, it had nice amenities (coffee machine, good AC, daily bottle of water, small fridge, japanese toilets, nice hair & body products..)

  • Aziza from Kazakhstan (9/10)

    Great location, clean hotel.
