It is right next to the subway 5 line and on that line it’s easy to connect to all the other lines in the subway system. The Seoul Botanic Garden is an easy walk from the hotel. Plenty of places to eat at because it’s next to a large LG business park.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Decent stay with some extras

PROS: good size room and bed, fairly comfortable bed (might be considered firm by some). Large window to provide good natural light. Close walk to public transportation. Has small kitchen and washer/dryer. Tea kettle with tea and instant coffee. Good sized bathroom. CONS: lamps wouldn’t turn off, so had to unplug them. No laundry soap with washer, so need to bring your own. Also, instructions only in Korean. Instant coffee was horrible. Bathroom door didn't close all the wall. 8.5/10

金浦空港の早朝便に乗るために一泊しました。地下鉄の駅からすぐで周りには飲食店も多く立地は非常に良く、フロントスタッフもにこやかで対応も良かったです。 部屋も清潔で広々しており、1人には十分でしたがエアコンの音が少々うるさかったのが少し残念… 全体的には良いホテルなので機会があればリピートありかなと思います
